Hisachdus HaRabbanim Slam Boro Park Protests

The Hisachudus HaRabbanim (CRC), originally founded by the Satmar Rov (Divrei Yoel) Z"L, published a public announcement on Thursday condemning the recent protests in Boro Park in the strongest terms and calling to adhere to all health regulations, including the wearing of masks.

“The difficult situation we’re facing recently is well-known, with the coronavirus spreading and many succumbing to it,” the Rabbanim stated. “We hope to Hashem Yisbarach, the Healer of the sick, that we won’t suffer further tzaar but it is from Hashem that recently the virus has begun to spread anew. The government published strict warnings regarding several frum neighborhoods and ordered the closing of shuls and Torah institutions and the restriction or closure of businesses. We’re all dismayed to see the Kodesh being swallowed, chas v’chalilah, and our hope is firm that everything that is Kodesh will be preserved.”

“However, we were appalled to hear that on Chol Hamoed Sukkos, some frum people took action and organized large protests in the streets of the city against the authorities, with unruliness and terrible riots in the presence of the police. To our dismay, they sparked a trend throughout the world of condemning Jews as worse than non-Jews, rachmana litzlan.”

“The small nation of Yisrael is in captivity and exile among the nations and Chazal said (Midrash Rabbah, Devarim 1:19) ‘מהו פנו לכם צפונה? What does it mean – “turn to the north?”  Rav Chiya said: ‘If you see that [the Goyim] want to provoke you, don’t confront them directly but hide yourselves from them until it passes.'” [The word צפון means both north and hidden.]

Heshy Tishler Is a "Rodef" .... Rechnitz

Finally some askanim are grabbing that wild bull by his horn and calling him out ..

Here is a letter from Rechnitz to the community ... some Rabbanim have also come out against this buffoon!

I was originally hesitant to write this letter however I decided that I can’t watch what’s currently taking place in religious neighborhoods and remain silent. If for no other reason at all, I’ll be able to say ”Yadai loi shufach es hadam hazeh”.

The Coronavirus is child’s play when compared to the potential devastation that is silently growing and metastasizing by the day. This new catastrophe cannot be cured by Remdesivir or any other legend drug. Furthermore the antidote would not be social distancing as from what I understand from 70+ years ago, there was no social distancing or masks in the gas chambers! It is irrelevant that President Trump moved the American embassy to Jerusalem and helped Jews in other ways, we Yidden are putting ourselves in a bigger Makom Sakana every day. I doubt that there is even one Goy who saw or read about our current vile behavior and did not instantly forge an innate hatred for the Jews. They’re not evil, it’s called natural. Just remind yourself about some of your inner thoughts while watching the fatalities during the BLM “peaceful protests”. The Goyim don’t necessarily have to care how many Jewish mortalities there will be in a specific shul, they are rightfully viewing this as a case where the Jews are being selfish, uncaring and above the law, which is causing an uptick in cases which will ultimately reach their own neighborhoods. “The Jews simply don’t care that we’re being killed”.

This is and will remain direct causation of unadulterated anti-Semitism. To stir up anti-Semitism takes a lot less than this. We’re breaking records now. This behavior has never occurred by Jews in America. We always knew our place. Pre World War 2, a lot of people could have escaped but never imagined in their wildest dreams what awaited them. Today, due to numerous reasons the world is on edge. People lost their jobs, people can’t pay for rent or food, people got or are scared of getting the coronavirus or perhaps they lost a loved one. People are extremely upset about inequalities across the spectrum. More people are taking phsychotropic drugs today than ever before. The world situation is fluid from day to day and one little spark can C’V cause the unimaginable. It also doesnt help that the Democratic Party as we knew it, no longer exists, as it’s been taken over by politicians who are trying to outdo each other in how “progressive” they can be. The root cause of our problem, the reason we feel so infallible is undoubtedly that we forgot WE ARE IN GOLUS!  This is not our Country. We are merely guests in America, where after more than a thousand years, we finally have the zechus to live in a Country without tight Jewish ghettos.

Pay Attention To Local Elections, Because Whoever Wins Can Make Your Life Miserable

 So are you waiting for Ezra Friedlander to tell you how to vote? 

Are you waiting for the Chassidishe Rebbes and Litvishe Roshi Yeshivah to tell you how to vote? How about the Agudah?

