Yeshiva U Restores Women’s Talmud Classes ..Kollel Guys Watch Out

 

Beginner and intermediate Talmud courses are back on the course schedule for undergraduate students at Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women, after an uproar over their cancellation.

Stern College administrators had said the school would not offer beginning and intermediate Talmud — courses about a foundational Jewish text for women at the country’s flagship Modern Orthodox university — because of low enrollment in those classes. That prompted more than 1,400 students, graduates and others to sign a petition urging the school to reinstate the classes and to endow a full-time chair of Talmud studies.

Now, Stern College says it is adding several Talmud classes to next semester’s schedule, citing increased interest among students. (Registration opens May 2.)

“It was heartwarming to see the outpouring of interest revolving around women’s Talmud learning on the Beren campus,” Shoshana Schechter, Stern’s associate dean of Torah and spiritual life, and Deena Rabinovich, chair of the Jewish studies department, said in a letter distributed to students by email and WhatsApp on Tuesday.

Watch: Israel at 75 - a bird's eye view

 

Torah Study as Israel turns 75: From 400 students to 350 thousand!

 

As the State of Israel celebrates its 75th Independence Day, let's take a look at once of its exceptional features: support of Torah study.

Whatever you think about learning Torah, it's indisputable that Israel has the largest concentration of Torah scholars in the world, and that Israel is the only country that provides direct financial support to Torah scholars.

My grandfather, may he live and be well, celebrated his 91st birthday this year. He often relates how, when he was a boy, he would wear a baseball cap over his kippah when he left the house, embarrassed to identify himself as religious. One day, a friend came up to him and said, "Do you really think you can hide it? Just take off the kippah already! Do you really want to be the last religious kid left? It's all over!"

The sense that the world of Torah learning was doomed to extinction prevailed throughout the early years of the State, encouraged by its secular leaders. That sense was also what inspired people like my grandfather and others, such as Rabbi Neria and Rabbi Druckman, to take upon themselves the heavy burden of ensuring that Torah learning survived. Their motto was, "We'll establish a yeshivah in every city, in every town, in every village." Over time, their vision became a reality, a living, breathing reality.

Now for some figures, to give a clearer idea of the immense changes over the past 75 years:

Torch Lighting Ceremony at Har Herzl Israel's 75th Anniversary

 

How the Zionists Destroyed Yiddishkeit in Israel

 

I grew up in a time when Jews had no Kotel no Kever Rachel, No Mearas Hamachpeilah. 

Suddenly in 1967 the "*sitra achra" the Zionists, the destroyers of Yiddishkeit, the destroyers of Torah, came along with their "tumedika" IDF and captured these Holy places,. 

The "sitra achra" didn't stop there but decided to fund Moisdois HaTorah to the tune of over $300 million annually, allowing Koillim and Yeshivas to flourish, and now the "sitra achra medina" has the most Torah learned under her flag than any time in the entire history of the Jewish people.

Now read below how the wickedness of the Zionists together with the "Sitra Achra" destroyed Yiddishkeit as we know it!

* The term "sitra achra" meaning the devil or Satan was first coined by the late Satmar Rebbe z"l who insisted that it wasn't Hashem that helped the IDF win the 1967 but the "sitra achra" the devil itself that assisted the Jewish soldiers to capture all the holy places that we cherish today. That Satmar Rebbe established "kiryas Yoel" in Monroe New York, taking his idea from Binyamin Zev Herzl who initially (later fiercely rejected it) wanted to establish Uganda as a Jewish State.

