Media estimates that 600,000 were at the Pro-government demonstration in Jerusalem

 





An enormous rally with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators called the 'Million March,' was held in front of the Knesset this evening (Thursday) in support of the government's planned judicial reforms.

Over 1,000 buses were bringing citizens from all over the country to participate in the demonstration.

Police said that crowds at the demonstration at first reached 200,000 people. Later, as more and more people arrived, and it was almost impossible to get through the crowds that poured in, filling all the streets around the Knesset, and media estimated close to 600,000 people.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Knesset Constitution Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman, the architects of the judicial reform legislation, addressed the demonstrators, as did numerous other politicians. Speakers included Nobel Laureate Prof.Israel Aumann, the head of the student union of Israeli universities, Caroline Glick, popular publicist and media personality Noam Fathi, Professor Gadi Taub and others.

Demonstration organizer Berele Crombie stated that "the purpose of the demonstrations is to remind and demand from our elected officials in the government and the coalition that the people want judicial reform, that the people are behind them, that the people give them strength."

MK Avichay Buaron, another initiator of the rally, said: "An entire camp cannot live with the knowledge that they are worth less. If there is no reform - that means that our votes at the voting booth are not worth anything. We are the majority at the voting booths, but we can't really run the country. This reality must change. The nationalist camp is also allowed to have a share in managing the country's issues. We are sick of being second-class citizens."

"We are sick of every decision that the government makes and which is for the benefit of soldiers or settlers or residents of south Tel Aviv - the Supreme Court is the one which decides whether it is a reasonable decision or not, and on the way invalidates it or the law which benefits these populations. We will not stop the protests, and we will only increase them until the million-person protest in which we tell the President, to the court, and to the opposition: No more! After 75 years from the State of Israel's establishment have passed, the people of Israel will be set free and Israel will embark on a new path. It's time," he said.

We Are Doomed!

 

 

Harav Avadia Yosef's View on Yom Hatzmaot



Halacha Yomit



יום העצמאות – בתמורות הזמן

Loosly translated ..... original Hebrew below

 It is Independence Day.  And we have already talked several times about the correct view of the establishment of the State of Israel in the Land of Israel, according to the words of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zt"l.


An unusual thought can be found in the words of Rabbi Yosef Chaim zt"l, the Ben Ish Chai,  in his sefer "Baniho" (on mesachtas  Rosh Hashanah page 8:) .

He wrote, words of prophecy, that before the redemption of Israel, many Jews will ascend to the Land of Israel, and there will be a government there, and that will be their advantage, only that they will not be completely redeemed, until the coming of our righteous Messiah. 
And these words were written by the Gaon Rabbi Yosef Chaim, in the days when no one believed that Israel would come to their land in a great kibbutz, without the coming of the Messiah (And in the sefer "Abir the Shepherds" part two, he brought us more wonders from his Torah, in which he talks about the Yom Kippur war, and more. See there).

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.

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.

Yom Hazikoron! A Tribute to Those that were Murdered Al Kiddush Hashem

 


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.

How the FBI Directly Influences Elections Officially

 

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

 

CVS Pharmacy, a health care corporation that hires people who presume to embrace science in medicine, has gone fully “woke” and will require all employees — without exception — to buy into the falsehood that people can change their genders.

Employees at the retail giant’s thousands of U.S. stores have recently been given a policy on how to address their “trans” coworkers, which included a note that any restroom is to be used by anyone at any time.
