Israeli UN Ambassador Explains Why Israel Belongs Legally To The Jewish People !
This lesson is a lesson for Satmar too, since they just like the Arabs deny Jewish rights to the Land of Israel !
William Handler Defender of A Rapist"..Now the Guru For Anti-Vaxxers!
On Monday night in Monsey, the Atrium was packed with ultra-Orthodox Jews.
The ballroom of the massive catering hall usually hosts lively Hasidic weddings.
This week it welcomed hundreds of people from around the New York City area who had come to this suburb — itself home to a large population of Haredim — to hear from people who believe that vaccines are harmful, and that anyone trying to get you to vaccinate your child is in the pocket of pharmaceutical corporations.
But while the audience was almost entirely religious, only one of the speakers at the “vaccine symposium” was:
Rabbi Hillel Handler, who has become something of a poster child for the minority of Hasidic Jews who are rejecting calls from within their community and without to vaccinate their children for measles and other diseases.
Rabbi Hillel Handler, who has become something of a poster child for the minority of Hasidic Jews who are rejecting calls from within their community and without to vaccinate their children for measles and other diseases.
It’s not Handler’s first time entering the spotlight as a lightning rod for controversy: He has defended numerous unpopular people, ideas and practices over the years.
“When something is unpopular or no one has the courage to say it, they come to me,” Handler told the Daily News. “If not me, who?”
Handler did not respond to multiple requests for comment left with his family.
The national measles outbreak is now close to the largest since the creation of the measles vaccine.
It continues to spread in the Hasidic communities of upstate New York and New York City due to frequent travel of Hasidic Jews to Israel, where there is an even larger outbreak occurring, as well as the high density of Hasidic neighborhoods and the near-daily social gathering of children in schools and places of worship.
Handler lives in Brooklyn, and is a member of the Satmar Hasidic group. His views on vaccines fall into the same pattern as many of his other opinions: They are far from not only the political mainstream, but from the consensus beliefs of most Hasidic Jews.
Handler also believes that crimes of sexual assault should be dealt with by rabbis, not the police, and defended Rabbi Yisroel Weingarten, a New York rabbi who was sentenced to 30 years in prison for molesting his daughter.
Handler spoke in Monsey on Monday alongside secular saints of the anti-vaccine movement, including the disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield, who helped kickstart the modern anti-vaccine movement with a since-debunked study linking vaccinations to autism.
In his speech, Handler suggested that Hasidic Jews are being attacked in Brooklyn for simply sneezing on the sidewalk, and has falsely suggested that New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is targeting Jews because he is secretly German. (Handler, 77, is reportedly a Holocaust survivor.)
“We Hasidim have been chosen as the target,” Handler said on Monday, according to The New York Times. “The campaign against us has been successful.”
Handler also made several erroneous statements about vaccines and the diseases they are meant to protect against.
Measles vaccines are safe for the vast, vast majority of recipients, and there is no link between vaccination and autism.
To be sure, Handler’s views are far outside the norm in the Hasidic world. While some schools in Rockland County, the suburban county north of New York that is home to several large Hasidic communities, have vaccination rates that barely reach two-thirds that of the state’s average rate, others have vaccination rates at or better than national averages. Hasidic rabbis have repeatedly encouraged their constituents to get themselves and their children vaccinated.
Handler has played into concerns among Hasidic Jews that government agencies are anti-religious and are determined to disrupt their highly traditional, often socially insular communities.
In a statement issued Wednesday titled “Nonsense and Insults at a Recent Monsey Gathering,” Agudath Israel of America, the largest Hasidic umbrella group, called Handler’s attack on de Blasio “deeply offensive.”
“It is unfortunate that he was allowed to share his imaginings with others,” the statement read.
Speaking to the New York Times on Tuesday, Handler appeared to walk back his opposition to vaccines somewhat.
“I don’t mind if someone takes a vaccine. It’s not my business,” he told a reporter. “What am I, a fascist? Am I going to bring down the law?”

