Why American Jews Love Stella D’Oro Cookies

 

Spoiler: the Swiss Fudge cookies resemble shtreimel hats.

As a child, visits to my maternal grandfather and grandmother (of Italian and Polish heritage, respectively) involved eating a lot pasta and pierogi. Dessert, in turn, was sometimes cannoli and poppyseed roll, but often a platter of Stella D’Oro cookies — assorted dainty corrugated rings and logs of buttery dough with almond undertones. My grandfather had developed a taste for them early in his youth as an immigrant from Genoa, and my grandparents’ pantry was never without at least one package. Truth be told, my juvenile palate found the cookies too bland (re: insufficiently sugary), but they held a special place in my heart because they were a favorite of my beloved sometimes salty, comparatively sweeter Pop-Pop. 

Up until my second year in college, I associated Stella D’Oro (Italian for “Star of Gold”) exclusively with Italian-American culture. While “grocery” shopping in the 7-Eleven near our dorm (hey, we didn’t have cars, OK?) with a friend who also happened to be Jewish, I came upon a package and remarked upon my personal nostalgic ties. “Stella D’Oro?” he replied with a puzzled grin. “That’s a Jewish thing.”

Unbelievable....Biden Taps Ex-Colleague Of Hunter Biden’s Lawyer To Run DOJ Criminal Division....

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, hired a new criminal defense attorney late last year to defend him in the federal government’s criminal investigation into his business dealings. 

Then, on the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, Joe Biden tapped a close colleague of Hunter Biden’s new lawyer to oversee that Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, which is reportedly investigating Hunter Biden.

The news, first reported late last week by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, comes after Hunter Biden admitted late last year that he was under federal criminal investigation over his taxes, although subsequent reporting indicated that the investigation was also into foreign business dealings.

“In one of his very first acts as president, Joe Biden appointed someone called Nicholas McQuaid to run the DOJ’s Criminal Division, the all-important Criminal Division. Turns out that’s the same Criminal Division that’s currently investigating Biden’s son, Hunter. So, who is this Nicholas McQuaid exactly? Well, this show can tell you that he is a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s new criminal defense attorney, a man called Christopher Clark,” Carlson reported last week. “Hunter Biden apparently hired Clark in December to help him with a federal investigation into his business dealings, the criminal investigation that the DOJ is conducting. ”

“Both McQuaid and Clark were law partners together at Latham and Watkins, they worked on the same cases right up until McQuaid took the job at the Department of Justice,” Carlson added. “On January 21st of this year, the same day, Nicholas McQuaid was featured in a Justice Department press release, Latham and Watkins filed a motion in court to withdraw McQuade as an attorney he was working on with Christopher Clark. So that means Joe Biden put as the head of the Criminal Division, the partner of the guy his son had hired to defend him against the Criminal Division.”

Snow Shoveling Dispute Leaves Three Dead

 

A 47-year-old Pennsylvania man shot a neighboring couple dead in the street before taking his own life during a snow shoveling dispute Monday morning, The Citizens' Voice reports.

James Goy, 50, and his wife Lisa Goy, 48, were shoveling snow outside their Bergh Street home in Plains Township when neighbor Jeffrey Spaide came out with a pistol and opened fire around 9:20 a.m., police told the news outlet.

Spaide then went back inside his house and got an AR-15-style rifle to shoot the pair again, police said.

Responding police heard another gunshot, which turned out to be the sound of Spaide taking his own life, authorities said. He was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot, police said.

“Apparently there’s been an ongoing dispute between neighbors, some of which involved a dispute about snow disposal and removal,” Luzerne County First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said told the Citizen's Voice. 

"They’re across the street from each other, and when they would remove snow they would throw it across the street at the other person’s property.”

The Goys' 15-year-old son was home at the time of the shooting,police said. He was being cared for by his grandparents.

Spaide lived alone, and no other individuals were being sought in the shooting, authorities said.

