"GO TO HELL" ...... Really? What does "Hell" even mean?" Here See A Kabbalistic Answer and Approach
In this essay, we will explore the different words for gehinnom (commonly translated as “hell” or “purgatory”).
The Talmud (Eruvin 19a) cites Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi’s statement that there are seven Biblical terms which refer to gehinnom: sheol, avadon, be’er shachat, bor shaon, tit hayaven, tzal-mavet, and eretz hatachtit.
In the following paragraphs, we will explore the literal and esoteric meanings of these seven terms, as well as several more.
Worker For Jewish Diamond Dealer Sues Him For $7 Million Caims Boss Harassed,Tormented Her,
Raimonda Jarusauskaite |
A woman working for an international diamond dealer is suing the company and one of its bosses for what she claims is an executive’s “demented fixation” on her and his long-running campaign to get her fired.
Raimonda Jarusauskaite alleges in her lawsuit that Diamonds International Chief Operating Officer Morris Gad “terrorized” her through his efforts to push her out, causing her to fear for her life and the lives of her children.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court, claims Gad falsely accused her of orchestrating an armed robbery at a company outpost in Playa de Carmen, Mexico, where she worked and then waged a campaign to discredit and harass her in the local media.
First Democratic debate was a good night — for .......Trump!
Section 1325! ....................Section 1325!
For a few crucial minutes in the middle of the first Democratic presidential debate, Julián Castro (polling average: 0.8 percent) took over the proceedings by challenging his fellow candidates to endorse the repeal of Section 1325 of the Immigration and Naturalization Act.
What’s it about? Don’t ask.
He yelled at Beto O’Rourke about it and expressed his deep disappointment that O’Rourke wasn’t joining him in supporting the repeal of Section 1325.
O’Rourke is at 3.3 percent in the Real Clear Politics polling average, so you can see why Castro thought it was so important to nail him. If he really cuts into Beto’s support, Castro might rise to a whole 1.5 percent.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren — poll average 12.8 percent — could barely get a word in edgewise.
ISRAELI COMPANY WILL HELP SECURE US BORDER WITH MEXICO
Israeli defense electronics company Elbit Systems announced on Wednesday that its US subsidiary has been awarded a $26 million contract by the US Customs and Border Protection to install a multi-sensor system to monitor the U.S.-Mexico border.
According to a report in the Israeli financial daily Globes, Elbit will install an Integrated Fixed Towers (IFT) system in Arizona.
Elbit has been involved in a number of projects with US Customs regarding border security.
The IFT system is a command and control center with sensors that monitors the US-Mexico border and provides intelligence to agents patrolling on the ground.
“Elbit Systems of America is honored to have been selected by the CBP and the Tohono O’odham Nation to provide a solution to suit the needs of those living and working along the border in the Casa Grande Area of Responsibility. This project clearly demonstrates our company’s mission to provide innovative solutions that protect and save lives,” said Elbit Systems of America president and CEO Ranaan Horowitz, according to Globes.
The "Meraglim" Are Alive In the USA!
Allow me to explain:
Rashi tells us that the Spies in the wilderness were the leaders, the "gedoilim" of the tribes.
Instead of conquering the Land of Israel and building the Nation of Israel in the Holy Land, they wanted to remain in the wilderness (America, France, England, Australia, South Africa…) and enjoy the Manna, the Well of Miriam, and the protection afforded by the Clouds of Glory.
They wanted to learn Torah and not get their hands dirty with the commandment of conquering and dwelling in the Promised Land.
They wanted a private Judaism, and not the Torah of a Jewish Nation. They wanted to make do with the mitzvot incumbent on the individual and forget about the many mitzvot incumbent on the Klal – the Nation in its entirety.
They wanted to reduce the Torah to a religion, instead of the Constitution of the Israelite Nation.
In other words, they wanted to be “Children of Wilderness” and not Children of Israel. Just like the Jews in the Diaspora want to be Children of America, and Children of France, and Children of England, and not the Children if Israel, with all of its added national obligations.
1 In 5 Americans Say Small Businesses Should Be Able To Refuse Service To Jews.....
Interesting that the same people surveyed would be upset if a bakery would refuse to bake a wedding cake for "feigalach"
How about serving self-hating Jews like the NK's?
