First they throw rocks on IDF soldiers then they burn down the apartment of the Mashgiach

When Roshei Yeshiva, Rabbonim, and other leaders of the Chareidie community keep their mouth shut and don't condemn the violence against their fellow brothers in uniform, then Hashem makes sure that this comes back to bite them!

A  yeshiva Bochur attending Yeshivas Lev Simcha, affiliated with the Ger Chassidus, located in Arad, set the room of the mashgiach ablaze over a dispute between them. The arson attack occurred last week and police launched an investigation after it was determined the fire was the result of arson. 

A 20-year-old talmid was taken into custody on motzei Shabbos 12 Sivan. The suspect is a resident of Ashdod.

Police report the suspect connected himself to the allegations against him and an indictment was filed while the prosecution wants the suspect held without bail. 

The suspect appeared before a Beersheva court on Tuesday, 15 Sivan. The suspect remains in jail for the time being.

Friends of the suspect and other talmidim in the yeshiva are having a most difficult time digesting the realities of the case. It is explained the fire occurred on a day that everyone traveled to a chasenah so no one was around in the yeshiva.

District Police Chief David Shariki added B”H the blaze was brought under control and no one was killed or injured. He confirms the suspect connected himself to the crime of which he stands accused, also confirming police are asking that the suspect is denied bail.

A Montreal woman, one of only two surviving babies to have been born in Auschwitz, spoke Tuesday at the war crimes trial of 93 year old Oskar Groening, who is being charged with complicity in the murder of 300,000 Jews in the notorious death camp

70 year old Angela Orosz-Richt, who was born just weeks before the liberation of Auschwitz, originally had no interest in taking part in the trial, being held in Lunenberg, Germany, according to her son, Lakewood resident Yubie Richt. 

Orosz-Richt was persuaded to return to the death camp during the recent 70th anniversary celebration of the liberation of Auschwitz, where she saw the places her mother, Vera Bein, had spoken about and the place where her father, Tibor Bein, died.

“She met a lawyer on that trip who told her that he is trying Nazis in court and he really wanted her to testify but she kept on brushing it off,” Richt told VIN News.  “Her step brother had gone and testified and found it to be a vindicating experience.”

Orosz-Richt began considering testifying in the Groening trial but it was the testimony of another survivor that convinced her that she needed to share her mother’s story.

“Her main motivation was Eva Kor, who appeared in court and said she forgives the Nazis,” said Richt. “My mother got physically sick from it and that is what she is fighting against. She is not fighting against the deniers. She is not fighting anti-Semitism. She is fighting that appearance and speaking out on behalf of others who refuse to forgive.”

In her appearance Tuesday, Orosz-Richt faced Groening and told him that she could never forgive the Nazis for decimating her family.  Orosz-Richt, who was born two months prematurely weighing a single kilo, spoke about her mother, who became a subject of medical experimentation in Auschwitz and her miraculous birth and survival under horrific conditions.

“I survived for a reason,” said Orosz-Richt. “I survive for a reason.  I have a mission. To speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. To carry the torch and tell my mother’s story and the story of the Holocaust of European Jewry. To stand and point an accusing finger at those responsible for the inhumanity into which I was born. Those who helped watched and profited from the terror. Those like you, Herr Groening.”

Alternately addressing both the court and Groening, Orosz-Richt described how her parents, who married in 1943, were deported to Auschwitz just one year later from the Hungarian town of Sarospatak.

“I heard that you, Herr Groening, described arrival at Auschwitz as orderly,” said Orosz-Richt in her testimony.  “To the Jews there, it was not. Instead it was traumatizing. We, I in my mother’s belly, were beaten and herded by SS men with whips and machine-guns shouting ‘Everyone out!’ ‘Schnell!’ ‘Leave your baggage on the train.’ There were SS men, your colleagues, Herr Groening, standing in watchtowers with machine guns and spotlights on us, watching the chaos. From up there, the madness may have seemed orderly, but down on the platform it was not. To her dying day, my mother was afraid of barking dogs, because of that day.”

