Israeli Stock Exchange Narrowly Avoids Crash after USA Downgrade!

Tel Aviv shares closed nearly 7 percent lower on Sunday in the first response of a developed market to Standard & Poor's downgrade of the United States' credit rating that has sparked fears of another global recession.

The Israeli market along with a few emerging markets in the Middle East were the first to trade after S&P late on Friday cut the U.S. long-term credit rating by a notch to AA-plus from AAA due to concerns about the country's budget and climbing debt burden.

Israel's market is closed on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Tel Aviv market opening was delayed by nearly an hour as circuit breakers kicked in when shares fell more than 5 percent in pre-market trade.

The last time circuit breakers were used was on Sept. 21, 2008, after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a stock exchange spokeswoman said.

The market fears the U.S. debt situation could spiral out of control and possibly lead to a "double-dip" economic recession, said Zach Herzog, head of international sales at the Psagot brokerage.

Asked by Channel 2 television if the downgrade was dangerous for Israel, Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said: "It's not directly dangerous, but it's certainly a warning sign that the global crisis has not yet passed and we still have to navigate the Israeli economy through very rough waters."

"If the U.S. sinks into a recession, the Israeli economy can't come out of that unscathed. We are dependent on sending goods and services out," Herzog told Reuters, noting exports account for 45 percent of Israel's gross domestic product with two-thirds of exports going to the United States and Europe.

"J Street" has done more damage to Israel than any other American organization: Allen Dershowitz!

Prominent Israel advocate Prof. Alan Dershowitz hit back at a book by the founder of J Street charging that he and others have silenced criticism of the Jewish state, in a recent interview with The Jerusalem Post.

“It’s a myth that criticism of Israel is silenced,” Dershowitz said in a phone interview with the Post on Thursday. I have spoken at AIPAC many times and have criticized Israeli policy. AIPAC has never silenced me, because AIPAC knows I’m pro-Israel.”

J Street President Jeremy Ben- Ami’s recently released book, A New Voice for Israel: Fighting for the Survival of the Jewish Nation, singles out Dershowitz, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee and other members of the US Jewish establishment.

In the book, Ben-Ami argues that the major Jewish organizations and pro-Israel advocates in America have “created a situation where one can’t question or criticize Israeli policy or actions without being branded an outcast.”

Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor, vehemently expressed disagreement with that assertion.
“Ben-Ami was in diapers when I opposed the occupation and was in favor of the two-state solution,” Dershowitz said on Thursday.
“See, I’m [J Street’s] worst nightmare. I oppose the occupation. But I’m really pro-Israel, unlike them.”
Dershowitz also argued that J Street’s actions have had a deleterious effect on the next generation’s ability to effectively advocate for Israel.
“I think J Street has done more damage to Israel than any [other] American organization,” he said.
“It has made a generation of Jews ashamed to be pro-Israel, and has made it politically correct among young people to single out Israel to a double standard and for fault.”

Child-Murder Arrest After 53 Years

Maria Ridulph's abduction shattered America's sleepy, suburban 1950s fairy tale. Winston Ross on the incredible story of how the alleged killer—18 then, 71 now—was finally caught.

The last time anybody saw 7-year-old Maria Ridulph alive, she was just outside her home, near the corner of Archie Place and Center Cross in the small town of Sycamore, Ill., 50 miles west of Chicago. It was December, and she was playing with a friend, Cathy Sigman, enjoying the first snowfall of the year, when a young white male in a multicolored sweater approached them and introduced himself as "Johnny.”

Johnny asked the girls if they wanted a piggyback ride. Maria agreed, and he hoisted her onto his back and tromped up and down the sidewalk. Then he asked if they had any dolls. Maria said she did, and ran back to her house to find one. While she was gone, Johnny touched Cathy on the arm and thigh and told her she was pretty, the 8-year-old later told police. Maria came back with the doll, and Cathy went home to get her mittens. But when she returned, Maria and Johnny were gone. 

That was 53 years ago. 

Now he has been, say authorities in Illinois. Thanks to an unused train ticket that slipped out of a picture frame, on June 29 police in Seattle picked up a former cop and self-styled "modeling agent" with a keen interest in young girls. The man, Jack Daniel McCullough, has been extradited to Illinois to face murder charges that are more than half a century old.

