Burial Site of Esther and Mordechai Set Ablaze in Iran

National Director of Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Jonathan Greenblatt announced Friday on Twitter that the tomb of Esther and Mordechai in Iran was torched.

"Disturbing reports from Iran that the tomb of Esther & Mordechai, a holy Jewish site, was set afire overnight. We hope that the authorities bring the perpetrators of this antisemitic act to justice & commit to protecting the holy sites of all religious minorities in Iran,” Greenblatt tweeted.

The Jerusalem Post is seeking to obtain the reports cited by Greenblatt in his tweet. Greenblatt has termed Iran's regime the top state-sponsor of antisemitism and Holocaust denial.

Prior to the arson of the tomb, one Twitter user named Mohammad Mahdi Akhyar threatened to destroy the holy site on May 14 in response to a tweet by the Israel's Foreign Affairs' Farsi Twitter page.

Chinese ambassador to Israel found dead in Hertzliya home

The Chinese Ambassador to Israel Du Wei was found dead in his Herzliya home on Sunday morning, a Foreign Affairs Ministry official confirmed. Police are currently in his home and investigating.

The Chinese embassy, however, said that it cannot confirm the reports as of yet.

The 58-year-old ambassador was a husband and father to a boy. His family are not in the country with him. He arrived in Israel to hold the position of ambassador in January. He had served as Chinese ambassador to Ukraine before that.

He had written an article for The Jerusalem Post a few days prior to his death about the resilience of the Chinese and Israeli people alike.

In Secret Operation, 26 Out Of 36 Israelis Rescued From Morocco After 10 Died Of COVID-19

It's a good thing they didn't wait for the Satmar Chesed organizations to help them, they would be waiting till the cows came home..

The Zionists have shown again and again what a Jewish life means to them ....

Twenty-six Israelis who have been stuck in Morocco due to coronavirus travel restrictions since March were repatriated to Israel in a complex rescue operation, landing in Israel on Thursday morning.

Sadly, the group originally included 36 Israelis but 10 died while still in Morocco from the coronavirus.

Some of the Israelis were in Morocco on business and others were tourists but all got stuck in Morocco when the government put a total lockdown on the country as soon as the coronavirus pandemic began, halting flights and forbidding travel from city to city.

The Israelis were put up in hotels in Casablanca and Marrakesh at the expense of the Morrocan government but of course, what they really wanted was to fly home, a seemingly impossible prospect not only due to the coronavirus restrictions but also by the fact that Morocco doesn’t maintain diplomatic relations with Israel.

Israeli Disinfectant Kills 100% of Viruses, ...Currently Being Used in Mikvehs in Bnei Brak.

A state-of-the-art disinfectant developed by the Israel Institute for Biological Research and distributed by Tera Novel is capable of killing 100% of bacteria, viruses, molds and some fungi, including the novel coronavirus.

“Our disinfectant works in a very different way from many others,” Tera Novel chairwoman Karen Cohen Khazon told The Jerusalem Post. “We also use hypochlorite, but in a very high [concentration] and we add some [additional ingredients] so that anywhere the disinfectant is sprayed, it becomes a very white film of gel which keeps the [material] on the surface for a while.”

To clean it off, she explained, you simply need to rinse it off with water or clean it off with a towel or paper towel.

Hazon explained that the disinfectant works well on walls, ceilings, floors, toilets, restrooms, spas, airport bathrooms, and now, mikvaot (ritual baths).

The company began a test run in Bnei Brak as part of the effort to slowly ease the coronavirus restrictions in the region by using the disinfectant in mikvaot in the ultra-Orthodox city. The pilot is seemingly a success, as the town plans on reopening mikvaot in the coming days.

Leaked Data .... China Has 640,000 Coronavirus Cases, Not 80,000

A leaked database from a Chinese military-run university suggests the country may have at least 640,000 COVID-19 cases — a figure substantially higher than Beijing’s dubious claim that it has seen just 80,000 coronavirus infections.

The virus tracker, compiled by China’s National University of Defense Technology and leaked to Foreign Policy magazine, appears to confirm fears that the nation’s Communist government is hiding the true nature of the outbreak that originated in Wuhan late last year.

According to the report, the virus tracker consists of more than 640,000 rows of cases in 230 cities ranging from early February to late April and confirms the location of each infection.

