Crying Schumer Threatens Supreme Court Justices ... Wants Them To Vote Permitting Killing of Newborn Babies!

“I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price!”

— Chuck Schumer at a pro-choice rally near SCOTUS as the court hears arguments about Louisiana’s abortion law

Twitter Ads info and privacyPresident Donald Trump said that Sen. Chuck Schumer should “pay a severe price” for threatening two Supreme Court justices on Wednesday who are hearing a Louisiana abortion case.

“There can be few things worse in a civilized, law abiding nation, than a United States Senator openly, and for all to see and hear, threatening the Supreme Court or its Justices,” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday night.

“This is what Chuck Schumer just did. He must pay a severe price for this!”

Earlier Wednesday, at a rally on the steps outside the high court, Schumer warned Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh would “pay the price” if they voted to restrict abortion rights.

The court was hearing a challenge to a Louisiana state law that required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic. Opponents said the law would limit women’s access to abortion in the state.

“I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer said. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Schumer’s comments even elicited a rare public rebuke from Supreme Court Justice John Roberts.

“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangers,” Roberts wrote on official Supreme Court letterhead.

Israel to France, Germany, Spain, Austria and Switzerland STAY HOME!

Israel on Wednesday imposed tough new travel restrictions on five European nations due to fears of coronavirus, barring entry to almost all non-residents of the Jewish state arriving from these affected countries.

Israel had earlier in the day ordered all citizens and residents returning from the five countries -- France, Germany, Spain, Austria and Switzerland -- into 14-day home quarantine upon entering the country.

The measures come on top of restrictions previously imposed on arrivals from mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Macau, South Korea, Japan and Italy.

Guidelines issued by the health ministry on Wednesday afternoon declared that foreigners from the affected European countries "will not be able to enter Israeli territory unless they can prove they have a place to stay in quarantine".

Frum Attorney and his Wife, children, and neighbor test positive for Coronavirus

The wife and two children, including a Yeshiva University student, of a Midtown lawyer infected with coronavirus also have been diagnosed with the illness, along with a neighbor — bringing to six the number of confirmed cases in the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday.

“They’re home on self-quarantine,” the governor said at a press conference in Albany, referring to the four people, including the neighbor, who had driven the Westchester County man to a hospital.

“We have unfortunately received news this morning that our student has tested positive for COVID-19. Our thoughts are with him and his family as well as to all those affected,” Yeshiva University said in a statement.

“We are taking every precaution by canceling all classes on Wilf Campus in Washington Heights. This includes all in-person graduate courses on that campus as wall as the boys’ high school,” it added.

The 20-year-old undergrad lived on campus at Yeshiva, officials said Tuesday, though he had not been there since Thursday, when his father — identified by sources as Lawrence Garbuz, 50, of New Rochelle in Westchester County — was admitted to NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville.

On Wednesday morning, two people who had contact with the student were taken to Bellevue Hospital for testing, Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.

“We will continue working closely with our State partners to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep New Yorkers safe,” Hizzoner said.

The Yeshiva student had been quarantined at his parents’ home, along with his mother and sister, while his dad remains hospitalized at NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center in Manhattan, where he was transferred Monday.

His 14-year-old sister attends the private Jewish SAR Academy in Riverdale that closed Tuesday for “precautionary measures” — as did its nearby sister school, the SAR High School. The school remained closed Wednesday.

“By definition, the more people you test, the more people you will find who test positive,” the governor said at the Albany news conference.

He also said about 300 students and faculty from SUNY and CUNY schools studying abroad in five high-risk countries — China, Iran, Italy, Japan and South Korea — would be brought home on a charter flight and quarantined in dorms for 14 days.

The sixth coronavirus patient is a 39-year-old health care worker who arrived from Iran and is self-isolated at her Manhattan home, where she is feeling better, Cuomo said. Her husband, who traveled with her, tested negative for the disease, he added.

Also testing negative was a “cluster” in Oneida County and six people in Buffalo who had been isolated in their homes after recently traveling to a part of Italy where travel warnings have been issued.

Temple Young Israel in New Rochelle, where the Westchester patients are congregants, has been ordered to suspend services and some members have been ordered to self-quarantine because of possible exposure.

Garbuz’s two other children are in Israel, according to Westchester County Executive George Latimer.

