Auschwitz: Drone video of Nazi concentration camp

Drone video shows the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp as it is today - 70 years after it was liberated by Soviet troops.

The camp in Poland is now maintained as a World Heritage Site and is visited by thousands of tourists and survivors every year. Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans during World War II. More than a million people - the vast majority of them Jews - died there between 1940, when it was built, and 1945, when it was liberated by the Soviet army. Railway tracks into Auschwitz-Birkenau - Trains filled with victims from throughout occupied Europe arrived at the camp almost every day between 1942 and the summer of 1944. Ruins of wooden huts at Birkenau - Birkenau (or Auschwitz II) was erected in 1941 solely as a death camp, the wooden huts are now in ruins with only brick fireplaces and chimneys remaining. Entrance to Auschwitz I -The wrought-iron sign over the entrance bears the words Arbeit Macht Frei - "Work sets you free". Auschwitz I - The brick-built buildings were the former cavalry barracks of the Polish Army. Courtyard between blocks 10 and 11 at Auschwitz I - Block 11 was called "the Block of Death" by prisoners. Executions took place between Block 10 and Block 11 and posts in the yard were used to string up prisoners by their wrists. Auschwitz Birkenau is now a museum run by the Polish Culture Ministry, and a Unesco world heritage site.

19 Year Old Ben Zion Brandwein Completes Shas & Commentaries Gets a Bottle of Wine From The Boyaner Rebbe

 

Wow!! That will surely encourage others....

I'm not saying that he studied Shas for a reward .... but come on.....

Anyway, Great accomplishment! 

A 19-year-old boy, Ben Zion Brandwein, student of the Bayan Yeshiva in Modi'in Illit, studied Shas and all its commentators by heart, and at the end of the Talmud, he was examined by the Admor of Boyan  who gave him a bottle of wine! 

As a child, Ben Zion,  studied in the Talmud Torah from Kanovka Belz and was a tremendous masmid. Presently, he studies at the Bayan Yeshiva in Modi'in Illit.

Despite his youth, he was able to finish the entire Talmud - , with commentators by heart.

Ben Zion Brandwein lives in Bnei Brak, and his father serves as a bookshop manager in the city.

When the Admor of Bayan heard that the outstanding young man knew the entire Talmud, he tested him asking him questions  from several places in Shas, then blessing him and giving him a bottle of wine in appreciation.

The graduation ceremony of the outstanding 19-year-old boy will take place at the Bayan Yeshiva in Modi'in Illit, with the participation of the yeshiva rabbis and accompanied by an orchestra and a Seudat Mitzvah.

Day Yoimie Snippets ... Chullin 33, 34, 35,36, 37, 38, & 39

Hey ladies ... here is an opportunity to test your husbands and see if he really goes to the daf....

Also it is a good opportunity for the entire family to share thoughts on the daf ... so that the family feels united by discussing what the head of the house is studying.   

You can copy and print this without my consent, since Torah belongs to all of us..... 

See  previous Daf Yoimie Snippets 

"דף ל''ג "טמאת ידים

"Contamination (Tumah) of the Hands" 

*This "snippet" is a bit longer than usual because of its complexity ... 

When we talk about "tumah" "contamination" in the Talmud and Shulchan Aruch " "we speak about a "spiritual contamination." 

 From here on in, I will use the word that the Torah & Talmud use .. "tumah" ....instead of the English word "contamination" because the english translation doesn't do the meaning of "tumah" justice.

Before I explain this particular daf, I must introduce some concepts in "tumah," and so that's the reason this  particular "snippet" will be a bit longer than my usual "snippets".

Introduction:

When a Jewish person touches a corpse with his hand, his entire body contracts "tumah" 

There are many levels or degrees of "tumah."  I will attempt to summarize them briefly..

The strictest level of tumah, is אבי אבות הטמאה ... which if translated literally, means "father of fathers" of tumah. 

and that level of tumah can only be the corpse itself ....

