Not Tzneedik Bobov Mitzvah Tanz ...
If this was a modern wedding and the Chassan was dancing with the Kallah with hundreds of men standing around clapping and ogling her, and the modern rabbi running circles around them, every one would be screaming "preetzes, not tzneesdik" but if they are chassidim doing it with the Rebbe running around with his fancy bathrobe then of course its ok~ because this is a "Holy minhag"

Ancient Treasure Found at Sea: 2 shipwrecks discovered off Israel's coast near Caesarea
A number of fascinating artifacts from the wrecks of two ships that foundered off the coast of Caesarea in the Roman and Mamluk periods (some 1700 and 600 years ago) have been discovered in recent months near Caesarea, during an underwater survey conducted by the Marine Archaeology Unit of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The ships’ cargoes and the remains of their wrecked hulls were found scattered in shallow water at a depth of about 4 m, scattered on the sea floor.
According to Jacob Sharvit and Dror Planer of the Israel Antiquities Authority’s Marine Archaeology Unit, “The ships were probably anchored nearby and were wrecked by a storm. They may have been anchored offshore after getting into difficulty, or fearing stormy weather, because sailors know well that mooring in shallow, open water outside of a port is dangerous and prone to disaster.”

Listen to Lakewood Boy , son of Menachem Mozes, Scream Profanities and threating an other Jew
The Kid barking profanities and threating to get a knife and stones is none other than the son of Menachem Mozes the principal of Yeshivas Torahs Aharon and grandchild of Shlomo Chaim Kanarek. Owner and operator of several schools in Lakewood NJ.
They are upset with a neighbor who is fighting the "Vaad" and put up an "eirav" among other things without permission of the Lakewood kapos!
The boys throwing eggs and stones on a home on November 27. Nooo there are not goyim they are boys that wear hats and learn Torah most of the day
Blimi Marcus A Nurse Fights Anti-Vaxxers with 140-Page Rebuttal
Did you get the P.I.E. Magazine my organization wrote?
— Blimi Marcus (@MarcusBlimi) December 19, 2021
We go through lie after lie produced by the Jewish anti-vax Peach Magazine (that triggered the measles outbreak) and we refute them line by line - with references - for 144 pages.
Happy reading & vaccinating! pic.twitter.com/HqdwVG2Yq4
A detailed rebuttal to the anti-vaxxers claims has come from a group of Orthodox nurses called Emes, Hebrew for “truth.” Emes was an active advocate for vaccines during the measles outbreak; its own pamphlet is cheekily called PIE, short for Parents Informed and Educated, and clocks in at 144 pages. It offers basic, fact-based information on vaccines and their benefits.
But there’s one disease it doesn’t address: COVID-19. Blima Marcus, the president of Emes who has a doctorate in nursing, said the material for PIE was actually assembled before the pandemic. However, because Emes relied on healthcare workers who were slammed for the past 18 months and aren’t paid for their work with the organization, it was only published and distributed this month.

Am I missing something? Aren't there mitzvois done in private? The reporter in the clip asks this question, the guest being interviewed answers that if the pair are ok with it, then she sees no problem!
I have. a lot to comment about certain mitzvois done in private and what if the couple doesn't mind people watching?
I know that this ceremony needs a minyan, but hundreds? Little children?
Vaccine Mandate on New York Yeshivas Begins Today
Today is the day. Mayor Bill deBlasio’s tyrannical vaccine mandate on yeshivas and other private schools officially began on Monday.
All Rebbeim, teachers, administrators, office staff, and other employees of yeshivas throughout the five boroughs are legally required to be vaccinated, at least one dose, or stay home.
It is not clear whether yeshivos are planning to enforce the mandate, or whether the city is going to crack down if they do not comply. Private schools are officially required to submit proof of compliance by December 28th, and if they don’t, they may face penalties.
Meanwhile, in a few days, Eric Adams will take over as mayor. He has been extremely vague about whether he plans to enforce the mandate, or even keep it intact.
Many are outraged that the unpopular lame-duck deBlasio instituted such a broad sweeping mandate with just a few days left as mayor. Some have speculated that this was deBlasio’s way of sticking it to Adams, and placing him in a tough spot to begin his term.
