Chassan cuts his foot breaking a glass under the Chuppah

Its time to use light bulbs, this glass business has caused many chassanim to cut themselves, forcing guests to call Hatzalah!
All Rabbonim who are Mesader Kiddushin  should insist on a light bulb!

A groom missed part of his own wedding after cutting his foot while breaking the glass cup during the chuppah ceremony, according to a new lawsuit filed in an Israeli court.

According to the lawsuit, the wedding guests were shocked to hear people shouting "medic, medic" instead of Mazel Tov.

The groom filed his lawsuit against the owners of a wedding hall with the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court last week, after the glass of the broken cup cut through his leather shoes and slashed his foot.

Following the injury, the groom underwent medical treatment and missed several hours of his own wedding.

The groom is demanding compensation for punitive damages and emotional distress.

He is also demanding compensation because he was unable to work for several days.

"The wedding hall failed to provide a suitable glass cup for the chuppah ceremony," the lawsuit states.

Moshe Taubenfeld arrested for sexual abuse, walks...

The 55-year-old brother of a convicted sex offender from New Square was arrested Friday on accusations he molested a young boy repeatedly over five years, police said.

The chances of him ever being convicted and jailed are ZERO, since the case will be heard in New Square "Justice" Court!

Moshe Menachem Taubenfeld, 55, an educator like his younger brother Herschel, and the father of 20 children, was charged with a felony for alleged sexual abuse starting Sept. 11, 2001, when the preteen boy came to him seeking comfort after the terrorist attacks.

“I went to his house and he told me ‘I’ll give you love, I care about you,’ ” the alleged victim, Laiby, recalled Friday to The Journal News. 
He said Taubenfeld, a family friend, molested him that day and dozens of other times until he turned 13 in 2006. “I was scared and I trusted him completely, unfortunately. I was a naive child and didn’t know what he was doing was wrong.”

Laiby said he and his family reported the alleged abuse about six years ago to New Square’s Grand Rabbi David Twersky and other community leaders, who discouraged him from going to police.

“My mother, my brother and I told him (Rabbi Twersky) what was happening to me,” said Laiby, who asked that his last name not be used. “He let him (Taubenfeld) walk free.”

Rabbi Twersky has not responded to requests for comment.

Laiby’s alleged problems were similar to those of other New Square abuse victims, including a young man, Yossi, who reported Taubenfeld’s brother to police in 2011. Yossi was profiled earlier this month by The Journal News.

Laiby, who is 20, went to police in July.
“The community protected him,” Laiby said. “Since New Square did not want to deal with this, I went to police. I need to feel a closure.”

Taubenfeld, also known as Mendel Zarkowsky, was charged with second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child.
“The guy was hard to track down because he had two different names,” Ramapo Detective Lt. Mark Emma Emma said.

Taubenfeld was released on $25,000 bail Friday for an appearance scheduled for Jan. 27 in New Square Village Court.

Defense attorney Gerard Damiani said Taubenfeld denies the charges.
Damiani said the police complaint should be dismissed because it said Detective Peg Braddock had personal knowledge of the accusations. Damiani said the detective was not a witness and the charges came from the accuser.

Taubenfeld faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
“It’s a step closer to getting justice,” Laiby said of the arrest. “I’m hoping this pervert who did this to me will get his time in prison.”

Moshe Taubenfeld’s brother Herschel Taubenfeld avoided jail last year when he admitted to sexually molesting Yossi.
Herschel Taubenfeld pleaded guilty to one count of forcible touching, received six years probation and had to register as a sex offender.

Yossi publicly criticized the non-jail sentence. He and another alleged victim, Yehuda, and their advocates have accused the New Square leadership of looking the other way when it comes to sexual abuse.
They argue that New Square and other Hasidic Jewish communities have created a culture where sex abuse rarely gets reported. Those who report abuse are ostracized, they say.

The Taubenfelds are the second pair of Ramapo brothers accused of sexually abusing children. Monsey residents Shmuel Dym, 34, and his younger brother Betzalel Dym are both registered as Level 2 sex offenders.

Dr. Alan Tuckman, Rockland’s former forensic psychiatrist, said having siblings involved in sex abuse is rare, but could result from abusive upbringings.
“If they were sexually abused or demeaned as children there is a higher likelihood they would become sexual abusers,” Tuckman said, but added, “The overwhelming majority of children sexually abused do not become sex offenders.”