The level below that, is far more common, and that is called 

אב הטמאה, which means literally "father of tumah."

In order to contract this level of tumah a person would have to touch a human corpse or the carcass of one of the 8 species of creeping creatures listed in the Torah and these creatures are referred to as Sheratzim ...

Included in this tumah are kosher animals that died not by "ritually slaughter" but were killed for example by a bullet etc. and that animal is now a "נבילה"

Also included are the following humans :

Zav, Zavah, Niddah or Metzora .. 

Now ......

Any object that comes in contact with an אב הטמאה,

becomes a ראשון לטמאה a tumah in the "first degree" 

Under Biblical law ... people or vessels that came in contact with this mentioned tumah can no longer convey tumah to some other item.... it stops...

The exception: 

Food items that came in contact with an אב הטמאה can acquire what is called : שני לטמאה ..."second degree" of tumah.

But in the case of "chullin" which is ordinary food, (not consecrated,) tumah can go no further than a שני לטמאה

so if a שני לטמאה touches "chullin" it conveys no degree of tumah.

However food items that are Terumah or Kodesh, due to greater degrees of stringency associated with them, can go beyond שני לטמאה

and can become שלישי לטמאה  a third degree level and in the case of Kodesh food even a  רביעי לטמאה a fourth level of tumah!

Back to our daf:

We discussed above that if one touches a corpse his entire body becomes tumah.....and he becomes a אב הטמאה

Now, 

if this person who is now a אב הטמאה, touches another person, that person is as we mentioned above, becomes a 

ראשון לטמאה ...

so, it would follow our logic that if this ראשון לטמאה,   now touches  another person, this "touched" person or object would not contract any tumah .....it would stop (except if he touched food.)

But the rabbis enacted a rule (תקנה) that the hands of this person who is a ראשון לטמאה becomes a שני לטמאה as well ...

his hands not his entire body..

So now he can still covey tumah to Teruma & Kodesh foods with his hands.

 The rabbis enacted this rule so that people be careful what  with their hands at all times and that is the novelty of this rule.

Therefore the Kohanim had to wash their hands before they ate terumah .. because of its greater sanctity.

The rabbis instituted that all of us should wash their hands before eating bread to be in the habit of being careful with our hands...... and now you know why we wash to bread ...

"Osher Ad" Charedi supermarket chain Selling Olive Oil For 16.90 NIS After Winning Bid to Sell 550 Tons of Olive Oil!!

Charedi supermarket chain Osher Ad won a tender from the Finance Ministry to sell the majority of 550 tons of olive oil to consumers at a significantly discounted price. The Finance Ministry said that they hope the deal will bring down prices throughout the country.

The 750 ml bottles will be sold for 16.90 NIS in Osher Ad’s 17 stores. Osher Ad will be selling 80 percent of all 550 tons of the oil to its customers. However, Osher Ad doesn’t have store locations across the country, something that will cause many residents to miss out on the heavily discounted prices.

The Finance Ministry held a bid that allowed stores to win a tender wherein they would receive the olive oil without paying taxes on it, in order to allow consumers to purchase the highly used product for very low prices. The competing stores had to agree to the final sale price of the product ahead of time.

150 haredi soldiers sworn in at Western Wall plaza

150 fighters from the Charedi Netzach Yehuda Battalion swore allegiance to the IDF at the Western Wall plaza on Thursday.

This is the first swearing-in ceremony that has taken place since the two soldiers from the battalion were murdered in a shooting attackin Givat Assaf.

The fighters proved that despite the loss, many young haredim wanted to enlist in the battalion.

During the swearing-in ceremony, the soldiers said "I declare" instead of "I swear" as is customary in the swearing-in ceremonies. The ceremony concluded with the soldiers singing “Am Hanetzach”.

The condition of another battalion fighter who was wounded in the attack at Givat Assaf, Netanel Felber, remains serious and doctors are fighting for his life.