Rebbelich Going Into Panic As Chassidim Refuse to Kiss Their Hands Because of Corona

Rumors have it that the Rebbelich are perplexed by this new plague, and are trying to figure out ways to continue having the Chassidim kiss their hands....

Chassidim have decided that it's enough that they have to share their Rebbe's soup, luckshin and bubbelich! 

My sources say that kissing the hands of a Rebbe that had his hands kissed by hundreds, and we have no idea where those hands were before, is a breeding ground for hoof and mouth  disease.

In Israel, Chief Rabbi Lau asked that people stop kissing the mezuzah, stating that  R' Shlomo Zalman Auerbach z"l never kissed the mezuza ..he would just raise his hand toward the mezuzzah!

Shaked: Israeli Left Trying to Destroy Israeli Democracy

Former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked (Yamina) on Wednesday attacked the imitative of the Blue and White and Joint Arab List parties to advance legislation that would prohibit the president from imposing the task of forming a government to people under indictment.

"The left-wing camp that has the rule of law in its throat is trying to change the rules of the game and cancel the results of elections right afterwards through personal and retroactive legislation, is a violation of the foundation of Israeli democracy," Shaked said.

On the results of the election, 

Shaked said, "Of course, we expected more, and the right-wing bloc will achieve 61 seats. We have to wait for the results of the truth and see how a government can be formed. For the Israeli public, every effort must be made to form a government."

"Of course we would be happy if Liberman would come in but even if not alternatives will have to be found," MK Shaked stressed.

Earlier, due to Blue and White's attempt to pass a law that would prevent Netanyahu from forming a government, Knesset legal advisor Ilan Yinun made it clear that private legislation is not possible during this period.

 "As a rule, the Knesset plenum and Knesset committees do not convene in the two weeks between the elections and when the new Knesset convenes."

As Iran Becomes Ground Zero for Coronavirus Pandemic, Israel Becomes Ground Zero for Cure

On Monday, Iran’s Ministry of Health released new data concerning the coronavirus. It said that 66 people have died from the virus while 1501 have been infected. But given the Health Ministry’s propensity for lying, the figure for those dead and infected is likely much greater.

The rampant spread of coronavirus in Iran was a problem largely the result of the Islamic Republic’s own making. In early February, Iranian officials were aware of a potential problem in the city of Qom, where a shrine holy to Shia Muslims served as a breeding ground for the transmission of the virus. Yet authorities took no action to quarantine the city or even warn residents to take safety precautions. The shrine still remains open to visitors and video has recently emerged showing people licking the shrine.

By the time health officials began taking action, it was a case of too little too late. Iran’s Deputy Health Minister, Iraj Harirchi, downplayed claims made a city lawmaker that deaths from COVID-19 had reached 50 and said that he would resign from his post if that assertion was accurate. A day later, Harirchi became a victim of COVID-19 and was under quarantine but not before he was observed coughing on those adjacent to him during the previous day’s press briefing. Several other Iranian diplomats and parliamentarians have since been infected, and at least two have died including a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Eretz Yisroel ..... Explaining the Different Views ..... by DIN

I am approaching my second year living in the promised land, and I am thankful to the Creator that He gave me this opportunity! 

הודו לה' כי טוב כי  לעולם חסדו

For years I said three times a day

המחזיר שכינתו לציון

"Blessed are You, Hashem, Who restores His presence to Zion"

Did I know what I was talking about ?

The Midrash says that when the Jews were exiled to Bavel, the Shecheene was exiled with them.....

When the Jews were exiled to Edom the Shecheene was exiled with them...

Because according to the Midrash the  Schcheene goes where the Jewish people go.

 Now that I live in Israel and am witnessing the return of the Jewish people to their inheritance I now understand the true meaning of 

המחזיר שכינתו לציון

Blessed are You Hashem.... who restores the Shecheene (where it belongs) in Zion!

The Schecheene doesn't come to a deserted land ... the Shecheene returns when the Jewish people return...

I  always asked Hashem 

ותחזינה עינינו בשובך לציון ברחמים

"May our eyes behold Your return to Zion"

and now I am witnessing it!

 I have been approached by many people who still live in Chutz Le'aaretz and who visit Eretz Yisroel from time to time and who ask me 

"What was your motivation for making Aliyah?'"

Some of those asking, were huge Talmeidei Chachamim (Torah Scholars),  who were seriously asking me to prove to them that 

"Yishuv Eretz Yisroel" (settling in Israel) is a Mitzvah......
they explained that they were really seeking the truth..