Orosz-Richt said that her parents watched as new arrivals were sorted. The elderly, the frail, the children and the noticeably pregnant women, were sent to the left, where they were told they would be showering.

“These Jews were not showered-instead they were gassed,” said Orosz-Richt.  “Herded into gas chambers. Dead before their belongings had been collected and taken to the warehouse. It is a painful death from Zyklon B gas. A pesticide. It can take 20 minutes to die with foaming mouth and bleeding from various body parts. Horrible deaths, millions of children and adults, Herr Groening, and you knew what was happening. Because of this, for the rest of her life, my mother couldn’t take a shower. Just baths. After many years, she still couldn’t believe that it was water coming out of the shower, not gas.”

Despite telling Joseph Mengele, who was sorting the newly arrived prisoners, that she was pregnant, Vera Bein was stripped of her dignity and humanity as she was shaved, tattooed, given prison garb and sentenced to forced labor.  While she survived the backbreaking work, her husband did not.

Originally assigned to search for valuables in the possessions taken from newly arrived Jewish prisoners, Vera Bein was transferred to a heavy labor detail when she was five months pregnant.  Orosz-Richt said that her mother spent her days building roads and working in the fields.

“She told me, ‘If we found plants in the fields, animal food not even meant for human consumption, there was a celebration among us. It was as though we found treasure. Like a Sachertorte.  We shared it.  We ate it.’”

As her pregnancy progressed Vera Bein told her Blackaeltest that she was expecting.  While an admission of that nature would have normally been a death sentence, she was sent to a special barrack where she was charged with taking care of children, particularly the twins that became victims of Mengele’s science experiments.  In time, Vera Bein herself became a human guinea pig for Mengele and his team of “doctors,” selected for sterilization experiments in her seventh month of pregnancy.

“They injected a burning substance into her cervix,” testified Orosz-Richt.  “Right behind, in her uterus, was the fetus. Me. These injections were terrible, painful.  Injection one, the fetus moved to the left side….next day another injection, the fetus moved in the other direction. And they played that game for a while. Those experiments are the reason I do not have any brothers or sisters.”

Their demented scientific projects concluded, Vera Bein was sent back to her barracks.

“Because she was fed so little, I was so tiny that the pregnancy didn’t show,” said Orosz-Richt.  “If not for this we would have both been killed before I had taken my first breath.”

Orosz Richt was born on a cold December day on a top bunk in the barrack.

“That is how I came into this world,” said Orosz Richt. “In a barrack filled with children, none of whom knew I was born. I was so malnourished that I weight one kilo and was unable to cry.  This was the only reason I survived.”

Just three hours after giving birth to her daughter, Vera Bein was forced to go out into the cold for roll call.

“The whole time she was praying that I would still be alive when she returned to the barrack,” said Orosz-Richt. “It was winter, and the wooden shoes the inmates wore were dangerous because of snow and ice. If she fell, they would shoot her. She was shivering, no clothes, no shoes, but one thing was burning inside her: I have a child, I have to save her!”

One month later Auschwitz was liberated and a second child was born in Auschwitz.  Because the newborn’s mother did not have enough milk to nurse her son, Orosz-Richt somehow managed to nurse both babies, despite her own nutritional deficiencies.

It was eleven months later that Vera Bein was finally able to return to Hungary.  With her baby weighing just over six pounds, she went from doctor to doctor looking for someone who could help her sickly child.

“My mother went from doctor to doctor but none of them had any hope that they could help, or that I would grow into a healthy baby,” testified Orosz-Richt. “My mother was the only one convinced that I would live. People used to call her a crazy woman. They thought she had lost her mind in Auschwitz and that I was a doll, because I couldn’t move. I did not look like a human baby. I looked like a rag doll. One doctor held me upside down like a chicken, and said that if I raised my head there was a chance that I might survive, and he would help. I did! After that he cared for me for several years until my bones were strong enough to walk on. The legacy of Auschwitz, of my mother’s starvation and abuse, never disappeared completely. I stand less than 5 feet tall today.”

