Chareidie Extremists Take Over City of Elad and Assault Woman For Sitting in Front Row of Bus

 

 It sounds hard to believe in 2022. But a young Israeli woman was verbally and physically assaulted by Charedi extremists for choosing to sit in the front row of a public bus.

Although she does not need an excuse, the woman says she had motion sickness and felt nauseous sitting in the back.

In an interview with Israeli news site Ynet, the resident of Elad said she was traveling to Jerusalem on the Kavim public bus line when the men began to abuse and ridicule her.

A short video clip shows one of the assailants saying, “We are Jews and do not want to sit next to a woman,” and the other yelling at the driver, “If you are such a good driver, don’t let women sit in the front.”

The woman said that nobody on the bus attempted to defend her other than the driver. She said an extremist branch of Charedim have recently moved in and are terrorizing women in the city.

“I took a seat at the front of the bus because I suffer from car sickness and sitting in the back makes me nauseous,” she said. “At one point, a group of 20 men who belong to an extremist Charedi sect boarded the bus and ordered me to move to the back. When I refused, they began yelling at me, pulling my hair and finally one man took off his shoe and shoved his dirty sock in my face,” she said.

“I was very nervous and tried to call the police and had to get up for better phone service, but the men blocked my way. They yelled at me and called me a shiktza. I really believed something bad would happen to me,” she said.

The victim was quite traumatized. “The violence and humiliation were so bad, I do not wish it on anyone,” she said. “Even a three-year old called me a shiktza and told me to put clothes on. I came home shaking.”

The woman explained that she has no issue with Charedim in general, only people like these fanatical extremists.

“I come from a religious home and understand the sensibilities of the community and would never stand against the ultra-Orthodox. I am only opposed to the extremists who are harassing us on the streets or on public transportation and try to change our city.”

Rare Footage of Jewish Life before World War II

 This video - although historically significant - is beyond sad and tragic. Such beautiful, innocent people just living their lives ignorant of the horrors to come. The senselessness of what occured soon after is beyond comprehension

Watch Zev Jabotinsky Speak in Yiddish

 

On the anniversary of his death, here is part of a video by Ze’ev Jabotinsky, from 1934, as he talks about the Land of Israel on both sides of the Jordan river, in Yiddish.


Finally Jerusalem Muncipality Suing the "Light Train Hooligans and extortionists"


The Jerusalem Municipality and the company carrying out the railway work are demanding NIS 5 million from demonstrators who allegedly rioted. 

For almost two years now, demonstrations have been held on a regular basis against the construction of the light rail on Bar-Ilan Street in Jerusalem. Yesterday, the Jerusalem Municipality and Moriah, which is responsible for the work, filed huge lawsuits against 17 Haredim who they claim were the leaders of the demonstrators.

From each demonstrator, the municipality and the works company, demand NIS 300,000. In total, the lawsuit demands five million shekels from all the demonstrators against whom the lawsuit was filed together. 

To date, a total of 23 lawsuits have been filed.  These lawsuits are against protesters who blocked roads and tractors and but caused no damage. Moriah hopes this might stop the protesters.

"The malicious motives, which underlie the activities of this 'group of rioters,' cannot be understood, except that the defendants and their friends are acting out of hooliganism and extortion motives, all this for personal and hidden favors for the group's leaders," the lawsuit states, among other things.

"In this context, the rioters use the method of causing damage and complete destruction of fences, construction equipment, tools and all that entails. The rioters and the defendant gather along the route of the works for countless hours, adjacent to the work tools and work vehicles operated on behalf of the plaintiff, and even crawl under them, all with the clear aim of damaging the equipment, stopping the work and delaying them as much as possible."

In addition, the State Attorney's Office filed an indictment yesterday against another protester, a resident of Ashdod, at the age of 20, after he broke into the construction site of the light rail line in Jerusalem about a week ago.