 If it is a Mitzvah .... they questioned..

is it a "Mitzvah Medeoriisah" (Biblical)

or is it a "Mitzvah MeDrabbanan (rabbinical)?"

And if it is either one.... is it applicable now...?
or is it applicable only when there is a Bais Hamikdash?

Is it even a Mitzvah at all.... maybe it's just a "nice thing."

So I decided, that I will for the next couple of weeks אי''ה, discuss the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael in depth and bring down all the different "shitos" that either hold that it is a Mitzvah De'Oriisah, or hold that it is a "Mitzvah De'rabbanan." 

And, again, if it is either one ...is it applicable in the here and now!

I will do this in a respectful manner and will argue and debate this solely on its merits...

I will bring the view of the Rishonim such as the  Rambam, the Ramban, the Megilas Esther (commentary on the Rambam), Meeri, Ritvah, Rosh, Baal Haturim, Ran, and Terumas Hadeshen and others...with its sources...

I will bring the views of the Achronim such as Shiltei H'giborim, Radvaz, Mabit, Alshich, Mahrshal, Hachareidim, Maharal, Ramah, Drisha, Maharsha, Shlah, Yaavitz, Gra, Chidah, Haflah, Chayeh Adam, Yismach Moshe, Chasam Sofer, Aruch Lener, Yetev Lev, Netziv, Bais Haleivi, Reb Zadok HaChen, Aruch Hashilchan, Sdei Chemed, Ben Ish Chai, Chafetz Chayim, Ohr Samach, R Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld, Rav Kook, Chazon Ish, Avnei Nezer and others .. with its sources ..

I will bring the views of the contemporary rabbanim and poiskim such as the Satmar Rav, and Reb Moshe Feinstein, Rav Henkin. etc..
and I will also discuss the view of the Minchas Eluzer whose views are even more radical than the views of the Satmar Rebbe.

I will discuss the Shalosh Shevuoit... "The Three Oaths!"
and of course I will discuss how Zionism plays into all of this...

Once it is posted ... I will place it on the side of the blog so that everyone can reference it when needed..

Judge Orders Hillary Clinton to testify about her secret email server

Good luck deposing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She’s as slippery as an eel and twice as devious. She’ll figure out a way to circumvent the truth. It’s her greatest skill set.

Clinton and her lawyers have spent months inventing one excuse after another for why she shouldn’t have to answer questions in a deposition about her unauthorized and unsecured computer system. She used a clandestine server to handle all of her electronic communications as secretary of state, including the transfer and dissemination of thousands of classified and top-secret documents.

There is no doubt that Clinton’s unprotected email apparatus jeopardized America’s national security. The State Department eventually divulged that there had been, at minimum, thirty separate security breaches. Chinese intelligence reportedly gained access to her server housing classified documents. Did the Russians penetrate the same system? You can bet on it.

Thus, Clinton almost certainly committed a myriad of felonies under the Espionage Act and other criminal statutes. Instead of pastel pantsuits, Clinton should be wearing an orange jumpsuit. But the Obama administration protected her, allowing former FBI Director James Comey to clear her by twisting the facts and contorting the law.

30% of the Votes Counted .... Likud Has Large Lead..... Final Results Tomorrow

The counting of the votes in the 2020 election continues. As of 6:40 a.m. Tuesday morning, approximately 31.2% of the votes were counted.

The Likud party is leading with 29.61% of the votes. Blue and White comes in second with 23.55%, followed by the Joint List with 10.2%.

United Torah Judaism - 9.14%, Shas - 9.05%, Yamina - 6.47%, Labor-Gesher-Meretz - 5.72%, Yisrael Beytenu - 5.38%, and Otzma Yehudit has just 0.53%.

The counting of the votes is being done very slowly after the Central Elections Committee added control measures aimed at ensuring accurate results before they are made public.

As such, the results from the regular polling stations without the so-called “double envelopes” – which contain the votes of diplomats and IDF soldiers – are only expected on Tuesday afternoon or evening.

The full results will be announced at the earliest on Wednesday evening or on Thursday.

Bernie Sanders would be the most ‘godless’ president since Jefferson

by RICH LOWRY

Once upon a time, Bernie Sanders would have had another political vulnerability besides his socialism — namely, his atheism.

