Dan Goldman leads a crowded field of candidates in the Democrat primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District, which includes Boro Park.
In a new poll from PIX11/Emerson College Polling/The Hill, Goldman was chosen by 22% of Democrat voters. Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, a notorious BDS supporter, had 17%.
Goldman was endorsed by Bobov leadership on Sunday, the first endorsement from a major Orthodox group in the district.
Goldman is well-known as the prosecutor who helped Democrats lead the first impeachment effort against President Trump
Minister of Transportation and chairman of the Labor Party, Merav Michaeli, has taken on a fight against the discrimination of women on public transportation in haredi-religious cities such as Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, and Bnei Brak.
In these cities, there are bus lines catering to the strict rules of modesty of the religious sector by having men and women sit separately or even having separate buses for each gender. Separate seating is voluntary by law, but women who sit among the men in a gender-segregated bus can be made to feel uncomfortable enough to move.
To combat this practice, five to ten undercover inspectors will travel on the buses to identify cases of gender segregation. Each inspector will work on 20 lines.
Dr. Aliza Bloch, Mayor of Beit Shemesh, commented on the initiative in an interview with Radio 103FM, "I don't even know where this idea came from. The public transportation crisis is so great in my area that people who want to leave the city are not sure they will even have a bus there or back. There is a complete lack of trust in the public transportation system. I'm missing dozens of lines."
"Ms. Minister," Bloch wrote on Twitter yesterday, "Let's first make sure that the bus lines arrive on time and at their destination, and then we'll be free to deal with other things. Thousands of my residents, secular and religious, young and old, students and pensioners wait on hot and rainy days, and simply do not get to where they need to go.''
The chairman of the Religious Zionist Party, MK Bezalel Smotrich, also criticized Transport Minister Michaeli after she presented her plan: "She is a failed minister who shows complete helplessness in the face of traffic jams on roads, public transport, ports, and the airport, and only concerns herself with cheap populism. We will replace her after the elections, with G-d's help, and deal with the real problems that are troubling the citizens of Israel.''
Trump, 76, took to his Truth Social platform late Tuesday to hail the “very decisive WIN” by the challenger he’d backed, Harriet Hageman, saying the “very big Liz Cheney loss” was “far bigger than had ever been anticipated.”
This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs,” he said.
“Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others,” he wrote of the Republican who’d voted to impeach him after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The Justice Department admitted late Monday that former President Donald Trump’s passports were taken by FBI agents who searched his Florida home last week — hours after “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell tweeted that she had been told otherwise.
Late Monday, Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich tweeted a screenshot of an email from a member of the Justice Department’s National Security Division that acknowledged the bureau removed the 45th president’s travel documents from Mar-a-Lago.
“We have learned that the filter agents seized three passports belonging to President Trump, two expired and one being his active diplomatic passport,” the email said.
The email added that the agency was “returning” Trump’s passports and that they would be ready for pickup by 2 p.m. Monday.
“In executing search warrants, the FBI follows search and seizure procedures ordered by courts, then returns items that do not need to be retained for law enforcement purposes,” the bureau said in a statement.
Trump initially accused the FBI of taking the passports Monday afternoon — an explosive allegation that suggested investigators believed he was a flight risk or faced potential charges that would prevent him from leaving the country.
“Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,” the former president wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!” he added.
On Monday evening, O’Donnell tweeted: “NEW: According to a DOJ official, the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump’s passports. Trump had accused the FBI of stealing his three passports during the search of his Mar-a-Lago home.”
These were the autopsy riots. Ironic how the Chareidim are so concerned about the dead and don't care about those still alive!
It's Bein Hazmanim and these "lomdishe thumb twisters" are going berserk with sheer boredom, so expect them to cause mayhem all over chareidie neighborhoods.
It feels like old times. In the wake of theFBI raidon Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, themainstream mediaare in a feeding frenzy the likes of which we haven’t seen since he exited the White House. The usual suspects, like The New York Times and Washington Post, which spent the four years of Trump’s presidency consistently and spectacularly beclowning themselves, are at it again.
Dare we say that it has “all the hallmarks” of media incompetence?
Despite being a minority population in Israel, Arab drivers are responsible for over half of fatal road accidents, an Israel Police report revealed this week.
On intercity roads the numbers are even higher, with Arabs found to have been involved in 58% of all accidents and 60% of fatal ones, of which they were the cause 80% of the time, according to the report.
Arab drivers were found to be involved in 36 percent of all traffic accidents, despite comprising only 19% of drivers. According to data, the majority of accidents involve young drivers, between the ages of 17-23.