According to the indictment, while mass demonstrations were taking place near the site of the work for the development of the light rail line, the accused entered the work site together with others and settled there in order to prevent further development work. The accused, who was holding a tallit and tefillin, cigarettes and a holy book in case he was arrested, did not leave the area despite repeated calls from the police officers to evacuate the area. The accused even smoked a cigarette and looked at a book he had brought with him, while sitting in the morning ignoring the calls of the police officers. After some time, when the pleas of the officers did not help, the accused was forcibly evicted from the work site by police officers and arrested.

The indictment charges the defendants with committing offenses of trespass in order to commit an offense and interfering with a police officer in the performance of his duties.

R' Tuvia Weiss Funeral Marred by Violent Infighting

 





 So the civil war within the Eida Hachareidis continues unabated and inevitably spilled into the levaye itself.

As we explained yesterday, R' Moshe Shterbuch Shlitah who is the current Raavad of the Extremists Eida Hachareidis ruled that a certain site in Beit Shemesh was free from any Jewish bones after giving the site a thorough inspection and allowed the developer to build a beautiful development in Ramat Avraham. The Asra Kadisha was livid with this ruling, not because they found Jewish bones. No.... they were upset because the developer refused to give into extortion and instead gave the Asra Kadisha Mafia the middle finger. 

They were able to convince the old feeble and weak Gaavad, R' Tuvia Weiss z"l to rule that this was graves of Jews that died there some 3,000 years ago. And he put a "fatwa" against building there without having ever set foot in the area.

 To bolster and strengthen their position the Weiss Extremist started physically harassing Rav Shternbuch and bombarding him with fresh raw eggs and shouting "YM"S" "Sheigatz." Then they took some lessons from Krystal Nacht, stealing Rav Shternbuch's sefarim from nearby shuls and burned them in a huge bonfire in front of his home, they even had their Satmar colleagues harass R' Shternbuch when he visited Williamsburg. And like the Gestapo they went to Golobnezitz's home in Har Nof and when Mrs Golobnezitz opened the door, they beat her to a pulp. 

A reader let me know that R' Chaim Kanievski had also ruled that they could build on the site.

This harassment campaign continues to this day even after the late R' Weiss begged them to stop. 

At the levaya, when R' Shternbuch made the hespid,  the Weiss followers started screaming and shouting trying to embarrass R' Shterbuch shlita, which triggered a physical battle. This continued for a good 10 minutes. 

The Weiss faction of the Eida Hachreidis are fearful that Askanim will appoint Rav Shternbuch as "Gaavad" I guess a step up from being Raavad. That would be the natural thing to do, because if they brought an outsider to fill that position, the Shernbuch faction would be outraged. If this should happen, the Eida Hachreidis would be permanently split, G-d Forbid.

I wish them both Hatzlacha!

Lawyer Accuses Judge that fined a Holocaust Survivor $159,000, an "Anti-Semite"

 

The lawyer representing congregants in a long-running dispute over perennial  anti-Israel and antisemitic protests outside their Ann Arbor synagogue on Saturday mornings has accused the federal judge presiding over the case of herself being antisemitic. 

The U.S. Supreme Court declined this spring to hear the case, which pits the protesters’ First Amendment right of free expression against the worshippers’ First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion. Lower courts had dismissed the lawsuit the congregants filed in 2019, and U.S. District Court Judge Victoria Roberts ordered them to pay $159,000 in legal fees.

“Considering all of her rulings, taken together in their entirety, the appearance of antisemitism is undeniable,” the lawyer, Marc Susselman, wrote in a brief filed Thursday appealing the order. 

Susselman noted that one of the plaintiffs is an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, and that some of the protesters also picketed outside a Holocaust museum on Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2014 with signs saying “Free Ernst Zundel,” the author of a book titled “The Hitler We Knew and Loved,” who was jailed in Germany for Holocaust denial and inciting racial hatred. (Zundel died in 2017.)