Addressing Groening, Orosz-Richt noted that today would have been her father’s birthday.

“Herr Groening, I am sure you visit your wife’s and your parents’ graves to pour out your heart, if you have one,” said Orosz- Richt.  “I cannot do that. I cannot go to my father’s grave to say a prayer, because he does not have a grave. His remains were burned and his ashes scattered around Auschwitz, maybe in the grounds of the camp, maybe shovelled into the forest or used as fertilizer on the surrounding fields. Auschwitz is my father’s grave.”

Even 70 years later, forgiving the murderers is impossible, according to Orosz-Richt.

“Herr Groening, how can I ever forgive? How can I ever forget? Although after the war my mother seemed to have put the horrors of Auschwitz into the back of her mind and lived as a happy and loving person, when she lay dying of cancer at the age of 71, in Toronto, the nightmares came back. She saw Mengele standing at the door of her hospital room. No amount of morphine could make him disappear. She died on January 28th because January 27th was the day Auschwitz was liberated and she said she just did not want to die on that day. ”

Orosz-Richt, who is expected to be the last to testify against Groening, concluded her testimony by reiterating her refusal to forgive the atrocities of the Holocaust.

“In memory of my father, who I never knew, and in memory of my mother who had given birth to me in those indescribable conditions, beaten by SS men, surviving on less than 400 calories a day, for that and for everyone you helped murder, I cannot forgive you, Herr Groening ... Because of my parents’ and my wider family’s fate, the terror of Auschwitz has been and will be with me all my life. The past is present. This makes it impossible for me to forget or forgive those who were responsible for Auschwitz, the many concentration camps around Europe and the murders of six million Jews. Six million innocent people killed only because they were Jews.”

Women had enough of being erased from Chareidie Ads and Magazines

BY SHOSHANNA KEATS JASKOL

"If a man cannot look at a woman and say ‘What a healthy and handsome woman the Almighty has created,’ then I do not know what is happening to us. And I fear that if this continues, we will have to veil our faces."

These are not my words (though I’ve said them in these pages before), these are the words of Rabbanit Adina Bar Shalom, daughter of Rav Ovadia Yosef a’h.

Speaking at a conference, she said she was “greatly ashamed” that the Shas publication “Day to Day” ran a photograph of the newly elected government with the faces of female ministers blurred out.

The 34th Government of Israel

She recalled her father reacting with shock and anger after seeing a family photo published with the faces of his wife and mother blurred out.

What nerve — neither of them are alive anymore, what is this supposed to be?…Ultimately, they’ll all be in veils.

It wasn’t just the Shas publication, but other Charedi papers who also censored the three women in the photo. Some chose to blur, others went so far as to actually remove them and to photoshop men closer together to fill the space, as if they actually did not exist.

Blurred

In my right mind, I will not try and guess the various thoughts in the minds of the editors making that choice. To blur, to erase, to mention the women’s last names or to pretend they don’t exist at all — choose your form of falsehood, it is yours to create.

Alternate Reality – female free

The Torah discusses women and veils twice.

The first is Rebecca using her scarf to cover herself when she is told the man coming towards her is her husband to be. After a long dusty journey, alone aside for servants and probably very nervous, she covers herself temporarily before meeting her husband for the first time. Perhaps in shyness, perhaps preferring to freshen up after her travels, perhaps like a bride being presented to her husband, she chooses to cover herself. (Gen. 24, 65)

The other mention of a veiled woman is Tamar. When Yehuda sees a woman on the side of the road, the Torah states that he thought she was a prostitute because she covered her face. Indeed, that is what Tamar wanted him to think, it was integral to her plan, so she dressed the part and veiled herself. Her veil proclaimed her a harlot. (Gen. 38, 15)

But, why are we speaking of veils? No one is suggesting women wear veils. We are not Muslims!