Psaki Mocks "Space Force" Which Was Enacted To Counter China & Russia Domination in Space , refuses to apologize

Also Jen Psaki: "Wow, Space Force-- it's the plane of today." pic.twitter.com/hiadBB7ydz

— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) February 3, 2021

Ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee has called on the White House Press Secretary to "immediately apologize" for her response to a Space Force question during a Tuesday press briefing.

Alabama Republican Rep. Mike Rogers took offense to Jen Psaki’s answer in jest to a question about the future of Space Force under the Biden administration.

"Wow. Space Force. It’s the plane of today," Psaki said, appearing to compare the question to one posed by a reporter two weeks ago, asking about Air Force One’s color scheme.

"It is an interesting question," she said after the reporter pushed back on the validity of the question. "I am happy to check with our Space Force point of contact. I’m not sure who that is. I will find out and see if we have any update on that."

Space Force was enacted by Congress in December 2019 as an extension of the U.S. military and aims to protect U.S. special interests in space capabilities.

"It’s concerning to see the Biden administration’s press secretary blatantly diminish an entire branch of our military as the punchline of a joke, which I’m sure China would find funny," Rogers said in a statement.

"The Space Force was passed with near unanimous support in Congress, the same type of ‘unity’ President Biden is supposedly working towards," he added. "Jen Psaki needs to immediately apologize to the men and women of the Space Force for this disgraceful comment."

Biden has not publically commented on the newest military force that was formed during the Trump administration. But several lawmakers see Space Force as a continuation of the U.S.’s efforts to combat China’s growing presence.

"While the Biden Administration continues to think about whether or not the [Chinese Communist Party] is a threat, China is working overtime to become the dominant force in space," Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., one of the founding members of the House Space Force Caucus, said Tuesday.

Biden Hasn't called Netanyahu yet

 White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday downplayed the fact that US President Joe Biden has not yet called Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu since taking office.

Asked during her press briefing whether the fact that Biden has not yet called Netanyahu is surprising, she replied, “I don't know that it's surprising less than two weeks into an administration. He hasn't called every foreign leader yet.”

Psaki continued, “He certainly would love to spend more time talking to foreign leaders. His first love is foreign policy. But I expect he'll continue to have additional engagements in the weeks ahead. And, obviously, we have a long and abiding relationship with Israel, important security relationship. I'm sure they'll discuss that and a range of issues when they do connect.”

Her comments follow reports that the Biden administration is beginning to renew ties with the Palestinian Authority that have been frozen since 2017.

Barak Ravid of Axios reported on Monday that the State Department's deputy assistant secretary for Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Hady Amr, spoke by phone with multiple PA officials on Monday, in the first publicly announced interactions between the sides.

The PA had been boycotting the US since 2017, when then-President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and announced that the US embassy will be relocated there.

The Biden administration is planning to roll back many of Trump’s policies related to Israel and the PA, noted Ravid in his report.

When Netanyahu and Biden do speak, it is more than likely that the issue of Iran’s nuclear program will come up.

While Trump withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement nearly three years ago and proceeded to reimpose crippling sanctions on the Islamic Republic, Biden has expressed a desire to return to the deal.

Netanyahu is opposed to the original agreement, but Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Gilad Erdan, recently said he does not anticipate a crisis with the new Biden administration over the differences of opinion on the Iran deal.

Frum Minister Yankelevitch Will Not Run in Upcoming Elections Says "Blue and White becoming anti-haredi, anti-settler"

 

Diaspora Affairs Minister Omer Yankelevitch announced on Tuesday that she will not be part of the Blue and White slate in the upcoming elections.

Kan 11 News reported that in a conversation with her associates, Yankelevitch explained, "I cannot continue in this party. It is going in an anti-haredi and anti-settler direction."

Among other things, Yankelevitch was furious about the decision of Defense Minister Benny Gantz to stop the government's decision to normalize young communities in Judea and Samaria.