Just that you know.....They endorsed the liars, thieves, fakers and frauds like Cuomo, Nadler, DeBlassio, Shumer, Gililibrand etc ... they encouraged you to write letters to your congressmen backing Obama's antisemitic "Iran Deal."... 

This all shows that they ... the askanim and unfortunately the Rabbanim are in it for themselves ... they are only interested how much money they can funnel to the moisdois and into their own pockets .. while selling Israel and any other Jewish causes and values to hell ....we will never forget how the Muncatcher lekked the fat tuchis and pandered to that low life Nadler ..... a "menuval" that is working tirelessly to unseat a duly elected president ... he doesn't even have time to relieve himself to go to the bathroom, instead craps in his pants on live TV...

Is this "Daas Torah?" 

Is "Daas Torah" telling you to vote against "Torah Values" like allowing six foot tall men to enter your little girl's bathroom if he decides he is a lady that morning? 

Does "Daas Torah" allow gay marriages?

 Does "Daas Torah" allow teachers in your yeshivas to teach that a guy can turn into a girl and a girl into a boy at will even if they are only children? How about "alternate lifestyles?" ... Do you want your 6 year-old with his cute curly peyas learning about this filth? Are you ready to let your cute 6 year old girl with her adorable Shirley Temple hair style absorb this 'sodom and gemmarah" education in the safety of her Bais Yaakov classroom?

Does "Daas Torah allow abortion? How about late term abortion?

Does "Daas Torah" allow a community in the diaspora living in upper New York in the "Medina shel Chessed" the USA, to antagonise their goyishe neighbors by annexing and grabbing major pieces of land? 

Does "Daas Torah" allow a Rebbe of thousands to back an  antisemitic President that secretly handed billions to the Iranians, who vowed to wipe Israel off the map? 

If your answer to all this is No.... then I have a secret for you ....

"Daas Torah" and askanim told you to vote for these perverted mamzeirim ....they voted and advocated for these laws ... 

"Daas Torah" cuddled these vile politicians giving them brachas and wished them hatzlacha! 

Guys like Ezra Friedlander and his ilk asked to you register as  democrats lying and pushing the false premise that that's the only way to get anyone elected in New York.... 

Is your bitachon and emunah non-existant that you believe this utter rubbish? 

Look what happened? These same politicians are laughing at the likes of these askanim who are cowards and money hungry selfish parasites. 

Throw out the Bums.... yes ...

Do some research before you vote ... your own research ... you don't need these unelected self appointed know-it-alls to tell you how to vote ...

They are not "Daas Torah" and don't represent "Daas Torah" ....

They misled all of you ... they don't want you to think for yourselves ...

If you are reading this post, then you are familiar with the internet and could do your own research ....

All the mainstream Rabbanim got it wrong ...All of them...

 If you want to know what "Daas Torah" says ... open a Chumash .. learn shulchan aruch... learn the Rambam ...that's why these sefarim  exist ... 

The Torah was given to all Jews .... not just to the Rabbanim that misled you, so that you can learn it by yourself, get familiar with the text... it's now translated in English ...

Askanim smiling like "chulent beans"

Americans ought to be thinking a lot harder about their local, down-ballot races. This year, more than any other in recent memory, we got a bitter taste of the power of local officials to enable, and even promote, rioting and mayhem in America.

Many of us have watched aghast as mayors of blue cities like Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and New York turned a blind eye or even encouraged mob rule that resulted in wide-scale violence, vandalism, looting, injury, and, yes, murder. They have flatly rejected all offers by President Trump to bring it under control by calling in the National Guard. Let’s not forget that these mayors — along with the many other officials close to them — were elected locally.

Recall, it’s local elected prosecutors, district attorneys, state’s attorneys, and attorneys general that have the power to allow violent criminals to roam free after an arrest. We see this happening repeatedly in Democratic Party-run cities like Seattle and Portland where Antifa thugs caught on camera assaulting officers and citizens are immediately set free without bail.

Indeed, de facto presidential candidate Kamala Harris is all in favor of such things. In addition to rejecting your right to self-defense, Democrats also reject your right to any police protection – as we’ve seen with the Minneapolis City Council’s vote to “defund” (i.e., abolish) the police.

Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat Film "Mocks the Holocaust"

The "Menuval" Sacha Cohen Making "Choizik" from the murder of 6 million Jews

Sacha Baron Cohen, the Jewish comedian whose sequel to his 2006 “Borat” film is scheduled to be released next week, has been sued by the estate of a recently deceased American Holocaust survivor interviewed for the movie, which claims the inclusion of the interview mocks the Nazi genocide and Jewish culture.

The estate of Judith Dim Evans, which filed the lawsuit this week at the Superior Court of Fulton in the US state of Georgia, is demanding that the interview be cut from the film as well as damages of less than $75,000, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday.

The report said Evans was approached to talk about the Holocaust and had believed she was taking part in a serious documentary.

The lawsuit also names Amazon Prime, the distributor of the film, and production company Oak Springs Productions as defendants. Filed by Evans’s daughter Michelle Dim St. Pierre, the executor of her estate, it alleged false light invasion of privacy, appropriation of Evans’s likeness for commercial gain, and fraud.

WH press secretary locked out of Twitter for sharing Post’s Hunter Biden story

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday was locked out of her personal Twitter account for sharing The Post’s bombshell cover story on Hunter Biden’s alleged hard drive and an email linking Joe Biden to his son’s job at a Ukrainian energy company.

“Your account has been locked,” a message from the social media network informed McEnany, whose account has more than 1 million followers.

“We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules,” the network said, highlighting her prior tweet with a link to The Post’s article.

Without providing any evidence, Twitter said McEnany — who shared a screenshot with The Post — violated “our rules against distribution of hacked material.”

McEnany told The Post she will not comply with Twitter’s request that she delete her tweet to restore access to her account.

“This is a story reported by the New York Post and Fox News with the Biden campaign notably not disputing the authenticity of the emails,” McEnany said. “I will not comply with censoring reporting that may not fit the ideology of Silicon Valley. This is abominable and not the American way.”

Cuomo Signs Executive Order To Withhold Funding from Yeshivas that Are Open In “Red Zones”

 

NY Governor Cuomo signed a new “Executive Order” to withhold funds from private schools (Yeshivas) that are open in COVID-19 “Red Zones”.

On a media conference call on Wednesday morning, Cuomo went hard on the Yeshivas and warned private school operators to not suddenly announce they’re operating as “day care centers” instead. Those have separate regulations and licensing and the state will enforce that as well.

“If schools are operating it’s easy enough to find out,” Cuomo said, citing two recent news reports about yeshivas operating despite restrictions imposed last week. “The schools that have been identified as violating the closure order, they will be served today with a notice mandating they close and we are withholding funding from those schools.”

Twitter, Facebook Looking To Influence Election by Censoring Post over Hunter Biden Exposé

 

Both Twitter and Facebook took extraordinary censorship measures against The Post on Wednesday over its exposés about Hunter Biden’s emails — and leveled baseless accusations that the reports used “hacked materials.”

The suppression effort came despite presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign merely denying that he had anything on his “official schedules” about meeting a Ukrainian energy executive in 2015 — along with zero claims that his son’s computer had been hacked.

The Post’s primary Twitter account was locked as of 2:20 p.m. Wednesday because its articles about the messages obtained from Biden’s laptop broke the social network’s rules against “distribution of hacked material,” according to an email The Post received from Twitter.

Twitter also blocked users from sharing the link to The Post article indicating that Hunter Biden introduced Joe Biden to the Ukrainian businessman, calling the link “potentially harmful.”

“In line with our Hacked Materials Policy, as well as our approach to blocking URLs, we are taking action to block any links to or images of the material in question on Twitter,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Post in a statement.

The company said it took the step because of the lack of authoritative reporting on where the materials included in The Post’s story originated.

Users who clicked the link on Twitter were shown an alert warning them that the webpage may be “unsafe” and could contain content that would break Twitter’s rules if it were shared directly on the platform.

The extraordinary move came after Facebook said it would limit the spread of The Post’s story on its own platform. The social network added that the story would be eligible for review by independent fact-checkers.

US Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) fired off a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday demanding answers about why the platform “censored” The Post’s reporting.

“The seemingly selective nature of this public intervention suggests partiality on the part of Facebook,” Hawley wrote. “And your efforts to suppress the distribution of content revealing potentially unethical activity by a candidate for president raises a number of additional questions, to which I expect responses immediately.”

Hawley later sent a similar letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, blasting the company for what he said was “an unusual intervention that is not universally applied to all content.”

