I got divorced at the Rabbanut

by Batya Brownstein

Having libertarian values and being proud to live in Israel is tough. Balancing a value system that may seem self-contradicting at times invites a unique brand of cognitive dissonance.

 It’s a dissonance that extends to how one sees security issues, social problems and welfare in a social democracy, the explanation and defense of these stances in difficult milieus of educated people and academic circles, and yes — how one feels about marriage and divorce in the State of Israel.

I have always been defensive and angry at the centralization and mandate of religious “services” in Israel. I’ve seethed over the religious monopoly at the hands of a ruling minority, the alienation and delegitimization of other Jewish factions worldwide, and the fact that one cannot — CANNOT — convert, marry or divorce in Israel outside of the mandates laid down by the Rabbanut and within its purview.

Blacks Beat & Rob Two Israeli Girls In Flatbush Subway Station ...... Black Subway Rider Just Walks By

An Israeli tourist and her New Yorker pal were attacked by two teens at knifepoint at a Brooklyn subway station early Friday, police said.

The two women were at the elevated Avenue I station near McDonald Avenue in Midwood, when a female attacker, her head swathed in a white cloth, grabbed one of them, Shelly Zwebner, 20, as the two pals left the platform.

The assailant shoved Zwebner down the stairs, video released by the NYPD shows.

A man then joined the attack, snatching Zwebner’s purse and punching her repeatedly as the female attacker yanked her hair.

The panicked victim shed her coat and pleaded with her assailant as the thief held out a hand and demanded her valuables, the video shows.

Peleg Protestors Taking to the Streets in Jerusalem & Bnei Brak on Sunday

Peleg Yerushalmi "rabbonim" have instructed talmidim and avreichim to take to the streets and resume protests in both Jerusalem and Bnei Brak on Sunday afternoon.

Protestors in Jerusalem are instructed to meet at the junction of Bar Ilan and Shmuel HaNavi Streets at 3:30PM. The moderate faction of Peleg will not be participating.  

Rav Tzvi Friedman, a self appointed Rav ...is reportedly expected to address the protest.

The protests follow the arrest and jailing of Peleg-affiliated talmid Yehuda Tumback (טומבק) in Ben-Gurion Airport last week as he tried leaving Israel on a trip to kivrei tzaddikim in Europe, when he was supposed to be learning in Yeshiva..........

Tumback (tooooooo) had refused to register for the draft ....

And now because of his shenanigans .... his crazed colleagues will tie up traffic and cause untold havoc, loss of Jewish hard earned money ..........and bittul Torah!

DemocRATS Hate Trump's Success'

by Michael Goodwin

As I watched Speaker Nancy ­Pelosi surround herself with large American flags and wrap her impeachment putsch in the language of the Founders, a Mark Twain line came to mind.

“Don’t try and teach a pig to sing,” he warned. “It’s a waste of your time, and it annoys the pig.”

Yet that’s exactly what Pelosi is doing.

No matter how she dresses it up, her impeachment is a pig.

Muhammad makes list of 10 most popular baby names in the US for the first time .... "Yoilie" Didn't Make the List!

THE most popular baby names this year have been revealed with Muhammad making the top ten in a coveted list for the first time in the US.

According to BabyCenter's list of 100 most popular baby names for girls and boys in America, Sophia is still at the top for girls while Liam is the No.1 boy's name.

Although the nation's favorite monikers have more or less remained the same since 2018, there has been a rise in Arabic names in 2019.

This year, Muhammad and Aaliyah have replaced Mason and Layla placing tenth on the coveted list.

In 2018 and 2017, Muhammad came in at No.14 on BabyCenter's list with a 29 percent jump in popularity this year.

Shmuel Puretz Arrested For Forcibly Removing Babies From Mothers Against Their Will!

The Nazareth Magistrate’s Court on Thursday partially lifted a media gag order on naming a key suspect in a two-year investigation into a suspected baby trafficking ring in the ultra-Orthodox community.

