"Lapid, you have no mandate to relinquish Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem,"

 

I find it appalling that not one Chareidie MK is standing up for Israel to let the demented Biden know that he cannot play with the sovereignty of the State of Israel. Why is it only the Chilonim that won't be "mevatteir" on Israel's security. Is it only about money all the time?

Where are they?

Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Yair Lapid Sunday warning of potential dangers to Israel's sovereignty posed by the proposed itinerary of US President Joe Biden's visit to Israel this week.

"This coming Wednesday, for the first time, US President Joe Biden will land in Israel. We always welcome every American president. The US President's visit to Israel is a very important political event. However, it already appears that the visit will include two unprecedented political concessions: Israeli consent to a Palestinian representation at the Allenby crossing and tacit consent (and even encouragement by Lapid's office) to Biden's visit to Palestinian institutions in East Jerusalem," Danon said.

"Biden is coming to Israel as part of a trip to the Middle East as part of which he will also visit Saudi Arabia where he will meet with representatives of Arab countries. For Israel, the visit comes at a very bad time. The Knesset has been dissolved, Israel is at the beginning of an election process and the Israeli prime minister is a transitional prime minister, lacking political experience who needs every bit of legitimacy and image of a leader to strengthen his position as part of his election campaign.

"In this situation, Israel has no ability to stand up for its interests in the face of American pressure for political concessions that comes along with the president's visit. The Americans recognize the weakness of the transitional government, and the teams already in the country are making concessions that they would never have dared to ask if Israel had a strong national right-wing government today. Lapid, it turns out, is willing to make sweeping concessions to please President Biden.

"An American president has never visited East Jerusalem. Neither Bush the father nor the son, not Clinton, not Trump and not even Obama. The meaning of such a visit is to give the green light to the Americans to challenge Israel's sovereignty in Jerusalem. Lapid as interim prime minister has no mandate to allow such a move.

"As Israel's ambassador to the UN, I headed many delegations of diplomats who came to visit Israel, including two UN secretaries. There, too, there has always been a desire to include a tour of Palestinians in East Jerusalem. It never happened. We have always known how to prevent such moves while conveying quiet but decisive messages.

"I call on Lapid today to refrain from political concessions for a photo op with the President of the United States.

Baruch Lebovits convicted sexual predator has hundreds attending his funeral

 

A cantor from a prominent Hasidic family whose child abuse conviction shook up both his community and Brooklyn politics has died.

Baruch Lebovits died Saturday at 71, 12 years after he was first convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a 16-year-old boy. He was buried in Jerusalem on Monday at a funeral attended by hundreds after a separate large gathering in Borough Park, Brooklyn, on Sunday.

The sendoff offered no indication that Lebovits stood at the center of a saga that had bitterly divided his community and traumatized many within it.

Satmar Hypocrites Bash Belz for Allowing "secular studies" in their Yeshivois

 

👈

The Satmar (ahroinie) Yiddish Newspaper bashed Belz on their front page, because the Belzer Rebbe decided to do the right thing to introduce Math and English into their curriculum, which will entitle them to government funds for each student. 

I wonder what R' Arron Teitelbaum's wife thinks about this as she and the Belzer Rebbe's wife are sisters. I would like to be a fly on the wall, when R' Aaron and his Hebrew speaking Rebbetzin discuss this at breakfast. 

What is interesting to note is that R' Aron Teitelbaum endorsed Hochul for governor and she not only supports LGBT ideas in schools but she is fighting for this. Satmar also takes funding from "the government" and  teaches secular studies in their special public schools in Monroe. In fact the Bnei Yoel a Satmar group that hates both feuding Satmar Rebbe brothers, protest in from of R' Aaron's home on a weekly basis . 

Bunch of hypocrites!

Well respected Rav & Dayan from Bnei Brak Banished and Exiled to Tzfat because he raped a married lady

 A very respected Dayan in Bnei-Brak who was previously a Rosh Yeshiva is the talk of town as he was found guilty by a Bais Din of raping a married woman. The Bais Din first ruled that he be exiled to Chutz Le'aaretz but then decided to keep him not too far  and ruled that he must live in Tzfat as "to keep an eye on him." 

More and more women are now coming out with horror stories about him. 