The data includes locations for hospitals, train stations, hotels, restaurants and schools and was compiled by a professor at the university that is run by China’s Central Military Commission, the report said.

China’s ruling Communist Party, which has blocked US scientists from coming to the country to study the virus, claims it has seen only 4,633 deaths and 82,929 cases as of Thursday.

These figures are considered highly untrustworthy by the international community, with the US now at 85,601 deaths and 1.4 million confirmed cases.

Suspicions that China was hiding the true scale of the outbreak were only furthered when state media last week suddenly increased the coronavirus death toll in the city of Wuhan by 50 percent.

US intelligence agencies have informed the White House that they believe China undercounted its number of infections and deaths, hindering modeling efforts and leading to calls from the international community for a probe into the origins of the outbreak in December.

Satmar Rebbe Attacks His Own Brother-In-Law The Vizhnitzer For Netanyahu Meeting: ‘How Low Can They Stoop’

The Satmar Rebbe, Rav Aharon, sharply criticized his brother-in-law the Vizhnitzer Rebbe for meeting with Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu in the prime minister’s residence. 

Rav Aharon spoke at a special Le’Chaim tish for a small number of his associates marking the Yahrzeit of rabbi Nachum of Chernobyl, one of the early Chassidic rebbes and a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov.

Rav Aharon spoke with great anguish and said:

”After months of isolation far away from the chasidim, with no public prayers, no tish, no reception of chasidim for private meetings, no sandek (holding the baby at a circumcision) honors, all due to the fear of not being in the same house with a person sick with coronavirus and being infected, after all this he went to the house of the head of the unbelievers, the person who spreads the belief in “our might and power”, the person who has no derech eretz (courtesy) and no respect for G-d? Wasn’t he afraid to sit in his house together with him where he could be infected with spiritual diseases?”

Rav Aharon added:

 “I don’t understand him. Today is the yahrzeit of our grandfather, the Magid of Chernobyl. It is well known that ‘cherna’ means black in Russian and ‘bila’ means white. One should know how to distinguish between black and white and it is forbidden to mix between them.”

DIN: 👀 "black & white????" ‘cherna’ means black in Russian and ‘bila’ means white????" .....What?????? well ok ....

The chasidim related that the rebbe was very disturbed after hearing about the meeting last night and kept saying

 “how low can they stoop, those who go to elections and participate in the government.”

Vizhnitz chasidim responded on the Bechadrei Chareidim site, stating that: 

“The Satmar rebbe must not know his brother-in-law properly, the rebbe would be willing to pay him the airfare and give him his Beis Midrash so that he can protest against him. Our rebbe is performing his method of Avodas Hashem (service of G-d) and he does not care for his honor the slightest bit, nor is he concerned what people will say.”

Alarming video shows how quickly coronavirus can spread at a restaurant

An alarming video from Japan that used a black light demonstrates how quickly the coronavirus can spread aboard a cruise ship or in a restaurant when just one person is infected.

In an experiment conducted by public broadcaster NHK in collaboration with infectious disease experts, 10 people were asked to serve themselves as usual at a buffet, according to Forbes.

Invisible fluorescent paint — visible only under a black light — was applied to the palm of one of the subjects, who was tapped as the “infected” person and coughed into his hand. The paint represented the deadly pathogen.

All the participants were allowed to enjoy the buffet for half an hour.

The diners are seen touching various utensils to grab food as they interact with each other and the “sick” individual in their midst.

At the end of the feasting, the room goes dark and ultraviolet light is emitted to show how the invisible paint spread almost everywhere, including silverware, dishes, glassware, clothes and cellphones.

Top "Menuvel" Howard Stern Tells Pres Trump and his Supporters to "Drop Dead"

SHOCK Jock Howard Stern, has been slammed after outrageously suggesting President Trump and his supporters should drink disinfectant and "drop dead".

The 66-year-old radio personality made the controversial comments on his show for Sirius XM, with one listener asking him to drop the politics.

Speaking on his show Monday, Stern raged over the President's comments about disinfectant during a coronavirus press briefing last week.

He said: "I would love it if Donald would get on TV and take an injection of Clorox and let’s see if his theory works.