In the meantime, thousands of Rebbeim, teachers, and administrators will need to wait and see how this plays out.
In total, the mandate affects about 56,000 employees at 930 schools.
Illinois tells Ben & Jerry’s to go to hell and will Divest this week
The state of Illinois is expected to divest its pension funds of investments in Unilever this coming Wednesday, JNS has learned.
This looming decision in Illinois marks the latest domino to fall as the global conglomerate continues to come under fire after ice-cream maker Ben & Jerry’s, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unilever, publicly announced in July that it intended to cease distributing its products in areas it deemed “occupied Palestinian territory.”
The Illinois Investment Policy Board (IIPB) is scheduled to vote on the matter at its regular meeting on Wednesday morning in Chicago. Multiple sources told JNS that a majority vote to divest is assured, barring a change in Unilever’s posture. The board will also consider taking action in another, perhaps more consequential matter related to the Israel boycott movement, involving the financial services firm Morningstar and its subsidiary, Sustainalytics. JNS has also learned that American Muslims for Palestine organization is attempting to organize a large-scale protest and potential disruption of the public meeting.
Now Anti-Vaxxers Harass HaRav Chaim’s Daughter
Anti-vaxxer women came to the kabalas kahal of HaRav Chaim Kanievsky’s daughter, Rebbetzin Leah Koledetsky, and called her a “murderer” and other derogatory terms and said they won’t leave until the Rebbetzin convinces HaRav Chaim to issue an anti-vaccine statement, Kikar H’Shabbat reported.
Many members of the Kanievsky family have been subject to harassment and abuse by anti-vaxxers in recent weeks.
“A few women came in, one of them brought me a stack of medical records, claiming that she took care of children with COVID and saved them without vaccines,” Rebbetzin Koledetsky told a friend.
“She asked how we recommend vaccines, claiming that the vaccine kills people. She told me that I’m a murderer and insisted that in middle of kabalas kahal I should leave everything and go speak to the Rav. They wanted me to go upstairs, tell the Rav all the stories and show him the medical records and convince him to make a statement against vaccines. She threatened that she won’t move until I go to the Rav. I told her that I’ll call the police but she responded that she won’t move even if I call the police. I, of course, told her that I’m not going up to the Rav and the Rav isn’t feeling well right now and therefore isn’t dealing with this topic right now.”

Israel adds US to no-fly list for the first time
Israel’s cabinet voted on Monday to add the U.S. and Canada to a rapidly growing “red list” of countries to which Israelis are banned from traveling, over fears of the spread of the Omicron variant in those destinations.
Israelis wishing to fly to countries on the list must receive permission from an exceptions committee, typically for humanitarian purposes.
With a maximally restrictive blanket ban on foreigners already in place, the ban primarily affects Israeli citizens returning from red list destinations.
Regardless of vaccination or recovery status, Israelis flying to the Jewish State from red list countries will be forced to isolate in state-run quarantine hotels.
USC student: ‘I want to kill every single Zionist’
The University of Southern California is under fire this week after a student tweeted that she wants “to kill every motherf–king zionist” as well as other postings denounced as anti-Semitic.
The student, Yasmeen Mashayekh, is listed as a diversity and inclusion (DEI) senator for the University of Southern California Viterbi Graduate Student Association. The school has refused to take action against Mashayekh, but other students have objected that the school would not have been so circumspect if Mashayekh said that she wanted to kill others like BLM supporters.
Mashayekh also tweeted in June “Death to Israel and its b–ch the US” and later declared that “if you are not for the complete destruction of Israel and the occupation forces then you’re anti-Palestinian.” In a May tweet, she stated “Yes I f–king love hamas now stfu.” On June 21, she tweeted “Zionists are going to f–king pay.” s
When asked about her calls for violence, Mashayekh was unapologetic on a podcast by Palestine in America on Dec. 2: “I still don’t feel any pressure to change any stances or apologize for anything at all.”
Other students have objected. Molly Davis, a student at USC, told Fox News that “while students are being forced to go through a virtual ‘diversity’ training, DEI senators are tweeting how they want to literally end the lives of humans who support the Jewish people. It’s dark and severely twisted.”
Sixty-six current and former faculty members at USC signed a letter to the university’s leadership, calling on it to “publicly and explicitly rebuke Yasmeen Mashayekh for her offensive behavior and to distance USC from her hateful statements.”