Michaela Levit's "Lone IDF Soldier" Body Will Be Flown Back To South Florida
The funeral will take place on Friday at 3 pm, Star of David funeral home 7701 Bailey Rd, North Lauderdale, 33068
They bled, he fled.
A midtown plastic surgeon has apparently left the country, leaving a trail of patients upset about botched tummy tucks and liposuctions and unable to get their medical records.
The state Office of Professional Medical Conduct yanked Dr. Amnon Eric Sadeh’s license earlier this month after he failed to produce requested medical records and then did not show up for a disciplinary hearing.
Investigators had been trying since March 2016 to get copies of records for five of Sadeh’s patients, but the doctor stopped responding in July 2016, state records show.
He sold his Tribeca condo in August 2016 for $3.2 million.
The state followed up with certified letters but got no answer. In August 2018, Sadeh’s mother said the surgeon was in Israel, according to state Health Department documents.
Ana Kardashian said she never got records for her daughter’s 2015 nose job despite complaining to the state. She said her daughter landed in the hospital after Sadeh overprescribed pain medication after surgery.
“The New York Department of Health — that’s the most upsetting,” the mom said. “I would assume they would do something more efficiently, but they made us wait for a very long time and then … they said the guy cannot be located.”
Sadeh’s disappearance also put former patients seeking to sue him in a bind. Joshua Fogel, who represented two women who claimed he botched their tummy tucks, said the lawsuits couldn’t go forward because they couldn’t locate Sadeh.
The lawsuits were among four malpractice claims filed against Sadeh, 58, since 2016.
A message left for Sadeh with his mother was not returned.
“As soon as it became clear that this physician would be uncooperative, the department immediately took action to ensure this physician can no longer practice medicine in New York,” said DOH spokeswoman Jill Montag who said the agency was still working to try to help patients get their records.

Jewish-American author Herman Wouk dead at 103
Jewish American Pulitzer Prize-winning author Herman Wouk died on Friday at the age of 103.
Wouk was just 10 days shy of his 104th birthday and was working on a book until the end, said his literary agent Amy Rennert, according to The Associated Press.
Rennert said Wouk died in his sleep at his home in Palm Springs, California, where he settled after spending many years in Washington, D.C.
Wouk was born in the Bronx in 1915, the second of three children born to Esther and Abraham Isaac Wouk, Russian Jewish immigrants from what is today Belarus.
The household was religious — his mother was a rabbi’s daughter — and devoted to books. His father would read to him from Sholem Aleichem.
His Jewish faith inspired his stories of religious values and secular success.
Wouk won the Pulitzer in 1952 for The Caine Mutiny. A film adaptation, starring Humphrey Bogart, came out in 1954 and Wouk turned the courtroom scene into the play The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.
Other highlights included Don’t Stop the Carnival, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance.
One of Wouk’s most influential books was This Is My God, published in 1959 and an even-handed but firm defense of Judaism. For much of his life, noted AP, he studied the Talmud daily and led a weekly Talmud class. He gave speeches and sermons around the country and received several prizes, including a lifetime achievement award from the Jewish Book Council.

Nadler's Russian Ties! ..... Paid Ezra Friedlander $1,000.00 Per Month For 16 Years
You would think that Nadler who keeps torturing President Trump on Russian Collusion, while he himself is up to his neck with Russian ties .... would hide in a closet!
A NEW DAY IN BEIT SHEMESH...
The 2018 municipal elections in Beit Shemesh shocked Israel and the Jewish world. A religious-Zionist woman, Dr. Aliza Bloch, defeated the incumbent ultra-Orthodox mayor in a city in which the ultra-Orthodox are the majority.
by Dov Lipman
Since then there has been a noticeable improvement in municipal services, and appointments have been made based on skill, ability and experience, and not on political deals and nepotism.
But what happened at the Beit Shemesh Remembrance Day ceremony reflects the greatest change the city is experiencing since the election.
Thousands of residents gathered at the city memorial for those who have been killed while serving in the IDF or in terror attacks. The ceremony included prayers, musical presentations, a moving video about the 100 residents who lost their lives for the country, and speeches from the mayor, a member of Knesset and a relative of one of those who had been killed.
The very first musical presentation shocked the audience. A choir made up of ultra-Orthodox men and boys walked onto the stage, along with a hassidic cantor. They sang the prayer for IDF soldiers. That’s right. In Beit Shemesh – a city where religious extremists ruled in past years and where soldiers have had to use caution and not enter certain ultra-Orthodox areas in uniform – an ultra-Orthodox choir and cantor openly sang the prayer for IDF soldiers.
That never happened when the city had an ultra-Orthodox mayor. But with the victory of a religious-Zionist mayor whose stated goal was to unify the city and create an atmosphere where all populations could feel comfortable, the previously silenced moderate ultra-Orthodox population – which believes in tolerance, coexistence and the integration of the ultra-Orthodox into society – is now able to make its voice heard.