“They [young Arab drivers] usually leave the village, go on a rampage, run amok and cause accidents,” said a law enforcement official. “We are dealing with a serious problem that goes beyond the police. We need to make this a priority. Unlike in Jewish society, where for example when a driver is stripped of his license, he stops driving, In Arab society, many continue to drive and endanger the lives of all drivers on the road.”
The police report cited a lack of public transportation, longer commutes and the poor condition of vehicles in the Arab sector as contributing factors.
A vehicle carrying the Skverer Rebbe was involved in serious MVA on Monday evening on Route 6, a highway connecting Monsey and Kiryas Joel. Hatzolah was at the scene treating multiple victims, with one of them pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Rebbe was b”h not injured in the collision and was taken from the scene in another vehicle and returned safely back to New Square, where he was mesader kiddushin at a wedding a short while later.
Chevra Kadisha services were not needed in the aftermath of the crash.
State police visited the home of the Rebbe on Monday night as they continue investigating this tragic incident.
The rebbe and a few cars were on the way back from Simcha in KJ a car lost control swerved into their lane and boom, unfortunately that driver died ,rebbe swapped into next car and left.. state police are now by rebbe house to write report
On Sunday an Israel identity card was issued to a 100-year-old new oleh (immigrant) from the US named Judy Neiman. A Holocaust survivor, Neiman went to live in the Town of Beit Shemesh to the West of Jerusalem.
A special ceremony was held for the presentation of the ID card held in the presence of Beit Shemesh Mayor Dr. Aliza Bloch, Director General of the Population and Immigration Authority Tomer Moskowitz, other officials and family members.
Judy Neiman was born in Czechoslovakia in a family with Orthodox Jewish-Zionist roots. Before World War II, she was a member of a secret Zionist organization, the name of which she no longer remembers, where she learned the song of the virtues of the food blessing to the tune of HaTikva.
After the war, Judy married Bill Neiman, a Romanian Jew who left Europe before the war. They had two sons, Howard and Mark. Bill was a talented baker.
Judy joins her son Howard’s family which was already in Israel.
During the past two weeks, an investigation was conducted at the Beit Shemesh police station against the director of the Talmud Torah in the city, on suspicion of assaults and abuse of his students over the past few months.
The investigation began following complaints received by the police from parents of children studying there, regarding violence and abuse allegedly experienced by their children (ages 8-10) by the principal.
In recent days, investigators from the Beit Shemesh police station of the Jerusalem District have collected evidence and testimonies against the Civil Administration, and last night the suspect (in his thirties) was arrested at his home in Beit Shemesh according to a court order.
This morning, the suspect's detention was extended by the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court from four days, until 18 November 2022.
Every single county will do an autopsy when there is a murder to determine the exact cause of death. Poiskim have ruled many times that in a case of murder the government has the right to do the autopsy. Many years ago when a chassidishe guy was kidnapped and murdered the dayanim allowed the autopsy.
But what is interesting is that these protests are all in Chareidie neighborhoods where the majority of the residents agree with them, yet these protests don't allow the innocent residents to continue with their lives for hours. The protests are all violent something they learned from the arabs!
It's Bein Hazamanim so Israel should get ready for many more Chareidie riots that will disrupt the country.
Ultra-Orthodox protesters staged demonstrations in Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, and Bnei Brak on Sunday evening against state plans to conduct an autopsy on the body of a four-year-old boy who was allegedly killed by his uncle in Jerusalem over the weekend.
Police said that hundreds of ultra-Orthodox protesters gathered in Shabbat Square and on Bar Ilan Road in Jerusalem, as well as on Nahar Yarden Street in Beit Shemesh. A smaller protest took place in Bnei Brak Sunday.
Police reported clashes and rioting in all three locations, saying that “hundreds of rioters were blocking roads, throwing rocks, and setting garbage cans alight.”
In a statement late Sunday, police said at least five people had been arrested and that officers were working to break up the protests. In photos from Jerusalem, protesters stirring on a road can be seen being sprayed by a police water cannon.
Jewish tradition generally opposes autopsies on the grounds that the human body is sacred and should not be tampered with after death. Exceptions are often made in murder or manslaughter cases and courts have in the past overruled the wishes of families.
Ultra-Orthodox protesters had called to take to the streets in Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Modi’in Illit, Bnei Brak, and Safed, on Sunday to oppose the expected autopsy.
The move came after a Jerusalem court accepted the request of the police and prosecutors to conduct the procedure on the body of a the boy who died Sunday morning while in the hospital.
