London Kehilah Issued a Boycott of all Frum Establishments that Had Photos of Women but Quickly Denied it as the Police Were Closing In

 

I guess no one likes to pay big hefty fines!

Just last week, the big rabbis at the London Hisachdus issued a "fatwa" on all Jewish owned businesses and individuals that had photos of women in their ads. They threatened them with boycotts etc.

Well, they forgot that they live in Chutz Le'aaretz, and so the "goyishe" government started an investigation, because for some crazy reason, discriminating against women in the UK is against the law.

The rabbis of the "kehila" ran around like poisoned rats trying to find ways to retract ....

They couldn't come out with a statement apologising for the "fatwa" because that would mean they are for placing photos in advertisements...

Some "chuchem fin dee ma nishtana" came up with a brilliant idea.

Why not deny that they ever issued the "fatwa" ...

'Beloved Ottawa community pillar' Rabbi Reuven Bulka passes away

 

Prominent Ottawa Rabbi Reuven Bulka has passed away at the age of 77.

Rabbi Bulka was a rabbi with the Canadian capital's Congregation Machzikei Hadas for over 50 years.

He was a member of the Order of Canada and had been given the Key to the City of Ottawa.

"It is with profound sadness that we inform you that Rabbi Dr. Reuven Bulka passed away early this morning, Sunday, June 27, 2021," Rabbi Idan Scher of Machzikei Hadas told the congregation in an email.

In the winter, after being diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic and liver cancer, Bulka travelled to New York to be with his family.

His funeral service on Sunday was live streamed from New York. He became a rabbi there at the age of 16, when he took over his father’s congregation.

Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada called Bulka a “beloved Ottawa community pillar.

"A kind soul, an eloquent voice, a wise teacher. Rabbi Bulka was respected by all for his spiritual leadership and many good deeds. He will be missed. May his memory be a blessing,” tweeted Mostyn.

Rabbi Bulka’s son Schmuel Bulka, spoke at the service, saying his father spent his life working to find common ground among everyone, even people he disagreed with.

"Most people today, unfortunately, when they see people who are different — all they do is go toward the differences. Some people make a career out of exploiting differences," he said. "My father was the exact opposite. He would always look for commonalities – for something he would have in common with somebody, even if he was different. It didn't mean he would compromise his principles. But he was always looking for commonalities."

Rabbi Bulka was known for founding Kind Canada, an Ottawa charity that sought to spread kindness. The organization launched Kindness Week.

In early June, a bill passed Canada’s parliament that proclaimed Kindness Week in Canada to be held in the third week of February, reported CTV News.

In the USA Even "goyim" Go to Kollel . One in Five Young Adults Is Neither Working Nor Studying

 Almost one in five young adults in the U.S. was neither working nor studying in the first quarter as Black and Hispanic youth remain idle at disproportionate rates. 

In the first three months of the year, about 3.8 million Americans age 20 to 24 were not in employment, education or training, known as the NEET rate, the Center for Economic Policy and Research said in a report. That’s up by 740,000, 

Inactive youth is a worrying sign for the future of the economy, as they don’t gain critical job skills to help realize their future earnings potential. Further, high NEET rates may foster environments that are fertile for social unrest. 

The increase last quarter appears to be driven largely by joblessness, while school attendance rose moderately as campuses started to reopen, according to the CE

Ezra Sheinberg, convicted sex offender, asks for early release for 'good conduct'

 

The Nazareth District Court on Monday will hold a hearing to discuss Ezra Sheinberg's request to shorten his sentence, Makor Rishon reported.

Sheinberg, who previously served as a yeshiva dean in the northern city of Tzfat, admitted to and was convicted of sex offenses against women in the community he led.

Sheinberg has asked to be released due to "good conduct" in prison. His request for release will be discussed in court due to requests by the Prosecutor's Office and the women he hurt that the State re-examine the danger he presents and not rush to grant him an administrative release after he served just two-thirds of his sentence.

