Satmar Ahroinie Civil War in Bnei Brak Continues .... with physical Fist fights ....on Chanukah ... Zionist Police Had to Break It Up !

R' Katz and R,Meisels in Better Times

So here is the story as I know it .... For many years the Rav of the Ahroinie Shul in Bnei Brak was Rabbi Eliyahu Katz ..... He also served as the "Head"of the Yeshivah... Notice I wrote "Head" When he died it was natural to appoint his son R' Avraham Shlomo Katz as the Rav.... Problem...... R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Monroe threw a wrench into the mix and appointed his nephew R' Chaim Tzvi Meisels as Rosh Yeshivah of the Satmar Yeshivah of Bnei Brak .... in effect taking away one of jobs of R' Katz... The problem..... In Satmar circles there is no such thing as "Rosh Yeshivah" "Rosh Yeshivah" is a term used primarily in the Litvishe circles, where practically everyone that wears a long frock with two buttons in the back is a Rosh Yeshivah.... You can find even 10 Roshei Yeshivah in any given Litvishe Yeshivah ... in fact in some Litvishe Yeshivois even a third grade Rebbe is called a Rosh Yeshiva..... Finally the devoted talmidim of Rav Meisels had enough with this phony Litvishe "Rosh Yeshivah" business and took out a page from the Satmar "alter heim" pagebook and started to beat the crap out of the R' Katz followers and even physically threw out R' Katz from the Satmar Bais Medrish on one occasion ....(there are videos of this)... The Satmar Rebbe from Monroe tried stopping the family feud, trying his best to avoid a civil war in his own camp .... and he actually managed to quiet things down for awhile.... Well last night on the holy night of "Zos Chanukah" while the fires of the menorah were flickering towards the heavens, down here on earth, the Meisel Camp in the spirit of Chanukah took up his fight like the Chashmonoim  and a fist fight erupted and of course they called the Zionists to break it up!... The Katz Camp called this a"pogrom" ...see the poster below... Meanwhile in the Yeshivah this morning, R' Meisels according to the Kikar Shabbos Blog, begged his "Maccabees" not to use physical force to fight on his behalf ... **Kindly Support Our Blog by Browsing the Ads.

Rabbi Sholom Dovber Levy dies on flight from Israel after attending granddaughter's wedding

A French Jewish man died on a flight from Israel to France, as he was returning home after attending his granddaughter’s wedding.

Rabbi Sholom Dovber Levy, a member of the Chabad movement and a resident of Strasbourg, France, was flying back home to France Monday when he died suddenly onboard the flight.

The 66-year-old fell asleep on the flight, and shortly before the plane landed in Frankfurt, Levy’s wife tried to wake him up. Levy, who apparently died in his sleep, was declared dead shortly thereafter.

Levy was a survivor of a stabbing attack three years ago, when a Muslim man brandishing a knife screamed “Allahu Akhbar” and stabbed Levy in the stomach. 

The assailant targeted Levy because he was identifiable as a Jew.

Levy will be laid to rest in Beit Shemesh Tuesday. He is survived by his wife, Helene Levy, and the couple’s 12 children.

Woman Wakes Up From 7 Month Coma After Family Told To ‘Pull The Plug’

Never give up hope..... as long as their is life ...there is hope!

An Ohio woman was in a coma for seven months due to a mysterious illness — but her and her mother’s fight for her survival led to a second chance at life.

Kertisha Brabson, 31, of Alliance fell into a coma in September 2018 after her mother noticed she was acting funny.

“Something has taken over and ruining my daughter,” Kertease Williams told CBS affiliate WBNS. “I just don’t know what.”

At the hospital, Kertisha was doing strange things like reaching out for things that were not there, talking out of her head and dancing as if she was at a concert. Then a seizure put Kertisha in a coma that would last seven months.

Kertisha was diagnosed with Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, a disease where the body fights its own brain cells.

The doctors “told me she was brain-dead and pull the plug and all those things,” said Kertease Williams, who said she was determined to save her daughter, who has two small children of her own.

Chassidim Send an Incoherent "Spokesman" To Address Anti-Semitism With State Officials in Monsey

This Gestetner character may have good intentions and may even have great ideas for the Chareidie Community but in this video, he is a total embarrassment as a "spokesman" to the Chassidishe community!