CNN a bunch of liars! Reports of second Christe Scandel, NOT TRUE!

On Monday, CNN flooded the airwaves with reports of a second scandal threatening to engulf New Jersey’s Chris Christie, claiming the Republican governor is under federal investigation after evidence surfaced that Hurricane Sandy relief funds were used to purchase a self-promoting advertisement campaign. But according to the federal government, that’s simply not true — and CNN has yet to issue a meaningful correction or retraction.

The story first broke early Monday morning. “CNN has learned exclusively that a federal investigation will be launched into why money meant for Hurricane Sandy relief was used in a marketing campaign involving Christie’s family,” anchor Kate Bolduan began, before punting it off to CNN’s new investigative reporter, Chris Frates.

Frates alleged that the Christie administration improperly spent $25 million in federal Hurricane Sandy relief funds on a 2013 advertisement campaign to promote tourism in the wake of the storm — even going so far as to spend $2.2 million more on one ad because the agency agreed to feature Christie and his family.

The network pushed the story hard, revisiting the report in at least fourteen separate segments on Monday alone. 

But on Tuesday, HUD’s inspector general issued a rare press release directly contradicting CNN’s story.

“The Department granted a waiver to allow the State to use $25 million of its award on a marketing campaign to promote the Jersey Shore and encourage tourism,” the release read. “An audit was initiated in September 2013 to examine whether the State administered its Tourism Marketing Program in accordance with applicable departmental and Federal requirements. This is an audit and not an investigation of the procurement process.” The statement adds that audits of federal expenditures “are something that this office does routinely.”

That means there was never any “initial review of Sandy relief spending,” no “evidence” yet dug up suggesting wrongdoing, and certainly no “full-scale investigation” — a word the federal government uses only to define a probe by law enforcement. Instead, the inspector general’s release suggests a routine accounting review, the likes of which are pursued dozens of times each year by any agency doling out large grants.

So how did CNN respond to these new revelations? The television reports mostly dried up, while a few sentences added to Chris Frates’ written report Tuesday noted that the inspector general released a statement calling the probe an audit, not an investigation.

But the “update” failed to note that the audit is part of a routine inspector general process, that the $25 million diversion for advertising was approved by HUD or that CNN was wrong in its initial claim that the federal government was pursuing a law enforcement investigation against Christie. And on Wednesday Frates pushed boldly onward, writing that the ad agency rejected by Christie was asked if they would feel “comfortable” featuring the governor in their ads and that — unsurprisingly for a New Jersey state initiative– the committee evaluating the ad proposals was made up entirely of Christie officials.

Viznitzer Rebbe bans listening to the News even by phone?

 The Viznitzer Rebbe has banned listening to the news on phones, according to a report in the Haredi World.

The rabbi delivered his new ruling during a Tu Bishvat seuda held on Thursday. Thousands of the rabbi’s followers attended the event. Tu Bishvat is the Jewish new year for trees.

The rabbi attacked those who report the news on phone lines, and ordered his people not to call and listen to them.

"If your life and the lives of your children are dear to you, do not listen to the news,” the rabbi said.

This was not the first strict ruling issued by the Viznitz grand rabbi.

 The Viznitzer  rabbi told a group of followers that those men who wear watches, should also wear earrings because they look like women.

During a recent speech for yeshiva students, the rabbi said that his followers need to fight modernization because it destroys everything that is holy.

He told his yeshiva students to wear only old-fashioned plastic eyeglasses. He also said that he recently saw a yeshiva student wearing a watch and he told him to remove it.

"Those men who wear wristwatches should wear earrings as well because they look like women," the rabbi said.

Despite owing millions to creditors, Brooklyn landlord, Menachem Stark, killed over single $20,000 debt

Police say that, Brooklyn landlord, Menachem Stark, was killed over a single $20,000 debt despite owing tens of millions of dollars to different creditors. Stark was kidnapped on Jan. 2 and his burned body was found in a dumpster the following day on Long Island

“We’re waiting for forensics on the car and tracking his calls. But he owed this money, the guy picked up in the Caravan knows him and the phone under [Stark’s] car has ties to the contractor,” the law-enforcement source said.

He owed creditors tens of millions of dollars - but police believe Brooklyn landlord Menachem Stark might have been killed over a single $20,000 debt.