However, a USC spokesperson told Fox News that the statements are “disturbing” but legally protected.
“The individual is a member of a graduate student group that is self-organized, elects its own council members and does not set the university’s policies. Even though the statements at issue are legally protected, we understand they are disturbing. USC rejects and condemns hatred in all its forms.”
It’s hard to believe Biden never talked with Harris about 2024
On its face, the claim by Vice President Kamala Harris that she and President Biden have never discussed whether he would seek re-election seems the kind of ridiculous lie that only a politician would tell. With Biden’s growing age and declining faculties, and their party’s troubled state, not to mention Harris’ staff problems and low standing with voters, it is impossible to believe the president and vice president have never talked about 2024.
In Argentina: Jewish Community Member Found Murdered In His Home
The Jewish community in Buenos Aires is reeling following the discovery of the murder of a member of the community Shaul Chilo, 77, z’l, on Friday, B’Chadrei Chareidim reported.
Chilo’s housekeeper and daughter found him lifeless in the bathroom of his home with his legs bound together and alerted the police. Following an initial police investigation, the police believe that he died of strangulation.
Footage from the home’s security cameras shows thieves entering the home without breaking down the front door, instead seamlessly opening the door with a magnetic card.
Chilo’s friends and acquaintances say he was a beloved member of the community. He was the father-in-law of Yehoshua Ahurdai, the director of the local Chevra Kadisha.
HaRav Eliyahu Hamra, the president of the Jewish community in Argentina told B’Chadrei: “The community received the news with complete shock. The victim was well-known in the community.”
“We were at the scene from the afternoon hours of erev Shabbos. We supported the family and requested that the security authorities speed up the process of evacuating the niftar from the murder scene prior to Shabbos. This is one of the most upper-scale neighborhoods in Buenos Aires and this was a shocking and rare case of entry and murder in a private home. We’re strongly demanding from the authorities to take all necessary measures to carry out the investigation of the incident and arrest those responsible.”

Biden Will Track Jew Violence on Palestinians ...all while Palestinians are Murdering Jews
The U.S. State Department has included extensive reporting on alleged "settler attacks" on Arabs in Judea and Samaria in its annual terrorism report, marking a shift in how the State Department handles the issue after the end of the Trump administration.
The 2020 report on terrorist violence, released Thursday, includes three paragraphs reporting on alleged acts of "settler violence", the most it has included in years.
The incidents have become a point of contention between the Biden administration and the government of Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, disrupting efforts by both sides to keep relations on an even keel.
Violent attacks by both Jewish settlers and Palestinian Arabs have increased over the past year, according to the report.
A 25-year-old Israeli Jew was ambushed and killed in his car by Arab terrorists on Thursday.
The Israel-Judea and Samaria section of the 2020 State Department report begins, as it has for years, with an accounting of Palestinian Arab terrorist attacks on Israelis and notes the cooperation between Palestinian Authority and Israeli forces in preventing the attacks.
Then it shifts to reporting on alleged attacks by Israeli Jews on Palestinian Arabs or their property, citing claims by left-wing non-governmental organizations in Israel.
“Israelis living in the West Bank also committed a variety of physical attacks and property crimes against Palestinians, some of which caused serious injury, according to Israeli human rights organizations and media reports,” the report said.
The reports on allegations of settler violence under the Trump administration were never longer than a paragraph, sometimes only two sentences. Moreover, the Trump administration stopped citing human rights groups in its second report, for the year 2017.
The report issued last year, for the year 2019, removed the word “settler” entirely. Trump administration officials, including former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and former ambassador to Israel David Friedman, sought to bring State Department nomenclature.
The Biden administration’s return to citing human rights groups for information and statistics is significant given Israel’s decision this year to ban six Palestinian non-governmental organizations from operating.
Israeli officials have said that the Biden administration’s focus on "settler violence" is “obsessive,” The Jerusalem Post reported this week. But one Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the Bennett government was not concerned that the Biden administration was overly concerned with the issue.
Officials of the Biden and Bennett governments are endeavoring to keep any bickering behind closed doors, wishing to avoid the open confrontations that marked the 12 years that Benjamin Netanyahu was prime minister.
