Stop Asking For Pictures Of My Daughter

Letter from a mother whose daughter is in shidduchim!

My daughter recently entered shidduchim, and I find myself increasingly livid that girls are expected to send pictures of themselves to the boy’s family or – worse – the boy himself.

When I was dating, no one needed a picture. When a friend or relative told the boy (or his mother) that the girl was cute or good-looking, it was sufficient. Do we demand proof – say, a report card – that a boy is a good learner or that a girl works hard? No, we trust the person setting them up. The boy and girl can get a deeper appreciation of each other while dating.

Why, then, are looks an exception? Why must that be proven? Pressure to provide a photo makes many a girl feel awful. It only adds to her gnawing sense that she is a commodity, not a person with a neshama.

Satmar Starts War With "Toldos Ahron" Rebbe .....

The list of Satmar victims gets larger and larger by the day, with their next victim, the Rebbe of the Toldos Ahron Chassidim...

this time so far ... its the Satmar Rebbe from "Miami Beach"... R' Zalman Leib who is the general of the Satmar Hooligans! 

What started this is that the Toldos Ahron Rebbe was meshadech with the Spinka Rebbe... whom they hate ...
so the Satmar hooligans went and vandalized the wedding ..
kedarkom  ba'koidesh!

Satmar, way back in Hungary and Rumania, terrorized all... yes all, Spinka simchos... and would call the Spinka Rebbe z"l ..."Abish Sheigatz" .... this happened before Hitler ym"s came to power ....

The following is a partial list of Chassidishe Rebbes and Non-Chassidim that Satmar terrorized in the past:
Munkatch, Belz, Chabad, Spinka, Kloizenberg, Kretchnef, Kruli, R' Moshe Feinstein, R' Shteinman.

One of the points that Satmar bullies wrote on the "Kol Korah" against the Toldos Ahron Rebbe was that he signed a contract with the "Medinah" that he would abide by the "Rules and Regulations" of the "Medinah". Which is "chazer treif."

But what the Satmar liars don't tell tell you is that all Satmar Buildings in Israel have the same clause in their contracts!

In Israel, if you want to build a Shul, a Yeshivah, anything for the "tzibbur" the "Medinah" grants the land gratis, for free.....
however, you must sign a waiver that you will follow their rules....

Satmar buildings, be they in Yerushalyim or Bet Shemesh etc...
all have land that they didn't pay for but got for free! 
Yup!!!!! 
And yes..... they signed the waiver....!!!
Now the hypocrites, upset that Toldos Ahron did a shidduch with Spinka , accuse them of the same thing they themselves have been doing for years!
Below see the posters smeared all over Bet Shemesh 

Pope kissed a notorious Islamist anti-Semite

Dear Pope Francis, are you sure the imam of Al Azhar was an angel of peace and not one of death?

The most important picture taken during the Pope's trip to the Arab Emirates was the Pontiff's close encounter with the imam of Al Azhar, Ahmed al Tayyeb. They kissed each other after signing a joint declaration which repudiated violence justified “in the name of religion”.

Religion? I don't see any violence today in the name of Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism, while I see a lot in the name of Islam!

Pocohantas Strikes Again!

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren indicated that her race was "American Indian" in a handwritten registration form filed in 1986 with the Texas State Bar, according to a new report on Tuesday that documents the presidential hopeful's efforts to identify as a minority during her earliest days as a law professor.

The revelation, initially reported by The Washington Post, is the first known instance of Warren claiming Native American ancestry in an official document or in her own handwriting. It threatened to add more ammunition to already-frequent attacks by Republicans, including President Trump, deriding Warren for claiming such ancestry to bolster her academic career.

Warren's office, questioned by The Post, did not dispute the authenticity of the bar card.

The bright-yellow bar card is dated April 1986, when Warren was a professor at the University of Texas School of Law. Past reporting by several outlets, including CNN, had indicated that Warren "had not" listed herself as a minority in her "student applications and during her time as a teacher at the University of Texas." Records unearthed by The Boston Globe found that in 1981, 1985, and 1988, personnel forms at the University of Texas showed that Warren had called herself "white."