We are only saying they should not be in books, magazines or newspapers… or telephone books, or wedding invitations or accepting awards…

People like to roll their eyes when a correlation is made between erasing women from images and veils.

But those people are in denial.

If women and girls cannot be seen in normal everyday ads and magazines;

If even cartoons of girls are not allowed, such as in this Lag B’omer safety pamphlet:

Lag B’Omer safety pamphlet. Two versions were made, with and without girls.

If girls need to be in the back of the bus;

How far are we from this which has already started:

It is a natural slide along this oh so very slippery slope that has been named ‘modesty’. It is what happens when women are told their bodies and faces are vehicles for sin.

Despite being new, it has become the norm to not show women and girls in many publications catering to the religious public.

Women advertise and write articles alongside men, but only the men have their photos. This advertisement was in one of the publications.

The realty office said that it was not their choice, that they paper would not allow the woman’s picture to be printed. From an ad the same company placed in another paper that included the female realtor’s images, it is clear that neither the office nor the realtor herself chose the censorship. What this paper did is illegal.

There are those who defend this practice, saying that women are holy and do not need to be in pictures, that no one is harmed, and that we should just ‘not look’ if it bothers us so much.

Is it even possible to delineate all of the irony in that statement?

Removing women and girls from magazines, books and newspapers, altering reality to pretend that they are not in the government, creating a reality where a women cannot advertise the same as men, where a woman’s smiling image immediately brings to mind lasciviousness, sex and sin? And no one is harmed?

Israel Irenstein says of growing up in that world: “When you don’t really know any women, they become objectified. They’re like animals in the zoos. You don’t get to interact with any of them. The simplest acts such as accepting change from a female cashier, were…immediately sexualized. It becomes very hard to sit in front of a woman. Even if she’s fully dressed.”

Many people are fully aware that this is a new phenomenon, that books and magazines have always featured modestly dressed women. They are happy to label this as ‘mishegas’ in private but do not stand against it in public. The fear of being thought of as ‘less frum’ than others paralyzes some.

But we can no longer cater to the lowest common denominator.

It is up to us to say that we will not accept it.

For the sake of our daughters, our sons, ourselves:

Don’t subscribe to or buy magazines that censor women.

Do not advertise in them.

Do not agree to have your picture or name but not your wife’s in the shul directory.

Do not accept an award without your wife, or female business or research partners.

Ask your Rabbanim to come out strongly against this practice — publicly.

Reject the practice of saying that our wives and daughters must be hidden whether that veil is pixels on a screen or a black sheet in the wind.

Obama's Jewish advisers are the problem

In the modern era, the term "court Jews" has been replaced by the term "advisers." Obama is surrounded by Jewish advisers. You can find them in the White House, the State Department, the media, in various NGOs and in various embassies. All of them have one thing in common: a liberal, left-wing worldview. Naturally, their loyalty rests with the United States. You can't blame them for that. After all, their salaries, their stature and their honor all derive from U.S. taxpayers.

These misguided individuals believe that Israelis are too primitive to think for themselves, that they are so underdeveloped that they cannot possibly know what is in their best interest. Like many others throughout history, these advisers want to save the Jews from themselves, but ignore one underlying fact: The many Jews who have decided to reside in Israel are extraordinary smart, and they are unwilling to buy the damaged goods Obama's advisers have to offer (notwithstanding the Israeli Left's sales pitch). Jews have returned home from the Diaspora mainly because they wanted to put an end to a long history of others making choices on their behalf.

The Obama advisers are mainly concerned about their employer's legacy. In the waning years of his presidency, it has become clear that he is one of the weakest presidents in the modern era. Under his watch, the U.S. has become a paper tiger aimlessly roaming the wilderness. The most powerful nation in the history of humankind now stands helpless. It has lost its resolve to take on fanatic terrorists who drive pick-up trucks fitted with machine guns. The Middle East has spiraled out of control; Europe has been unable to counter the spread of Islam; Ukraine is ablaze; but Obama? Well, he has been overly concerned with the oppressed Palestinians, going out of his way to show his compassion.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been conducive to Obama's legacy. He has stood his ground, justifiably, like David facing Goliath. He has sounded the alarm everywhere, warning against the danger of a nuclear terrorist state. 