Below is a video in Yiddish that talks about this "Chushiveh Dayan" 

Litvaks Remove the word "“V’eizon” (I will feed) from the Kesubos In Israel

 

A dramatic halachic controversy emerged during a shiur given by a prominent Dayan from Bnei Brak. The Dayan, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Cohen, noticed that a kesubah printed by a chareidi bookstore chain did not contain the word “V’eizon” (And I will feed), a critical aspect of the husband’s obligations as delineated in the kesubah. The implication is that with such a kesubah a husband would not be obligated to provide sustenance for his wife, which is contrary to the halachic requirement in marriage.

Since the erroneous kesubah has been mass-printed by the popular bookstore chain, it is assumed that there may be thousands of invalid kesubos which contain the mistaken version.

Rabbi Cohen mentioned this point during a shiur at the Shtefanesht Beis Midrash in Zichron Meir where he serves as a poseik. He ruled that anyone who has such a kesubah in his possession must refer to the Rabbi who performed his wedding and ask him to exchange the kesubah for a kosher one.

The dayan mentioned that even though there were loopholes which could enable the kesubah to be validated, it would be correct to exchange the kesubah, since the Nachalas Shiva maintains that such a kesubah is invalid and his rulings are accepted by Ashkenazi poskim.

The Dayan’s ruling was widely circulated and a number of young couples discovered that their kesubah was problematic and asked to change their kesubos. In the meantime, the bookstore has stopped printing the problematic kesubos.

Ami's Chaim Friedlander ... What A Damn Liar!

 

Chaim Friedlander is Ami's Israeli Politics writer. 

In this week's issue he wrote a column about Yair Lapid portraying him as anti-Chareidie. 

I am not a fan of Lapid I think that he is a disaster. 

Having said that, there is absolutely no reason to lie about him, there is enough proof of him hating Chareidim without writing lies!

Friedlander in the above clip  taken from his column, totally dismisses a disgusting incident in Beit Shemesh where a Chareidie adult spat at "seven-year-old girl" on her way to school, and wrote that this incident "has not been confirmed." 

What an unmitigated liar! 

First of all, she was not "seven years old" she was eight years old, her name is Naama Margolis.

Here is a photo of the little girl with her mother Haddassa Margolis while being interviewed on TV. This story went viral and we have a BBC clip below!

Now here is the photo of the Chareidie Adult who did the spitting:

Elon Musk says he’s terminating $44B Twitter buyout deal ... Millions of Fake Accounts

 

Elon Musk’s tumultuous $44 billion bid to buy Twitter is on the verge of collapse — after the Tesla CEO sent a letter to Twitter’s board Friday saying he is terminating the acquisition. 

Twitter did not immediately respond to a message for comment. It is not entirely clear whether Twitter’s board will accept the $1 billion breakup fee or if there will be a court battle over the deal. 

The possible unraveling of the deal is just the latest twist in a saga between the world’s richest man and one of the most influential social media platforms. 

Much of the drama has played out on Twitter, with Musk — who has more than 95 million followers — lamenting that the company was failing to live up to its potential as a platform for free speech.

 On Friday, shares of Twitter fell 5% to $36.81, well below the $54.20 that Musk had offered to pay. Shares of Tesla, meanwhile, climbed 2.5% to $752.29.

 In a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Musk said Twitter has “not complied with its contractual obligations” surrounding the deal, namely giving Musk enough information to “make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter’s platform.”

Harvard University's campus is now a bastion of Jew Hatred

 

Harvard University provides its students with unparalleled knowledge, skills and experiences. Yet, as we Jewish students have witnessed, the routine vilification of the State of Israel — both inside and outside the classroom — indicates that something in Harvard’s contemporary education has gone seriously awry.

In the latest example of this trend, the editorial board of the Harvard Crimson endorsed the movement to boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish state in an April 29 editorial. BDS represents the economic arm of a global effort — spearheaded militarily by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran — to destroy the Jewish state.

China has helped spread four epidemics — and COVID’s not the last

 

Chinese researcher Dr. Shi Zhengli seen working in the Wuhan lab, which many researchers now believe was the origin of the coronavirus that swept the world in 2020.

By Steven W. Mosher

For more than two years we have lived through a pandemic that no one — no one who doesn’t fall for Communist Chinese propaganda anyway — doubts came from China.  

In fact, the consensus now is that COVID came from the Wuhan lab, something I wrote about in these pages at the outset of the outbreak. In recent months, many of those who had earlier parroted Beijing’s line about COVID coming from a bat cave, including China’s man at the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, have come over to my point of view.