The senator demanded to know how Twitter had determined that The Post’s story was violating its policy on hacked materials and why the company had taken the “unprecedented action” to lock the news org’s account.

“I ask that you immediately answer these questions and provide the necessary justifications so that your users can feel confident that you are not seeking to influence the outcome of the presidential election with your content removal decisions,” Hawley wrote.

Karlin Stolin’s Rabbi Slams Haredim Who Disobey COVID Medical Directives

 

For the second time in two days, a prominent Israeli rabbi has publicly lamented the lack of adherence to health guidelines amidst the ongoing pandemic.

As previously reported , a letter by Rabbi Asher Weiss on October 13th said that the Torah requires us to heed medical guidance to safeguard our lives, and our failure to do so has brought shame on our communities and resulted in loss of life. Further strengthening those statements were the words of the Grand Rabbi of Karlin Stolin, Rabbi Baruch Meir Yaakov Shochet, who addressed his followers in a phone call today, as reported by Kikar HaShabat (https://bit.ly/3jUut0a).

“I understand that it is difficult to be in a constant state of vigilance, but this is something we are obligated to do,” said Rabbi Shochet, who recently recovered from coronavirus. “It is G-d’s will and we should celebrate the opportunity to fulfill the mitzvah of preserving our health.”

Rabbi Shochet expressed dismay at individuals and even prominent members of the Jewish world who have been less than careful about matters of health, potentially endangering the lives of others and causing others pain and suffering.

“I am amazed that the Charedi community is showing such blatant disregard for the lives of others,” continued Rabbi Shochet. “What has happened to us? How did we get here? In the name of G-d, we cannot be lax in any way. This is not a children’s game – this is a life threatening matter of the highest importance.”

The Obama-Biden ‘Ostracize and Punish Israel’ Legacy Will Return if Democrats Win the White House in 2020

 

by Julie Strauss Levin

Joe Biden portrays himself as Israel’s ally and a friend of the Jewish people. Obama did the same when he was running for president and then he played bait and switch.  

It’s time voters wizen up because Biden vows to repeat the Obama-Biden playbook on Israel and the Middle East.  It’s even worse: today’s Democrat party leadership has taken a major turn to the left. They are no friend of the Jewish people here or in Israel.

A quick history lesson is instructive:  

In 2008, Candidate Obama pledged Israel’s security was “sacrosanct” and “non-negotiable” with “secure recognized defensible borders,” where Jerusalem would “remain” Israel’s capital and “must remain undivided.”  

Fast forward, months later in 2009, then President Obama wasted no time abandoning his empty words.  Embarking on their true agenda, Obama-Biden declared a “serious problem” existed precisely because there was no daylight between the United States and Israel.  Obama-Biden was determined to change that and, off to the races, they didn’t look back.

Obama-Biden embraced the Muslim Brotherhood, awarded millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Palestinians despite their killing Israelis and Americans, pressured Israel to release Palestinian terrorists from jail, insisted Israel suspend “settlements” in its ancestral home, calling these an “occupation,” advocated for the physical division of Jerusalem and surrendering its defensible borders. That’s just a highlight of what this writer refers to as the “Obama-Biden Ostracize and Punish Israel” campaign.

Dog Consoles Little Girl As Her Mother Screams at Her

 

A video of a pet dog appearing to prevent a little girl from being scolded by her mother has gone viral in China.

The child's mother, who filmed the scene, claimed that the five-year-old golden retriever was protecting her two-year-old daughter as she was scolding the girl.

She claimed that her daughter had grown up in Harry's company and the two had a deep bond. 

The pet, named after J.K. Rowling's fictional character Harry Potter, appeared to snarl at the parent, seemingly telling her to back off.

Harry's adorable reaction was captured by the girl's mother, Ms Sun, on Friday at their home in eastern Chinese city Xuzhou.

Ms Sun claimed that she decided to record the incident because she found it 'funny and infuriating' at the same time.  

According to the mother, she had just purchased a facial cream for her daughter and left it in the living room as she went to prepare lunch. 

After she returned, the woman was exasperated to find that You You had torn up the product packaging while playing with the tub of moisturiser.

'I was honestly really upset. I'd just bought the cream and half of it was already gone,' Ms Sun, 32, told MailOnline. 'My baby started crying because I was shouting at her quite aggressively.'

But the parent claimed her anger melted away when she saw Harry defending her daughter.