Rabbi Shmuel Puretz 44, a businessman who divides his time between New York and Jerusalem, is suspected of brokering a deal under which a heavily pregnant Israeli woman was flown to New York and her baby removed from her allegedly against her will, then given for adoption to a childless ultra-Orthodox couple who live in Israel.

The mother, who is identified in court documents as “Yael,” was at the time under the legal guardianship of another rabbi’s wife, Rivka Segal, who is also a suspect.

Neturei Karta Terrorist's Home Finally Burns Down in Monsey..... B'Chasdei Hashem!

A fire ripped through a home in Monsey on Wednesday morning, but thankfully, the occupants escaped unharmed.

The Monsey Fire Department responded to the home at 15 Nyack Turnpike just after 10:00AM. Arriving firefighters found heavy fire blowing through the room of the home.

All occupants had been safely removed prior to their arrival.

Unfortunately, one firefighter was injured. He is reportedly in stable condition.

The home was totally destroyed.

It has since been confirmed that the home belongs to a radical member of Neturi Karta. (His photo is attached below).

This individual is well-known, as he constantly meets with Jew haters and anti-Semites across the globe, and is seen in most of their videos at protests around the world, speaking for the cameras. He has been photographed hugging and kissing terrorists that call for the destruction of Israel, including the leaders of Iran.

Fat Nadler ...... 'I'm not going to take any sh--':

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler had a blunt message as he privately addressed Democrats the day before his panel assumes a starring role in the impeachment inquiry.

“I’m not going to take any shit,” Nadler said in a closed-door prep session Tuesday morning — a rare cuss word from the lawyerly Manhattan Democrat that prompted some lawmakers to sit up in their chairs, according to multiple people in the room. 

Nadler’s warning shot referred to likely GOP antics to try to undermine the first impeachment hearing in the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. But it wasn’t lost on Democrats that Nadler’s message could also apply to those in his own party who have closely scrutinized his role in the House's impeachment probe.

While President Donald Trump may be under investigation, Nadler will be on the hot seat

19-Year-Old Tamar Fenigstein Struck & Killed By Jerusalem Light Rail In Front Of Horrified Friends

Rep. Devin Nunes Sues CNN “MOTHER OF FAKE NEWS” For $435M

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., sued CNN for defamation on Tuesday, accusing the cable network of publishing a “demonstrably false hit piece” about him amid his high-profile opposition to the Trump impeachment inquiry.

The 47-page lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, accuses the liberal network of publishing “numerous egregiously false and defamatory” statements about Nunes on Nov. 22, 2019 when journalist Vicky Ward reported claims that Nunes met with Ukranian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in Vienna in 2018 to dig “up dirt” on Hunter and Joe Biden.

Nunes, who has been leading GOP opposition to the House Democratic impeachment inquiry in the House Intelligence Committee, says he “did not go to Vienna or anywhere else in Austria in 2018” and “has never met” Shokin.

“CNN is the mother of fake news. It is the least trusted name. CNN is eroding the fabric of America, proselytizing, sowing distrust and disharmony. It must be held accountable,” the lawsuit, obtained by Fox News, states.

Nunes is seeking at least $435,350,000 in compensatory and punitive damages.

CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Black US comedian Haddish sings ‘Hava Nagila and Says She Is Learning Torah

In case you missed it: Black and Jewish US comedian Tiffany Haddish is having a bat mitzvah ceremony soon.

She has released a Netflix stand-up special inspired by the occasion as well.

So, naturally, on a special Sunday night edition of Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show,” Haddish broke into singing “Hava Nagila,” backed up by The Roots, Fallon’s famous house band.

She discussed discovering her Jewish heritage with Fallon before the charismatic performance.

One of the biggest entertainment stories out of 2017 was the “where did she come from?” appearance of Tiffany Haddish in the raunchy comedy “Girls Trip.” Starring opposite Jada Pinkett Smith, Regina Hall and Queen Latifah, Haddish stole the show from her better known co-stars as the outrageous, loose canon friend.