The protests began in 2003 outside an Ann Arbor building that houses services for both the Conservative Beth Israel Congregation and the Pardes Hannah Congregation, which is affiliated with the Jewish Renewal movement. Neither congregation was involved in the lawsuit; Jewish groups including Agudath Israel of America, the Rabbinical Council of America and the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce filed briefs supporting the plaintiffs.

In his latest court filing, Susselman questioned how the judge arrived at the amount of the legal fee —$158,721 — and how the protesters’ signs with slogans including   “Resist Jewish Power,” “Jewish Power Corrupts,” and “No More Holocaust Movies” could be protected as addressing “issues of public concern.” 

“This is not an issue that may be minimized, rationalized, or swept under the  carpet,” Susselman wrote. 

“The specter of the appearance of racial, ethnic or religious bias in the rulings of any judge, regardless of the judge’s own race, ethnicity or religion, must be forthrightly addressed, investigated and, if sustained, sanctioned,” he added. (Judge Roberts is Black.) “When such bias seeps into the judiciary, it becomes a cancer which undermines the administration of  justice in this country.”

Askanim at the Funeral of Harav Weiss Warn Beit Shemesh Residents Not to go Near His Casket!


To the extremist right wing Chareidim, the 9 days mean absolutely nothing, they see fit to continue with their endless bickering and fake piety. 

Since "officially" they don't own smartphones, the askanim established a phone number to keep the sheep informed on a minute-by-minute basis where the levaye was and how it was progressing. 

The phone recording had a message for Beit Shemesh residents that live in the Ramat Avraham section:

"Don't go near or (G-d Forbid) touch the casket! "

The dispute goes back at least 9 years when a developer by the name of Golobnezitz decided to put up a development in Beit Shemesh and called it "Ramat Avraham." The minhag is that when a developer chooses a site to build, he informs the Asra Kadisha mafia, and they supposedly inspect the site to make sure that there are no Jewish bones around. After the developer shells out millions of shekels the mafia gives the developer the permission to proceed.

This Golobnezitz or whatever he calls himself decided to bypass the mafia and brought down Raavad of the Eida Hachreidis, R' Moshe Shternbuch Shlita to the site, and after doing a thorough inspection R' Shternbuch ruled that the site was kosher, no Jewish bones anywhere close. He even wrote a lengthy "teshuva" to support his ruling. R' Chaim Kanievski was also approached about this issue and after looking into the situation, ruled that the site was "kosher." 

The Asra Kadisha Mafia went berserk and forced and intimidated the Gaavad of the Eida Hachreidis, the now deceased R' Tuvia Weiss z"l to overrule his partner in the Eida, R' Moshe Shernbuch, which he did.

But R' Moshe Shternbuch refused to back down and gave the signal to the developer to continue building, which he did and built a brand-new town called Ramat Avraham where thousands of Beit Shemesh residents live. 

The Weiss followers started protesting at the development on a daily basis and intimidated even the little children of the residents on their way to school. These protests continue to this day; the crazed Weiss followers will not do any shidduchim with those living in Ramat Avraham.

When the Weiss followers saw that they were totally ignored by everyone, they began a violent harassment campaign against their very own Harav Shternbach, a Rav of their Eida Hachreidies.  For example, they went and stole Rav Shternbuch's "shaalos & teshuvois" from nearby shuls and set them all on fire in front of Rav Shternbach's home ala Krystal Nacht. Another example, when Harav Shternbach visited Williamsburg a few years ago, he had to stop his visit midway, because the police warned him that they could no longer protect him from the crazed Satmar mobs, who were backing the Asra Kadisha Mafia under the jurisdiction of Harav Weiss z"l. Rav Shernbuch wasn't fazed and even had one of his children move to Ramat Avraham for good measure. 

Even though the Ramat Avraham residents basically defied the Gavvad Harav Weiss z"l they still respected him as a tzaddik, after all R' Weiss was the Gaavad of the Eida Hachreidis. They felt that they were following Daas Torah by moving into the development, following the repeated rulings of Harav Shternbuch Shlita who was and still is the Raavad of the extreme Eida Hachreidis.