At the same time, there is mounting evidence that the coronavirus was developed as part of China’s bioweapons program.

Israel grants residency visa to US Baruch Lanner convicted of sexually assaulting students

 

Baruch Lanner, the American rabbi who served nearly three years in prison for sexually assaulting students at a Jewish high school in New Jersey, has been granted a temporary residency visa that will allow him to stay in Israel while the country’s Interior Ministry reviews his request for citizenship.

Advocates for sexual abuse victims were aghast at the news, first reported by Haaretz on Thursday. While Israel’s Law of Return provides every Jew in the world the opportunity to apply for citizenship, Israel has withheld citizenship in the past from those with criminal records who are seen as posing a danger to the Israeli public.

Lanner and his second wife, who was granted citizenship, appeared in a video for the law firm that is handling the case, which alerted activists to his immigration status. In the video, in which Lanner and his wife’s faces are blurred, Lanner praises the attorney and declares, “I had some legal issues in the United States and I never thought I would be able to make aliyah,” Haaretz reported. The video has since been taken down.

In 2000, following reporting by the New York Jewish Week, Lanner’s former employer, the Orthodox Union, launched a probe indicating that Lanner was responsible for an array of sexual, physical and emotional abuse involving dozens of teenagers in his charge. He was convicted in 2002 of endangering the welfare of two girls during his time as principal of Hillel Yeshiva High School in Deal, New Jersey, in the 1990s.

Late last year, alleged victims filed a civil lawsuit against Lanner and his former employers under New Jersey law that allowed for a two-year “lookback” window during which sexual abuse victims could sue their abusers and their enablers.

A pending case like that should be reason enough to reconsider Lanner’s request for residency, said Shana Aaronson, director of Magen, an Israeli organization that advocates for sexual abuse victims, especially in the Haredi Orthodox community.

“It’s more than disheartening, it’s infuriating that despite efforts by organizations like mine and by various government agencies, the government would make such a morally bankrupt decision like this,” Aaronson said.

Magen has compiled and shared with authorities lists of as many as 100 accused and convicted offenders who have applied for and succeeded in getting Israeli citizenship or residency visas, Aaronson said. She said that she had known about Lanner’s intentions to move to Israel since 2019.

“We were aware of his history and recommended strongly that he not be granted citizenship,” she said. While Lanner served his time in the 2002 case, granting him citizenship would erase the relevance of his presence on the US sex offender registry and allow an abuser like him to “disappear into general society,” said Aaronson.

If granted citizenship, “Baruch Lanner could tomorrow walk into any school and apply for a job and be given a certificate of good standing from Israel law enforcement and get a job working with kids,” she said.

According to Haaretz, Lanner and his wife arrived in Israel as tourists and submitted their request for citizenship after landing, thereby circumventing the Jewish Agency, which handles citizenship requests in the United States and tends to reject those with criminal records. Lanner had been living variously in New Jersey and Florida.

“The details [of the Lanner case] will be thoroughly examined,” an Interior Ministry spokeswoman told Haaretz.

Zera Shimshon Parshas Balak

 

The Reason Moshe Rabbeinu Was Punished because they made him into a G-d when he was only a Rebbi

 

In Chutz Le'aretz, Jews will be listening to the baal korah read from Parshas Chukas this Shabbos. They will hear that Hashem tells Moshe Rabbeinu:

קח את המטה והקהל את העדה אתה ואהרן אחיך ודברתם אל הסלע לעיניהם ונתן מימיו והוצאת להם מים מן הסלע 

"Take the staff and gather together the assembly, you and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes that it shall give its water"

But what did Moshe actually do?

It seems from the following verses that Moshe did not follow instructions and made some mistakes.

ויקהלו משה ואהרן את הקהל אל פני הסלע ויאמר להם שמעו נא המרים המין הסלע הזה נוציא לכם מים? וירם משה את ידו ויך את הסלע במטהו פעמים ויצאו מים רבים 

"Moshe and Aaron gathered the congregation before the rock and he said to them "Listen now, You rebels, shall we bring forth water for you from this rock?" Then Moshe raised his arm and struck the rock with his staff twice, and abundant water came forth"

a)  Hashem told him "gather the assembly" and he gathered the "congregation."

b) Hashem told him to speak to the rock, yet he decided to hit the rock.

c) Moshe called them "rebels" 

d) Moshe when saying to them "shall we bring forth water for you from this rock?" made it seem like he had the ability to bring water from the rock, and should have instead said "only Hashem can bring water from a rock" The Torah then states that Hashem told both Moshe and Aaron 

"יען לא האמנתם בי להקדישני לעיני בני ישראל לכן לא תביאו את הקהל הזה אל הארץ אשר נתתי להם"

"Because you didn't believe in Me to sanctify Me in the eyes of the Children of Israel, therefore you will not bring this congregation to the Land that I have given them."