Rabbi Daniel Greer convicted on felony charges gets 12 years in prison

Rabbi Daniel Greer, who was convicted on four counts of risk of injury to a minor, was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison, suspended after he serves 12 years.

Superior Court Judge Jon M. Alander, who scolded the prominent defendant for his actions, also ordered Greer to be on the sex offender registry for 10 years. This would coincide with Greer’s 10 years of probation.

Alander denied a defense motion that Greer be allowed to remain free, as he had been, because he was able to quickly post a $750,000 bond after he was convicted in September. Greer’s attorneys wanted this extended while his conviction is appealed.

But calling Greer a flight risk, Alander said, “He has a strong incentive to flee. This sentence exceeds his life expectancy.”

Noting Greer is 79, Alander said the life expectancy for a man of that age is nine more years. “There is no greater incentive to flee than the cold realization that he might spend the rest of his life in prison.”

Shtisel complicated my Judaism

I succumbed to Shtisel-mania this summer. 

 I am a non-Orthodox convert to Judaism and am not considered a “real Jew” by the Charedi community portrayed in this series. 

 I am fairly certain that Nuchem would refer to me as one of those “damn evil people.”  Until Shtisel, my opinion of the Charedim was also not very flattering.

I co-chair a  Jewish Federation committee that advocates for religious pluralism in Israel, that in many ways “fights” the ultra orthodox monopoly on religion in Israel.  The ultra orthodox are a fast growing and marginalized population.  We ignore them at our peril. Shtisel helped me see that.  It also complicated my Judaism.

I cried when Shulem painted over the woman’s hair in Akiva’s painting.   I wanted to be indignant at him for his reaction to the painting, but I found myself feeling his pain. I understood why he couldn’t have possibly had a different reaction to it.

As a modern woman, I wanted to agree with Giti that Ruchami should not be married at 15.  However, I found myself understanding that a divorce would permanently affect her prospects for a future “normal” life in her community.  I found myself agreeing with the table of men discussing whether or not her marriage was valid or if she should seek a divorce.

Is WALMART Opening in Israel? Well they are recruiting ...

The company has been posting job listings on LinkedIn in recent weeks looking for cashiers, food handlers, pharmacists, and merchandise stockers in Jerusalem, the business website Calcalist reported.

Calcalist reported last year that representatives of Walmart visited Israel to look into the possibility of opening a branch in the country.

Some want to say that the Calcalist is mistaken and that the recruitment was for a city in the USA ..Jerusalem, Illinois.

Left-Winged “Peace Now Activists’ BOO & SHOUT Down Neturei Karta in Rammala .... ""You Are Not a JEW"

Who is the little Yeshivisha pipskqueek Rasha ...3rd from the left?

In a shocking video that was posted on social media on Sunday, Left-wing Israelis from the “Peace Now” organization began booing a speaker, Meir Hirsch from the radical Neturei Karta sect, who was addressing the gathered crowd at the Mukata in Ramallah during a peace conference.

In a bizarre twist, Leftist were shouting "You are not a Jew" at Meir Hirsch YM"S! 

Hirsch, who was invited and honored by Fatah, had said that the entire country of Israel, its very existence breaks international law and that the only way to combat it is through the BDS movement. Hirsch also stated that Zionists have no right to represent the Jewish people.

The Peace Now activists began booing Hirsch while he was talking and needed to be called to order by the organizers of the event. One Neturei Karta follower in the crowd shouted back at the Peace Now activists saying: “You smelly left-wing liars, you also participated in the butchery. You did it.”

Just two weeks ago, we published a video of Hirsch, where he prayed that Israel should be erased, and that the entire world should worship Allah.

65 year Old Chareidie from Bnei Brak Arrested For Molesting Seminary Girls

A parent of a 16-year-old seminary student filed a complaint with police over the past month in reference to a Chareidie man committing serious acts on his daughter and friends.