TRUMP ROCKS HOUSE 'WE WILL NEVER BE SOCIALIST COUNTRY' BERNIE SCOWLS CBS POLL: 76% APPROVE OF SPEECH

Trump: "America Will Never Be A Socialist Country"; "We Were Born Free And We Will Stay Free"

President Trump said the United States will never become a socialist country in his 2019 State of the Union address.

"We stand with the Venezuelan people in their noble quest for freedom — and we condemn the brutality of the Maduro regime, whose socialist policies have turned that nation from being the wealthiest in South America into a state of abject poverty and despair," Trump said Tuesday night.

"Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country," the president said. "America was founded on liberty and independence - not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free, and we will stay free."

"Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country," Trump declared.

“Antisemite Of The Year Award” Featuring Top 10 Of World’s Jew-Haters

“This is a participatory approach to having a social conversation to determine who among these ten celebrated racists deserves the moniker of ‘Antisemite of the Year’ for their contributions to the spreading of Nazi-level propaganda that would make Joseph Goebbels (Nazi propaganda minister) proud,” said Dov Hikind, former New York state assemblyman, and chairman of the Coalition for a Positive America

The ‘Antisemite of the Year Award’ campaign presents ten of the most notorious antisemites who are presented with one of their many offending statements that prove a consistent antisemitism. Online users can vote for any of the ten nominees presented or submit a ‘write-in’ choice. The winner, with most votes, will win the Joseph P. Goebbels Excellence in Propaganda Grant, a value of $5,000, which will go to helping the winner publicize their antisemitic comments through an online campaign. They’ll also get a signed bobble-Goebbels-head that spews out antisemitic vitriol every time you make him open his mouth.

“This campaign serves as a warning to those who will later say they didn’t know or weren’t warned,” cautioned Hikind. “Whether they’re on the Left or the Right, all of these haters have been nominated because they are consistent in their expressions of hatred for the Jewish people, sometimes expressed in code of ‘anti-Zionism’ which everyone knows is just the in-vogue way of being a Jew-hater. They also hold the proud distinction of being the faces of this new-layer of the ‘oldest hatred’.”

Linda Goldbloom Dies After Being Hit By A Ball At A Dodger Game

 

A woman died as a result of being struck in the head by a foul ball at Dodger Stadium last August, according to a coroner’s report obtained by ESPN .

Linda Goldbloom was celebrating her 79th birthday and 59th wedding anniversary to her husband at a game Aug. 25 when a ball hit by San Diego’s Franmil Reyes traveled over an area protected by netting and struck Goldbloom in the head. She died four days later at L.A. County-USC Medical Center.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s report said trauma from the batted ball was the cause of death.

The Dodgers said in a statement to ESPN they are “deeply saddened” by Goldbloom’s death and the “matter has been resolved between the Dodgers and the Goldbloom family.”

For the first time last season, all 30 major league ballparks had expanded protective netting that reached to at least the far ends of each dugout. The push for expansion increased in 2017 after a series of spectator injuries.

Reb Chaim Kanievsky Totally Ignores Party All around Him

Headstone of girl buried in Har Hamnuchot reads: She Was Murdered by the Doctors!

A visitor to the Har Hamenuhot cemetery in Jerusalem will be surprised to see the headstone for one girl buried at the cemetery, which states that she was "murdered by the doctors."

"She was murdered by the doctors at Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem under the law of the Knesset of the heretics and the masses, may their names be erased. May G-d avenge her blood. All is in the hands of the almighty," the headstone reads.

Last month, 16-year-old Uriah Mahfoud passed away at Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center. She had been hospitalized following the development of difficulties in her motor functions that indicated problems in her brain functions. Her condition deteriorated and she was declared brain dead.

The medical staff at the hospital issued a death certificate for the girl even though her heart was still beating, in line with the accepted medical opinion that brain death is true death.

The girl's father refused to accept the death certificate and petitioned the court against the hospital's conduct. The judges accepted the hospital's decision.

After the girl's heart stopped beating, the girl was laid to rest with the family's agreement.

The status of brain death as true death has been a subject of debate among halakhic scholars and rabbis for decades. In 1986, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel issued a ruling recognizing brain death as true death.

Rav Elyashiv's Army Recruitment Certificate Being Auctioned

I guess this was way before Rav Shmuel Auerbach's royal decree, that Yeshivah Boys shouldn't even register for the draft! 