In a statement after the boy’s death on Sunday, Shaare Zedek Medical Center said “emergency staff and the pediatric intensive care unit fought for hours to save his life but unfortunately we must pronounce the child’s death.”
The family of the victim has appealed the decision and a hearing is set for Monday morning, Channel 12 reported.
According to an initial police probe, the boy did not respond Saturday morning to the calls of family members. After the father was called home from the synagogue, relatives noticed a family member’s door was locked and broke into his room, where they found the boy lying on the floor with signs of strangulation on his neck.
The relative, 27, was then arrested on suspicion of attempted murder by officers called to the scene. Hebrew media outlets on Sunday identified him as the boy’s uncle.
With many Americans up in arms over the unprecedented raid of former President Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago by the FBI, Attorney General Garland released a statement to assure everyone the raid was completely justified. Eyewitnesses noted he looked unusually fetching in an elegant Dolce & Gabbana evening gown and a Dior sun hat.
"We wouldn't raid Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate or Melania's wardrobe unless it was absolutely, 100% necessary," said Garland. "I resent any accusation that this raid was influenced by partisan politics or my insatiable desire to wear pretty designer dresses." The Attorney General then did a little spin in his purple gown as the press gasped with delight.
FBI Director Christopher Wray echoed the statement as he strode up to the Hoover Building in a dazzling pair of diamond-encrusted Alexander McQueen stilettos. "The men and women of the FBI are paragons of unassailable integrity and impartiality, and any suggestion otherwise is murderous treason," he said. Several news outlets present also noted the delicious smell of Chanel No.5 in the air.
At publishing time, Trump took to Truth Social to announce that all his golf clubs were also missing.
Former President Donald Trump on Sunday called for the Justice Department to return the reams of documents FBI agents seized at his Mar-a-Lago resort last week, pointing to a report that said the information was covered by attorney-client or executive privilege.
“Oh great! It has just been learned that the FBI, in its now famous raid of Mar-a-Lago, took boxes of privileged ‘attorney-client’ material, and also ‘executive’ privileged material, which they knowingly should not have taken,” Trump said on his Truth Social site.
“By copy of this TRUTH, I respectfully request that these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken. Thank you!,” the former president said in the posting.
Fox News reported, citing sources close to the investigation, that team Trump was told that at least five boxes – labeled A-14, A-26, A-43, A-13, A-33, and a set of documents – taken under authority of the search warrant contained information covered by attorney-client or executive privilege.
Israeli singer and songwriter Svika Pick has been found dead in his home at the age of 72. His family became concerned after he suddenly broke contact with them several hours previously and decided to investigate.
Many of Israel's senior figures have paid their respects to the departed artist. President Isaac Herzog commented: "Svika Pick renewed the Israeli cultural landscape and created a revolutionary change in it. His music penetrated hearts and became an inseparable part of the soundtrack of our lives. His extraordinary talent as a creator yielded beautiful pearls to Israeli culture. He was so Israeli and connected deeply to our rich Hebrew roots, and at the same time reflected the beauty of the face of the State of Israel in the whole world. His voice and melodies will continue to play in our loving ears for years to come. My condolences to his family and his many loved ones. May he rest in peace."
It would be an "Aveirah" to let the following pass without making any comments.!
The Israeli Yated Ne'eman want us to believe that the Roshei Yeshivas and Chassidishe Rabbanim should be trusted in their selection of candidates for the Knesset because they do not have any "personal biases" and they are choosing them based on what's good for the tzibbur and it is therefore imperative that the public go along with their recommendations and not speak against their handpicked candidates.
What Yated Ne'eman cannot explain is how is it that the Rebbe of Gur chooses a representative for his chassidus, the Rebbe of Belz chooses a representative for his Chassidim, the Rebbe of Viznitz chooses a Viznitz chasid , as for the Litvishe,the Kaniewski followers chose their own candidates, and the followers of Rabbi Gershon Eidelstein choose their own people, and all this happens without 'personal biases', everything is supposedly done as what is "best for klall Yisrael,"
Message to you guys:
Stop lying! We are not stupid!
All the Roshei Yeshivois and Chassidishe Rebbes, every single one of them, choose candidates based on what is best for their own communities and they do not base it on what's best for the general tzibbur. Absolutely!
I'll give you one example, in Ger, their representative was Litzman who entered the Knesset in 1999. Was Litzman the best candidate for the Jewish people? He was chosen by Ger because he was a Gerrer Chusid. If he were a Sadigere Chusid, the Gerer Rebbe would have chosen another candidate. The Gerer Rebbe did not choose Litzman because he was the best for the tzibbur. Proof?