Now that Rav Weiss passed away during the 9 days, the Weiss followers decided to continue the minhag of their ancestors the notorious Kamtaza bar Kamtza (minyani de'yoimie) and issued a "fatwa' against the residents of Ramat Avraham, Beit Shemesh, that they stay clear of the levaya and the casket. 

As of this writing the extremists have not named a successor, which is usually done at the levaya.

Earlier this morning, there were clashes between a group of Eida Hachareidis who came to participate in the funeral procession and police forces near the rabbi's house in Jerusalem. The extremists called the police "Nazis" and "murderers".

 Just that you know, the residents of Ramat Avraham are followers of the Eida Hachreidis and are extremists themselves.

Reb Luzy Steinmetz of Flatbush Passes Away


The Flatbush community as well as the rest of the world suffered a tremendous loss on Friday afternoon, when long time Flatbush resident Rabbi Luzy Steinmetz Z”L was Niftar after battling a long illness.

Luzy may have just been in his mid forties, but his accomplishments surpassed his age. He was a long standing Mispallel at Khal Bnei Torah led by Rav Bentzion Shiffenbauer. He was a graduate of Yeshiva Torah Temimah and a talmid of Yeshivahs Mir in Yerushalayim and Yeshiva Torah Vodas in Flatbush.

Luzy encompassed all 3 pillars that we learn about in Pirkei Avos; Torah-Avodah-Gemilas Chessed.

He embodied Torah as a long time Daf Yomi Magid shuir, as well as always ready to enlighten his friends and those around him with a good vort.

His Avodah was something to admire. His tefiila and kedushas Bais Hamedrish was admirable. His Simchas Hachaim was obvious to all who knew him, every day and especially on Shabbos.

Lastly, Luzy was a tremendous Baal chessed without ever needing recognition. His chessed helped many people in need, all without mention that Luzy was behind it all.

Rosh Chodesh Av is a day that the Mishnah writes “we begin to diminish joy” as we enter Aveilus for the 1st and 2nd Bais Hamikdosh. Rosh Chodesh in general is a day of celebration, and even though it’s the beginning of the 9 days of mourning, we still say Hallel and celebrate the day as we do every Rosh Chodesh.

It is also the Yartzeit of Aron Hakoen, who was a rodef shalom.

It is no coincidence that Luzy’s passing is on Rosh Chodesh and sharing the same Yartzeit as Aron Hakoen.

Luzy was a true Rodeph Shalom, someone who always had a smile on his face and filled the room with joy.

May this Rosh Chodesh be a new beginning, a beginning of Gueula, a beginning of building the Bais Hamikdosh quickly.

Levaya for ר’ חיים אלעזר ע”ה בן ר’ שמשון אריה נ”י will take place Sunday at 11am at Shomrei Hadas and Kevurah will be in Eretz Yisroel.

May His family, friends and all those that knew him have a Nechamah.

US Has Only 800 Billionaires but Biden Hires 87,000 IRS Agents ????

 

Rabbi Yitzhak Tuvia Weiss ztz"l, the head of the Eidah Hachareidit, has passed away

 




The Ga'avad of the Eidah Hachareidit of Jerusalem, the head of the haredi Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem, Rabbi Yitzhak Tuvia Weiss ztz"l, has passed away at the age of 95.

Rabbi Weiss had been hospitalized in serious condition for several days before passing away during Shabbat, in Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in the capital.

A decision regarding the time of the funeral will be made shortly; it will be held either on Saturday night or on Sunday.

Rabbi Weiss served as Ga'avad for 19 years, moving to Jerusalem from Belgium in order to take on the position. He was born in what was then Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia), and escaped the Holocaust by being placed on the famous Kindertransport and arriving in London, where he remained for many years, becoming a prominent rosh kollel and later the rabbi of the Etz Chaim synagogue.