Any levelheaded individual listening to the voices in Tehran would have concluded long ago that the regime will never open its nuclear sites for inspection.

But Obama? He has continued his march of folly, the second such march in the 21st century (the first was several years ago, when he backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt). 

In the noise on the world stage, Obama and his advisers have resorted to using ear plugs, hoping this will solve the problem. Rather than deal with the challenges, they prefer to cast the Israelis as irrational human beings, who shoot from the hip. But this supposed rationality we are lacking has cost us dearly over the course of history.

The U.S. has opted for vengeance and retribution as a substitute for policy. Rather than show strength through leadership, the president has joined forces with Channel 2 to disparage an elected prime minister. Only the Americans are allowed to meddle in the affairs of other countries.

When Israelis cast their votes in the March 17 election, they spoke loud and clear: The Jews in Israel will not cower. As the Bible says, "The more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew" (Exodus 1:12).

Obama Threatens to Cut US Support at UN in Israeli Interview and lies about Iran's Nuclear Stockpiles

US President Barack Obama gave an interview with Israeli media on Tuesday, in which he threatened that an Israeli refusal to renew peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) will "make it hard" for the US to veto motions in the UN against Israel

.

In an interview with Ilana Dayan for Channel 2's "Uvda" (Fact) TV show aired Tuesday night, Obama commented on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statements before elections in which he said that a Palestinian state won't be founded on his watch.

Obama noted that later Netanyahu distanced from the statement and "suggested that there is the possibility of a Palestinian state. But it has so many caveats, so many conditions, that it is not realistic to think that those conditions would be met anytime in the near future."

Those conditions have included the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and demilitarization, conditions that proved problematic in the last round of peace talks that Obama pushed into existence in late 2013.

The president continued, "and so the danger here, is that…Israel as a whole loses credibility. Already the international community does not believe that Israel is serious about a two states solution...the statement the Prime Minister made compounded that...belief that there's not a commitment there."

Describing Netanyahu, Obama said, "I think that he also is someone who has been skeptical about the capacity of Israelis and Palestinians to come together on behalf of peace. I think that he is also a politician, who's concerned about keeping coalitions together and maintaining his office."

"Netanyahu…is somebody who's predisposed to think of security first. To think perhaps that peace is naive," he continued. "To see the worst possibilities, as opposed to the best possibilities in Arab partners or Palestinian partners, and so I do think that right now, those politics, and those fears are driving the government's response. And, I understand it, but…what may seem wise and prudent on the short-term, can actually end up being unwise over the long-term."

No US backing in the UN?

Obama then issued a threat to Israel, referring to his remarks after the recent Israeli elections when he said America would have to reassess its policy towards Israel, and clarifying that at the time he was referring to something specific.

"If there are additional resolutions introduced in the United Nations...up until this point we have pushed away against European efforts for example, or other efforts. Because we've said, the only way this gets resolved is if the two parties worked together," he said, referring to European moves to unilaterally recognize the PA as a state.

The president said security aid to Israel won't cease, but warn that, "if in fact, there's no prospect of an actual peace-process, if nobody believes there's a peace process, then it becomes more difficult, to argue with those who are concerned about settlement construction, those who are concerned about the current situation, it's more difficult for me to say to them 'be patient! wait! Because we have a process here.' Because, all they need to do is to point to the statements that have been made saying there is no process."

The last round of peace talks, which were torpedoed by the PA last April when it joined international conventions in breach of the 1993 Oslo Accords and sealed a unity deal with the Hamas terrorist organization, only brought the release of 78 Arab terrorists.