"It changed my life forever," said Cathy Sigman, now Cathy Chapman, who lives in St. Charles, in an interview with The Daily Chronicle of DeKalb County, Ill. "My childhood was never the same since."

The search for Maria Ridulph and the man in the multicolored sweater became a nationwide obsession. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and President Eisenhower demanded daily updates. The girl's skeleton turned up four months later, found by mushroom hunters, but her killer was never caught.

Obama's Sole Middle East Policy is to Attack Israel!

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has explained repeatedly over the years that Israel has no Palestinian partner to negotiate with. So news reports this week that Netanyahu agreed that the 1949 armistice lines, (commonly misrepresented as the 1967 borders), will be mentioned in terms of reference for future negotiations with the Palestinian Authority seemed to come out of nowhere.

Israel has no one to negotiate with because the Palestinians reject Israel’s right to exist. This much was made clear yet again last month when senior PA “negotiator” Nabil Sha’ath said in an interview with Arabic News Broadcast, “The story of ‘two states for two peoples’ means that there will be a Jewish people over there and a Palestinian people here. We will never accept this.”

Given the Palestinians’ position, it is obvious that Netanyahu is right. There is absolutely no chance whatsoever that Israel and the PA will reach any peace deal in the foreseeable future.

Add to this the fact that the Hamas terror group controls Gaza and will likely win any new Palestinian elections just as it won the last elections, and the entire exercise in finding the right formula for restarting negotiations is exposed as a complete farce.

So why is Israel engaging in these discussions? The only logical answer is to placate US President Barack Obama.

Airplane Passenger gets heart attack on flight, Flight Crew has no clue what to do, gives him a sandwich and a soda and charges him for it!

When Per-Erik Jonsson went into a cardiac arrest on a RyanAir flight from the U.K. to Sweden on Sunday, all the airline staff did was offer him a sandwich. 

Jonsson, 63, broke into a cold sweat and asked his wife for some water roughly one hour into the flight, Sweden'sThe Local reports.

His wife soon realized that Jonsson had lost consciousness and alerted plane staff as Jonsson's stepdaughter, Billie Appleton, tried to rouse him. "He didn't respond when I tried to shake him. But after I slapped him in the chest, he began breathing again," Appleton, who happens to be a nurse, told The Local. Appleton said she shouted for a doctor and told flight crew that Jonsson needed oxygen.

But the flight crew, Appleton claims, was ill-equipped to handle the situation. Instead, she says, the airline "said he had low blood pressure and gave him a sandwich and a soda." 

Appleton slapped Jonsson on the chest to get him to breath again, news.com.au reports.

Once Jonsson had recovered slightly, the flight crew came to the family asking for payment for the sandwich and soda.

EU regulations mandate that cabin crew be trained in first-aid and pilots should alert air traffic control about a seriously ill passenger.

In a statement to The Local, Ryanair defended the cabin crew, saying they had acted appropriately.

Leon Weinstein survived the Warsaw Ghetto. But it is the story of the little girl that he wants to tell.

Leon Weinstein & Daughter Natalie

She was Jewish, but to live she needed a Christian name.
She could not be Natalie Leya Weinstein, not in wartimeWarsaw. Her father wrote her new name on a piece of paper.
Natalie Yazinska.
Her mother, Sima, sobbed.
"The little one must make it," Leon Weinstein told his wife. "We got no chance. But the little one, she is special. She must survive."
He fixed a metal crucifix to a necklace and hung it on their daughter. On the paper, he scrawled another fiction: "I am a war widow, and I have no way of taking care of her. I beg of you good people, please take care of her. In the name of Jesus Christ, he will take care of you for this."
A cold wind cut at the skin that December morning, so Leon Weinstein bundled Natalie, 18 months old, in heavy pants and a thick wool sweater. He headed for a nearby apartment, the home of a lawyer and his wife. The couple did not have a child. Weinstein hoped they wanted one.
He lay Natalie on their front step. Tears ran down his cheeks. You will make it, he thought. She had blond locks and blue eyes. They will think you are a Gentile, not one of us.
Walking away, he could hear her whimper, but forced himself not to look back until he crossed the street. Then he turned and saw a man step out of the apartment. The man read Weinstein's note. He puzzled over the baby.
Cradling Natalie in his arms, the man walked half a block to a police station and disappeared inside.
Weinstein was beside himself.
What if the Gestapo took her from the police? What if they decided that she was a Jew?