Who put him there to speak???
The guy cannot form two coherent sentences in a row.......

It starts out ok ...but .056 into the video everything goes south!

Watching him blabber, I cringed as if someone was trying to shlep a metal chair on a tile floor!

I tried in vain to decipher what he was "ploppling" about ...

very hard to understand his childish ranting ...

Tells State officials that pandering to the community is "pareve" ..... "not meat nor dairy" ...

Is this guy insane?

He did have a point ..... but if you never sat in a Chassidishe yeshivah you wouldn't have a clue to what the hell he was talking about .... a bunch of double talk and gibberish...

First he tells them not "to show up to Jewish events, but to sit home" and then he questions "why they don't post the photos to their social media." 

At one point he mocks them for showing up at Chabad Menorah lighting  suggesting, albeit discretely, that Chabad aren't really Chassidim... and they should know better that when they do show up at "Menorah Lightnings" that they, meaning Chabad,  are really not the Chassidishe community.

So Chabad is not part of the Chasidishe community? 
There are no Chabadnikers living in Monsey.... ?

So he is not representing them?
Even if he believes that to be true.... why tell it to a bunch of goyim...anti-Semites?

Can't we find one Chassidishe guy that can speak a decent English?

We finally have an opportunity to address this dangerous issue and they send out a 5 year-old child masquerading as an adult!

Crazy stuff!

Question Why Did Rabbi Rottenberg Continue With the Melava Malka & What Did He say??

This was a tragedy beyond anyone's imagination.... 

And I certainly do not want to rain on anyone's parade.....

 I personally know the one in very critical condition ...

I know I will get a lot of flack for this....

But I want to know seriously .... from my readers that go to these "tishen" .....

Was this appropriate?

Was the dancing and singing while one of the participant's life was dangling on a thread, the correct thing to do?

Would it have been such a tragedy ... if the Rebbe, may he live and be well till 120 years, would have taken out a tehillim ????

Would it have been a tragedy for the rebbe to go immediately to the hospital and visit the guy who was so viciously stabbed??

His own children were rushed to the hospital ......

I'm asking ..... not criticizing .....

which father continues singing and clapping while his children are in the emergency room?

And his talk at the Melava Malka........ 

The good Rebbe  is bringing a "Shlah Ha'Kodash" to justify his singing and clapping while a guy is being operated on??? 

What?????

Do chassidim in general, dance and clap when their rebbe is deathly ill? Or do they congregate to say Tehillim together?

I am asking this with the utmost respect ....

Another question....

Why was he thanking the Governor ... why???

Didn't the governor just sign into law allowing felons "No bail?"

And opening the prison gates? ...

This would have been a great moment to tell the Governor that his leftist policies are bringing ruin to this once great city!

 People want answers to these simple questions....

If anyone out there has a reasonable explanation, I would love to hear it ....

Tweeting the Talmud

With some 20,000 bursts of Talmudic wisdom over the past seven years, @TweetTheDaf has become one of most popular Daf-focused Twitter accounts.

When he began his second round of learning Daf Yomi in the summer of 2012, Ben-Zion Radinsky decided he was going to do it differently this time. Besides keeping up with the learning itself, he was going to hold himself more accountable and review the material more often. And he would finally begin recording all of the fascinating nuggets from the Gemara he saw so many others whiz past.

But the Woodmere, New York, resident realized he would need a system with which to tackle these goals. Soon enough he came upon a modern-day solution: Twitter.

Through publicly telegraphing his daily learning and observations from the Daf on the relatively new and rapidly growing social media platform, Radinsky would be able to keep his learning on track while also sharing insights with other Daf enthusiasts. 

Thus began the @TweetTheDaf account.

The "BS" Spin Has Begun as Black Stabber's Leftist Jewish Lawyer Says He Has History of Mental Problems

So now the Black "cholyereh" got himself a Jewish Lawyer and the "Bull Crap Spin" will now start in full throttle! 

They are trying to tell us that the Black Perp drove for hours looking to stab only Jews ... has "mental issues" 
Why do people with "mental issues" stab Jews? Hmmm?
Why don't they hug and kiss them?Why are they only into violence?????

Who is this Michael Sussman anyway ???

A Radical Leftist who ran for Attorney General of NY on the Green party 

Now a report from the FBI:

He kept an anti-Semitic journal and googled “Why did Hitler hate the Jews” the same month as the attack, prosecutors said Monday in a hate crimes complaint.