Rabbi Weiss moved to Antwerp where he lived for 37 years and became a dayan (rabbinical judge) on the Antwerp Beit Din (rabbinical court). In 2003, he was selected as Ga'avad of the Eidah Hachareidit of Jerusalem, to replace his predecessor, Rabbi Yisrael Moshe Dushinsky ztz"l.

May his memory be for a blessing.

Political correctness helped turn monkeypox into a global emergency

 Watch as the cannot say the word "Gay" when it comes to Monkeypox





 In late May, Conde Nast’s LGBT site them.us went out of its way to distance a nascent viral scourge known as monkeypox from the main demographic who was catching it — gay men. 

The piece headlined, “The Monkeypox Virus Is Affecting Queer Men, but Has Nothing to Do With Being Queer,” stated that “while a large fraction of those infected in [the] current global outbreak identify as gay or bisexual men… there is no correlation between the identity and the illness.

“Blaming the gay community or gay behavior,” it concluded, “is not sound public health.”

Last week, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a full-scale global emergency as the disease has spread rapidly in just three months. In late May, 100 people reportedly had the virus; now there are more than 18,000 cases worldwide, with nearly 4,000 in the US alone, according to the CDC

New York state is also now calling monkeypox an “imminent threat.”What you need to know about Monkeypox

Anyone know this guy?


 By Rabbi Yair Hoffman for 5tjt.com

The person pictured above, Mordechai Ovadia, has left his wife without a Get for ten years.  He has been missing for the past eight years.  His wife has no way of contacting him.  There is a Seruv out on him, and he appears in the weekly column of the Jewish Press of those under a Seruv.  But unless someone who knows where he is reaches out, then Mrs. Ovadia will be stuck- never to be able to halachically remarry.

Recalcitrant husbands and their supporters must ask themselves – is this what Hashem wants?   Do they and their supporters want Jewish women, particularly those who are dedicated to observing Jewish law, to suffer more than other women in their position?  Ten years is an incredibly long time.

Also, what have they accomplished over all of this time?  Have they enamored themselves to their children?  To others?  Have they created Kiddush hashem?

So please, if you do see him or know where Mordechai Ovadia is – contact one of the organizations that deals with these things such as  https://www.thelev.org/  or  Ora – https://www.getora.org/contact

Zera Shimshon Mattos Massai

 


Chareidim told by Jordanian Border Guards to cut of their Peyos before Entering Jordan

I have to laugh.
 Chareidim hate the Zionist Government and would rather live under the Jordanian Government. In fact a big rebbe wrote a sefer where he suggests that Eretz Yisrael should be either under the UN auspices or under Jordanian rule. What an idea! Some people today repeat this nonsense. 

A group of Haredi tourists denied entry into Jordan on Tuesday claim that they were humiliated by the Jordanian border guards, who demanded that they cut off their payos [sidelocks]. However, the Israel Airports Authority (IAA), which oversees the Yitzhak Rabin Crossing, claims that group members were “disruptive” and attempted to bring food across the border in violation of a Jordanian ban.

The group was on its way to visit Jebel Haroun, traditionally believed to be the burial place of Aaron the High Priest.

The IAA put out a statement saying that “A group of Haredi Israelis were not allowed into Jordan because of disruptive behavior at the border crossing to Jordan in response to Jordan’s refusal to allow them to bring food with them. “Despite warnings by border terminal staff, they decided to take the food with them,” the IAA said.

Haim Goldberg, a writer and photographer for the Haredi news site Kikar HaShabbat, said that the Jordanians on duty at the border crossing told the group that only after they cut off their peyot [sidelocks] would they be allowed into the country.

“I’m with a group of Haredim who are stuck at the Jordanian border, and what’s happening here is delusional,” wrote Goldberg.

“We arrived at the crossing on time, but the moment the Jordanians picked up we were Jewish, the trouble started. The Jordanians are trying to ask people to cut off their peyot. Everyone here is undergoing humiliating searches, while those who don’t look Jewish are allowed to cross without any problem. The only disturbance at the Jordanian border that the IAA spokesman talked about in the press release was by the Jordanians, who use force against anyone who takes pictures or wants to,” he continued.