It was after this incident that Hashem decreed that Moshe & Aaron would not enter Eretz Yisrael.

Much ink has been spilled trying to make sense of what actually happened and what it was exactly that triggered Hashem to deny Moshe & Aaron entry into Eretz Yisrael, since it is not explicit in the verses.

Why did Hashem ask Moshe to take the stick and speak to the rock, which could have confused anyone? 

In fact way back in Parshas Beshalach in the city of Refidim, when the Jews were complaining about lack of water, Hashem tells him to take his stick and hit the rock. Isn't  understandable that Moshe would be confused? 

In fact the Ramban says Moshe didn't get punished because he hit the rock instead of speaking to it as Rashi suggests, because hitting the rock and getting water was still a great miracle. According to the Ramban Moshe's hitting the rock did not diminish the miracle one iota? 

The Ramban adds that the fact that Hashem didn't allow Moshe to enter the Land couldn't be because Moshe called the Jews "rebels," and it couldn't be because of Moshe's statement  that it  made it seem like he had the ability to bring water from the rock, and should have instead said "only Hashem can bring water from a rock" The Ramban goes in a very lengthy pilpul trying to get to the bottom of what really happened? 

The Ohr Hachayim Hakodosh is perplexed as well and quotes 10 different reasons from a variety of Rishonim on what exactly occurred and  also goes into a very lengthy explanation.

I want to suggest that the answer of what went wrong is in Moshe's last words to the Bnei Yisrael in Parshas Ve'eschanen days before his petirah.

Moshe seems to complain and states:

ויתעבר ה' בי למענכם "But Hashem became angry with me because of you!" (Rashi's translation)

It seems from these four words, that the reason that Moshe couldn't enter Eretz Yisrael was because of something that the Bnei-Yisrael did and had nothing to do with what Moshe did or said at Mei Merivah.

But we know that Moshe was not a complainer and especially not to Klall Yisrael, so what changed here?

It could possibly be that Moshe was not complaining at all but stating a fact. He simply said that he couldn't be the one to bring Klall Yisrael into Eretz Yisrael because of who they were. (this is not how  Rashi learns this verse).

 Let me explain.

The incident at Mei Meriva where Moshe hit the rock instead of speaking to it took place in the 40th year, just months before they would enter Eretz Yisrael. The older generation had already died in the desert because of the sin of the meraglim, and Klall Yisrael now, was a brand new generation who lived entirely on miracles. 

They had  heard about how Moshe brought plagues on the Egyptians, Krias Yam Suf, they didn't actually experience it. To them Moshe was more than "rabbeinu," to them Moshe was like a G-d!  What they experienced in the here and  now in the desert was a total miraculous existence and all thanks to Moshe!

When they heard Moshe Rabbeinu at Mei Merivah stating:  "shall we bring forth water for you from this rock?" It basically confirmed to them that if Moshe only wished, he, Moshe, could bring water from a rock. When they saw that instead of gathering an "assembly" like Hashem instructed, Moshe instead invited the entire "congregation" to witness the miracle that was about to occur they were convinced that he could possibly also be a "deity."

  Study the words that Hashem used when telling Moshe that he would not enter Hashem says

 לכן לא תביאו את הקהל הזה אל הארץ  "therefore you will not bring this congregation to the Land" You gathered the "congregation" instead of the "assembly" as I instructed, so  now you won't bring the "congregation" into Eretz Yisrael. Moshe had an opportunity at Mei Meriva to set the record straight that all miracles are from the One Above, but he failed in his mission, that's why Hashem told him:

"יען לא האמנתם בי להקדישני לעיני בני ישראל לכן לא תביאו את הקהל הזה אל הארץ אשר נתתי להם"

That is why Moshe told them days before his demise ויתעבר ה' בי למענכם  "Hashem wouldn't allow me to enter because of you" Because if I would be the one to bring you into Eretz Yisrael, you would eventually make me into a deity, into a G-d, and therefore "Hashem won't even allow you to know where I am buried. "

There is only One G-D and He is the one that brings water from a rock, He is the One who smote the Egyptians and split the sea. The older generation that knew Moshe when he was growing up in the house of Paro would never have thought to make him into a G-D! They knew that even though Moshe was the greatest prophet that ever lived, he was still human.