Last week, a prayer vigil for Felber was held at the Western Wall plaza at the initiative of the battalion's graduates.

Two "Rashaim" Friedlander & Nadler ... learning "Hilchos Krias Shma"

Ezra Friedlander, the Jew "Capo" with his buddy Rep Jerry Nadler

On the return trip from NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s re-innauguration on Ellis Island, Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) explained the Talmudic reasoning behind the timing of Krias Shema Shel Shachris, to his Tuchis-Lekker back stabbing buddy Ezra "Ill Stab Any Jew In The Back" Friedlander!

Nadler is the incoming chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and has promised to investigate possible ties between the Trump administration and Russia.

Jerry Nadler was the only Jewish Democrat from New York that voted for the Iran deal.

At the time, Nadler released the following lying statement to his Holocaust Survivors constituents. Ezra then went to justify this criminal vote to the naive Boro-Parkers...

“I bring to my analysis the full weight of my responsibilities as a member of Congress, and my perspective as an American Jew who is both a Democrat and a strong supporter of Israel,” Nadler said in a statement. He said that the agreement “gives us the best chance of stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.”

Now he is explaining Mesechta Brachos.

Jeremy Reichberg Convicted of Bribery but Cop Who Took Bribe Walks! Rechnitz Squealed on his buddy!!!

The latest shock came yesterday, when a Manhattan federal court jury acquitted former NYPD Deputy Inspector James Grant on charges he took bribes in return for special police favors for businessman Jeremy Reichberg.

The same jury convicted Reichberg, a major donor to Mayor Bill de Blasio, of paying bribes to other police officials — but not to Grant.

Post-trial interviews suggest that jurors accepted the same argument used successfully by other indicted officials, including New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez: This was just two old friends helping each other out — and what are friends for?

Michael Savage, facing death threats, heads to secret location

City, state and federal agencies are taking a look at a vicious, hateful email sent a restaurant frequented by talk radio icon Michael Savage that threatens to shoot up the restaurant establishment if he’s not denied future service.

Remember back in November when Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his family were targeted and threatened by protesters? This is worse.

Portions of the email sent to the restaurant state, in all caps, “I DEMAND THAT YOU REFUSE TO ALLOW MICHAEL SAVAGE … IN YOUR F-ING RESTAURANT AGAIN. HE IS A RACIST WHITE SUPREMACIST PIECE OF SH— … DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO ME? WELL I GUESS YOURE ALL GONNA F—ING DIE THEN CUZ I AM WAITING FOR THE MOTHAF— AND I WILL WAIT AND WATCH YOUR F—ING BUSINESS AND WHEN I SEE HIM GO IN THERE IM GOING TO START SHOOTING EVERY BODY I CAN FIND.”

The suspect then gets very specific.

“I OWN 3 GUNS AND I CAN DO SOME SERIOUS F—ING DAMAGE,” the email went on. “I WILL KILL AS MANY OF YOU RACIST-SUPPORTING/ENABLING WHITE SUPREMACISTS AS I F—ING CAN.”

Savage, in a telephone interview, said he has “changed location,” but he didn’t elaborate.

Doctor, 27, who tweeted that she would 'purposely give Jews the wrong medications' still has her medical license

A doctor who tweeted that she would 'purposely give all the Jews the wrong meds' has been found to have been posting anti-Semitic messages on social media for years.

Dr Lara Kollab, 27, a former resident at The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, wrote in now-deleted posts that she hoped 'Allah will kill the Jews' and referred to Jewish people as 'dogs'.

The Cleveland Clinic has since condemned Dr Kollab, who retains her medical license, and confirmed that she is no longer working at the hospital.

Dr Kollab, who is of Palestinian heritage, was awarded her medical degree by a Jewish-affiliated college in New York last year.

Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine has since expressed their shock at hearing of Dr Kollab's anti-Semitic views. 

'Touro College is appalled by the anti-Semitic comments reportedly made by Lara Kollab, a graduate of the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine,' the medical school said in a statement.