Every year, a few hundred Haredim visit Jordan at the beginning of the Hebrew month of Av to take part in a modest ceremony honoring Aaron, Moses’s older brother and the first High Priest. Long-standing tradition holds that Aaron is buried at Jebel Haroun in southwest Jordan, near Petra.

Tuesday’s incident was not the first time the Jordanians have allegedly refused entry to visitors clearly identifiable as Jews by their dress or ritual objects.

Rabbi Yaakov Herzog, who calls himself the rabbi of Saudi Arabia, posted a video in which he explains that Jewish visitors can bring tefillin and prayer shawls into Jordan, despite them being banned.

“This week is the yahrtzeit of Aaron the High Priest, and of course people want to go to Jordan to visit his grave,” said Herzog. “You know that frequently, the Jordanians make problems over tefillin, prayer books and other Jewish items. I was at the border this week and they tried to do the same thing to me. I insisted, I sat with them for hours, and I proved they have no law about that,” he said.



 

London Community Hires Guards with Dogs to Protect their Eirav from the "eirav rav"

 


The Chareidie extremists are becoming bolder and bolder, because the "oilim goilim" would just ignore them and say that they are just a bunch of "mashigaim." 

In Israel they damage equipment worth millions of shekels, equipment that is used to build the Light Rail. They block traffic every single day. The inmates have taking control of the asylum. This is happening because the silent majority does absolutely nothing. It is going to get a lot worse if we don't eradicate these parasites from our midst.

ובערת הרע מקרבך

In London, these bearded "eirav rav" don't want the community to live in harmony. If you don't hold from the Eiruv, don't carry. What is it your business if someone else has their own poisik that ruled that the eiruv is just fine?

If a goy would have ripped down the eiruv, we would all be screaming. 

Time to take back the streets from these barbarians. 

With the outbreak of coronavirus, an Eiruv was established in the Tottenham district of London for the first time, due to the need to make minyanim in unfamiliar places which did not previously have an eiruv.

The eiruv was established by the Kedassia Beis Din of London which provided halachic authority for the eiruv. However due to pressure from various groups opposing the eiruv, the Kedassia decided to delay the establishment of the eiruv. However those who initiated the eiruv said that it was already running and found another rabbi who is an expert in eiruvin to provide authorization for it.

The Kedassia requested a two-week break to add extra stringencies to the eiruv and afterwards the eiruv continued to exist for the past two years despite some incidents of vandalism by extremist elements.

Currently there are some 1800 chareidi families in the Tottenham district. Initially only women would carry but now almost everyone including Satmar and Bobov chasidim use the eiruv.

The Kedassia eiruv relies on two parks and a river nearby to create three mechitzos (borders) and make the eiruv even more halachically valid. However there are three streets which fall outside the three mechitzos and required a separate solution. These streets made their own eiruv in the meantime until Kedassia found a solution for them. However Kedassia did not like the ad hoc eiruv and some extremist elements affiliated with Kedassia attempted to vandalize the eiruv. In response, local residents hired a guard company to protect the eiruv.

In another situation which arose in the neighborhood, a local woman not included in the “three mechitzos” who needed an eiruv established one on her own street with the help of certain local rabbis and hired a company with guard dogs to protect the eiruv. Local elements opposed to the new eiruv removed the wooden board at the entrance to the street but the woman placed it minutes before shabbos and this enabled her and the other residents to carry on shabbos, although there were a number of arguments and fights between those who opposed the eiruv and those who favored it.

The London askanim are working hard to solve the problem and establish the final borders of the eiruv to include those streets which are not part of the three mechitzos. This will hopefully defuse tensions between those who favor eiruv and those who oppose it.