Shortly before the establishment of the State of Israel, a law for compulsory recruitment was enacted alongside the תורה אומנותו Law, which granted yeshivah students exemption from military service and other exemptions due to social reasons. Rebbe Elyashiv reported on the 24th of November 1948, in Jerusalem Conscription Center and received a service exemption.

The certificate (pictured above) he was issued includes personal information such as his year of birth, height, marital status, children, address, occupation, job location and reason for his exemption. It is complete with a photo of him at age 38 and boasts his full signature.

The opening bid: $5,000.00

Estimate: $7,000.00 - $10,000.00

Auction will take place Tuesday Feb 19, 2019

Chief Rabbinate Ignores private panel of rabbis that annulled marriage of abused wife who sought divorce

In rare move, rabbis find nuptials were ‘a mistake’ as husband hid his criminal past; Chief Rabbinate says it won’t recognize measure and woman is still considered married

Screen capture from video of a private rabbinic court session which retroactively invalidated a marriage, 

A private rabbinic court in Jerusalem has retroactively invalidated the marriage of woman who was refused a religious divorce by her husband, reasoning that if the wife had known of her husband’s violent criminal past she would not have married him in the first place, the Ynet website reported Monday.

The extremely rare move was made to release the woman from the marriage after her husband refused to grant her a get, or religious divorce.

Following several weeks of deliberations, the three-man panel convened in a Jerusalem synagogue on Sunday where they ruled the marriage was “a mistake.”

Morton Sobell of the Rosenberg Spy Ring Dies at 101

Few Americans recognized the name Morton Sobell when his recent death at age 101 was disclosed last week.

But for much of the Left, it was long an article of faith that Sobell and his co-defendants, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, had been framed for their radical politics and were never Soviet spies, as the government charged. In these circles, the Rosenbergs’ execution in 1953 counts as a great outrage.

But a decade ago Sobell, who served 18 years of a 30-year prison sentence, stunned his former comrades by confessing all.

Yes, he admitted, he and the Rosenbergs were dedicated communists who’d stolen US military secrets and passed them to Moscow, though he “never thought of it” as espionage.

"How To Identify A Kosher Bird" 

The Torah itself itemizes all of the different species of un-kosher birds.

What should one do if one isn't familiar and cannot recognize the birds that are mentioned in the Torah that are un-kosher and cannot distinguish which birds are kosher?

So the rabbis gave us distinct characteristics of birds so that even a novice could distinguish which birds are kosher and which ones are not. 

For example, a bird that is a predator and consumes its prey alive, is an un-kosher bird.

A bird that eats food thrown in the air is considered a דורס .. a predator and that bird is not kosher.

If we find a bird that doesn't have the characteristics just mentioned, we must then examine it to see if it has any of the kosher characteristics. 

Which are:

(1) An extra finger

(2) A crop, זפק, that is the place where the bird stores what it has eaten before its digested.

(3) And finally, If one can easily peel off the outer membrane of the gizzard without having to use a knife.

Welch's Grape Juice and Other Juice Products Contain High Levels Of Heavy Metals

A study released by Westchester-based Consumer Reports this week found that there was measurable levels of cadmium, inorganic arsenic, mercury or lead found in every single one of 45 juice products it tested from major brands sold across the country. Of those 45 juices tested, approximately half had “concerning” levels of metals.

Consumer Reports, headquartered in Yonkers, tested apple, grape and pear and fruit blends of juices that are found in both local and national retailers. According to the report, Consumer Reports chief science officer said that, “in some cases, drinking just four ounces a day - or half a cup - is enough to raise concerns.”

The juices tested include: 365 Everyday Value (Whole Foods), Apple & Eve, Big Win (Rite Aid), Capri Sun, Clover Valley (Dollar General), Great Value (Walmart), Gerber, Good2Grow, Gold Emblem (CVS), Goya, Honest Kids, Juicy Juice, Looza, Market Pantry (Target), Minute Maid, Mott's, Nature's Own, Ocean Spray, Old Orchard, R.W. Knudsen, Simply Balanced (Target), Trader Joe's, Tree Top and Welch's.