Baal Ha"Tanye's Yurzeit Brings Thousands of Jews from around the world To Haditch, Ukraine

The 24th of Teves brought this week thousands of Jews from around the world to the Ukrainian village of Haditch where they davened and joined Chassidic farbrengens. 

The date marked the yartzeit of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi,the Alter Rebbe who founded the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and authored the Tanya and Shulchan Aruch Harav. 

Visitors were welcomed at the tziyun holy gravesite and the Heichal Admur Hazaken building by Rabbi Shneur Zalman Deitsch, the local Shliach who oversees the activities and accommodations. 

“We began preparing for this date about 6 months ago,” he said. “Already 2 months before the yartzeit, all sleeping accommodations have been reserved. We see the number of visitors growing on the yartzeit and around the year.”

With the yartzeit coinciding with the secular new year, he said flights were not cheap this year. Another challenge has been the cold weather which brought heavy snow fall onto the town and the path down the hill to the kever. 

Former Federal Prosecutor Says Mueller "A Rogue Prosecutor and Made up a crime to fit the facts" Challenging Him Now in Court!

A former federal prosecutor has emerged as special counsel Robert Mueller’s most persistent courtroom critic.

It’s not Rudolph W. Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney and now President Trump’s ubiquitous defender, or any of cable TV’s prosecutors-turned-pundits.

He is Eric A. Dubelier, a litigator for the Reed Smith law firm who knows international law and the D.C. playing field. He served eight years prosecuting cases as a Justice Department assistant U.S. attorney in Washington. He refers to his former employer as “the real Justice Department,” implying that Mr. Mueller’s team is something less.

His biting remarks have come in months of court filings and oral arguments. Mr. Dubelier has depicted Mr. Mueller as a rogue prosecutor willfully ignoring Justice Department guidelines.

He has accused Mr. Mueller of creating a “make-believe crime” against his Russian client, Concord Management and Consulting, which is accused of funding a troll farm that interfered in the 2016 election.

So far, the federal judge presiding over the case has sided with Mr. Mueller.

Satmar Monroe Back On The Internet!

It didn't take long for the fake, phoney & fraudulent Satmars of Monroe to run like lions after its prey, to be back on the internet, after stating publicly that they will no longer fundraise on the internet!

They managed to establish a new town in Monroe, "Town of Palm Tree" (Teitelboim in Yiddish) adjacent to Kiryas Joel..... 

they had no choice, they were forced to name the additional land neighboring Kiryat Yoel,  "Town of Palm Tree" because they had promised the naive goyim that they would not expand the town Kiryat Yoel" ...but expanding Kiryat Joel and naming it something else and newly incorporating it was not part of the promise ....

Satmar scream, yell and bark if Jews move into settlements in their own land that HKB"H gave us ....but they have no problem antagonizing their goyishe neighbors with "farkakteh" schemes etc ... in the cursed chutz le'aaretz.

Satmar had previously organized  Asifas to proclaim the "Internet Chazer Treif." 

So last week when the Dushinsky Rebbe said that he will go a step further and not even fundraise on the internet, Satmar followed suit with huge posters and Kol Korehs....

Well now they are slowly creeping back in, ever so slowly and doing it clandestinely ..... not Chas Vesholom with the name "Kiryat Joel" but hoping that no one will notice, they  opened a "Tweeter" account called "@TownPalmTreeHQ"!

For those of you who are over 50, "Tweeter" is on the internet!

Welcome back!!!!

CAROLINE GLICK JOINING BENNETT, SHAKED'S NEW PARTY

Longtime Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick is running on Hayamin Hehadash’s list in the April 2019 elections, she announced Wednesday. 
Hayamin Hehadash was founded by Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked this week, breaking of from Bayit Yehudi. The party is meant to be solidly right-wing, with a mix of religious, secular and traditional candidates.