Belzer Rebbe Mocks Satmar Rebbe by Visiting with President Herzog

 

R' Zalman Leib, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg suggested that the Belzer Rebbe is an "apikoras" for taking money from the "Medina" this past week. The Belzer has a long memory and remembers very well when Satmar called him "ym"s a word reserved for Hitler ym"s when he visited Boro Park some 40 years ago. Yesterday the Belzer Rebbe met with the Zionist leader the Honorary President Herzog in apparent slap at the Satmar Rebbe's 'Naarishe" drasha that was filled with "shteesim and havalim." 

Israeli President Issac Herzog met with the Belzer Rebbe at his home on Wednesday.

UTJ MK Yisrael Eichler also participated in the meeting.The two discussed a variety of topics, including Ahavas Yisrael, especially during Bein Hameitzarim.

Herzog gifted the Rebbe with a biography of his illustrious grandfather, Chief Rabbi HaRav Yitzchak HaLevi Herzog, which includes an account of the rescue of the Belzer Rebbe HaRav Aharon of Belz and his brother, Rav Mordechai of Bilogray, from Nazi Europe.

Rav Herzog was instrumental in obtaining the necessary documents for the Rebbe’s entry to Eretz Yisrael. When the Rebbe finally reached Aleppo, Syria, HaRav Herzog, who was then on a secret trip to Turkey to rescue Jewish children, especially arranged the trip so he could greet the Rebbe in Aleppo, where he was again instrumental in assisting the Rebbe by intervening with the Syrian authorities.

Rabbi Mutzafi: 99% Of Beggars Aren’t Paupers, Hoard Money For Themselves

 

DIN: I don't agree with the rabbi, I believe giving to anyone who stretches out his arm . A shekel won't hurt anyone.

 During a question-and-answer session which took place Wednesday night with Rabbi Bentzion Mutzafi, a prominent Sephardi posek, he was asked about giving charity to beggars.

The woman who asked said that she tries to be tight on expenses and to maintain caution in spending her husband’s hard-earned money. However her husband gives money to every beggar and buys things for others who promise to return them and sometimes forget to. She asked whether her husband is obligated to give to beggars.

Rabbi Mutzafi responded that “99% of those who beg for money are not paupers and don’t use the money, they have ‘hoarding syndrome’ and like ants gathering food, they wish to accumulate money for themselves.”

Rabbi Mutzafi added that “more than two thirds of them use the money for alcohol, drugs and other evil vices, may G-d save us from them. It is forbidden to give them any money.”

Suspect named in case of missing child Moishe Kleinerman

 

The name of a suspect in the case of missing teenager Moishe Kleinerman was cleared for publication Thursday. The suspect has been identified as 35-year-old Jerusalem resident Salmon Abramov,

Three suspects have been arrested in the case so far. The names of the other two suspects have not been cleared for publication. On Monday, the Judea and Samaria District police arrested the third suspect, who has been known to hang out in the area around Meron where Moishe was seen. He was interrogated throughout the night, but did not provide any information that led to any new developments in the case.

Moishe Kleinerman, a 16-year-old boy from Modi'in Ilit, has been missing for 124 days, since Lag B'Omer when he visited Meron, where the grave of the Talmudic sage Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai is located.

Last week, Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said: "We will not give up until we discover what happened to Moshe and where he is. The Israeli police, as in any case of a missing person, certainly one who is at risk, invests a great deal of effort in trying to locate him. "

"The Judea and Samaria District is carrying out,, together with all relevant factors, all the necessary actions. This is a complex investigation that began with a report of his disappearance, and although he has been seen in the Meron area in the past, we do not rule out any place around the country where he may be and in our working assumptions all directions are being examined. The starting point is that Moishe is alive. We will continue our efforts to locate him and invest large forces to this effect alongside the other tasks of the Israel Police. "

Zelensky the Ukrainian Going After the Jews Now

 

Three powerful and prominent Jews in Ukraine appear to have had their citizenship stripped as their long-simmering conflict with President Volodymyr Zelensky has reached a boiling point amid the war with Russia. Last week, Zelensky reportedly either revoked or took steps to revoke the Ukrainian citizenship of two of the country’s best known oligarchs, Igor Kolomoisky and Hennadiy Korban, as well as that of Vadim Rabinovich, a former tycoon turned opposition lawmaker.