Today, at his small Spanish-style home in Mid-City, Weinstein, 101, recalls in agonizing detail what it was like to give up his baby in 1941 amid the Nazi juggernaut. He is frail, but his wit and memory are keen. He remembers well what followed: killing Germans, dodging death, hunting for Natalie.

Holocaust scholars vouch for his account, calling him one of the last living fighters from the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, almost certainly the oldest. For years, Weinstein kept his memories buried.
No more.
It is important to tell about Nazi horrors, he now says, so they are never forgotten. It is, he says, important to tell the story of his search for his little girl.
Weinstein was born in the Jewish village of Radzymin, Poland. As a child, he was independent, even stubborn. His family adhered to Orthodox Judaism, but he never fully believed. He defied his elders and grew into something of a tough. Eyes gleaming, he recalls those who called him a "dirty Jew."
"They'd meet my fists," he says. "Then they'd be picking their teeth from the ground."
By 15, he had run away from home and was living in Warsaw, where he worked as a tailor's assistant, then for a clothing company. In his 20s, he married Sima. After Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, they were forced to live in Radzymin with other Jews.
Natalie was born the next year. When she was a year old, Weinstein heard a Nazi guard say that German troops would soon send everyone in Radzymin to a death camp.
He prepared to flee and begged his extended family to leave too. They refused, saying Germans would never do such a thing.
But Weinstein had seen Nazi cruelty first-hand. So he slipped away, with his wife and daughter, into the nearby forest. It was far from a haven: anti-Semitic Polish thugs roamed there.
Using forged papers that identified him as a Christian, Weinstein and his family headed to Warsaw. They hoped that the sprawling capital would be a good hiding place. Sima had no papers; if the Naziscaught her, all three might be killed.

A Polish couple promised to hide Sima, but Weinstein and the baby would draw too much attention. They decided to leave Natalie on the lawyer's doorstep. Weinstein would head for the confines of the Warsaw Ghetto, where fellow Jews would give him shelter.
"This was a place completely unimaginable," Weinstein says. "A place worse even than the hell that Dante described."
The ghetto was surrounded by an 11-foot-high brick wall, barbed wire and guards. More than 400,000 Jews had been forced inside the 3.5-square-mile area. By early 1943, an estimated 300,000 of them had been shipped to Treblinka, a death camp in northeast Poland.
Nazis rationed food for those who remained and many died of starvation. Disease killed thousands more. Weinstein feared constantly for Natalie and Sima and was certain he would die.

He joined the ghetto resistance. "If we were going to die," Weinstein says, "we would do it on our own terms. We would die standing proud, on our feet, making a statement to the world. We would take as many of those bastards as we could kill."
He helped organize and train resistance fighters. On occasion, using his forged papers, he talked his way out of the ghetto and smuggled weapons back inside.

On April 19, 1943, the first night of Passover, the Nazis began their final push to wipe out the ghetto. When German tanks rolled forward, Jewish fighters appeared at windows, on rooftops, along street corners. They hurled grenades, Molotov cocktails, bricks and rocks. Weinstein ran along rooftops in a fury, strafing Nazis with a machine gun.
The resistance held, but only for a while. "When could I have been killed?" Weinstein says. "Every five minutes." He says it again, pausing between each word. "Every…five…minutes."