This should be a lesson for all of us, no rebbe or Rosh Yeshiva are Gods, they are all human and make mistakes. All these civil wars in Ger, Satmar, Viznits, Bobov, Sadegera, Ponovitz, etc are all about the mighty shekel and as Oin Pen Peles's wife told Mr. Oin... "no matter who wins this machlokas, be it Moshe or be it Korach, you will still be Mr. Oin! This is a message to the followers of these mere humans. No matter who wins, you will still have to go and punch a clock the next day, to bring parnassa into your homes. 

All those running to R' Shayele Krestirer or to the graves of other rabbis and spending huge amounts of money that go straight into the coffers of the grandchildren of the those who brutally murdered our grandparents should learn the message of Moshe Rabeinu Z'l ... He was human after all and we have no clue where he is buried!

The Gerer Rebbe is not G-d, R' Chaim Kanievsky wasn't G-d, and R' Yoel Teitelbaum wasn't a G-d! They are all prone to make mistakes and are not perfect. Once we realize and internalize this message we will be on our way to bring Mashiach speedily in our days. Amen!

Satmar Protesters in London Spark Outrage After Wearing Yellow Stars Against British Educational Directives

 

I wrote "satmar" because I recognize many of the protestors and they are all Satmar. Which is ironic, because both Satmar rabbis in New York endorsed Hochol for Governor and she has said many times that she supports LGBT education in the schools, yet her opponent Lee Zeldin opposes these mandates!

Bunch of hypocrites!

A demonstration by some 100 chareidim in London has sparked outrage after they wore yellow stars reminiscent of the Nazi period persecution of Jews. The chareidim were protesting British interference in chareidi education, with the new British laws requiring all educational systems to teach subjects which are taboo in chareidi circles. A number of chareidi schools which refused to teach these issues have been forced to close in the meantime.

The protesters, who are linked to the Rabbinical Committee of the Traditional Charedi Education, took part in the demonstration outside the International Ministerial Conference on Freedom of Religion in Westminster, at which Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss were among 700 attendees.

Ukraine Says No Visitors Allowed in Uman for Rosh Hashana

 

Tens of thousands of Breslover chassidim are reeling Thursday following an announcement from the Ukrainian ambassador to Israel that dashed any hopes of chassidim being able to visit the kever of Rebbe Nachman in Uman for Rosh Hashana.

“Due to concerns for the lives and well-being of the visitors to Ukraine and in light of the blatant Russian war in our country, despite all efforts, we can not guarantee the security of pilgrims and do not currently allow tourists and visitors to enter Ukraine,” the country’s ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk said in a statement.

“On this occasion, we address to you, because your prayers are important to us,” the statement continued. “Please pray that before Rosh Hashana the war in Ukraine, which broke out due to blatant and cruel Russian aggression, will come to an end, and pray for the victory of Ukraine.”

“We hope that the prayers will be fulfilled, and that Ukraine will once again be a country that generously receives visitors from Israel, and especially Jews who come to Ukraine to visit the graves of the righteous.”

The annual pilgrimage to the tziyon is a yearly highlight for an untold number of chassidim, whose davening during the Yomim Noraim is uplifted as they spend time near their revered Rebbe.

“It’s a devastating blow,” a Breslover chassid who routinely visits Uman. “We look forward to this literally every day of the year. And while we knew this was likely to happen, its confirmation is no less crushing.”

Israel Police: “Our Assumption Is That Moishe Is Alive”

 

Moishe’s parents and siblings went to Meron on Wednesday, 102 days after Moishe’s disappearance to daven at the kever of Reb Shimon Bar Yochai. Afterward, the Kleinermans met with the members of the Israel Dog Unit (IDU) team who are searching for Moishe.

The head of the Israel Dog Unit, Mike Ben-Yaakov, spoke to the Kleinermans about the ongoing search for their son.