Meanwhile, Blue and White is preparing for an independent run in the elections, without alliances with other parties.

Gantz declared on Monday that he has no intention of dropping out of the elections for the Knesset, despite the facts that polls project Blue and White to win a very low number of seats, if it even passes the electoral threshold.

With the deadline for submitting Knesset slates looming on Thursday, Gantz was busy on Tuesday evening putting the slate together.

Rabbi Mordechai Rindenow 64 Dies Of COVID-19 And Is Buried Next To IDF Soldier Son

 

Rabbi Dr. Mordechai Rindenow, who lost his youngest son Shlomo in an IDF military accident four years ago, passed away from coronavirus at the age of 64 just four months after immigrating to Israel. At his request he was buried next to his son.

Rindenow, a father of nine from Passaic, New Jersey, had lived in Israel in the past but settled in Passaic in 1998 and served as a communal rabbi and also worked as a psychotherapist. He was a member of the staff of the Passaic Torah Institute, and the rabbi of the Carlebach minyan. Rabbi Rindenow and his wife, Mindy, come from a long line of Chassidic rebbes, including the Chernobyl Rebbe and the Twersky family, and the family is famous for its acts of chessed and warm approach to all Jews.

Many of his children subsequently immigrated to Israel and recently Rindenow and his wife decided to move to Tzfat, where he fell ill with coronavirus and died a short time later.

“He was a father to us but also a father to everyone”, his daughter Beila Clement who arrived from the US, said. “He would help everyone. Anybody who needed a place to sleep would sleep in our house.

“After my brother was killed something changed in him. You could see the pain on his face. He was only happy with the children and grandchildren. A wonderful grandfather who would get up on Shabbos late in order not to disturb us. He was very excited to make aliya because he was very pro-Israel,” she added.

Shlomo Rindenow was killed in 2016 when a grenade held by another soldier exploded and killed both of them while they were serving in the 410 combat engineering brigade.

A Year Of Loss: Orthodox Jewry Reels As Gedoilim Die During Covid-19 Pandemic

 

Funeral of Rav Soloveitchik

Three times on Sunday, Orthodox men carried the body of a beloved Torah scholar wrapped in a black and white prayer shawl through the streets of Jerusalem to a freshly dug grave.

First there was Rabbi Dovid Soloveitchik, the 99-year-old heir to a vaunted tradition of Talmud study. A few hours later it was Rabbi Yitzchok Sheiner, the 98-year-old leader of a prominent yeshiva. And in the evening they took Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski, a psychiatrist and scion of multiple Hasidic dynasties, to his final resting place near Beit Shemesh.

By nightfall, the Orthodox world could count three fewer rabbinic scholars than when the day began. All died of COVID-19, the disease that has killed well over 2.3 million people around the world, including more than 400,000 in the United States and nearly 5,000 in Israel. In Israel, 1 in 132 haredi Orthodox Jews over 65 had died of COVID-19 by the end of 2020.

The weekend’s losses were relentless in their pace, but they reflected a cruel fact of life in the Orthodox world over the past year. A long list of Orthodox rabbinic leaders have died, leaving communities reeling from their losses and at times wondering who will emerge to fill their shoes. The deaths from COVID — and from other causes during a pandemic that curtailed the mourning rituals that usually follow the deaths of major rabbis — spanned the range of the Orthodox community, from Modern Orthodox to Lithuanian, or non-Hasidic haredi, to Hasidic.

Nearly Two-Thirds Of Chareidi Jews In UK Had COVID........HIGHEST IN THE WORLD:

 A study published on Tuesday shows that nearly two-thirds of the Chareidi population in London have coronavirus antibodies, one of the highest recorded rates in a community in the world.

The study, performed by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), showed that 64% of Chareidi Jews have virus antibodies, which includes 28% of children under the age of five and over half of school-age children.