A contractor Stark owed “about $20,000” to is being eyed as a suspect in his death, sources told the Daily News Thursday.

The contractor has links to both the van that was used in Stark’s Jan. 2nd kidnapping, and to a cell phone that was subsequently found attached to the undercarriage of Stark’s car, the sources said.

Police found the 2002 Dodge Caravan used in the kidnapping in Brownsville on Tuesday. They questioned the driver, who’s the son of the van’s owner.

Sources said the owner is not a suspect, but the driver had ties to the contractor.

One source said an arrest is not yet imminent.

Detectives believe the abduction might have been carried out to scare Stark, 39, into paying the debt, and that his death by suffocation might have been accidental.

A source close to the Stark family said that despite his numerous real estate holdings, the father of seven didn’t leave behind a will.

The source said Stark's longtime business partner Israel Perlmutter will take control of Stark's share of the business, while working with an appointed member of Stark's family.

Among the properties the pair owned was an apartment building called South Side in Brooklyn, which bankruptcy records show they were $40 million in debt.

Germany dictating to Jews where to live again!

Frank Walter Steinmeier

In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws, seeking to "clean" Jews living on German soil, severely restricted Jews where they could live. The Germans subsequently set up Jewish Ghettos to confine Jews to specific areas that were under German control and then sent  most of the Jewish Ghetto inhabitants to concentration camps to have them murdered.

So here comes the living bastard German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and tells reporters in Israel, immediately  after Sharon's funeral, that the Jewish State is "damaging" the peace process by building homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria. 
He went further in his discussion with Prime Minister Netanyahu, admonishing him to refrain from additional construction as "this could still disturb the process."

Mr. Steinmeier, we don't need someone whose countrymen murdered our brothers and sisters, and robbed us of our grandparents, to tell us where to live and where we can build in our own country! You already shoved us around and murdered us, you bloody hypocritical German bastard!

The van appears to have been washed and cleaned. Police hope to find forensic evidence

Police investigators are focusing on Stark's financial affairs with a now defunct Chicago bank.
Investigators are still analyzing a smartphone that had been attached to the front wheel of Stark's Lexus SUV and police stressed that while they are combing the phone for clues, they do not believe it was used as atracking device, as previously reported.

No problem with "Mesira" at Gourmet Glatt in Boro Park! Because she doesn't wear a Shtreimel!

Gourmet Glatt

It was no ordinary day at the grocery today for shoppers at one Borough Park supermarket as customers were joined by members of the NYPD’s 66th precinct who were called in to arrest a cashier who was pocketing cash instead of placing it in her register.

Borough Park resident Alyssa Csukardi was arrested at Gourmet Glatt on 39th Street on charges of petty larceny by police at 1:43 this afternoon, after internal surveillance video showed the 26 year old cashier first placing a $100 bill given to her by a customer first on top of her register, and then surreptitiously slipping it into her pocket once the customer had left.

“The manager of the store started realizing that they were missing $100 every night from the same register when they were cashing out,” Motty Katz of Borough Park Shomrim told VIN News.

“He went into his office and after searching on his video surveillance, he sees how she is taking money from a customer and instead of putting it in her register, she is putting it in her pocket.  We saw it once, we saw it twice and we called the police.”

According to an NYPD spokesperson, Csukardi was arrested and then issued a desk appearance ticket before being released.  Csukardi will be required to appear in court at an as yet undetermined future date to face charges in the theft.

“This happened maybe five or six times,” estimated Katz, who said that Csukardi, who had been only been working for Gourmet Glatt for a few weeks, seemed surprised that she was being arrested.

“As she was being handcuffed she said to us, ‘I didn’t think I was going to get arrested. I thought the money would just come out of my paycheck,’” reported Katz.

The defendant, known as Lemon Juice, was arrested in November 2012 during the explosive trial of Nechemya Weberman after a photo of the victim — who was 18 at the time — appeared on Twitter showing her testifying. Lemon Juice and two others are charged with criminal contempt.

Legal papers obtained by the Daily News show the real poster is believed to be Moses Klein, the personal driver of the Satmar sect’s grand rabbi.

The document said the AOL email address associated with the Lemon Juice account is registered to Klein, “the driver and right-hand man to Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum.

”

The case against the three defendants was pushed back to Feb. 7 after a prosecutor said plea offers may be made.