Meanwhile, Sheinberg's victims are fighting to prevent his early release from prison, which would be allowed under a plea bargain that was accepted against their wishes.

Three weeks ago, Sheinberg was ordered to pay 388,0000 shekels ($119,090) to a resident of northern Israel, in compensation for the emotional damage he caused her after she fell victim to his sexual crimes.

That woman responded to the ruling by saying: "I thank all those who held my hands and supported me. Whoever thought that this world is a free-for-all should know today that there is judgement, and there is a judge, in heaven and on earth."

In April, one of Sheinberg's victims told Kan Reshet Bet: "A sex offender who mocks the judicial system is about to be released. He apologized to the judges for thinking that he is the messiah, but he continues to torture us."

Deal Reached.....Evyatar to be turned into yeshiva, residents to voluntarily leave

 

Israeli security officials have reached an agreement with residents of an unauthorized town in Samaria aimed at avoiding the community’s demolition.

The more than 50 families now living at the outpost town of Evyatar, near Tapuah Junction in Samaria, have agreed to voluntarily evacuate, until the defense establishment can verify that the land in question is not privately owned.

The deal was reached following negotiations between Defense Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White), Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked (Yamina), and settlement leaders, including Samaria Regional Council chief Yossi Dagan. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett gave his blessing to the deal.

Under the deal agreed to by residents of the Evyatar outpost, the residents agreed to leave the town by the end of the week, thus avoiding a complex eviction operation – one which security officials feared could lead to violence.

In exchange, the government will maintain a presence at the site, and has vowed not to demolish the homes and other structures erected at Evyatar.

Initially, the town will be used to house IDF soldiers. Later this summer, the town will be converted into a Hesder yeshiva.

Residents may also be allowed back to resettle the town, if security officials conclude that the land used is not privately owned Arab property.

As part of the arrangement, the Defense Ministry has committed to instruct the Civil Administration to complete its surveying of the land in question within the next six months.

If it is verified as not being privately owned, it will be declared state land and the town of Evyatar will be formally established.

Developers of doomed Fla. tower were once accused of paying off officials

The developers of the Miami condo tower that collapsed were once accused of paying off local officials to get permits for the site — which needed $15 million in repairs just to bring it to code, a new report says.

Building rivals claimed that the partners behind Surfside Champlain Towers South were receiving preferential treatment when it came to getting through the permit system as the site was being built in 1981, the Washington Post said. 

Surfside’s developers had contributed to the campaigns of at least two town-council members, then demanded that the donations be returned when the allegations surfaced, according to the outlet.

Meanwhile, the 12-story tower had been on the verge of undergoing $15 million in renovations to pass a required 40-year certification when it collapsed, killing at least nine people and leaving more than 150 unaccounted for Thursday, the report added.

All of the principals believed to have been involved in the design and construction of the building are already dead, the outlet said.

The developers behind the project had included Nathan Reiber, a Polish-born Canadian who was also once charged with tax evasion and cited for legal misconduct in Canada, the report said.

Reiber, who died in 2014, had been charged with tax evasion by Canadian authorities in the 1970s when he and his partners were accused of skimming cash from apartment buildings they owned.

They allegedly skimmed tens of thousands of dollars from coin-operated laundry machines in the buildings and pocketed about $120,000 from phony construction checks, the Washington Post said.

Authorities later issued an arrest warrant for Reiber when he fled to Florida.

In 1984, Reiber, a lawyer, was cited for professional misconduct by the Law Society of Upper Canada for evading the tax-evasion case, the paper said.

He ultimately settled the case by returning to Canada and paying a $60,000 fine.

In Florida, Reiber and his partners were then initially unable to begin construction of the condo buildings due to a 1979 moratorium due to faulty sewers.

The developers agreed to pay half of the $400,000 tab for the sewer repairs on the property and were given the green light — sparking anger from rival developers whose projects remained stalled by the moratorium.

Black US Olympic Bronze Winner Turns Her Back on the Flag

So you are probably curious to know what she did to win the Bronze Medal in the Olympics....? 