The journal, found at Thomas’s home in Greenwood Lake, included questions like “why ppl mourned for anti-Semitism when there is Semitic genocide” and references to “Adolf Hitler” and “Nazi culture” on the same page as drawings of a Star of David and swastika, prosecutors said.

Thomas searched “German Jewish temples near me,” “Zionist temples in Elizabeth NJ” and “Prominent companies founded by Jews in America” in the weeks leading up to the Saturday attack, according to the criminal complaint.

Jews have to stand up and say they that we will not accept this BS ...

The family of Greenwood Lake resident Grafton Thomas, the man accused of injuring five Hasidic Jews in a machete attack at a Hanukkah party in Monsey Saturday evening issued a statement at 10:10 p.m. Sunday on his behalf through their newly selected lawyer 

Michael Sussman.

Nechumi Yaffe Pioneering Chasidic Woman "Terrified" to Return To Israel As Tenure-Track Professor

In early 2020, when Nechumi Yaffe becomes a tenure-track professor at Tel Aviv University, she will be perhaps the first chasidic woman to achieve such a position — and not just at Tel Aviv, but at any university.

After spending two years in the United States, as a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University’s Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Economics, the Haifa native will move back to Israel. Not only will she be reaching the next stage in a relatively late, fast-moving career, she will also be risking scrutiny and rejection from members of her own community.

“I am scared of going back,” she said quietly during an interview earlier this year at a local ice cream shop in Borough Park, Brooklyn. “I am terrified.” She worries about the old neighborhood where she grew up and worries her family there may be made too uncomfortable to stay. Her three children have grown up knowing their mother is different — to the degree that they know to avoid sharing the details of their mother’s job. But they only partially understand the gravity of the challenges their family likely will face.

Black "Klavta" accused of assaulting 3 Jewish women arrested again DAY after release

A Brooklyn miscreant accused of slapping three Orthodox Jewish women last week struck again on Sunday and was busted for assaulting another woman.

A day after she was released without bail on charges stemming from the Friday attack, Tiffany Harris was charged with assault for slugging a 35-year-old in the face on Eastern Parkway near Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights at about 9:15 a.m., according to police.

It’s unclear if Sunday’s victim is Jewish — and police weren’t treating the incident as a hate crime. The victim suffered swelling and bruising to her right eye from the pummeling, police said.

On Friday, Harris allegedly assaulted three Orthodox women on Eastern Parkway near Kingston Avenue — one of at least eight anti-Semitic incidents in the city last week.

“Yes, I slapped them. I cursed them out. I said ‘F-U, Jews,” Harris admitted to cops after that attack, according to a criminal complaint.

The two assaults occurred about a mile away from each other.

Reform Rabbis Pass A Resolution Supporting Reparations to Blacks As Jews Are Being Stabbed by Them

Leftist self-hating Jews passed an idiotic resolution supporting reparations to American Blacks...

All blacks alive today living in the US never served as slaves to anyone. 
Not one white person alive today owns or owned a black slave .......
Yet, these Jew haters who are themselves "Jews" are prepared to give Jewish money to these barbarians.....
While the Jewish blood of their brothers and sisters are being spilled on the streets .... they pass this resolution.....

Despicable: Black attacks on Jews are rooted in Democrats' coddling of anti-Semites

Once-tolerant New York City is becoming a haven for anti-Semitic, Jew-hating attacks, getting to be like Paris, eventually driving Jewish flight based on the surge of unpunished violence in the leftist-run city.

It's shocking, not only because the number of unprovoked attacks on Jewish people just minding their own business and going about their daily lives are very numerous -- nine at last count within about a week -- but because within the violence itself is a tissue of lies, explicit and implicit, from silky enablers to conceal and euphemize what's really happening.  

In every case, the victim was Jewish and the attacker was black. That's a politically incorrect to the press and its leftist allies, but it's true.

A true Hero according to the people who were present at the stabbing

This just shows that you only need one man with courage ... 
Glick, without any arms and who probably never had a physical fight with anyone in his entire life managed to save countless lives ...

 People who run in a  cowardly manner  will likely cause many fatalities 
 no matter how many experienced fighter’s or armed are present ....