The reporting on alleged attacks by Israelis against Arabs in Judea and Samaria also noted that Israeli law enforcement was often the victim of settler attacks and noted Israeli efforts to constrain the phenomenon.

Satmar's Twitter account Support antisemites
Satmar has a twitter account? Don't they keep screaming and makin asifas against the internet?
Aha!
These asifas are only to show the world that they are on board, but the internet is necessary for Satmar to export their baseless hatred for the State of Israel.
Anti-Zionism is the glue that holds Satmar together, and if you should take this away, they basically have nothing as their Hungarian "minhagim" are only recent. and as a chassidus they have nothing else to sell or offer. Most of them, to their credit are very smart business people, but in Torah learning they leave much to be desired. Those of them that like to learn, join Litvishe and Yeshivishe Kollilm. Some of them even started a Chavrusa situation learning the Torahs of Harav Kook z"l and this started in Monsey and now secretly spreading to other Satmar enclaves.
According to Satmar's twisted logic "twitter" and "whatsapp" aren't the internet, even though those apps can only be accessed by smartphones.
Officially they don't have any accounts on the internet but of course if you ask any Satmar guy, they will laugh because there is at least 5 "official" Satmar Twitter accounts that keep the sheep up to date of what's going on in their community, and there are hundreds of Whatsapp groups that they and their wives access.
The main Satmar Twitter accounts have all the Satmar official statements in Yiddish. I am very familiar with these groups as I am a member.
Neturei Karta the "Eirav Rav" of the Jewish community is 100% supported by Satmar both financially and politically, though they deny it. It wasn't too long ago when we wrote extensively about it as we followed the money of the Neturei Karta and we pointed out that the main fundraising office of the Neturei Karta then was in the office of Der Yid. I haven't checked lately if they are still there.
Neturei Karta have a website and a twitter account that go by the name of "Torah True Jews" and "Original Jews" which is hilarious because this group has nothing to do with Torah and they are nor original; a Jew should sooner follow the Reform and conservative movements before they entertain following these self hating barbarians. Of course the guys writing for "Torah True Jews" and "Original Jews" like Shapiro of Queens are huge Neturei Karta supporters and speak at their rallies.
The Satmar Twitter accounts frequently "Like" the Neturi Karta Twitter garbage and of course they follow and "like" the fake Iranian Rabbi who supports the Iranian murderers who vowed to wipe Israel off the map.
Rabbi Eliezer Waldman one of the pioneers of the renewed Jewish community in Hebron Passes Away
Rabbi Eliezer Waldman, Rosh Yeshivat Nir in Kiryat Arba, has passed away.
His funeral will take place today at 12:30 from the Nir Yeshiva building in Kiryat Arba to the ancient cemetery in Hebron.
On the eve of Sukkot, Rabbi Waldman fell in his home in Kiryat Arba and was injured. He was hospitalized for several days and from there was transferred to rehabilitation at Herzog Medical Center.
After about a month and a half of rehabilitation, he healed and was welcomed back with happiness at the Nir Yeshiva. Together with Rabbi Noam Waldman, the head of the yeshiva and the son of Rabbi Waldman, his students accompanied him to his home singing and dancing.
About two weeks ago, the rabbi was hospitalized at Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, and since then many prayers have been offered for his healing.
Rabbi Waldman was one of the founders of the Or Etzion Yeshiva and served as a rabbi there. Following the Six-Day War, he was one of the pioneers who renewed the Jewish community in Hebron and, from 1972, headed the Nir Hesder Yeshiva.
He was a partner in the founding of Gush Emunim and the Tekiuma Party. Over the years, he served as a member of the World Secretariat of the Bnei Akiva movement and later as a member of the national administration.
The chairman of the Religious Zionist Party, MK Bezalel Smotrich, paid tribute to the late Rabbi Waldman. "I weep with all of the House of Israel over the ascension to heaven of the head of the Nir Yeshiva, among the renewers of the Jewish community in Hebron, Rabbi Elierzer Waldman. A Torah scholar with a radiating countenance, among the great students of Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Hacohen Kook and one of the faithful purveyors of the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Yitzhak Hacohen Kook for decades. Condolences to his thousands upon thousands of students and dear family. May we find comfort in the continued building of the Torah in the Land of Israel.."