Are You?

Well if you are just a tad like me ..you are wondering what she did to deserve this?

Here goes.... she threw a hammer further than her competitors? 

I am not kidding ...

I'll bet her boyfriend sleeps with one eye open..

I sincerely believe they could have gotten a better thrower from the rioters and looters in Portland; they would have gotten the gold!

She said that playing the National Anthem was "a set up."

again, I am not kidding ...

I guess we have to thank her, because last week she said that if she won, she would burn the US flag on the winning podium.

 For the past week, they've played the national anthem one time a night at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.

On Saturday, the song happened to start while outspoken activist Gwen Berry was standing on the podium after receiving her bronze medal in the hammer throw.

While the music played, Berry placed her left hand on her hip and shuffled her feet. She took a quarter turn, so she was facing the stands, not the flag. Toward the end, she plucked up her black T-shirt with the words "Activist Athlete" emblazoned on the front, and draped it over her head.

"I feel like it was a set-up, and they did it on purpose," Berry said of the timing of the anthem. "I was pissed, to be honest."

Berry's reaction to the "Star-Spangled Banner" took its fair share of the spotlight on a blazing-hot second-to-last day at trials that also featured some blazing-fast times.

Gabby Thomas became the second-fastest woman ever in the 200, winning the final in 21.61 seconds. The only woman faster: Florence Griffith-Joyner. And, as expected, Grant Holloway won the 110-meter hurdles, though his time in the semifinals was the eye-opener. His 12.81 was only 0.01 off the world record.

Beit Shemesh Pit where boy drowned had no barrier, no warning of danger

 

Three days after the tragic drowning of 14-year-old Nehemia Aharoni of Beit Shemesh while on a school trip, the circumstances surrounding the incident are becoming clearer.

The trip took place last Thursday, and around noontime, Nehemia and his classmates stopped at a recognized picnic site on the outskirts of Beit Shemesh, near a bridge that was being built to connect Route 38 to the city.

Nehemia and his friends were playing in the field there near the tables, two of which are just four meters (twelve feet) away from the edge of the pit in which he drowned. The pit, which doesn’t seem especially deep, is filled with water from Nahal Sorek, possibly due to the construction work ongoing in the area, and some of the boys, including Nehemia, went down to the edge of the water to fill clear plastic bottles with water and the tadpoles found there.

Not long afterward, the boys returned to the school bus to continue on their way, but Nehemia had forgotten his bottle not far from the pit, and asked for the others to wait for him while he ran to get it. The moments passed, and Nehemia did not return.

After a short while, the other boys and their teacher set out to look for him, calling his name – but already at that point, Nehemia was no longer among the living. He had clearly slipped on the slope leading down to the pool and fallen into the water.

After the tragedy, it emerged that the pool concerned is around three meters deep and almost full with water. A volunteer from the Beit Shemesh branch of the ZAKA organization, Rabbi Avraham Kop, who led the search for the boy, warned of the danger of the area.

“This was a terrible tragedy that occurred in a recognized picnic area with a playground nearby, with picnic tables spread out of which two are just a few feet away from the deadly pit,” he said.

“The boy who drowned was fully clothed and with his shoes on, and he clearly slipped on the slope leading down to the pit and fell into the water. There is no sign anywhere nearby warning of the danger of deep water – there’s no barrier, not even red tape around the pool,” he stressed. “Absolutely nothing to give anyone any clue of the danger. It’s absolutely irresponsible, like nothing I’ve ever seen.”

Kop added that he visited the site again after the tragedy, on Friday afternoon, to see what it looks like by daylight, as Aharoni was only found after dark. “I was horrified to see that just a few yards away from that pit, around seven children were playing happily, their parents nearby,” he said.

“Neither the parents nor the children had any idea of what had happened there or what could happen, G-d forbid. And, unbelievably, I visited there once again and yet again found people there, still with no warning sign, no barrier or anything. Nobody has bothered to close off the area or to warn people of the dangers.”