I am not blaming anyone ... people are in shock but we had better prepare for this ..... 


Yosef Eli Glick, who saved many lives during the stabbing attack by fighting off the attacker, gives his eyewitness account of the incident.

Glick said he grabbed a small coffee table that was sitting near the door, and through it at the man.

Glick kept screaming to everyone else, “run away, run away, he’s coming!”

Glick says the man looked at him and said, “Hey you, I’ll get you!”

Litzman the "Sexual Abuser Enabler" Appointed Health Minister ... Australia Jews Furious!

Fury in Australian community over Litzman ministerial appointment

In the Jewish community in Australia, Yaakov Litzman is seen as the single individual most responsible for the endless procrastination in Malka Leifer's extradition proceedings, condemning his appointment as Health Minister.

The Jewish community in Australia is furious over the Israeli government's decision to appoint MK Yakov Litzman (UTJ) Health Minister in place of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu

The Zionist Federation of Australia condemned the appointment, calling it a "slap in the face."

Police believe that Litzman, who served as Deputy Health Minister prior to his appointment as Health Minister, illegally involved himself in the legal processes concerning Malka Leifer, a 52-tear-old Australian educator accused of sexually abusing her students.

Leifer is currently in Israel, despite the fact that Australia's government has repeatedly asked for her extradition. 

Litzman is suspected of using his influence in the Health Ministry to secure a psychiatric assessment of Leifer which would find her unfit for extradition, thereby preventing it.

In August, Israel Police recommended indicting Litzman on charges of offering bribes, fraud, and breach of trust in two separate cases.

Motti Klein 37 Prominent Belzer Chassid Dies Suddenly

A prominent Belzer hassid, philanthropist Motti Klein who owned the restaurant chain "Motis," died suddenly on Saturday at age 37.

Klein, a resident of Bnei Brak, was in the Kiryat Belz neighborhood of Jerusalem for "Shabbat Hanukkah" (the Sabbath that falls out on Hanukkah, which is often spent with relatives - ed). Shortly after Shabbat began, he collapsed and was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

He underwent tests at the hospital and was released after Shabbat. He returned to his family and then collapsed again on Saturday night and passed away.

Friends described him as a tremendous philanthropist who donated his money to needy families.

"He was welcoming to anyone who came in contact with him, assisted with any request for help, even when he was going through difficult times," one of his friends said.

He is survived by three small children.

The funeral procession took place Saturday night, and left from his home in Bnei Brak.

Artist Peter Max allegedly siphoned over $4M from elderly "Cousin Lou"

Famed pop artist Peter Max and his wife Mary — who committed suicide in June — allegedly siphoned $4.6 million in cash from their dementia-riddled relative, “Cousin Lou,” according to court papers. 

They used much of the cash to splurge on bling, including a Cartier bracelet, earrings and a ring collectively worth $1.485 million; $1.3 million in jewelry from Bhagat; a Verdura ring costing $58,500; and $47,000 Van Cleef & Arpels earrings, among dozens of other pricey purchases, according to Lou’s daughter, who is seeking to recoup the cash.

Ricki Reisner said her dad, Louis Gottlieb, was so ill in the years before his January 2015 death at age 90 he didn’t realize the Maxes were taking advantage of him — sometimes writing more than one hefty check to them a day, she says in a Manhattan Supreme Court claim. 

Gottlieb ran a successful construction business before moving into money management, carefully investing the bulk of his cash in bonds for years.

Suspects arrested in last week’s spree of eight anti-Semitic attacks are being quickly released right back into the neighborhoods

Suspects arrested in last week’s spree of eight anti-Semitic attacks are being quickly released right back into the neighborhoods they terrorized thanks to “bail reform” legislation — which doesn’t even take effect until Jan. 1.

The most recent case of revolving-door justice came Saturday morning, with the release, with no bail, of a woman charged with punching and cursing at three Orthodox women, ages 22, 26 and 31, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn at dawn the day before.

The accused assailant, Tiffany Harris, was hauled in handcuffs before a Brooklyn judge on 21 menacing, harassment and attempted assault charges.

“F-U, Jews!” Harris, 30, of Flatbush, allegedly shouted during the attack.

“Yes, I was there,” Harris later admitted to cops, according to the criminal complaint against her.

“Yes, I slapped them. I cursed them out. I said ‘F-U, Jews.”