In 2016, a Democratic National Committee staffer had to apologize after the WikiLeaks hack exposed an email he wrote that suggested using Bernie’s atheism against him in the primary.

This year, Bernie’s religion — or lack of it — has barely made a ripple or even occasioned any comment. It used to be expected that serious presidential candidates would have religious faith and discuss it, in keeping with the religious coloration of the country they sought to govern. Just as the taboo against openly socialist candidates has given way, so has the old norm about religiosity eroded nearly to the vanishing point.

Sanders, a secular Jew, doesn’t call himself an atheist. The way he puts it is that he isn’t “actively ­involved in organized religion,” and that he believes in God, just not in a traditional matter. “To me,” he has said of his religion, “it means that all of us are connected, all of life is connected and that we are all tied together.”

R' Feldman Retracts His Opposition for WZO Elections ... R' Malkiel Kotler Remains Isolated ...

In a major development Monday morning, VIN news has confirmed that in a conversation with well-known news editor Rabbi Yitzchok Hisiger, Rabbi Feldman has retracted his position, and has stated that he is “Mevatel his Da’as to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky on the matter,” effectively declaring that he no longer opposes the position of Rabbi Brudny and Rabbi Kamenetsky.

This stunning development leaves Rabbi Malkiel Kotler the lone voice who still opposes the nearly unanimous view of Gedolei Hador that it is permitted to vote in the WZO elections.

Vatican opens archives on highly controversial Holocaust-era pope

The Vatican unseals the archives of history’s most contentious pope on Monday, potentially shedding light on why Pius XII stayed silent during the extermination of six million Jews during the Holocaust.

Two hundred researchers have already requested access to the mountain of documents, made available after an inventory that took more than 14 years for Holy See archivists to complete.

Award-winning German religious historian Hubert Wolf will be in Rome on Monday, armed with six assistants and two years of funding, to start exploring documents from the “private secretariat” of the late pope.

Wolf, a specialist on the relationship of Pius XII with the Nazis, is anxious to discover the notes of his 70 ambassadors — the pontiff’s eyes and ears during his time as head of the Catholic Church between 1939 and his death in 1958.

There should also be records of urgent appeals for help from Jewish organizations, as well as his communications with the late US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Hashem's Sense of Humor .... Oprah While Talking about "Balance" ....Falls Hard to the Floor

Oprah Winfrey is currently on her 2020 Vision speaking tour, stopping by the Forum arena in Los Angeles Saturday to discuss wellness and living a balanced life. Unfortunately for the media mogul, she quite literally lost her own balance while onstage, slipping and taking a pretty hard fall in front of hundreds of attendees.

Footage obtained by The Los Angeles Times shows the television icon taking a few steps to her right before tumbling in front of her shocked audience. After gathering herself on the floor, she called out “wrong shoes!” into the microphone, letting fans know exactly what caused the unexpected crash.

Fans of Winfrey immediately took to social media, with many in attendance saying she took the fall like a champ and actually walked around barefoot onstage for a bit before switching to more sensible footwear.

Sanders is a liar !... Dannon Israel UN Ambassador

Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon spoke Sunday at the AIPAC conference amid the backdrop of election campaigns in Israel and the US.

In his speech, Danon addressed the words of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who asserted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a "racist" and also had announced that he would not attend the AIPAC conference because it provides a platform for "leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights."

"We don't want Sanders at AIPAC. We don't want him in Israel. Anyone who calls our prime minister a 'racist' is either a liar, an ignorant fool, or both,”Danon said.

Danon revealed that the U.S. administration is likely to take action against those who cooperate with the UN Black List recently published by the "Human Rights Council". 

"This is further proof of the solidity of the U.S.-Israel relationship and the peoples' alliance," Danon said.

The Tragedy of Not Accepting All Your Children..... by DIN

The latest tragedy of the poor young Satmar girl taking her own life got me thinking.

I am not suggesting in any way that I know the details, I don't, I know what I read in the various Israeli Hebrew papers .and I heard the interview that she gave to channel 12..and of course there is  a lot more to this story that we will never ever know...

There isn't a week that goes by where another Jewish child or teenager is so despondent, so miserable, that they don't see another way out but to take their very own lives....

These children will never be parents, they will never be grandparents... they will no longer contribute to society....

and will always be the cause of broken hearts to their families.....

Parents will never forget that awful tragic day that their own flesh and blood was torn from them....

