She's facing a libel lawsuit, being accused of defamation. But she wants the case file unsealed
Julie Globus is now owning the name: Lost Messiah.For two and a half years, the Rockland County resident -- a wife, mother and attorney -- wrote an anonymous blog under that name.
The blog’s stated purpose: "To uncover crimes, misdeeds and abuses within segments of the Jewish community in the hopes of effectuating change."
In an exclusive interview, Globus told the I-Team she had two separate focuses:
"One was on the ultra-Orthodox community, and the money -- where it was coming and going? And I was focusing on sexual abuse. I think there is a need to hold myself and others within that religious community accountable."

New York Times Messes With Rabbi Bender ...
Rabbi Bender with Betsy DeVos Secretary of Education |
On Monday morning, the New York Times posted an article with the headline Do Children Get a Subpar Education in Yeshivas?
Among their most urgent criticisms, highlighted in the first paragraph, was that there are students yeshiva students who “have not been taught that dinosaurs once roamed Earth.”
The article was another grossly unfair New York Times attack on yeshivas and the frum way of life. (On Sunday, in honor of Chanukah the Times ran an op-ed with the title The Hypocrisy of Hanukkah!)
But in this instance the Times was even worse than usual, because it chose to illustrate its article on subpar yeshiva education with a photograph of Yeshiva Darchei Torah.
That prompted this strongly worded response from Rabbi Yaakov Bender, the Rosh Hayeshiva of Yeshiva Darchei Torah, who stood up not only for his yeshiva but for our yeshiva system.
Here is Rabbi Bender’s statement:

"13 Collection Boxes"
There were 13 Collection boxes, called "shofaros" because the shape of the box resembled somewhat of a shofar, in the Temple.
תקלין חדתין (New Shekalim) was written on one collection box, these were coins that people offered as "machtzis ha'shekel."
תקלין עתיקין (Old Shekalim) was written on another collection box, these coins were the "machtzis ha'shekel" that people offered the year before but for some reason were late in their donations.
קנין was written on another box, these coins used to buy mature birds.
גוזלי עולה was written on an other one, these coins were used to buy young birds.
עצים ... this box was used for the coins that went toward buying wood for the alter.
לבונה this box contained coins that were used to buy the "korban levoineh"
זהב לכפרת this box contained gold used for utensils ..
The remaining six were for donative offerings.
Why was it necessary to have six boxes for donative offerings?
The rabbis differ on the reason ...
R' Chizkeyeh suggests that these boxes were designated for the six paternal houses of the kohanim.
The kohanim were divided into 24 groups called "mishmarois" or "watchers," each of which served in the Temple for a week at a time on a rotating basis. Each mishmar, in turn, was divided into 6 batei avos, paternal houses, one for each day of the week, besides Shabbos, when all would serve together.
R' Yochanan on the other hand, postulates that they needed 6 different boxes because if all coins were all placed in one box, the coins would get rusty.

The Media Loves Dead Republicans
Mainstream media members “don’t treat [Republicans] fairly in life” and only “embrace” them “in death,” Fox News host Laura Ingraham noted Monday night on “The Ingraham Angle” as she analyzed the past and present media coverage of the late George H.W. Bush.
Mainstream media members “don’t treat [Republicans] fairly in life” and only “embrace” them “in death,” Fox News host Laura Ingraham noted Monday night on “The Ingraham Angle” as she analyzed the past and present media coverage of the late George H.W. Bush.
Bush, who served as the nation’s 41st president from 1989 to 1993, died at age 94 in his home in Houston on Friday.
Media members and outlets delivered extensive tributes to Bush as they recounted the extraordinary sacrifices he made to serve his nation as a World War II veteran, a House member, a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, a CIA director, a vice president, a president — and more.
But it didn’t take too much effort for many in the media to use their glowing tributes of Bush as a stepping stone to criticisms of President Donald Trump.
90-year-old Israeli man chokes to death on Hanukkah doughnut
A 90-year-old man in central Israel choked to death on a doughnut during a Hanukkah candlelighting ceremony Monday evening.
Magen David Adom paramedics called to the community in the Shfela region southeast of Tel Aviv, said they dislodged a piece of dough stuck in the man’s throat, but were unable to revive him.
The man, who was attending a candlelighting ceremony at his local synagogue, was declared dead at the scene.
In a statement, the MDA warned that the jelly-filled doughnut, a Hannukah tradition, could be a choking hazard for children and the elderly.
On Sunday, MDA said paramedics were called to a Bnei Brak home to treat a 95-year-old man who choked on a doughnut. The unconscious man was taken to the Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv, and was said to be in stable condition on Monday.
Moshe Rubin Former Peleg Terrorist Leaves Ponovitz Joins the IDF!!
Remember when a Yeshivah Bochur who was a chavrusah with the Rosh Yeshivah of Ponovitz went missing.?
Turns out that he was also a member of the Peleg Terrorists that refused to even register for the draft, and illegally blocked traffic.
He had enough of all this hypocrisy ... and joined the IDF ......
Says on the video that he knows of at least 7 other Peleg Terrorists that will enlist in the IDF soon .....
Agrees with his new mentor rabbi that says that enlisting in the IDF is a mitzvah .... and this mitzvah is no less important then putting on Tefillin!
Jeremy Reichberg VS His Brother Moshe Reichberg
It’s brother vs. brother in an NYPD bribe case unfolding in Manhattan federal court.
Mayor Bill de Blasio donor Jeremy Reichberg, who stands accused of bribing NYPD cops, will be facing off against his brother, Moshe Reichberg, according to a new court filing.
Prosecutors plan to call Moshe to testify as early as this week about his Borough Park police-liaison sibling’s alleged efforts to keep evidence from the FBI, the court filing said.
In addition to being charged with bribing cops, Reichberg faces one count of obstruction of justice because feds say he asked Moshe to remove incriminating evidence about his bribery scheme from his house, including business cards of high-ranking officers, documents and electronic devices.
Moshe has been granted immunity to testify, the filing said.
On Monday, the defense also played wiretaps showing the government’s key witness, Jona Rechnitz, growing increasingly panicked as city and federal investigators began circling the wagons on his financial shenanigans, which led to their bribery probe.
Ireland Upset That US Ambassador to Israel Said That Jerusalem Has Been The Capital Of Israel For Over 2,000 Years
A Chanukkah message tweeted on Monday by the US envoy to Israel drew a critical response from Ireland’s top diplomat.
Ambassador David Friedman wrote, “More than 2000 years ago, Jewish patriots (Maccabees) captured Jerusalem, purified the Holy Temple and rededicated it as a house of Jewish worship. The U.N. cant vote away the facts: Jerusalem is the ancient and modern capital of Israel. Happy Chanukah from this blessed city!”
In response, Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney tweeted,
“U are working on a New Peace Initiative that we all hope will be fair, balanced and successful. But comments like this will be seen as provocative and biased. Not helpful in creating the necessary environment of compromise. @UN @UNRWA”