The number is staggering compared to the 11% infection rate in the general population in London and just 7% across the UK.

“Estimates are amongst the highest sero-prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 described anywhere in the world to date,” the researchers stated.

According to the study, the main source of infection among Chareidi Jews in London was at Purim gatherings during the first wave and morbidity sharply decreased after a lockdown was imposed in the city.

The researchers noted that it cannot be assumed that the community has herd immunity despite its high infection rate and health regulations must still be strictly maintained.

Jewish Man Leaves $2.4 Million To French Village Who Hid His Family From Nazis

 

Nazi soldiers march through Paris, France, October 24, 1940

A Jewish man who fled Nazi-occupied Austria with his family during the Holocaust bequeathed a large part of his personal fortune to the French village whose residents saved his family members from the Nazis along with thousands of other Jews.

Eric Schwam, who passed away at the age of 90 in late December, instructed in his will to give about $2.4 million to the remote mountain village of Chambon-sur-Lignon in southeast France. Schwam did not leave behind any children and the sum was a large part of his fortune.

“It’s a large amount for the village,” Mayor Jean-Michel Eyraud told AFP.

Schwam and his extended family arrived in Chambon-sur-Lignon in 1943 and were hidden by the villagers, along with between 3,000 to 5,000 other Jews. Village residents were later recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations” by Yad Vashem in Israel, one of only two locales collectively honored by Yad Hashem. (The other is Nieuwlande, in the Netherlands.)

The village residents, who have been primarily Huguenot or Protestant since the 17th century, had a history of sheltering those in need even before the Holocaust, including sheltering priests fleeing the French Revolution and Spanish Civil War refugees.

12 Year Old Jewish Boy that Believes He is a Girl .. Designs "non-binary" Bikini Bottoms

I know I know you didn't read the article yet... I have a word of advice before you do... Get a barf bag!

Did I read that this was a 12 year old? A 12 year old little "shtinker" is now designing bottoms that conceals the fact that the wearer is really a boy and made specifically to fool naive innocent girls into thinking that he is a girl ...What's even more bizarre  is that his father is crazier and more dangerous than him...The father relates in this article that the boy was thinking about this for 6 years ...? So when this kid was 6 instead of concentrating just being a kid he was consumed with having Purim all year round to fool his playmates..What a "sneak"

And believe it or not there is actually an altruistic side to this .....the father that should really be locked for child abuse says:

"All proceeds from sales of RUBIES t-shirts go to the goal of sending 1,000 pairs of bikini bottoms to trans girls from families in need."

Here I copied a comment from a reader on the original post that basically sums up these meshigina parents..

 Davenport Grolsch

This is one of the many reasons I could never again live in Toronto. To assume that a fifth grader could have a clue about sexual identity, and moreover have the sanction of her family to play games of permanence like this is still amazing to me. And then to describe the feeling of being in the wrong gender as, quote, "When I was little I would wear my mom’s high heels. I played with Bratz dolls and was obsessed with princesses." So what? Lots of boys play with dolls and princesses, why assume this means the poor boy was born into the wronig gender? My little girl likes trucks and buses, should I take her to the doctor to inject her with hormones? I just cannot believe how we have abandoned these children like this, in some arbitrary ad hoc aim for "self-affirmation." These are children, for god's sake. We are experimenting with them. The poor boy will wake up in a few years-- maybe as a healthy gay man, maybe not-- and hopefully it will not be too late. We will never be forgiven.

After 440,000 Americans are Dead – Facebook and American Journal of Medicine Admit Their Stand on HCQ was Wrong

 

A new study posted in the American Journal of Medicine in January found that early treatment of coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine lowered the mortality rate for the disease.

The study found that immediate use of HCQ, while the patient was still at home, showed significant benefits.

This is just the latest study that shows the effectiveness of HCQ in treating the coronavirus.

For the past several months the website c19study.com has been tracking the HCQ-coronavirus studies.