As we approach Purim a day of celebration I found an interesting and fascinating "Akeidas Yitzchok"... that I feel is relevant to our times....and would like to share it with you .

The very last verse of the megillah reads :

כי  מרדכי היהודי משנה למלך אחשורוש וגדול ליהודים ורצוי לרוב אחיו דרש טוב לעמו ודבר שלום לכל- זרעו

"For Mordechai the Jew was viceroy to King Ahasuerus, he was a great man among the Jews, and found favor with the multitude of his brethren; he sought the good of his people; and spoke peace for the welfare of all his seed (children)"

Rashi says ... that the pasuk praises Mordechai's lifetime achievements ...

and the ones mentioned last, are his greatest...

in other words, his being appointed viceroy was his least accomplishment....

while his "speaking in peace with his children" was his finest.

Question:

Can it be possible that the last accolade of Mordechai that he spoke in peace with his children" was a greater achievement than being viceroy?

Is this pasuk trying  to say that the fact that  Mordechai "was a great man among the Jews" a tzaddik, was not his best accomplishment?

Answers the "Akeidas Yitzchok" 

that yes, a Jew becoming a viceroy in Persia was in fact a great accomplishment, 

and yes, the fact that "he was great amongst the Jews" a tzaddik, was even a greater achievement..

a greater accomplishment than being a"great man" was the fact that almost all Jews accepted him as their leader, 

and a even greater achievement of being accepted by his fellow Jews was the fact that he only wanted the best for the Jewish people...

But you know what was his finest and probably the most difficult task?

It was speaking with all his children in peace!

It could be that not all his children followed in his ways ... and it could even be that he had children that were rebellious.... 

could be he had a child that refused to dress in a shtrimal and vaaseh zokin...that he chose to wear a colored shirt on Shabbos...

Yet Mordechai chose to speak  ודבר שלום לכל- זרעו

to all his children equally in peace!

And that my friends is the most difficult thing to do ......
and if one can achieve that, he has achieved the very best and finest accomplishment in life!

RT' Malkiel Koter & R Feldman Openly Defy R' Chaim Kanievsky's Ruling That One Must Vote for the WZO.... Video

When you have Litvishe Roshei Yeshivah openly defy their gadol, then what do we want from the regular Joe Shmoe?

 Rabbi Aron Feldman and Rabbi Malkiel Kotler threatened to quit the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Israel of America of which they are both members, even after  Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, the leading Posek of Lithuanian Jewry had issued a bombshell ruling.

Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky wrote Rabbi Kanievsky a two page handwritten in depth letter, presenting the question of whether one should vote in the WZO elections. Rabbi Kanievsky responded that it was 100% permitted according to Halacha, giving the strongest backing possible to Rabbi Kamenetsky and Rabbi Elya Brudny who had both ruled it was permitted before coming under attack for their opinion.

Meanwhile, a Moetzes meeting was held on the phone where the issue was discussed. Rabbi Kotler and Rabbi Feldman once again questioned Rabbi Kamenetsky who responded by reading his in depth letter and response from Rabbi Kanievsky. The meeting was immediately adjourned.

Rabbi Kamenetsky then held an hour-long phone conversation with Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, the Rosh Yeshiva of Ponevezh in Bnei Brak, who reiterated the position of Rabbi Kanievsky. He also added his own strong backing to encourage the public to vote.

New Survey Indicates that deranged Jewish Americans Will Vote For Any Democrat — Including Sanders — Over Trump

No matter who is running on the Democratic presidential ticket in 2020, he or she is likely to get the Jewish vote by a wide margin, according to a new survey.

The survey, released Friday by the Jewish Electoral Institute, found that two-thirds of clueless Jewish voters said they would choose any Democratic candidate over President Donald Trump.

The survey was conducted Feb. 18 to 24, a period that included Sanders’ announcement that he would not attend AIPAC’s annual conference next week. After the announcement, some pundits suggested that nominating Sanders would result in Jews preferring the Republican candidate for the first time in contemporary American history. (Four years ago, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton received 70% of the Jewish vote.)

But the survey found that even though Jewish voters view Sanders more unfavorably than they his Democratic rivals, they disapprove of Trump far more. While 45% of Jewish voters said they had an unfavorable view of Sanders, who has tied or won the Democratic primary’s first three nominating contests, 61% said they strongly disapprove of Trump (down from a high of 71% in the survey group’s 2018 survey) and 65% would vote for him over the president in an election.