Earlier on Wednesday, Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai held a situational assessment on Moishe’s case at the Ma’ale Adumim precinct. “We won’t give up until we learn what happened to Moishe and where he is,” he said. “Israel Police, as in any case of a missing person, certainly one who is at risk, is investing much resources in trying to locate him.”

“This is a complex investigation. Despite the fact that he was last seen in the Meron area, we’re not ruling out any location throughout the country where he could be found. Our investigation is examining various angles and we’re working on the assumption that Moishe is alive.”

The British perfidy: 100 years of lies, deceit and untruth and its corrupt Mandate

 

Will Israel act to reclaim its sovereign legal rights after a century of British corruption over their maladministration of the Mandate for Palestine?

This is a subject that irks me a great deal because collectively, we Jews, do not seem to have what it takes to hold tight to our sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Subverted Mandate For Palestine

After World War I, Great Britain received the power to be the holder, mind you a shameful one, of the Mandate for Palestine in the Land of Israel.

In order to understand the injustice that was done, we must remind ourselves and remember how that country treated Israel then and its current claim to Jerusalem today.

Britain’s Perfidy

Pursuing Great Britain receiving the Mandatary role for the Land of Israel, its first perfidy was to cease to apply the Mandate’s provisions to all of the mandate’s originally assigned territory. Those provisions had to do with “facilitating Jewish immigration” and “encouraging close settlement by Jews on the land.” However, those in control in Britain decided that these provisions would not apply to any of the Mandate’s territory east of the Jordan River.

That territory, today known as Jordan (then named Transjordan), constituted 78% of the area that was intended to be part of a future Jewish National Home, the state of Israel, and was closed off by Britain to Jews. In place of having Jews settle in their land, that territory was perfidiously stolen by Britain to become the Hashemite Tribe’s Emirate of Transjordan, created by the British to satisfy the Hashemite Emir Abdullah’s territorial ambitions.

'Justice' gone mad Bodega worker charged in fatal stabbing — after fighting back against attacker

 

A hard-working Manhattan bodega clerk who was forced to grab a knife to fend off a violent ex-con, now finds himself sitting behind bars at the notorious Rikers Island jail charged with murder and unable to post $250,000 bail.

The sky-high bail for Jose Alba — who has no known criminal history — was just half of what controversial Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office demanded, despite surveillance video showing the clerk being assaulted by his alleged victim in the bodega.

Alba, 51, was charged with the fatal stabbing of Austin Simon, 34, who can be seen storming behind the counter at the Hamilton Heights Grocery on Broadway and West 139th Street to attack the store worker Friday night.

The dead guy: Simon

“It was either him or the guy at the moment,” Alba’s daughter Yulissa told The Post Wednesday, saying it was a case of self-defense.

“He’s never hurt anybody. He’s never had an altercation where he had to defend himself. This is the first time for him.”

Bel fires in NYC. Unclear how this started or what day it was on . #news #NewYorkCity #NYC pic.twitter.com/jQ9voIhblW

— Viral News NY (@ViralNewsNYC) July 6, 2022

 Three raging customers trashed a Manhattan eatery in a caught-on-camera outburst over the weekend that left two employees injured, police said.

The wild scene took place at Bel Fries, a fry restaurant on Ludlow Street in the nightlife-centric Lower East Side, on Sunday at 4:10 a.m. and ended with the arrests of three women, according to the NYPD.

Shocking video of the mayhem posted to Twitter shows the trio of suspects hurling glass bottles, a metal stool and other items at employees, leaping over the counter, throwing sauce all over the restaurant and destroying a plastic barrier.

A crowd of people can be heard cheering and filming the chaos with their phones.

Their rowdy tirade started over the women’s anger at the eatery’s $1.75 fee for extra sauce, according to one report.

An employee who is filming the incident tells the women “you’re gonna go to jail” as they hurl items at him — all while an alarm is going off.

At one point, one of three women gives the employees the middle finger and in another moment, a different woman dances on top of the counter.

The trio caused more than $250 worth of damage to the business and injured a 33-year-old female employee and a male employee. Both suffered lacerations to their heads, according to cops.

Bel Fries was forced to shutter its doors to make repairs and recover from the incident and was still not open by Wednesday, according to its Instagram.

Police arrested the three women — Pearl Ozoria, 27, of Manhattan; Chitara Plasencia, 25, of Brooklyn and Tatiyanna Johnson, 23, of Brooklyn on robbery and criminal mischief charges.