One day he was crouched on the second floor of an abandoned building when he heard the footsteps of Nazi troops on the stairs. It's over, he told himself.
He looked out a window. A solitary soldier stood guard below.
Weinstein leaped. His steel-toed boots slammed into the soldier's head. "He fell like a sack of stones," Weinstein says. "I could see his skull, his blood, brains. For killing a man who hunted me, I felt nothing but good — and I was so excited I felt no pain.
"I was alive at least for another day."
Weinstein hid in sewers that swarmed with rats and human waste. He eventually found a way out that seemed safe, but was too weak to lift the iron cover.
Was this how he would die?
He fell asleep and dreamed of his grandfather, a deeply religious man. " 'You must keep going,'" his grandfather told him. "'You must. Don't stop.'"
Weinstein awoke with new energy. He hunched his back against the manhole cover, gathered all of his strength and pushed. It opened.
In the early morning darkness, he hunted for someone who would shelter a fleeing Jew who stank of sewage and looked as though he might collapse and die.
A Warsaw couple he had known before the war took him in.
Weinstein asked after his relatives who had stayed behind in Radzymin. All were dead. He looked for Sima. He learned she was dead too.
By spring 1945, the war was over, and surviving Jews began to leave the country. Weinstein was not among them. He had to find Natalie.
His first stop was the street where he'd left his little girl. It was mostly rubble, but one building stood untouched — the police station.
He walked in. "Do you remember hearing about an abandoned girl who was taken here?"
One officer did. The girl had been taken to a nearby convent.
The nuns there remembered, too. The baby was among several they tried to shelter. Disease claimed some, but the baby named Natalie survived. When the fighting drew near, she was sent to a cloister in the countryside.
Over bombed-out roads, pedaling hard on his bicycle, Weinstein made his way there. But Natalie was gone, sent to another group of nuns. On he went, to convent after convent, sometimes sleeping in fields.
The story was the same. Natalie had been there, but nobody knew where she was now. Nobody knew if she was alive.
After six months, Weinstein returned to the city, exhausted.
Then, against all hope, he decided to visit a convent near the ghetto. He walked past a statue of the Virgin Mary, then into a hall where dozens of pale, thin orphans stood.
"Mister, mister." They grabbed at his tall, brown boots. "Mister, mister, take me, take me."As he drew away, frustrated, a nun walked past, carrying a bony, blond girl, who looked about 4. He looked into the child's eyes. They were blue.
This, he said, was Natalie.

"She is yours?" the nun asked. "How can we know?"
"If she is," Weinstein said, "then she has a little brown birthmark, the size of a pencil eraser, just near her right hip."
The nun lifted the girl's dirty gray shirt and they looked.
He had found Natalie.
Weinstein and Natalie moved to France.
In time, he married Sophie, another Holocaust survivor and they had a son, Michael.

In 1952, the family took a ship to New York, then a train to L.A., where Weinstein became a successful clothing manufacturer. In 1993, Michael died in a car accident. Twelve years later, Sophie died of heart disease.
Weinstein remains full of life. He recites the Torah at Congregation Atzei Chaim, the Beverly Grove synagogue he has attended for seven decades.
He reads three newspapers and sips at least one glass of Chivas Regal, on the rocks, every day.
He rarely goes more than two waking hours without telephoning the woman who fusses over him, who tends to his every need. She is a psychologist known by her married name: Natalie Gold Lumer.

Every Friday night, father and daughter share a Shabbat meal. They gather with family and friends, light candles, hold hands, tell stories and offer lengthy prayers of thanks.
"It was terrible, what I went through," Weinstein said at a dinner not long ago. "But it was worth what I came away with: my beautiful daughter."
Natalie looked at him, shaking her head. There was a long silence.
"To have a father with such courage," she said, finally. "Well, I owe everything to him....I owe him my life."

Rabbis Ban I Pod !

With the heading "Daas Torah" in large bold letters, 54 Rabbis banned the I Pod and the MP4 even if it contains words of torah! 

Amongst the signers is of course  Rabbi Moishe Green, who will sign any ban.

The ban basically states that it is prohibited to buy or sell any of the above mentioned devices and even to hear "words of torah." 

They also warn sellers not to sell or load these devices with words of torah even if it is for a Mitzvah...

Nowhere in the ban does it state that it is prohibited to molest and sodomize children!

Medical Study: You can be fat, not exercise & drink and smoke and you can still live to be 100 years old!

Academics studied almost 500 people between 95 and 109 and compared them with over 3,000 others born during the same period.

They found those who lived extremely long lives ate just as badly, drank and smoked just as much, took just as little exercise and were just as likely to be overweight as their long-gone friends.

The study was carried out by researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, who interviewed 477 very long lived Ashkenazi Jews.

Prof Nir Barzilai, director of the college's Institute of Ageing Research, said previous studies of this group had identified certain genes which protected them from the effects of a normal Western lifestyle.

This research, published today (Wednesday) in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society, indicates it really is the genes that matter.

He explained that this study provided evidence that these and other "longevity genes" helped "to buffer them against the harmful effects of an unhealthy lifestyle".

He said the first woman he interviewed, an 109-year-old, told him she had smoked 40 cigarettes a day for 90 years. While most people would have died of lung cancer or heart disease, she soldiered on.