“Hold a big rally, say f**** this coronavirus, with all of his followers, and let them hug each other and kiss each other and have a big rally.”

At the suggestion of sidekick, Robin Quivers, that the rally include "a big cocktail of disinfectant" Stern agreed.

He said: "Yeah...And all take disinfectant and all drop dead.”

'DROP DEAD'

At a press briefing last week, Trump sarcastically said:

 "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute."

"I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen," he said.

'DROP THE POLITICS'

However, taking to the airwaves, Stern blasted the comments, with social media users flocking to slam Stern's harsh words.

One user wrote: "No one cares what he thinks. Hasn't been relevant for years now."

Another added: "You haven't been funny in two f****** decades."

One listener tweeted to XM: "[Stern's political commentary among others is why I stopped listening to the show.

"It’s a shame. It brought me and my friends a lot of laughter and joy. I stopped listening the day he said anyone that voted for trump was a moron."

This disappointment was echoed in the show, after a caller asked the pair to drop the political comments.

Listeners said they don't tune in to hear Stern's political commentary.

However, Stern hit back: “I don’t recognize any of this as being Republican, I don’t recognize it as being anything political. I see it as insanity.

“I don’t know what is going on there, but I don’t have a good feeling.”

Crazy CNN Adds Greta Thunberg to "Expert Coronavirus Panel"

An upcoming CNN town hall on the coronavirus pandemic will feature the clueless17-year-old Greta Thunberg alongside a panel of medical experts .

The program, “Coronavirus Facts and Fears,” also includes CNN broadcaster Sanjay Gupta, 50, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 71 and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Richard Besser, 60. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, 52, will host alongside Gupta.

However, social media watchdogs are foaming at the mouth over the choice to place a teen climate activist on a panel with public health experts.

“What place does Greta Thunberg have in this town hall?” asks Twitter rabble rouser Yashar Ali to his 618,000 followers. His rhetorical question was liked by more than 12,000 since this morning.

Her name is a top trending term on Twitter, with some 30,000 mentions on the platform in just a few hours.

In a follow-up tweet, Ali clarified his rhetorical tweet with an explanation: “I understand that but this is a panel of top health experts and administrators. A climate activist would be better suited on a different panel. She’s not a climate scientist. It’s a matter of placement.”

CNN’s social media was soon served with an onslaught of virtual eye-rolls.

“Greta Thunberg? Now, she’s a COVID expert? @CNN is a joke!” reads a top response to the network’s Wednesday announcement.

“Not picking on the kid,” said another. “Picking on a ‘news’ network for featuring a child to inform the public.”

“I remember when my thread about E. coli in Romaine lettuce went viral and trended on Twitter only to have CNN put Food Babe on the air to discuss the issue,” tweeted Dr. Eugene Gu, referring to another controversial health “expert” in the media. “Greta Thunberg on this panel is an improvement from that at least.”

Vizhnitzer Rebbe Visits Netanyahu

In a rare occurrence, the Vizhnitzer Rebbe held a personal and historic meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at his Balfour Street Residence in Yerushalayim. 

According to reports by Kol Baramah reporter Yisroel Cohen, the purpose of the meeting was to gain assurance from Netanyahu that the status quo with regards to religious issues and the Conscription law will stay the same, ahead of the signing of the coalition agreement between the Likud and the UTJ.

During the meeting, which was held in utmost secrecy, the Rebbe came all the way from Hazor Hagalilit to hold the meeting in person. The meeting lasted for 45 minutes.

BChadrei Charedim reported that the Rebbe praised Netanyahu for his handling of the Coronavirus crisis.

 “This is nothing short of miracles from heaven.” The pair then spoke for a short time about Netanyahu’s family history and the Prime Minister told the Rebbe how his grandparents had come from Volozhin. After this, the pair sat and spoke in private.

What occurred in that meeting is unknown to even the closest aides of both sides. The Rebbe did say before he went into the private meeting: “I come as a messenger on behalf of the nation of Israel.”

Rumors in the Israeli press is that the Vizhnitzer Rebbe asked Netanyahu not to send back the serial sexual pervert Malka Leifer to Australia to face her accusers!