An emergency delegation from the IDF's Homefront Command was sent to Miami to help the rescue effort from the Champlain Towers building in the Miami suburb of Surfside, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on Saturday night. 

In coordination with the governor's office in Florida and the Foreign Ministry, Gantz decided to send a team of engineering and rescue specialists.

"We will make every effort to help save human lives, and to offer our support to the Jewish community and to our American friends," Gantz said.

Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai departed on Saturday night  to the disaster area in Florida, where he will meet with local Jewish community leaders and Miami-Dade mayor Daniella Levine Cava in the coming days. Upon his return to Israel, Shai will present Prime Minister Naftali Bennett plans for assistance to the Jewish community. Ahead of his trip, Shai said that he intends on exploring various ways of assisting the Jewish community in Miami.   

"We will do whatever we can to help the Americans in any way they deem fit," Shai told The Jerusalem Post en route to Miami. "America can learn from Israeli experience. Unfortunately, we have too much experience with disasters."   

Shai said his visit would send a powerful message about the relationship between Israel and American Jewry being a two-way street. He said this was very important to the prime minister.

Israel will send aid to Miami, Bennett promised on Friday afternoon. In a tweet Bennett wrote that "we are following with concern the difficult images that are coming out from Florida. Our Foreign Ministry representatives in Miami and Israel are doing everything possible to assist and address the situation.

"The entire nation of Israel prays for the safety of those injured and missing in the disaster," Bennett wrote. "From here we send support to our brethren in the Jewish community in particular, and to all Florida residents in general, and express our sorrow during this tragic event." 

On Saturday night, the prime minister spoke to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Expressing condolences on behalf of the Israeli public, Bennett reaffirmed his pledge to provide aid.

"The US is our greatest ally and we all stand by your side in this difficult time," Bennett told DeSantis. "We all pray for the safety of those injured. I have instructed all sectors of the Israeli government to assist in any way necessary."

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said that at such difficult times, Israel must stand with its friends in America and the Jewish people in Florida in particular. He said it was a badge of pride that Israel could be effective in providing assistance.

United Hatzalah in cooperation with El Al will also be sending a team from its Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit to assist victims of the condo collapse in Surfside, Florida.

The team will work to provide psychological support and emotional stabilization to those affected by the collapse, including families and neighbors of those who were injured, killed, missing or in any other way involved in the tragedy. United Hatzalah volunteers will also make themselves available to the wider community.

“As soon as the collapse occurred, we began making preparations for the mission to depart," said President and Founder of United Hatzalah Eli Beer. "When we contacted El Al about the possibility of having this mission, they were eager to help and decided to fully sponsor the flights for the team."

The mission will be led by Vice President of Operations for United Hatzalah Dov Maisal, who has led disaster response missions to Nepal, Haiti and Japan as a paramedic. He will partner directly with Clinical Operations Director of the PCRU Einat Kaufman, who is a cognitive psychologist and a trained EMT.

Most recently, the same team provided support to those affected by the Meron tragedy, those injured, mourning and to the first responders themselves.

"This will be the fourth emergency relief mission conducted by our Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit in the United States in as many years," Beer added. "El AL is an incredible partner and we are forever grateful for their support of this mission which is to help the community in Surfside that is suffering terribly right now."

"I myself was the benefactor of the kindness of the entire South Florida community during my fight with COVID-19 last year and if I were able to go myself on this mission I would," Beer added. "I am sending my best people on this mission in order to provide as much help as we can. We stand with you and we are sending you the best of the best to help. They will be there as soon as regulations permit us to arrive.”

Dianne Lob, Chair, William Daroff, CEO, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued a statement saying they were devastated by the disaster and grateful for the ongoing leadership and support shown by the local and broader Jewish community for those impacted by the tragedy.

"As we continue to monitor this developing situation, the American Jewish community prays for the recovery of the victims, and extends condolences to those who lost loved ones," they said.