According to c19study.com there have been 237 studies, 171 of which were peer reviewed that show 67% of patients improved in early treatment trials.

Also today the Facebook Oversight Board announced it was overturning a previous case on the effectiveness of HCQ.

Facebook’s previously removed a post on the use of hydroxychloroquine in France which it claimed, “contributes to the risk of imminent… physical harm.”

Today Facebook announced this was a mistake.

How many hundreds of thousands of victims were killed due to Dr. Fauci, the CDC and the tech giants’ false claims on hydroxychloroquine?

The jihad against HCQ was to get back at Trump. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead today!

When will these people face justice?

Need for haredi communal life outweighs virus risks ....There should be no reasonable expectation that this will change.

 By JEREMY SHARON  

On Sunday, two of the most senior and revered rabbis in the ultra-Orthodox world died following complications they suffered from COVID-19.

Rabbi Meshulam David Soloveitchik, 99, a scion of the famed Soloveitchik family and rabbinic dynasty and dean of the Brisk Yeshiva in Jerusalem died Sunday morning after a series of medical problems including being diagnosed with the coronavirus three months ago. 

Both funerals were attended by thousands of ultra-Orthodox men despite the ban on outdoor gatherings of more than 10 people.

Rabbis Soloveitchik and Scheiner join a long list of other prominent ultra-Orthodox rabbis to have died from COVID-19 in Israel and the US, as well as numerous other senior ultra-Orthodox rabbis and educators, including the grand rabbi of Kozlover hassidim, the grand rabbi of Amshinov hassidim in Borough Park, New York, the grand rabbi of Stanislaver hassidim, the grand rabbi of Novominsk hassidim, and the grand rabbi of Pittsburgher hassidim.

In October last year, the most senior Ashkenazi, non-hassidic ultra-Orthodox leader in the world Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, 93, contracted COVID-19 as well after a failure to observe regulations, but incredibly did not suffer from severe symptoms.

'Our fight against COVID mutations will take many years' .. Yoav Kish Deputy Health Minister

 

srael remains dangerously high, despite the ongoing lockdown and mass vaccination campaign.

“The situation is concerning,” Kish said during an interview with Radio 103FM. “We still aren’t seeing the decrease we have been expecting in the number of seriously ill patients.”

Kish pushed back on Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s criticism of the Prime Minister’s demand for additional extensions of the lockdown, calling Gantz’s opposition “political”.

“There is a political matter here. What I saw at the last government meeting was that Gantz is unwilling to compromise on his position. His position is different from that of the Health Ministry’s experts, and he is able to force it on the entire State of Israel.”

“The situation here is dangerous, different positions can create a situation of paralysis.”

Kish also warned that the new variants of the coronavirus will likely require serious government measures to combat them for years to come.

“The British mutation is far more infectious. And this won’t be the last mutation. We’re in a battle that will be with us for many years.”

Again with the Chareidim...70 Chareidim Stuck In Morocco

"המבלי אין קברים בארץ ישראל?" 

I really have to laugh! 

When I was a teenager, I decided to visit Eretz Yisrael. There was a Yerushalmi Guy by the name of Geffner, and he gave tours..."Geffner Tours"

So where does a Yerushalmi Guy take a bunch of Bochrim and a bunch of Bais Yaakov girls (yes ... in those days it wasn't assur... whoever signed up, was on that trip)? 

To kevarim ..... 

yup, in fact some of those trips took 2 days and we even had to book rooms in hotels...

Yes yes ..he ,managed to sneak in Banias and Rosh ha'Nirkah in the north and Mazada ..... but basically it was kevarim kevarim and again kevarim..

I'm surprised he didn't take us to the kever of Moshe Rabbeinu, but I'll guess he didn't know where it was..

When I came back to the states, my father z"l, a Holocaust survivor, asked me "so what did you see?" so I enumerated all the kevarim I visited; he wasn't impressed at all, he said something so profound that I remember this decades later "At least they have a grave."