"Der Groiser Chuchim" Mordechai Ben David claims 'coronavirus is flu,' says it's 'Pfizer's money mill.'
I don't know too much about covid, I'll admit. But MBD is not the sharpest bulb in the lamp. He is not known for being a "chuchim" he has more "mazel vee sichel" but that doesn't stop people from interviewing him.
Popular singer Mordechai Ben David, commonly known as MBD, claimed that COVID-19 is "just flu" and that the media is fear-mongering.
"Coronavirus is flu," Ben David said in an interview with Radio Kol Hai's Menachem Toker. "In my opinion it's just money, it's Pfizer's money mill. The media is trying to instill fear in us, so that everyone will get vaccinated out of fear."

Family reunited decades after mothers separated at Auschwitz
 |
| Dora on the left and Eva on the right |
Torn apart during the Holocaust, this family spent decades separated until they finally reunited recently, thanks to the internet.
While at the concentration camp Auschwitz during World War II, the Nazis separated a woman named Dora and her 2-year-old daughter, Eva. The pair would spend the rest of their lives searching for each other, but would never see one another again.
After the war, Dora moved to the US and had two more daughters. Unbeknownst to her, Eva had survived the atrocities of the Holocaust, and was brought to Israel, where she was adopted and later taken to Britain.
Both women have since passed away, but Eva’s daughter, Clare Reay, was miraculously able to reunite herself with the two children Dora had in the US after her son bought her a MyHeritage DNA test.
The test revealed that Reay’s great-grandmother had living children in Ohio. Immediately, she sought to meet her long-lost aunts.
“We always knew about Eva, but we didn’t know where to begin to find her,” Dena Morris, 73, one of Dora’s two US children, said of her long-lost aunt in a blog post by MyHeritage. “Now we have pictures, and she could be the twin of my mother. It’s insane because Reay’s mother looks identical to mum.”
In 2020, the families virtually reunited over 75 years since their respective mothers were separated in Poland (Reay was unable to come to the US due to COVID travel restrictions).
Then, this year, they finally reunited in person when Reay came to Louisville, Ohio, in a surprise visit to Morris and her sister Jean Gerhart, 75.
“I’m hoping that they’re both in heaven, their souls together, and they know,” Morris said of their mothers’ reaction to the reunion. “It is just incredible.”
ADL Supports the Self-Hating Jewish Antisemite Soros by Pressuring Fox News To Remove a Cartoon
Fox News deleted a cartoon depicting leftist billionaire activist George Soros as a puppet master and the Anti-Defamation League accused the news network of wading into antisemitic tropes.
The cartoon shows Soros manipulating a Democratic district attorney who is holding up a sign with the words “defund the police” on it, and a Democratic attorney general holding a sign that says “no bail.”
“As we have told @FoxNews numerous times, casting a Jewish individual as a puppet master who manipulates national events for malign purposes conjures up longstanding antisemitic tropes about Jewish power and contributes to the normalization of antisemitism,” the ADL tweeted.
A frequent target of right-wing ire, Soros – who is a Holocaust survivor – is often the target of many conservatives, upset at his funding of leftist candidates and agendas.

Yerushalayim Family violates quarantine, causes mass infection
A family from Jerusalem who returned from South Africa, which is defined as a “red” country, violated quarantine despite being confirmed as positive for the Omicron strain of COVID-19 and caused mass infection, Channel 12 News reported on Thursday.
According to the report, the parents continued to send their children to school, the infected grandmother continued her work as the director of an educational institution and the infected grandfather continued to visit his synagogue every day.
The report said that even after the discovery of the chain of infection, the family members, most of whom are not vaccinated, are refusing to cooperate with the authorities.
An investigation by the Home Front Command unit in charge of dealing with cases of COVID-19 revealed that even though the family members returned from South Africa, they violated home isolation after receiving negative PCR test results and sent their children to educational institutions even though they were supposed to stay in isolation for seven days.
On the fifth day of quarantine, most of the family members were confirmed to be infected with the Omicron variant and even then, they continued to send the children to school. An investigation by the Home Front Command revealed that another person, who lied during the investigation, was also connected to the contagion incident.
An outbreak reported Thursday at a school in Jerusalem may also be related to this incident.