by Emailim Batorah  The secular Zionists have constantly been out to destroy Yiddishkeit. They wanted to eradicate the Torah and its followers. They keep trying to שמד ח"ו all of כלל ישראל and turn them ככל הגוים ר"ל.                                                                                     והקב"ה מצילנו מידם                                                                 Hashem turned the tables on them. Instead of Zionist stopping us from learning Torah they became the largest financial supporters of Torah. They spend billions of Shekalim to build חדרים, ישיבות, כוללים, בית יעקב, סמינר, etc. They also spend billions to support the בני תורה who learn Torah. Over the past two thousand years,(maybe even beyond)  there has never been so much Torah learning anywhere in the world as it is done now in Eretz Yisroel. There never was such a large ציבור of תלמידי חכמים, בני תורה, שומרי תורה ומצות The secular Zionists try to make it difficult to remain a Torah observant Yid, yet they are the ones who are paying billions of Shekalim for Rabonim, Dayanim, Mashgichim, Shuls, & Mikvaos in every city & town in the country alleviating the financial burden of Torah observant Yidden.  In every country in the world, the גזירת שמד today is rampant. Intermarriage is between 70%-85% in every country except in the Zionist State where intermarriage is less than 2-3% (still too many) As much as the secular Zionists try to שמד Klal Yisroel, The  Ribono Shel Olam made sure their wishes won't happen.  Despite the Zionist claim of כחי ועוצם ידי, etc. especially during the six-day war, the whole בעלי תשובה movement we know of today started during the war. For the past few thousand years there have never been so many בעלי תשובה as we have today. We could have had way more בעלי תשובה had we tried a little harder not to make the non-Frum have reason to hate us.   Russian Jewry which seemed to be totally lost in the sixties was part of the six-day war miracle. Instead of the Zionists converting the Frum the opposite is happening, the non-Frum become Frum. Ben Yehudah, created the modern עברית so that the Frum Yidden will give up their old fashion religion and become a modern non-Frum society with its own modern language. Today, the language used to learn Torah is mostly עברית. In most Chadorim, Yeshivos, Kollelim & Bais Yakovs the Shiurim & Schmussen are given in עברית. Chavrusos in the Bais Midrash argue & shout at each other in the language that was intended to keep them out of the Bais Midrash. Yes, it's true it is not yet a perfect world out there, but when was the last time that it was? Even during בית ראשון, there were Kings who were עובדי עבודה זרה.        Perhaps the secular Zionists should be the ones to say הלל, being it was the Zionist State who saved them from שמד. Almost 100% of the European non-Zionist Maskilim converted and abandoned Yiddishkeit. Their descendants are all Goyim who don't even know of their Jewish heritage. The only Maskilim descendants who are still Yidden today are the Zionist Maskilim who made Aliyah & live in Eretz Yisroel.

The Transition From Yom Hazikoron to Yom Ha'atzmoat

 

Hatikvah Sung at Yom Hazikaron Event in Bnei Brak

 

An emotional event was held in Bnei Brak to commemorate Yom Hazikaron on Monday evening

The ceremony to observe ‘Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers of the Wars of Israel and Victims of Actions of Terrorism’ was held in memory of the 413 fallen residents of the city.

The large crowd of attendees included bereaved families, Mayor Avraham Rubinstein, rabbis, and many local residents.

The event was also attended by Ariel Yehezkel, a young child who survived the terror attack in Bnei Brak about a year ago. His father, Avishai HY”D, was murdered in the attack as he was protecting his son with his body.

Describing the story of young Ariel, Mayor Rubinstein said, “Ariel Yehezkel is celebrating his third birthday today – Upsherin without a father.”

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the crowd rose for the singing of Hatikvah, a true demonstration of unity.

5 Wounded in Terrorist Ramming Attack Near Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda Market

 

Multiple people were wounded Monday afternoon in a ramming terror attack that took place on Jerusalem’s Agrippas Street down the street from the city’s iconic Mahane Yehuda open air market, near a large parking garage.

Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi turned down offer to light Independence Day torch - here's why.

 

Following criticism that none of those lighting an Independence Day torch are haredim, Kikar Hashabbat revealed that Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi, a leading religious figure, was offered to light a torch - but politely refused.

According the Kikar Hashabbat, Rabbanit Mizrachi had received permission from rabbis to take part in the torchlighting ceremony - but chose to turn down the offer.

Galei Zahal journalist Yanir Cozin reported that Rabbanit Mizrachi made the final list of torchlighters, and even received a phone call prior to being announced as one of those chosen for the honor.

However, Cozin added, in the end Rabbanit Mizrachi chose to forgo the honor, for reasons of modesty. He emphasized: "What I mean is, that Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi decided to forgo the torchlighting for reasons of humility and personal modesty."

Kikar Hashabbat did not receive comment from Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi.

Part Three ...The Chaotic Crazed Interview with the Host Heshy Goldstein whose program went belly-up and Zev Brenner

 

This Heshy Goldstein character the host of the disastrous Pesach that didn't take place, talks for over a half hour, arguing with Zev about how Zev runs his Talkline program without answering a single question on how he plans to repay his victims.. Zev with patience of a saint tries to unsuccessfully get him to tell us what exactly happened. Heshy has the chutzpa of basically calling those who he scammed "crooks." 

Yossi Ziblocki who runs Pesach and other programs was scammed by Heshy Goldstein for approx $7,000 and has a judgement against him, yet Heshy calls Yossi the crook. Instead of being contrite and humble, he keeps talking about his rabbi, "my rabbi said this, my rabbi said that" and during the interview he actually claims that he has the rabbi on the other phone, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what the hell his rabbi actually said. This would actually be hilarious if it weren't so tragic. 