Prof Barzilai emphasised that the research did not mean most people could live unhealthy lives and not expect to pay a price in the end.

He said: "Although this study demonstrates that centenarians can be obese, smoke and avoid exercise, those lifestyle habits are not good choices for most of us who do not have a family history of longevity.

Nine Days Are Almost over: How to cook a "Roasted Ribeye" Video

69% Say Scientists Have Falsified Global Warming Research

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that 69% say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs, including 40% who say this is Very Likely. Twenty-two percent (22%) don’t think it’s likely some scientists have falsified global warming data, including just six percent (6%) say it’s Not At All Likely. Another 10% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here .)

The number of adults who say it’s likely scientists have falsified data is up 10 points from December 2009 .

Fifty-seven percent (57%) believe there is significant disagreement within the scientific community on global warming, up five points from late 2009. One in four (25%) believes scientists agree on global warming. Another 18% aren’t sure.

Republicans and adults not affiliated with either major political party feel stronger than Democrats that some scientists have falsified data to support their global warming theories, but 51% of Democrats also agree.

Levi Aron Pleads Not Guilty In Kletzky Murder. Suspect Fit For Trial! Asked for not Kosher food during initial questioning!

Despite the alleged confession, police and prosecutors say they are continuing to work on verifying Aron's horrific and bizarre explanation for the boy's death. It remains unclear why Aron would have taken the child in the first place.

The medical examiner's office said the boy was given a cocktail of prescription drugs. But Aron's confession didn't mention that, and he denied ever tying up the boy.

The suspect was asked if he wanted a kosher meal. "No, I'll eat anything," he replied, according to the documents. They considered McDonald's before settling on Chinese food.

Before the arraignment, State Assemblyman Dov Hikind told reporters that the victim's family and community were still coming to grips with the gruesome slaying.

"The idea of an insanity defense is just not acceptable," Hikind said. "He planned and plotted this entire horror that he committed."

A pretrial hearing was set for Oct. 14.

The Heat of the "Three Weeks" by guest blogger Hannah Greenberg

Fire purifies. Fire destroys. Fire is iconic of the ‘Three Weeks,’ a time of devastation, and, B’ezrat Hashem, also of renewal.

More profound than our giving up shoes on Tish B’Av, more significant than our foregoing meat during the Nine Days, more important than our refraining from music during the period of time lasting from the Fast of Tammuz through the Fast of the 9^th of Av, in fact, more weighty than any other basic aspect of this time of grief, of profound loss, is our need to be more open minded toward each other.

Consider that following that other time of narrowness, our slavery in Egypt, we were emancipated, and, somehow, we merited both to receive the Torah and to enter Eretz Yisrael, thereafter. This time, in contrast, we think that the best we can do is to pray for the fulfillment of our lives as that fulfillment would be manifest in the establishment of the Third Temple and in the arrival of Moshiach. Nonetheless, we forget that last time our restrictions were not self-imposed and our passage through the straits resembled the helpful squeezing that occurs during childbirth. This time, quite the opposite is true. By dint of our self-serving values, we caused the walls to close in on us. This time, on the contrary, we will be fortunate if our journey through our self-wrought tightness does not destroy us.

Our legacy of baseless hatred, of judging without cause, of casting ourselves apart from others among us, brought about the contemporary pressures from which we now suffer.

In associating ourselves with strata, with separateness, with the types of dissonance that gets called up by categorizing ourselves as “them” and “us,” we destroyed not only Hashem’s physical house in the Old City, i.e.  the Temple, but we laid waste, also, to the holy places within ourselves. 
When we elevated the act of making comparisons and contrasts to a place of merit, we, in turn, downgrade our souls to a place of shadows.

Now, that is, during this time/space, which we occupy, only the breaking open of our hearts, only the revealing of our most vulnerable depths, only our subsequent experiencing of grief can restore us to light, to thresholds higher than those of the status quo, can pull us up to our potential. Such an aliyah is not a matter of our merely integrating our learning into words, but is a matter of our weaving our words into deeds and our deeds into habits.