Glick has been a columnist for The Jerusalem Post since 2002, and in recent years began writing for Maariv and American far-right website Breitbart. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu considered Glick as one of his appointees to the Likud list in 2015, but decided against it because, Likud sources say, she harshly criticized him in some of her columns.

In her book The Israeli Solution: A One State Plan for Peace in the Middle East, Glick endorses annexation of the whole West Bank and granting Israeli citizenship for Palestinians. This differs from Bennett’s diplomatic plan, which calls for the annexation of Area C and citizenship for the Palestinians living there, and “autonomy on steroids,” but not a state or Israeli citizenship, for Palestinians in Areas A and B. 

Glick was previously Assistant Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 1997-1998. 

In 2008, Glick launched a satirical media criticism website called Latma, which was briefly turned into a sketch comedy show on Channel 1.

Tiffany Haddish: I Will Wear Fur Everyday Until ‘Police Stop Killing Black People’

I got to hand it to her, finally a gal with guts.... 

I'll bet no Jewish actress or comedienne would have the chutzpah to stand up and say:

"I'll wear fur until anti-Semitic attacks against Jews Stop!!! 

I would like to see PETA start up with her.... and if they do, how long will that last????

A-list actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish created a stir over the weekend after announcing that she will protest law enforcement “killing black people” by continuing to wear fur, garnering scorn and praise from fellow African-American entertainers.

“I’mma wear it as much as possible. I don’t know if you guys know this about me, but I’m about to start protesting,” Tiffany Haddish said in a video posted to Instagram Sunday. “I’mma wear fur every day until they stop killing black people. When the police stop killing black people, I’ll stop wearing fur. It’s my new protest. So sorry, PETA! Don’t be mad at me. Be mad at the police. When they stop killing black people, I’ll stop wearing fur… Because people are important, and so are the animals.”

Hip-hop mogul and longtime vegan Russell Simmons criticized Haddish, writing in the video’s comment section: “White supremacy is a disease that takes on many forms and has many symptoms.”

Abortion Killed 42 Million People In 2018

While the Left frets about the inhumanity of President Trump's immigration policy and the cruelty of ICE, let it be known that 42 million people died from abortions in 2018.

According to LifeNews, data compiled by Worldometers shows 42 million abortions occurred worldwide in 2018. 

Those numbers exceed deaths related to cancer, HIV/AIDS, traffic accidents, and suicide.

Woldometers collects its data from governments and other reputable organizations to compile its data. The sources for the abortion stats were provided by:

• Sexual and reproductive health - World Health Organization (WHO)
• Shah, I.; Ahman, E. (December 2009). "Unsafe abortion: global and regional incidence, trends, consequences, and challenges" (Pdf). Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada 31 (12): 1149–58. PMID 20085681

First-hand accounts by Americans living in Berlin during WWII reveal how Germans fell under Hitler's spell

First-hand accounts by Americans living in Berlin during the Second World War have revealed how Germans fell under Hitler's spell.

One US journalist described crowds of young nurses screaming their approval at the top of their voices as the Fuhrer vowed to 'turn British cities to ash'.

A new book includes another account of how a brainwashed seven-year-old boy went door-to-door to demand money for the Nazi regime while doing Hitler salutes.

Surprisingly, American journalists were granted an almost free rein to write what they saw fit about daily life under the fascist regime. This is because Hitler was convinced the US could be an asset to him by persuading Britain to surrender.

After war was declared, Britons living in the German capital were interned or sent home. But US citizens, due to their country's neutral status at that point, were able to carry on living there without restrictions - and write about the horrors they encountered.

Arabs Start patrolling in Brooklyn With Cars Looking Like Police Cars!

How soon will the fancy Flatbush and Boro-Park ladies start wearing hijabs, speak Arabic & pray to Mecca ???

New York City residents were shocked last week to see vehicles with the words “Muslim Community Patrol” emblazoned on them cruising the streets like police squad cars.

The sight of the vehicles immediately led to concerns about “creeping Sharia.”