The interview goes from bad to total chaos and snowballs into the abyss! 

Question: Would you ever ask Heshy what time it is?

Bidens’ corrupt web rapidly unraveling before our eyes and Blinken's Dirty Tricks Revealed by FBI Informer

 

The sudden flurry of evidence and allegations about the Biden family’s money-making schemes is a direct result of the GOP winning control of the House of Representatives last year. 

The margin of midterm victory was very small — just five seats — but the impact is very large because the majority comes with subpoena power.

And aggressive new Republican committee leaders are eager and willing to use that power. 

After a slow start, they are producing at near-daily pace documentation of serious wrongdoing.

None of this would be happening if Democrats still had control of the House. 

The breakthroughs include testimony showing how a group of retired intelligence officials influenced the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, effectively proving the existence of a corrupt Deep State. 

There are also claims from an IRS whistleblower that federal law enforcement agencies are giving favored treatment to President Biden’s son in a long-running probe and that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied to Congress about the case. 

The implications of these developments are enormous and while there is still much to be learned, it is possible investigators are on the cusp of revealing one of the largest scandals in the history of American politics.

The probers believe the president participated in and profited from the corrupt influence-peddling schemes while he was vice president. 

The arrows all point in that direction, with Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, head of the Oversight and Reform panel, producing bank records that show millions of dollars from China being divvied up among as many as nine Biden family members. 

In response, the president emerged from hiding to say only, “that’s not true,” without directly refuting the evidence collected by banks and subpoenaed by Congress. 

Chareidei Terrorists Tear Off Flags in Bet Shemesh "Dalet" on Shabbos

 

The city of Beit Shemesh has a minhag of adorning the city lampposts that are on the main thorough-fairs with Israeli Flags prior to Yom Ha'atzmaot. It looks festive; after all we live in a Jewish country. 

The city makes sure not to antagonize the kanoim that live in Beit Shemesh BET and leave their lamp posts alone.

In the last two years, the city that now has a population of 160,000 has expanded and built a brand-new area called Beit Shemesh "Dalet." 

Dalet is massive and is larger than the entire Beit Shemesh which includes Old Beit Shemesh, BS Alef, Bet (the extremist area), Gimmel, Gimmel Shtayim, Mishkafyim and Hey better known as Nevei Shamir. 

The guys living in Bet, are hell bent on making sure that "dalet" becomes one of their enclaves and rent buses every night to disrupt the lives of the normal people that moved into dalet, trying to make sure that normal Jews will hear about the riots and will be dissuaded from moving there. 

For example, just last Wednesday night they bused in a bunch of parasites to scream "nazi" "shiksa" at people that were sitting peacefully  shmoozing and drinking coffee at a bakery/coffee shop called "Chalas Habayis" 

On Thursday night the normal residents of dalet came out by the thousands to "Chalas Habayis" to support the store and to send a

message to the Chareidie terrorists that they are ready to take them on. 

As you can imagine, all hell broke loose, and police came to separate the groups and to send the terrorists back to their caves in BET!

Zera Shimshon Parshas Tazria-Metzora

 

Leading Rabbi Reverses His Previous Rulings and "Paskens" that Hallel SHOULD be said on Independence Day night

 

The rabbi of Kiryat Arba and a leading religious Zionist rabbi, Rabbi Dov Lior, ruled to say the Hallel prayer with a blessing on the night of Israeli Independence Day.

Rabbi Lior explained that "in the past, I was apprehensive based on those who opposed Former Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren and therefore ruled that because there is doubt, not to say the Hallel prayer with a blessing on the night of Independance Day, but now I think that one should act according to Rabbi Goren OBM and say Hallel with a blessing on Independance Day."

He emphasized that one should recite the prayer with a blessing "even though there are rabbis who rule otherwise."

The reason for this, he explains, is "the importance of giving thanks for the miracle and since in the middle of this night the rule of the British Mandate ended, and the Jewish kingdom came into effect."

"Hallel" is a prayer of thanksgiving, consisting of a compilation of Psalms, traditionally said on Jewish holidays and the first of every Jewish month. After the establishment of the state of Israel, the Chief Rabbinate called on Jews to say the prayer on Independence Day without a blessing.

 In 1974, the Chief Rabbinate under Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren changed its ruling and added the blessing to the prayer. Rabbi Goren also ruled to say the prayer at night with a blessing, but that ruling was not widely accepted.

Chazzan Moshe Stern Passes on at 87

 

Cantor Moshe Stern, 87, has passed away.