It’s no longer sufficient for us to claim championship because we have managed to guard our thoughts from unrestrained fantasy or have otherwise rid our minds of whimsy. Contemplation count, it just doesn’t count enough to bring us to the next level. Rather, simultaneous with any private designs, we might collectively construct, out of our ideations, acts of loving kindness. As an entire people, we must grow choices that are comprehensive, we must elect intentionality that brings accord, we must make efforts to behave in ways that celebrate all of us, that leaves none among our tribes, behind.

Such goals can feel unrealistic; it is one thing to claim to love the Klal, another to hold ourselves back from casting dispersions on other Jews and on other interpretations of Jewish activities, especially when we don’t understand or like existent alternatives. And yet, it is required of us to appreciate, as we claim we do during the three festivals, Sukkot, Pesach, and Shavuot, as we symbolize by gathering together four very different species, by referring to four very different sons, and by pointing to the whole of the generation of the miracles on Har Sinai, that, specifically, without some portion of our people we are lacking.

To bring Moshiach and the Third Temple, exactly, and to cover ourselves with unprecedented peace, more generally, we must urge and help all other Jews to join with us. We must make and sanctify social inclusivity. We must get beyond present interpersonal restrictions, and, in doing so, built a comfortable channel for The Boss’s Goodness. Only our improvement of our relations with other Jews will bring our rescue. Else wise, we will continue to fail to overcome our current, overwhelming existential tightness. There can be no wishing away of it.

This daunting goal, what’s more, is a necessary vision. Without it, we risk remainingaliened from Hashem and from all of His higher spheres. We chance that the cosmic reflection of our earlier alienation of our brethren will continue to be both the cause and the ongoing means of our ban from all things beneficent, from all things that truly matter.

Despite our life circumstance, it is the nature of the universe for us to be pressed upon. It is our merit, though, to determine whether or not those forces, most of all the unpleasant ones, will merely seem, or actually be, exerted upon us, and whether or not those weights result in good, or, has v’shalom, its opposite, in our lives. It is our decision whether or not we escape the void, the spiritual exile, whether or not we continue to have difficulties because we have failed to heal the psychic hurts we laid upon ourselves.

It is in our power to reduce the amount of pain we endure before our final healing. We can propagate actions that bring about unity, understanding, and, ultimately, transcendence. We can burn in intense devotion to each other, in the mitzvot bein adam l’chaveiro. We can herald an era of harmony and of good fortune if we apply ourselves to do so.

America's got talent! Team Iluminate!

R" Amnon Yitzchok blames the murder of Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira on haredi singers and songs that he feels are improper!

R' Amnon (left), R' Abuhatzeira Z"L (right)

Rav Amnon Yitzchok arrived at his theory by using  gematria (numerology) . The gematria of the name of the murderer is 560, the gematria of the word "songs" is 560, and the "Siman" in Shulchan Aruch that prohibits songs is 560.

He added and I will loosely translate it after the Hebrew: Parentheses are ours:

"כיון שהצדיק היה מקפיד בעניינים אלה, יש לנו מסר גדול, שצריכים להתחזק בעניינים האלה של קדושה וצניעות וטהרה, ובפרט ב'גזירת החורבן' - לא לשמוע שירים אסורים ופסולים מזמרים פסולים ואסורים כל ימות השנה. גם לא מזמרים כשרים כל ימות השנה, רק במועדים שהתירה ההלכה. אין מסר יותר ברור מזה".

"ואדם שמקל בזה", הוסיף הרב אמנון יצחק, "אם יתברר שאני צודק במה שאני אומר, יתבעו אותו בשמים על סילוקם של הצדיקים. תזכרו את הדברים שאמרתי ואולי יהיה לנו שכל לשוב בתשובה סופסוף לפני הצונאמי שיגיע, כי הצונאמי ביפן ובהאיטי זה כלום לעומת סילוק של צדיק".

"Since this rightous man (R' Abuhatzeira) was very strict with these issues, there is a very strong message in his death that we have to be careful  in matters of Tznius .... especially after the ancient Rabbis decreed after the destruction of the Bais Hamikdash, not to listen  to any prohibitive music throughout the year and even Kosher music throughout the year. One can only hear music at holidays... and there is nothing clearer than this.

And any person that takes this rule lightly, is and will be responsible for the death of the Tzadikim. Remember my words and do tesuvah before the Tsunami hits us.  The tsunami that hit Japan and Haiti is nothing compared to the death of the Righteous."