The three men are among the wealthiest Jews in Ukraine, and the official reason for the move appears to be that they hold foreign citizenship — including in Israel. Dual citizenship is technically illegal in Ukraine but is widely tolerated in practice.

Several alternate theories are also circulating, including that Zelensky is purging oligarchs with checkered pasts in an effort to prove to the United States and other Western countries that Ukraine has no tolerance for corruption.

Parents of boy killed in Car Accident Claim That This Was a Deliberate Act of Arab Terrorism

 

The six-year-old boy who was killed in an accident on Highway 60 near the Ma’ale Levona junction on Wednesday evening is Matan Zinman from the town of Shvut Rachel in the Binyamin region.

Matan was supposed to begin first grade in a month.

A preliminary investigation revealed that a Palestinian Arab vehicle crossed into the opposite lane and collided head-on with the vehicle in which Zinman was traveling with his mother and three brothers.

The mother, Rivka Zinman, and her four children were all evacuated for treatment at hospitals in Jerusalem. Matan arrived at the hospital in critical condition. Doctors fought for hours to save his life, but he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

The mother is in moderate condition, a 12-year-old girl is in serious condition, a 10-year-old boy is moderately injured and a six-month-old baby is lightly injured.

Rivka Zinman, who was driving the car with her children, said from the hospital on Wednesday evening, "We were driving on Highway 60 to a family gathering in Ariel. Suddenly a white Palestinian car emerged from the opposite lane and sped in front of me. I slowed down but the Palestinian car sped up. I realized it was going to hit me head-on and I was unable to stop. The collision was at an enormous speed. I lost my Matan to Arab terrorism on the road."

The professional teams of the Binyamin Regional Council and the community of Shvut Rachel are looking after the needs of the family and the community. Social workers are accompanying the family members in the various hospitals.

Rabbi Shalom Cohen who Called Kipa Seruga Wearing Jews .."amaleikim" now wants Yeshivois to throw out Students who have a Smartphone

 

Rabbi Cohen is the leading Sephardi Rabbi and is also the Rosh Yeshiva of the Porat Yosef and Avnei Nezer Yeshivois but what is important to mention is that he is the spiritual leader of Shas the Sephardie political party founded by R' Ovadia Yosef z"l.

He is known to make outrageous comments such as stating that Frum Jews that are Shoimrei Torah Umitzvois who wear Tefillin every day and who scrupulously observe mitzvois but who wear a knitted wool kipah, are "amaleikim."

 In 2014, at a "Yom Tefilah" rally during the Israel-Gaza conflict, he told the open-mouthed soldiers that were starving for some words of chizuk  "Do you think that Israel needs an army?" this during a war that killed 85 young IDF soldiers and wounded 2,639 some with lifelong injuries.

 He also issued a "fatwa" prohibiting Chareidie woman from undertaking post-high-school studies at academic colleges.

Now what's interesting is that if you asked any Satmar Chasid or Toldos Aaron Chassidim what they think of Rabbi Cohen, they would un-doubtedly answer that he is a "meen and apikoras" since he is the leader of the Shas Party that sits in the Zionist Knesset that Satmar call a "gathering of meenin and apikorsim"

So why did he make this comment at this time? 

Rabbi Cohen, as we saw above, cannot control himself and "shoots from the hip" so to speak, and doesn't want anyone recording his outrageous comments. 


Ahead of the new school year, Avnei Nezer Yeshiva dean Rabbi Zamir Cohen met with the head of Shas' Council of Torah Sages, yeshiva dean Rabbi Shalom Cohen, who warned of the "dangers of technology" in the yeshiva world.

"A young man who has an iPhone should be removed from the yeshiva, since this is the root of all the corruption and damage to all the students in the yeshiva, and even to the desecration of Shabbat (the Sabbath), my G-d spare us, stem from this," Kikar Hashabbat quoted Rabbi Cohen as saying.