Ozoria allegedly punched the cop arresting her in the face and was slapped with additional charges of assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct.

Plasencia and Johnson were each also charged with criminal possession of a weapon.

Shas MK Decides To Donate Kidney, Doctors Find And Remove Growth From His Own Kidney

 

MK Moshe Arbel recently decided to donate a kidney but did not realize that the implication of his decision may have saved his own life.

Arbel had contacted the Matnat Chaim organization founded by Rabbi Yishayahu Haber z’l which has in the past few years sponsored hundreds of kidney donations in Israel. The 38-year-old lawyer, who had previously served as Shas’s legal advisor before become a member of Knesset, started a procedure of tests to determine whether he was a worthy candidate for donating a kidney. However during the tests, an irregular growth was discovered in Arbel’s kidney and he recently underwent an operation to remove the growth.

A relieved Arbel made a celebratory Seudas Hodayah to thank Hashem for the miraculous discovery, which he would never have known of if he had not altruistically decided to donate a kidney.

Arbel said that “Israel is a powerhouse of chesed and leads the world in kidney donations. Hashem gave me the merit of wanting to join this amazing volunteer group and this led to the early discovery of a growth and my speedy recovery. I thank the public for their concern for my welfare and wish to relate that I feel well and thank the doctors for their speedy treatment.”

Agudath Yisrael And Degel HaTorah Eating Each Other Alive

 

Will the UTJ party split? 

Currently the splintered party does not have enough electoral power to split but certainly enough members to bicker and argue. The present dispute concerns the placements of MKs for the November elections, with both Agudath Yisrael and Degel Hatorah claiming the top spot, which influences the rest of the electoral list.

With the departure of Yaakov Litzman, Agudath Yisrael appointed Yitzchak Goldknopf in his place and assumes that according to previous agreements he will be in the top spot, since in the previous election Degel leader Moshe Gafni held the top position.

Agudah officials said after a meeting between faction heads that “an agreement is an agreement and we expect Degel Hatorah to respect it as we did in the previous elections.”

However Degel Hatorah is claiming that since the party was in opposition and only a year has passed since the previous elections, Moshe Gafni should continue to lead the party in the coming elections. Moreover the Degel Hatorah leaders are angry that Goldknopf, an unpopular person due to his employment tactics as head of the Beis Yaakov kindergartens, has been placed on the list and fear that voters will leave the party en masse if he heads the list.

Degel is also at odds with Belz which is now receiving funds from the Ministry of Education but not under the auspices of Chinuch Atzmai.

A final decision on whether Degel will run alone in the elections will be taken by Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, but with the current electoral polls it is unlikely that the two warring factions will be able to go alone.

Chilling New Audio Shows Adolf Eichmann Admitting to His Role in “Final Solution”

 

Newly released audio of Adolf Eichmann YM”S , the architect of the Nazi’s extermination of Jews who went to the gallows denying any wrongdoing, shows the evil mastermind admitting to being a critical cog in the machinery of the Nazi’s “Final Solution.”

Eichmann conducted 70 hours’ worth of interviews after fleeing Germany for Argentina, 15 of which have now been obtained by a dogged Israeli documentary team. The interviews were conducted secretly in 1957 by Willem Sassen, a Dutch Nazi sympathizer and propagandist.

“If we had killed 10.3 million Jews, I would say with satisfaction, ‘Good, we destroyed an enemy,'” Eichmann can be heard saying. “Then we would have fulfilled our mission.”

In another clip, Eichmann says: “Jews who are fit to work should be sent to work. Jews who are not fit to work must be sent to the Final Solution, period,” adding that he “did not care” if those sent to Auschwitz lived or died.

At one point, Eichmann can be hurt commenting about an insect in the room he was in, saying that it had a “Jewish nature.”

The audio recordings form part of the documentary “The Devil’s Confession,” on which $3 million was spent to produce.

Eichmann was captured by Mossad agents in Argentina in 1960 and transported to Israel where he was put on trial. He was convicted and hanged in 1962.

During his trial, Eichmann was adamant that he had nothing to do with the Final Solution.

“It’s a difficult thing that I am telling you and I know I will be judged for it,” he admitted. “But I cannot tell you otherwise. It’s the truth. Why should I deny it? Nothing annoys me more than a person who later denies the things he has done.”