Dus iz nies:

560 is also the gematria of the following word in hebrew: לישועה ולנחמה which actually translates to "salvation and comfort" so I have no idea how this would fit into his equation..

560 is also the gematria of רננו צדיקים ..."the rightous shall sing" this gematria actually contradicts his theory.... but who am I to say??????????

UPDATE!!!! Desperate battle to defuse collar bomb hung round neck of girl, 18, 'being held to ransom' at multi-million pound mansion: Video

* Balaclava-clad intruder 'broke in and attached bomb and note to girl'
* Shaken parents outside house haven't spoke to their daughter yet

* Family is one of Sydney's wealthiest with mansion in exclusive street

* Bomb officers investigating other 'items' in house

* 'Life of young girl potentially at risk', say police
* Bomb is proving a 'tough nut to crack'

Four bomb squad officers have entered a house in a wealthy suburb of Sydney where a terrified teenage girl has had an explosive device strapped to her body by a balaclava-clad intruder.

Police said a 'delicate operation' was taking place in a property in the suburb of Mosman where wealthy families including bankers, stockbrokers, sports personalities and company directors live.

A senior police officer described the device as an unusual 'collar bomb', which has never been seen before in Australia, but an exact description has yet to be officially given.

Update!!!!!!!!!!5:10 New York Time

After 10 hours, police in a wealthy suburb of Sydney released a teenager involved in a bomb scare. Police refused to confirm media reports that the teenager had been strapped to an explosive device in an apparent extortion attempt.
Update at 3:30 p.m. ET: Assistant Police Commissioner Mark Murdoch said the British armed forces were contacted, because they had experience with the device, described as a collar bomb, The Australian  says. Police reportedly have X-rayed the intact device and are analyzing its components before attempting to defuse it.
Murdoch said the 18-year-old girl, Madeleine Pulver, was kept in an "uncomfortable position" during the ordeal and was taken to hospital for evaluation early Thursday,The Daily Telegraph reports.

The reason why the Jewish People lost respect for their leaders .... they are constantly in courts and not in Bais Din!

Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum

Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum

Mordechai Tendler

Torah leaders constantly preach to their naive flock that a Jew who has a conflict with another Jew, should resolve their issues in a Bais Din. The leaders themselves do not listen to their own sermons and refuse to follow Torah law. Take for example Mordechai Tendler of New Hempstead, who constantly admonished his kehillah to follow our holy Torah and resolve their perspective issues in a Jewish Bais Din "al pi Torah."Mordechai Tendler as of this writing is in secular court suing his former Kehillah for back pay, because they fired him for having sexual affairs with members of his own congregation. Tendler did in fact subpoena his kehilah to a Bais Din but then refused to show up. Tendler is now suing google to identify the various bloggers  for reporting the truth that he had multiple affairs.
And now we have two Chassidic Rabbis suing each other in Secular Court to determine who the leader of the Satmar Chassidim is.

The succession battle between two brothers to be the leader of an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect is back in the courts.

The brothers, Zalman and Aaron Teitelbaum, have been fighting for years in religious and state civil courts to determine who should head the Satmar wing of Hasidic Judaism. The Teitelbaums' father, Moses, was the long-time Satmar boss, but he died without naming a successor.

Aaron Teitelbaum governs Kiryas Joel, a town about 60 miles from New York City. The largely Yiddish-speaking town was founded in the 1970s and its residents strictly observe Jewish religious rules.

Zalman Teitelbaum runs a similiar Satmar community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in New York City.

The latest development in the fraternal battle was sparked by a group of Zalman's supporters who live in Kiryas Joel. They have accused Kiryas Joel of running a repressive theocracy and asked a federal judge to dissolve the self-governing community.

In court papers filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday, a Kiryas Joel offical who stands accused by the angry residents said the legal fight was a tactic to change the town's leadership.

"Plaintiffs ... attempt through this case to drag Moses Witriol ... into the middle of their dispute concerning leadership," Witriol, the town's director of public safety, said in court filings.

In an amended complaint filed last month, the Zalman Teitelbaum supporters said Kiryas Joel officials selectively enforced laws and discriminated against them because of their religious beliefs. They asked U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who is presiding over the case, to direct New York State to dissolve the municipality.

The case is Kiryas Joel Alliance et al. v. Village of Kiryas Joel et al., U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-3982.