Doctor in Dallas Texas Says That the US Health Department Is Lying About Covid-19

Rabbi Yisrael Knopfler charged with resisting arrest, obstructing the law and violating order banning gatherings

An Orthodox rabbi in Lakewood, New Jersey, who is suing his state’s governor over restrictions on gatherings was arrested late Monday night for holding one.

Rabbi Yisrael Knopfler was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing the law and violating the New Jersey governor’s executive order banning gatherings, according to the Asbury Park Press.

The arrest came after police broke up an event that Knopfler organized on Lag B’Omer, a minor holiday commemorating the end of a historic plague. 

Public celebrations, which typically include bonfires and concerts, were prohibited this year because of the current plague. But some people, frustrated by restrictions aimed at preventing the spread of disease, went ahead with gatherings nonetheless.

A video of Knopfler’s arrest was posted on FAA, a whistleblower Facebook page that focuses on the Orthodox community. It shows the police arresting the rabbi while a crowd shouts at the police, calling them “Nazis,” “Gestapo” and “anti-Semites.”

Last week, Knopfler joined another New Jersey clergy member, a Christian reverend, in a lawsuit challenging Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order barring gatherings of any size. 

If some essential businesses can stay open with adjustments, the lawsuit argues, houses of worship should be allowed to do the same. 

That lawsuit includes an account of an April gathering at Knopfler’s synagogue that was dispersed by police, according to the Asbury Park Press.

Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Yoel Says that There Was Never a Minhag of Lighting Bon-fires on Lag Be'omer "

We are old enough to remember when R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of KJ made a 20 minute speech making "choizik" of the bon-fire minhag ..... and calling those Rabbonim who light the "hadlaka" ... the "yetzer harah" ...!
He says in the video above ..just because "the guy lighting the fire wears a gartel that doesn't make him holy, he is the "yetzer hara"..

Mocking the Lag Be'omer ceremonies he continues .."even if the fire is one story tall , or even two stories or even if it reaches the heavens, this is not a custom that we ever saw by our parents, grandparents.... or great great grandparents"
"soon they will come out with sefarim instructing us how big the hadlaka has to be, what material must be gotten to make the fire etc etc"

So what changed? 
 The holy rebbe himself has made hadlakas the last few years?
What changed????

Ha ha ...lol .... he he ... ha ha .... 
wait I'm laughing so hard I can't catch my breath ... 
Water .... bring water ........ please ...some water ....
oh ok ....thanks ...
This is too funny for words....

What happened was .... 
since there wasn't any official bon fires on Lag Be'omer, Satmar boys who needed some outlet  and wanted to have some fun ... booked tickets to Israel by the thousands .....

One nice morning on a bright sunny day in Kiryas Yoel, the rebbe came into shul to daven shachris on Lag Be'omer and found the shul deserted....he ran to the mikvah to check if maybe they found a dead body there and that's why no one was in shul...but the mikvah was deserted and so was the kaveh room..

The holy rebbe went into conniptions, became very angry and decided that he will have to make a HUGE 3 STORY bon fire to keep the sheep in town and prevent them from running to the Zionists ...
So now the very same rebbe that made choizek of the "rebbe with the gartel" and who called that rebbe the  "yetzer hara" ....... 
now  dons a 1 foot wide gartel and makes the hadlaka with no apologies!

 That's how the Lag Be'Omer bon fires started in Satmar ....
By the way this is exactly what happened in New Square as well ..
the rebbe had refused to celebrate Lag Be'omer with the traditional hadlaka... so his chassidim flocked to Israel by the thousands and left the rebbe with a couple of alte kockers who didn't want to make the trip ... and so he too started the new minhag ...

Young Israel of Deerfield Park Florida Posts Letter to the "Alteh Kockers" who Make Minyanim in their Homes

The guys living in Deerfield Park are by in large "alteh kockers." This is a retirement community for 55 and over... 

Statistics show that the majority of the people that contract the virus and die, are those over the age of 60....

Statistics also show that the virus hit the heimishe community the hardest...

You would think they would stay the hell home..... no they know better ...... they are smarter than statistics ..... 

I don't know if that letter above going viral on social media, is real could be its a forgery... I don't know..

but what is real is that alteh kockers gathered in Upminister J in Deerfield Park to make a minyan after being told not to....

How old do you have to be not to give a damn about anything?

I wonder because I'm an "alteh kocker" myself!