Rivka & Dovid Weber of Chicago Turn Out To Be Christians!
By COLlive reporter
A couple who have recently moved to a Jewish neighborhood in Chicago has been exposed to be non-Jews posing as Orthodox Jews, with the mission to influence others.
Rabbi Levi Notik of Chicago has informed the community that the couple who go by the names David and Rivkah Castello were recognized by a visitor from Brooklyn to be a couple who had been exposed there last year.
David and Rivkah Castello moved to West Rogers Park in Chicago a few months ago, and they dress, act and behave like Frum Jews, and Daven in local Shuls, Rabbi Notik warned. Rivkah works as a babysitter for young children in the neighborhood.
David looks like a Frum yid, wearing the traditional clothing and sporting long peyos.
When asked, the couple admits that she is not Jewish, and he claims his maternal great-grandmother was.
Notik says that he met with the couple, and they did not deny being in the neighborhood “on a mission to specifically live among the Frum community and actively influence others.”
“They have beliefs of Kefira and Christianity,” Notik says. “He doesn’t deny any of it, on the contrary, he insists that he is correct in his way, and has no regrets.”
Notik says by Hashgocha Protis, a Sofer in town from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, saw David Castello in Shul, and recognized him immediately, alerting others to the imposter.
The couple has done the same thing in Brooklyn last year (at Beis Midrash Razlo and other Shuls) until they were exposed and told to leave, the visitor said.
After doing research, Notik discovered that the couple has ties to the international Christian group Global Gates, whose vision according to their website is “to see gospel transformation of the world’s most unevangelized people groups who have come to global gateway cities, and through them reach their communities around the world.”
The newsletter for JCFI, a Church in Texas, ran an article on the couple in 2016, describing their mission to infiltrate a Chasidic community.
Israeli arrested after being accused of spitting at Polish ambassador
Too bad that the guy who did the spitting wasn't a "brisker" .. if he was, he would have spit at him with the full shiur of the Chazon Ish!
A 65-year-old Israeli man has been arrested for allegedly spitting at the Polish ambassador, police said Wednesday, adding to tensions between the two countries.
The lawyer of the man named as Arik Lederman claims the incident was "blown out of proportion" and Lederman apologized for the act, reported the Times of Israel.
Israel's envoy to Poland Anna Azari was summoned to the Polish foreign ministry in Warsaw over the incident, Polish foreign ministry spokeswoman Ewa Suwara said.
Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called it a "xenophobic act of aggression" while President Andrzej Duda said it appeared to be an "anti-Polish act of hatred."
Polish ambassador Marek Magierowski was sitting in his car on Tuesday when a man approached and "spat at him", police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Lederman's attorney told the court that an embassy guard had addressed him with an anti-Jewish slur and refused him entry to the Polish embassy in Tel Aviv where he was seeking to inquire about restitution for Jewish property lost in the Holocaust.
Police arrested Lederman later Tuesday, Rosenfeld said. The suspect appeared before the Tel Aviv magistrates' court on Wednesday, where he was ordered to remain under house arrest for another day, the police chief added.
Lederman was also banned from approaching the Polish embassy in Tel Aviv for 30 days.

Did Flatbush "Askanim" Just Elect An Anti-Semite in the 45th District????
In 2010, Fararah Louis approvingly retweeted a comment "these Jews are annoying me"
I'm not so sure that this constitutes being an "antisemite" but it is certainly very troubling!
The Flatbush "Tzadikim" couldn't get enough of the newly elected Haitian Councilman, fawning and hovering over her like she was the Belzer Rebbetzin (Lehavdil).
And they didn't vet her... all they cared was to knock out a Frum "vaibel" because she didn't conform and made "choizik" of their hypocrisy!
These "askanim" and may I add rabbonim who made a big deal of the Flatbush Girl's fight for a lady, who is a lesbian comedian, to perform in a Kosher restaurant for Ladies only, didn't say one word and were totally silent when one of their own, ....Assemblyman Eichenstein ...yes that one ... with the langeh rekkel ..der Bobover, voted for the "Gay" law!
Meanwhile calls to Farah Louis's office for an explanation of her disgusting tweet went unanswered!