Referencing the Jewish nature of Israel, Obama said, "I am less worried about any particular disagreement that I have with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I am more worried about...an Israeli politics that's motivated only by fear. And that then leads to a loss of those core values, that when I was young and I was admiring Israel from afar...were...the essence of this nation. There are things that you can lose, that don't just involve rockets."

Turning his attention to Iran and the deal being formed with it on its nuclear program ahead of a June 30 deadline, he claimed that sanctions have caused Iran to keep its agreements in negotiations.

"I've said that, in exchange for some modest relief in sanctions, that Iran is going to have to freeze its nuclear program, roll back on its stockpiles of very highly enriched Uranium - the very stockpiles that Prime Minister Netanyahu had gone before the United Nations, with his picture of the bomb and said that was proof of how dangerous this was."

"At that time, everybody said 'this isn't going to work! They're going to cheat, they're not going to abide by it.' And yet, over a year and a half later, we know that they have abided by the letter of it," claimed Obama.

His assertion is in fact false; Iranian nuclear fuel stockpiles grew by a massive 20% over the past 18 months of negotiations between Iran and world powers, as revealed in a report last month by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Obama had claimed their nuclear program would be "frozen" during negotiations, but the IAEA report clarifies that they indeed breached the conditions.

Mir Yeshivah in Yerushalyim orders it's students to ignore "Bomb" drill!

You got kids in Mir?  Does your precious child know what to do in case of, G-D forbid, a war?
Well there is a nationwide drill in all of Israel, and people must run to shelters to practice and get familiar with the locations ...
But the Mirrer "ober- chachumim know better, and advised their talmidim to ignore the drill!
We  know how important fire drills are, but it seems that the Roshei Yeshivah know better!

When protective edge started last summer, yeshivahs in Ashdod and Ashkelon closed up and their talmidim ran back home like poisoned mice.
So much for the theory that "Torah is Matzel" ... 

What lesson was that for Bnei-Torah? 

Why is it that the Hesder and Bnei Akivah yeshivos were open and their talmidim ran to help the local residents to shelters?
I strongly believe that  the Torah of those Hesder Yeshivas' Torah, were Matzel!

Neturei Karta "Chuchem" Protests Israel Day Parade

See the "Chuchem fin Deh Ma'Nishtaneh" holding an upside down sign!
It's people like this that gave the late Satmer Rebbe his information on the six day war!

Satmar hires Mexicans to protest Israeli Day Parade

The Romanian gypsies DBA Satmar, came up with an ingenious plan .... instead of coming out in the rain to protest the Israeli Day Parade, they went schnorring by Shachris in Williamsburg and in KJ and hired Mexicans and dressed them up with Tzizis and Yarmulkas and gave them anti-Jewish signs......

Some people would say that "Satmar would never do anything like that" that's Neturei Karta, so the readers of my Blog already know that my shitah is that it's all one.... Satmar is Neturei Karta, and the Neturei Karta is Satmar....  Satmar only use the Neturei Karta for their dirty work... but the SHIT'a is the same. There is absolutely no difference in their ideology ..  ....
So for this they have $$$$$!
But I think they saved some money because instead of  having to serve hot KJ chicken soup to the usual Chassidishe protesters ... they got away with some cheap jalapenos!
Hasta La'wego!

Lone IDF soldier sentenced to military jail for eating non-kosher sandwich

A lone soldier who made aliya to Israel from the US was sent to military prison for 11 days for eating a non-kosher sandwich during an operation of his military unit, Israel Radio reported on Monday.

According to the report, the soldier offered the sandwiches, which he had gotten from his grandmother at her kibbutz, to several of his fellow soldiers.

The soldier was punished by his battalion commander despite telling him that he was unaware of army regulations regarding kosher food.

According to Israel Radio, the army decided to lighten the soldier's punishment from time in military prison to confinement to his base after a reporter informed the IDF Spokesman's Office of the incident.

The IDF stated that the soldier's actions were not in keeping with the army's expectations of cadets in its officer's course and therefore he was punished. However, the army added, after reexamining the incident, it was decided to lighten the punishment.