When Litzman was forced to resign because he was indicted, the Rebbe immediately replaced him with Goldknup a shady guy, but that didn't matter as Goldknup is a Gerer.
The truth is that it is only natural for every Torah leader to choose someone who follows their personal viewpoint.
But stop telling us is that the candidates chosen, were chosen without any "negiois" without any biases, and this is what is best for Klall Yisrael. this isn't true, it's a lie and no one is falling for it!
In the same year, 2015, both feuding Satmar Brothers wrote editorials in their weekly yiddish newspapers also supporting the Iran deal, knowing full well that Iran vowed to destroy Israel.
How did we let them get away with these awful blood libels against the State of Israel, when the Israeli leadership was constantly warning the world against the Iranian murderers?
Why were we silent?
It's been 6 years and Iran is stepping up its game and becoming more and more dangerous. Yet, Satmar that is ראש וראשון in condemning the Zionist regime for every imagined sin, remains quiet even though over 7 million Jews live there now. It would have been decent for the feuding brothers to unite and come out with a statement to their own followers stating that they made a grave error vis-vis Iran and support their own brothers and sisters that are the target of these vicious "amaleikim," and just like they had their followers write the treasonous letters supporting Obama and his antisemitic deal with the Iranians, they should ask their chassidim to write thousands of letters to the old demented fool, Biden!
This would give us who live in Israel "Chizuk" but no, they are busy with the internet and long shaitlach. Crazy!
“The Iranian state-owned FARS News called Rushdie an ‘apostate’ who has ‘insulted the Prophet of Islam,’ ” the Washington Examiner writes.
The Daily Mail reports that a media chief close to the Supreme Leader called the attacker “courageous” and added: “Let us kiss the hands of the one who tore the neck of the enemy of God with a knife.”
Donald Trump’s team has now confirmed that Trump had a “standing order” which immediately declassified materials he would take to the residence so he could work at night.
Trump’s team said that this means any documents that were taken to Mar-A-Lago would have been declassified.
Donald Trump’s office told Just the News on Friday that the classified materials the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate were declassified under a “standing order” while he was president that allowed him to take sensitive materials to the White House residence at night to keep working.
The official statement is likely to become the focus of the president’s legal defense as the FBI and Biden Justice Department investigate whether he stole records covered under the Presidential Records Act or mishandled classified materials under the Espionage Act, allegations included in a search warrant released by a federal court in Florida on Friday.

The terrorist whoshot up the #3 bus and a caroutside the Old City of Jerusalem last night near the Kotel, wounding 8 people, including apregnant woman and her unborn child, gave himself up to police at around 8 AM on Sunday at the Moriah police station.
The 26-year-old terrorist, an Israeli-Arab citizen living in eastern Jerusalem, arrived at the police station by taxi. He turned himself in along with his weapon.
The taxi driver said he picked up the terrorist near Sharei Tzedek Medical Center. It is unknown at this point how the terrorist traversed the city from the terror scene to the hospital.
Police had held a massive manhunt for him in the Silwan neighborhood outside the Old City. Police arrested the terrorist’s family during the search.
Having been arrested alive, the terrorist will receive a guaranteed monthly salary from the Palestinian Authority and be able to study for advance college degrees while in an Israeli prison.
According to a report, four of the injured are Satmar Chasidim from the United States.
Eight people were injured, including two seriously, in a shooting attack near the Old City of Jerusalem on Saturday night.
According to initial reports, two terrorists apparently fired at a bus and fled the scene.
According to Magen David Adom, the incident took place in two different locations - on HaShalom Street near the Old City of Jerusalem, and at the entrance to the King David's Tomb parking lot.
MDA paramedics provided medical treatment to the victims and evacuated them to hospitals. Among the seriously injured victims are a pregnant woman in her 30s and a tourist from the United States.
The director of the trauma unit at Shaare Zedek Hospital, Dr. Alon Schwartz, updated on Sunday morning that the pregnant woman who was seriously injured had an emergency delivery of her baby, and that the newborn is in serious but stable condition.
Another person is hospitalized in serious condition at Shaare Zedek, and four others in light condition remain hospitalized in the emergency room.
Local residents are reporting seeing security forces searching for the terrorists in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan.
Police initially blocked the exits from the Western Wall plaza and the crowd was unable to leave the area. Later, worshipers were permitted to leave.