"New Sheriff In Town" Tells Satmar Rebbe Where To go!!
Striking back at a verbal tongue lashing by the Satmar Rebbe earlier in the week, Senator elect James Skoufis had some scathing words of his own, warning Kiryas Joel residents to expect no favors during his time in Albany.
Rabbi Aron Teitelbaum slammed the New York State Department of Education’s new laws mandating significant changes to the secular curriculums of private schools, saying that New York State jails are filled with killers and violent felons who are products of the public school system. In addition to calling on his followers to openly defy the new ruling, the Satmar Rebbe categorized newly elected State Senator James Skoufis as “wicked and evil.”
Just over two hours later, Skoufis fired back at Rabbi Teitelbaum on Facebook.
“I guess he’s still rankled that my campaign was able to easily overcome his bloc vote this past election,” wrote Skoufis, describing the remarks as “abhorrent,” “disgraceful” and “dangerous,” wondering aloud if Rabbi Teitelbaum was hoping to “elicit violence” among his followers.

Crown Heights: Jewish Man Punched in Face on Shabbos Morning; Unprovoked Attack
In an unprovoked, and possibly hate related incident, a Jewish man was assaulted by two black males in front of 728 East New York Ave, between Albany and Troy Avenues. The assault happened early Saturday morning at around 6:30am as the man was heading off to shul.
The Jewish man was approached by two black males, who without saying anything, suddenly punched him in the face. The victim fought back, during which he was able to grab his attackers glasses. Once it became obvious that the victim would not go down without a fight, the assailants fled towards Albany Ave.
The victim initially asked a black woman nearby to call 911, but the woman refused, instead turning away and going into a nearby building.
After 20 minutes of calling for help, a Jewish man came out of a nearby house, and after hearing the story, called 911 and Hatzolah.
When the police came the victim was able to give the glasses to the police as evidence.
The victim was transported by Hatzolah to Methodist Hospital in Park Slope, where he was treated for minor injuries to both ears.
As per a police source, the glasses have been sent to a lab to acquire DNA evidence about the assailant.
The 71st precinct has also promised extra police presence following the incident.

13-year-old married off in Meah Sharim neighborhood of Jerusalem,
Israeli police shut down an illegal wedding in Jerusalem early Friday morning, after it was discovered that the bride was five years below the legal age for marriage.
The wedding was held on the roof of a building in the predominantly haredi neighborhood of Meah Sharim in the capital in the early hours of the morning Friday.
After police learned of the wedding, officers were dispatched to shut down the event and question those involved.
According to investigators, both the bride and groom are minors – the bride being just 13 years old.
The legal age for marriage in Israel is 18, though under extenuating circumstances, family courts are empowered to permit minors as young as 16 to get married, if a social worker clears the request.
The Knesset raised the legal age of marriage under normal circumstances earlier this month from 17 to 18, despite opposition from haredi lawmakers.
After police shut down the illegal wedding, the bride’s mother, the bride, three other minors, and two women involved in the wedding were detained for questioning.
Authorities say the bride was reported missing by her father two months ago, and suspect that her mother hid her until the wedding.
Zalonim and Aronim Are Busy With The IDF In Israel While They Should Be Concentrating On Their Own Problems
Satmar's illness has always been to look for all kinds of problems elsewhere in the Jewish world but to ignore the issues effecting them directly in their own back yards.
The Satmar leaders and askanim have been telling their naive sheep to vote for the Democrats and kept endorsing candidates who promised them the world but are themselves anti-Torah, same- sex marriage advocates, allowing grown men to pee in ladies bathrooms, and are leaders of the gay communities ...
Satmar's antics have now come back with a vengeance to bite them in the ass.
All those Democrats are all for changing the Yeshivah Curriculums and introducing secular studies to the detriment of Torah education..
They put their hopes not into G-d but into Simcha Felder who is totally powerless to prevent the liberal agenda ...
But what is Satmar up to???? What are they preaching to their followers on Shabbos?
The IDF!!!