Stern was considered one of the best Ashkenazic-Jewish cantors, and became famous throughout the world for his powerful voice.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, Stern studied under his father. His older brother, László (Benjamin) Stern, was the head cantor in Budapest for decades.Stern began his career as the head cantor in Rehovot's Great Synagogue. Later, he served as cantor at the Heichal Shlomo synagogue in Jerusalem, as well as in South Africa and in the Beth-El synagogue in Boro Park, New York, where he became famous.

In 1977, Stern returned to Israel, and settled in the neighborhood of Har Nof in Jerusalem.

The funeral will be held at 3:00p.m. on Thursday, at the Shamgar funeral home in Jerusalem.

UN Says Minors Can Consent to Sex "and that is the law"

 

The United Nations is working to mainstream sex with minors, stating in a report that relations with underage individuals can be considered consensual despite worldwide prohibitions on such acts.

"Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law," several U.N.-backed organizations claimed in a March report that advocates decriminalizing these acts as part of a "human rights-based approach" to laws governing sexual relations.

CVS Goes Fully Woke - Look at the Insane Requirements Employees Must Now Follow: Report

Ezzra Friedlander of the "JudenRat" Meets Antisemitic Yentas Ilhan Omar and Tlaib

 

The self serving kapo, Ezra FriedLisker, has proven once again that he is an amateur! 

Friedlander,  who does this "for the Benjamins" invited himself to an Arab seuda called "Iftar" to tuchisleck outright antisemites. Instead of talking about Yom Ha'shoah he decided to diss the State of Israel and meet her enemies. 

As I said many times "ehr iz nisht a groiser chuchim in nish a kleiner naar" he isn't very bright and he isn't a small fool. 

This being chummy with people that are against America and Israel could actually be dangerous for Jews as he isn't a seasoned politician and who knows what this "upgerissinar naar" could say! 

Was invited by a guest of @RepAndreCarson as a plus one to the Muslim Congressional staffer Iftar in the US Capitol where I utilized the opportunity to lay the foundation for future communication w @Ilhan and @RepRashida. As easier as it would be to not engage in conversation, I pic.twitter.com/ZKC6GOe8Y3

How Callous and Heartless is Fat Nadler & Daniel Goldman? Get Public Tongue Lashing From Crime Victims!

 

A confession: When House Republicans announced plans for a New York hearing to showcase rampant crime, I didn’t need to curb my ­enthusiasm. 

I assumed the worst, that the hearing would bring New Yorkers bad news they already know and that Democrats and their media shills would dismiss the event as theater designed to embarrass Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. 

I was right.

The hearing, partly because of its timing, smelled like payback for Bragg’s flimsy indictment of Donald Trump, giving Dems and the media the ammunition to repeatedly ridicule it as a partisan dog-and-pony show. 

But I was also wrong in a major way: I underestimated how clueless and heartless Democrats could be about the sufferings of actual crime victims. 

My big takeaway was that they ­really don’t give a damn. 

Nadler’s unforced error 

Manhattan Rep. Jerry Nadler, for example, made the brain-dead mistake of citing declining homicide rates and decreased shootings in New York as proof that Judiciary Committee Republicans were using crime as a “pretext” to “bully the district attorney.” 

Telling grieving families that statistics say crime really isn’t so bad in New York and it’s worse elsewhere is tone-deaf.

That’s what 30 years in Washington will do to you. 

The indifference of Nadler and his fellow travelers to the witnesses’ pain and demands for justice made the hearing instructive.

As a result, the Dems snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and the hearing was more than worthwhile. 

The deniers were ice cold when warmth and compassion were called for, with Rep. Daniel Goldman offering another example of callousness.

His attempt to label the day a waste of time earned him a much-deserved scolding from the angry mother of a murder victim. 

“Don’t insult my intelligence,” Madeline Brame snapped at Goldman, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune and a prolific stock trader whose district includes lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. 

“You’re trying to insult me like I’m not aware of what’s going on here,” Brame said. 

She testified that Bragg’s office downgraded and dismissed charges against two offenders who — along with two others — brutally beat and stabbed her son, Army vet Hason Correa, to death in Harlem. 

“When Alvin Bragg came into office, he was handed a strong, trial-ready murder case,” Brame said. 

“He dismissed — completely dismissed — gang-assault and murder indictments against two of the defendants clearly on video participating in the brutal, savage slaughter of my son. Hason was kicked, punched, stomped and stabbed nine times by four individuals whom he did not know, nor had he done them any harm.” 

The only decent thing Goldman could have done was express his sorrow at her loss and promise to look into her complaint that Bragg was coddling killers. 

Lecturing her about Washington gotcha games and cutting her off midsentence was not an option, yet that’s what he did.