I digress.... 

so for 70 guys, the millions of graves in Eretz Yisrael wasn't enough ... In Israel, contractors need permission from the Asra Kedisha mafia before they put a shovel into the ground because chances are that wherever they dig they will find a body ...

But that wasn't enough for these "70 Chareidim" they had to go to "chutz Le'aartz" to Morocco during an epidemic, to go for the Yurzeit of Harav Abuchatzeira! 

I am certain that if someone would have asked Harab Abuchatzeira z"l for advice, he would have told them to sit on their derrières and donate those thousands of shekels to the Yerushalyim poor .. 

I guess they didn't daven hard enough because the way it looks they will be davening at the grave for another couple of weeks..

"zolin zei huben ge"poilt allas git!

Alluha Achbar ... G-d is Great!

About 70 Chareidi Israelis are stuck in Morocco without a way of returning to their families in Israel following the closure of Ben-Gurion Airport last week.

The Israelis traveled to Morocco to daven by the kever of HaRav Yitzchak Abuchatzeira, z’tl, on his yom hilula (yartzheit).

The Israelis, who had no inkling prior to their flight that the airport would be closed, planned on returning to Israel on Thursday or at the very latest on Motzei Shabbos, B’Chadrei Chareidim reported. Instead, they were forced to scramble to find places to stay and are making frantic efforts to find a way to return home.

The Israelis in Morocco are not the only ones stranded in foreign countries without a way home following the closure of Ben-Gurion. Hundreds of Israelis are in the same situation in various countries worldwide.

Last week, the government began planning rescue flights to return Israelis stranded abroad to Israel, including an Israir flight from Frankfurt, Germany for hundreds of Israels that was scheduled to fly on Friday. However, the flight was delayed after legal issues arose regarding the Health Ministry’s plan to allow certain Israelis to return on rescue flights while not allowing others, Channel 13 News reported.

A cabinet meeting on Thursday to establish a committee to make decisions on which Israelis are eligible for rescue flights was canceled and is set to meet on Sunday instead. However, it is unclear if the plan can be implemented at all due to the legal issues.

The cabinet is also expected on Sunday evening to approve an extension of the closure of Ben-Gurion, perhaps for several more weeks, as well as the extension of the general nationwide lockdown for another week.

Biden administration can't account for as many as 20 million vaccine doses

 According to a report from the leftist news Politico, the Biden administration is struggling mightily to deliver on its promise to get a handle on the COVID-19 pandemic, and may have even lost track of as many as 20 million vaccine doses that were sent to the states.

The report notes that Biden officials are learning that a seamless, perfect pandemic response is easier to promise than deliver, and notes that the administration has largely jettisoned its ballyhooed coronavirus response plan as they discover that the challenges they face in getting the pandemic under control may have been more serious than they anticipated.

One administration official was even quoted as saying, "It's the Mike Tyson quote: 'Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.'"

The report also indicates that the Biden administration cannot locate about 20 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine that have been sent to the states, and is concerned that "the crucial supply is boxed away in warehouses, sitting idle in freezers or floating elsewhere in the complex distribution pipeline that runs from the administration to individual states."

And as usual Biden administration officials blamed this problem on the Trump administration, which they claim was not tracking what happened to the vaccines after they were sent to the states.

The report also notes that administration officials have discovered that the available stockpile of vaccine is "mostly empty," and that they are struggling to find ways to boost production in order to even meet the administration's initial goal of 100 million vaccination doses in the first 100 days, which was widely criticized as being too modest and not even an improvement on the rate of vaccine delivery during the final days of the Trump administration.

The shortage of vaccine supply is said to have caught the Biden administration by surprise, and according to the Politico report, the shortage may not be alleviated even by as late as this summer, meaning that the administration's plans to help America return to normal activity may be much more stymied than previously anticipated.