AOC "The Little Communist from NY" ... Rep Greene

 U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene drew loud cheers from a crowd in Ohio on Saturday night when she directed some barbs at a House colleague, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

"She’s not an American. She really doesn’t embrace our American ways," Greene claimed about the New York Democrat, who was actually born in New York City. 

"You want to know why? She has something called the ‘Green New Deal,’" Greene, a Georgia Republican, continued, referring to the package of climate initiatives that Ocasio-Cortez has proposed on Capitol Hill. The GOP has derided the plan as a costly job-killer.

Greene referred to the plan as being pitched by "the little communist from New York City."

Ocasio-Cortez must have been watching Greene’s appearance near Cleveland, which preceded a speech by former President Donald Trump, because the Democrat responded on Twitter to Greene’s "little communist" dig.

"First of all," Ocasio-Cortez wrote, "I’m taller than her."

First of all, I’m taller than her https://t.co/H6rXG66GJk

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 27, 2021

Ocasio-Cortez stands at 5 feet, 6 inches tall, while Greene stands at 5 feet, 3 inches tall, according to internet accounts.

Later, Ocasio-Cortez reminded her Twitter followers that Saturday was the third anniversary of her 2018 upset win in a New York U.S. House primary, when she defeated incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, leading to victory in the general election later that year.

The re-settlement by the indigenous Jews of Israel

 

Archaeology and recorded history, including the Torah, evidence Jewish indigenous status. You cannot settle your own land or occupy your own land, and those who use those words do so to deny all history and law in the service of antisemitism

Islamists and their Leftist allies in the West, have a hard time understanding and accepting that Jews are the indigenous people of Israel. They cannot understand or they do not want to, that, according to international law, the Jews have full rights to all of the land of Israel. They cannot deny that the modern misleading notion of the "Palestinian people" was born after 1967 in reaction to the Jews getting back all of Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria (aka 'West Bank'). When Jordan occupied that territory there was no talk of Palestine.

In 1922, the League of Nations recognized the historical connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel. The Romans re-named it Palestine in the year 136 C.E. and the name was changed to Israel upon independence from British control in 1948. The League enacted the ‘Mandate for Palestine’, which designated all of Palestine, (including that part of historical Judea and Samaria, known to some as the ‘West Bank’), to be reconstituted as the Jewish Homeland.

This fact has never changed and is established in international law. Even though Israel has many times tried to divide part of this historical Jewish land to give a portion to the Arabs, the Arabs never accepted any offer because they are unwilling to recognize any portion as a Jewish homeland.

Despite the West’s naive wish for there to be a “two-state” solution, there has never been any indication from the Arabs that they have departed from their position that they want a Palestinian Arab state in place of Israel not alongside of Israel. The Jews are neither occupiers nor colonialists, but owners, historically and legally to the land of Israel

The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj al-Amin al-Husseini, appointed by Britain in 1921, will never be accused of loving Jews. In fact, during the Second World War, over 70 years ago the Mufti, who was Yasser Arafat's uncle, met with Adolph Hitler in Berlin to discuss the 'final solution' to the 'Jewish problem’.

Shaked's new sanctions on quarantine violators

 

Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked intends to promote a new initiative this week to deter quarantine violators.

According to her proposal, an Israeli who returns from abroad and violates his or her obligation to quarantine - will not only pay a fine of NIS 5,000 - but will also not be allowed to leave the country for an entire year.

Yediot Aharonot reported that the sanction proposed by Shaked will also apply to children and passengers who leave for 'red' countries without the approval of an exceptions committee.

"It is a very simple enforcement tool," Shaked said. "The name of a person caught violating quarantine will be reported immediately to the Population Authority and he will join a list that will be banned from leaving the country for a year."

"I think it is proportionate, if you travel abroad and do not follow the guidelines then you will bear the consequences," she said. "During summer vacation there are families who go on vacation with children and they are not vaccinated - they will return to Israel and go to their friends. It is a tool that I am using for deterrence."