 It is suspected that the suspect was waiting for 16-year-old girls at a school in Bnei Brak to carry out prohibited and serious acts, prohibited by Torah and state law.

Upon receiving the report, police investigators opened an investigation that led over the weekend to identifying and detaining a suspect in the act. 

The suspect, a 65-year-old resident of Bnei Brak, was interrogated and imprisoned at the end of his investigation. At the weekend, at the request of the police, his arrest was extended in a Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court until tomorrow (Monday).

The details that came to the blog "Chadrei Chadrim" indicate that about a month ago, a similar complaint was filed against the suspect, and about eight months ago, he committed a similar offense.

 "This is a dangerous suspect and suspected of being a serial offender," the police representative said at a hearing in Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court on Friday.

"These are a considerable number of complaints against the suspect and also a large number of victims, who we fear have not filed a complaint with the police," he added, asking to extend his detention for five days.

The suspect's attorney, Adv. Yechiel Weinroth, argued that he should be released under supervised detention, adding that the suspect was already undergoing a psychiatric examination, as part of the indictments filed against him in similar offenses.

Recently, the suspect was sent to the Crimson Institute for rehab, Attorney Weinroth's attorney said, adding, "He took these treatments. He is in the process. ”He said there was a mistake in his judgment when they thought he could go alone to all sorts of places without close supervision.

Judge Hannah Klugman said at the end of the hearing, "I found there was a reasonable suspicion that the suspect was involved in the offense attributed to him," and, as stated, extended his detention by four days to noon Monday.

‘Everyone knows somebody:’ The ultra-Orthodox community's opioid epidemic

Last month, Miriam Peretz, a 17-year-old from an ultra-Orthodox background in Jerusalem, died of a drug overdose.
According to experts, her death falls on the backdrop of increasing drug use in the community, particularly of opioids.

The exact number of overdose deaths among ultra-Orthodox Jews is unknown because of the stigma of drug use. Also, when it comes to opioids, not all of the community’s first responders know the signs of an overdose, especially when there is no needle.

Eric Levitz, director of AZ House, a center that caters to the English-speaking Orthodox community in Jerusalem, contends that drugs, especially opioids, are a problem everywhere, adding it was inevitable that they would find their way into the religious community.

“If the community is only this big [indicating a small area] and [the problem is] on the outskirts, it doesn’t take much for it to reach the center,” says Levitz.

“Everyone knows someone. There’s no option [but to talk about it]. It’s that big a deal.”

Was the Last Night's Deadly Crash That Killed Tzipi Rimmel and Her Infant a Terrorist Act?

The Otzma Yehudit party called on the police this morning to investigate the fatal accident in which Tzipi Rimmel and her newborn baby Noam Rachel were killed to determine whether it was an Islamist terrorist attack.

According to the party, since the early morning hours, testimonies from various people present at the site indicate that the driver who struck Rimmel, who is an Arab, was traveling at high speed and deliberately did not stop despite the red traffic light and cars waiting at the intersection.

"We urge the police to investigate in depth the motives of the offending driver and examine whether there were no nationalist motives in his unruly leadership and whether he had any intentions of seizing the opportunity of vehicles waiting at the junction for a green light to kill Jews," Otzma Yehudit said.

Attorney Itamar Ben Gvir, one of the leaders of the party, wrote on Twitter: 

"This is not an 'accident.' It looks like murder! "

Chareidim Insisting On Separate Concerts Is A Phony Issue ..... They Sit In Mixed Theaters All the Time!

You must have heard about the Chareidie Concerts with Chareidie performers like MBD  that refuse to perform in mixed crowds..... ....

Cites like Haifa refused them separate seating in public venues ..... ...

You also must have noticed that I didn't blog about the issue ....

Why? You ask?

The simple answer is that Chareidim don't care either way ... they go to the movies, ball games, theaters and sit in mixed company constantly .......

It's only the performers that act like tzaddikim to impress those who never even go to concerts ....

All people going to concerts want to sit with their families ... that's the whole point of going out and spending some quality time in a nice setting .......