Hisachdas Ha'Ganavim of Satmar Feeding "treifa Chickens" to its communities

 

I have to laugh, to Satmar the OU  and the Rabbanut is chazir treif, they eat Badatz exclusively. 

About five years ago, the Eida Hachreidis  came out with a statement that all chickens are treif except for the "brakel" chicken. Rav Moshe Yehuda Leib Landa z"l from Bnei-Brak  examined the chicken and ruled that this "eida hachrida" brakel chicken was "chazir treif." BTW those who ate this chicken said that it tasted "like road kill." 

The Satmar hooligans who invested millions in this new chicken breed then tried to intimidate Rav Landa but he basically told them to kiss him where the sun will never shine.

Satmar in coordination with the Hisachus Ha'ganavim have  now tried to sell another breed of chicken and will probably release a Kol Korah prohibiting the chickens that we all eat to push this new breed.

Not so fast! Lishkas Hakashrus came out with a statement that this new "Eida" breed is not kosher, signed by Harav Gruber shlitah. I hope Rabbi Gruber is not a member of "Defund the Police" because if anyone ever studied Satmar History, Rabbi Gruber's life is in mortal danger!

Over 50 shot in NYC shootings over July 4th weekend

 More than 50 people were shot — at least seven of them fatally — during a bloody outbreak of gun violence in the Big Apple over the Fourth of July weekend.

The victims cut across a wide spectrum of New Yorkers — from a pair of former college rugby players wounded while sitting in a cab in Midtown to a beloved 62-year-old Bronx neighborhood “grandfather” who was gunned down by stray bullets.

In all, 51 people were shot in 36 separate incidents since Friday, a huge jump from the 32 people shot in 27 shootings over the holiday weekend last year, NYPD statistics show.

Twenty-one of this year’s holiday weekend victims were shot on Monday’s 246th birthday of American independence, including John Edwards, who was known in his Belmont neighborhood as the “Grandfather of the Block.” By comparison, there were 13 people shot on July 4, 2021.

Consumed with Jew Hatred Ben & Jerry’s Sues Parent Company Unilever Over Sale Of Israeli Business

 

 Ben & Jerry’s is not letting go of its West Bank pullout goal without a fight — with its parent company.

The iconic ice cream brand has filed a lawsuit against Unilever over its decision last week to sell the Israeli arm of the business to Israel-based franchise, American Quality Products, Ltd., which will continue to sell Ben & Jerry’s in the West Bank.

Ben & Jerry’s says that Unilever’s decision was made without the brand’s board’s consent, and wrote in a statement on Tuesday that stopping the sale is necessary to protect “the social integrity that the ice cream brand has spent decades building.” The lawsuit will aim to block the sale.

After publicly critiquing the Unilever move last week, the Ben & Jerry’s board voted on Friday to file the suit, the New York Post reported.

“It’s a done deal,” American Quality Products, Ltd. owner Avi Zinger wrote in response. “Unilever chose the morally correct, socially just and principled path when it ensured that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream would always continue to be produced and sold in Israel and the West Bank.”

The Ben & Jerry’s board, which has a history of social justice advocacy, made the decision to stop selling its products in what they call “Occupied Palestinian Territory” following Israel’s deadly conflict with Hamas in May 2021. Unilever originally stated that it had little power over decisions made by Ben & Jerry’s board, which makes its recent decision to sell a surprise.

Disparaging the State of Israel is a shortcoming that seemingly justifies remaining in the Diaspora today

 

Translation of major points of a televised lecture given by Rabbi Eliyahu, Chief Rabbi of Tsfat, in which he emphasizes the importance of declaring the praises of Eretz Yisrael in rectifying the Sin of the Spies who spoke disparagingly about the Cherished Land, a shortcoming still prevalent today. 

HaRav Yosef Caro explains that Moshe sent the Spies to tour the Land of Israel in order that they return full of its praises and thus ignite a passionate yearning for the Land throughout the Nation. This loving fire in their hearts for the Promised Land would then burn away all impurity remaining from the sin of the Golden Calf, making them worthy of entering and conquering the exalted Holy Land.

In the book, “Eim HaBanim Semeicha,” HaRav Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal teaches that just as the Spies went from tent to tent, spreading negative propaganda about the Land of Israel, so we must follow their example - in order to rectify their transgression, we have to do the counteraction of going house to house, shul to shul, community to community, speaking in praise of the Land to inspire Jews to yearn to dwell there.