MDA Senior EMT Nehemia Katz and MDA Paramedic David Trachtenberg said: "We were on scene very quickly. On Ma'ale Hashalom St. we saw a passenger bus standing in the middle of the road, bystanders called us to treat two males around 30 years old who were on the bus with gunshot wounds. They were fully conscious and walking with wounds to the upper body. We provided them with lifesaving treatment and were taken to hospital by MDA ambulances that had arrived at the scene."
"From there we went to the King David's Tomb parking area and found 4 males, one aged 50 and three aged 30, all fully conscious and with gunshot wounds. A few moments later the MDA ATV brought us another victim, a woman in her 30s with gunshot wounds. We provided lifesaving treatment to the victims and conveyed them urgently to hospitals, with 2 in serious condition and 5 in mild to moderate condition."
The mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Lion, commented on the shooting attack.
"I trust the Israel Police and security forces to lay their hands on the despicable terrorist tonight. Jerusalem is stronger than any event and we will not allow any terrorist to harm the routine of life in the public sphere. The capital of Israel will continue to be a city full of life, joy and vitality," he said.
A United Nations (UN) official has been demoted after posting a tweet condemning "indiscriminate rocket fire of Islamic Jihad provoking Israel retaliation."
Sarah Muscroft, who had held a senior position in the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, provoked a wave of online controversy with her tweet, during which she praised the ceasefire that marked the end of Operation Breaking Dawn.
The Times of Israel reports that she later published a retraction reading: "One of my previous tweets was ill-informed and I have deleted it. I sincerely apologize for my poor judgment. All civilians — everywhere — must be able to live in peace," which proved insufficient to assuage those accusing her of failing to hold Israel responsible for the damages caused in the operation. She has since deleted her account entirely.
Requests for comment have been answered with an automated message that Muscroft is on leave. Officials from her office commented that she "will be assigned a new role."
i24 News reports that Israeli officials, who wished to remain anonymous, had been aware of the incident and followed it "with great interest," and called it an illustration of UN "hypocrisy" towards Israel.
Aaron Yadlin passed away last week . Yadlin was a former Israeli Knesset member for the Ma'arach, known today as the Labor party. He was extremely popular, rising to the position of Education Minister.
However, while serving in that position, he suddenly resigned.
Why?
Yadlin was a kibbutz member. His kibbutz decided that the time had come for him to do a rotation in the kibbutz industries, starting off as a dish washer (yes, a dish washer).
Yadlin accepted the decision and left his position as one of the most powerful people in the Israeli political world to because a simple worker.
They say that "truth is far better than fiction." You cannot make this stuff up!
A couple of Liska Chassidim (they only have a "couple") constructed a brand-new wall in a town that murdered its Jews, and they want you to spend your hard-earned money not to "chas ve'sholom" take a trip to the "wall"in Yerushalyim, that is over two thousand years old, and where millions of people pour their broken hearts out, but to an abandoned town in Poland whose residents shipped innocent men, women and children to their deaths!
This Ezra is the guy on Nadler's payroll that voted for the Iran deal, a deal giving murderers a license to fulfill their dangerous vow to "wipe Israel off the map"
Now he wants you to go to a "newly constructed wall"
Rumor has it that the those doing their pilgrimage to Kretsier and Uman are running scared that this new wall will take away much of their crowds.

A 4-year-old boy from Jerusalem was hospitalized in critical condition Saturday, with police arresting a family member on suspicion of choking him.
Police were treating the case as a suspected murder.
The boy, a resident of Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood, was rushed to the city’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center after suspected choke marks were found on his neck. Paramedics were trying to resuscitate him.
Police said officers sent to Ramot to investigate the incident arrested one of the boy’s relatives, who is in his 20s.
Citing an initial probe, police said the boy did not respond this morning to the calls of family members. After the father was called home from synagogue, the family noticed the suspect’s door was locked and broke into his room, where they found the boy lying on the floor, according to police.
Police said officers sent to Ramot to investigate the incident arrested one of the boy’s relatives, who is in his 20s.
According to reports, the suspect suffers from mental illness.
“The investigation is ongoing,” a police statement said.
Care at Maimonides Medical Center in Borough Park has gotten so bad that one dad said his wife had to practically deliver their baby on her own.
The mom rang the call bell three times without response at the understaffed hospital last month, as she felt the baby about to arrive, said the Borough Park man who did not want to be identified.
“She started yelling, ‘Go get a nurse. The baby’s coming out, the baby’s coming out!’ ” the man recalled.
By the time his mother-in-law, who was in the hospital room with the couple, was able to get help, the baby was half-way out, he said.
“The nurse came, she was all shocked,” the dad said.
The baby was healthy but “things could have gone very, very wrong,” he added.