Frum Askanim & Rabbonim That Were Silent When Nadler Put Jews in Jeopardy Congratulate Haitian Concilman on Her Win in 45th District
Thank You @ChaskelBennett for the powerful words at the victory party of @FarahNLouis who just won the special election for Council #District45 #AUnified45 #Farahfor45 our community UNITED not DIVIDED can’t be DEFEATED!
Interesting! Very interesting .......
I am not going into the politics of who was a better person for the job .....
But I find this "chanifa" for a Haitian nauseating!
This Haitian will represent a district that encompasses the Flatbush Jewish neighborhoods and has yet to condemn the hateful words of the antisemite triumvirate in Congress!
I'm not saying that it's her job...because she won in a local election..... but traditionally local politicians especially when they are running for local office voice their indignation on politics that effects their constituents ...
Not a word!
Yet these "askanim" "tuches lekke" and hover over her as if she is mashiach ben dovid!
Where were they when one of their very own, Ezra Friedlander went around in frum neighborhoods advocating for the self-hating Jew, Nadler?
And what was he advocating?
He was advocating that the USA hand nuclear weapons to the murderers in Iran!!!!
And who was supporting this?
Nadler!! the one who gave blood money to the backstabbing Jew Friedlander, so that he promote a cause that could G-d forbid do more damage than Hitler ym"s!
Where were these "Askanim Cowards" when the Satmar Rebbe started a letter writing campaign to congress urging Congressman not to attend the address of the Prime Minister of Israel who was begging congress to stop the failed Iran Deal?
The treasonous letter went further, begging them to back the Iran Deal ....
But they paused from slurping shmaltz herring and guzzling 100 year old Glenfidduch and came out of their Flatbush million dollar mansions like roaches to tuches lekk an unknown ,,and got Rabbonim to get involved in this small district just to make certain that a Jewish Frum lady doesn't get elected ......
It could very well be that she doesn't stand for their values...
Yes it could be ???
Why are the parents whose children follow Flatbush girl on Instagram, coming out against her?
Question: You allow your child to be on Instagram??? You hypocrite! So when it comes to Instagram you ignore the Rabbis but now you suddenly become frum and say "I'm following Daas Torah!"
Let me ask you a question...
Does Flora Louis condemn the LGBT Community, or does she support it?
Does Flora Louis condemn late term abortion or condemn it?
Flora Louis is on the same page in her agenda as the Flatbush Girl is, but she is black and wears pants!

Grape Juice Plant Looking For "Frum Mainstream Bochur " "No Shaving or Trimming Beard"
This ad appeared in the COLIVE Crown Heights News Blog!
How crazy and Meshigah is this?
Only a crazed lonely meshiginer idiot would take a job like this to begin with!
If he is "mainstream" why isn't he learning?
Why is a "mainstream" boy taking a job away from his family in HotzenPlutz?
So now "Frum Mainstream" means a boy who grows his beard like a wild hillbilly?
A bochur that shaves or G-d forbid trims his beard is no longer qualified to push a button??
Go take your "Grape Juice" and pour it all over your white shirt....

''The Keeper of Calfs "
the neighbor asks Reuvein for a favor explaining that he must run
into town and wants Reuvein to watch the calf....
Reuvein agrees and as he is about to close his door, Levi his other neighbor runs to his door also holding a calf and asks Reuvein if he can "babysit" his calf as well....
Reuvein always the nice guy, agrees!
A few hours later he hears a commotion from the stable in his back yard, and finds one of the calfs that he was watching...dead!
When the neighbors come back to retrieve their animals and hear the story, they examine the animals, and now, both neighbors claim that the live animal is theirs and the dead one belongs to the other neighbor.
What should poor Reuvein do?
He should place the live calf between the feuding neighbors and walk away.... let them fight it out!