Footage shows the furry guardian standing in front of the crying toddler while baring his teeth at the mother, seemingly warning her to stop.

The pet even became more defensive as the mother told him to move out of the way.

'You, get up. Stop protecting [her],' Ms Sun can be heard saying in the video.

Harry also appeared trying to comfort You You by wrapping his leg around the little girl and resting his head on her shoulder.

Amused by the dog's reaction, the mother calmed down and stopped the scolding.

'I was still upset but I thought it was also quite funny.' Ms Sun said. 'It was very heart-warming. Dogs would find ways to express their love if you treat them properly.'

Apparently, this is not the first time Harry has defended his little pet owner.

'Whenever we speak to [You You] in a harsh tone, he would come over and try to shield her with his paws,' the mother added. 

'He would protect the child with his life.'

The footage of Harry quickly became viral and amassed millions of 'likes' after Ms Sun shared it on Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok.

The parent said she was surprised and overwhelmed by the attention her video had attracted.

WHO warns that pursuing herd immunity against Covid-19 may not even be possible

 The head of the WHO has warned against pursuing herd immunity as a strategy to stop the pandemic, describing the idea as 'simply unethical.'

The idea that letting the virus circulate will eventually reap benefits has been touted by those opposed to lockdowns, but Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said 'herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from a virus, not by exposing them to it'. 

'Never in the history of public health has herd immunity been used as a strategy for responding to an outbreak,' Tedros said. 

He added that some diseases such as measles need as many as 95 per cent of people to be protected for herd immunity to develop, whereas the WHO estimates that less than 10 per cent of the world's population has any immunity to Covid-19. 

However, the WHO has also voiced scepticism over blanket lockdowns, calling for a 'middle way' between lockdown and the unrestricted spread of the disease.

Bizarre Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono asks Judge Barrett if she has ever sexually assaulted someone

Crazed DemocRATS have gone off the deep end... 

 Amy Coney Barrett has been asked in her Supreme Court nomination hearing whether she has ever sexually assaulted anyone. 

The Senate Judiciary Committee held its second day of hearings for the 48-year-old federal judge on Tuesday.

Hirono quoted Chief Justice John Roberts, who in 2017 acknowledged that the judiciary 'is not immune' from the problem of sexual misconduct. 

She then asked: 'Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors, or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?'

Barrett replied: 'No, Senator Hirono.'

Hirono asked: 'Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?'cBarrett replied: 'No, Senator.' 

Hirono's line of questioning drew parallels with the hearing for the most recently appointed Supreme Court judge, Brett Kavanaugh.Kavanaugh was nominated in July 2018, and his hearing was dominated by questions over sexual assault allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford.

Hirono asked Kavanaugh: 'Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature? Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?' 

Some saw Hirono's line of questioning as amounting to a 'perjury trap' - the idea that, if it later emerges that sexual assault was committed, the nominee would have committed perjury.

Randall Eliason, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches at the George Washington University's School of Law, told NPR in 2018 that the term 'perjury trap' was related to entrapment. 

'So what it means is that the prosecutor calls you in to testify not because they've got some legitimate investigative reason to have you testify, but simply to try to sort of trick you or trap you into some kind of a lie that they could then charge you with,' he said in 2018, discussing Donald Trump's fear that speaking to Robert Mueller was a perjury trap.  

Kavanaugh, to the Democrats' fury, was approved in October 2018.

Others objected strongly to Hirono's question. 'Are they really going here???' asked Dinesh D'Souza, prominent pro-Trump commentator and filmmaker.

One said that the sexual assault question 'proves how vile the left is'. Another remarked: 'I was convinced nobody would bomb worse than @SenWhitehouse, then @SenBlumenthal attempted to out-do him. 

'But what I didn't realize was that @MazieHirono was waiting in the wings, ready to accuse ACB of sexual assault. A true hold-my-beer moment in the history of hearings.'

Some found the whole furore bizarre, though. 'Genuine question: Why are people so outraged by the sexual assault question asked by Hirono at the ACB hearing?' one Twitter user asked. 

Barrett, a deeply religious Catholic and mother of seven, has alarmed Democrats by her strident pro-life position.

They suspect that she will vote to repeal Roe v Wade, overturning the law that mandated abortion access across the United States.

They are also concerned that she will work to repeal Obamacare, taking the health coverage away from millions.