Nineteen percent of Americans think small business owners should be allowed to refuse service to Jews if doing so would violate their religious beliefs, a new poll shows.
That is an increase from 2014, when 12 percent of respondents agreed with the statement, according to survey results published Tuesday by the Public Religion Research Institute .

Orthodox Lesbian Comedian Leah Forster Is Having the Last Laugh?
Leah Forster had last prayed at Jerusalem’s Western Wall 18 years ago. She had just graduated from high school and was still living the life of a Hasidic girl.
It was her first trip to Israel, and she had come to visit friends studying in a seminary for religious girls.
Looking back, she recalls a sense of disappointment that her first visit to the Jewish holy site had left her feeling cold. In fact, what she remembers most now is her sense of angst about what the future held. “I was like, ‘Crap, I’m coming home and I’ll probably have to get married to someone I don’t love.’”
“There were tears streaming down my face when I walked in,” Forster, 36, tells Haaretz.
“I was so grateful and so overwhelmed. I looked to the right of me, and there was this ultra-Hasidic lady. To the left there was an Ethiopian Jew, and behind me a woman in jeans. And it was just like we’re all one. I felt so connected and grateful.”
Another big difference — perhaps the most significant — was that this time she was accompanied by her wife (also called Leah).
Bais Din Rules That any Talk About Berland the Admitted "Sexual Predater and Bully" is Lashan Hara :)
Is it a wonder that no one takes a Bais Din seriously anymore?
A guy admitted in open court that he raped women repeatedly and there are videos that went viral of him punching his followers in the face....and we can't say "boo" ???
A Beis Din comprised of three of the top Dayanim in Eretz Yisroel issued a Kol Koreh regarding both sides of the dispute between the Shuvu Bonim movement and those that dispute the leader of that movement R. Eliezer Berland.
The Kol Koreh was issued by the three members of the Beis Din, and a letter of support was appended to the ruling of the Beis Din – expressing confidence in them. An addition was added by Rav Moshe Shternbuch that indicated the necessity to minimize Chillul Hashem.
Monday, 21 Sivan 5779
By virtue of the fact that we, who are signed below, have been appointed by the leading Batei Dinim in the land of Israel to be and act as Beis Din to investigate the arguments against Rabbi Eliezer Berland, the leader of the Shuvu Bonim Kehillah and to rule upon the manner in which everyone should conduct themselves. And in light of the fact that Rabbi Berland and his Kehillah have accepted upon themselves to adjudicate the issues before the Beis Din, therefore, the Beis Din is obligating all sides from this day onward to immediately cease all the hate, all the persecution, all the arguments, and all the slander. They are not to speak nor publicize any negative matter one of the other, nor express any negative nickname, in any manner or form – neither in print or orally or through any medium printed or broadcasted.
Whomsoever has any complaint or response, or legal tort in this matter must bring and present all complaints to be examined and resolved solely in front of this Beis Din.
The Beis Din will appoint a special secretary (the details of which will be announced), and only through his agency will it be possible to bring complaints for investigation and resolution.
On this we have signed upon,
Rav Sriel Rosenberg, Rav Shmuel Eliezer Stern, Rav Yehudah Fisher
We who have signed below, rely upon the aforementioned Gaonim to clarify and rule upon the manner upon which everyone must conduct themselves
Rav Yitzchok Tuvya Weiss, Rav Moshe Shternbuch, Rav Chaim Meir HaLevi Vosner, Rav Yehudah Silman, Rav Menachem Mendel Lubin, Rav Shevach Tzvi Rosenblatt, Rav Yoseph Binyomin Tzvi Rosenblatt, Rav Menachem Mendel HaKohen Shafran, and Rav Naftoli Nusbaum.

Palestinian accused of raping 7 year-old Chareidie Israeli girl Walks Free!
Mahmoud Qadusa Accused Rapist |
The Israel Defense Forces’ military advocate general announced Tuesday morning that he was dropping the charges against a Palestinian man accused of brutally raping a seven-year-old Israeli girl.
The indictment against Mahmoud Qadusa had come under fire for its apparent lack of evidence, a fact that the military prosecutor, Sharon Afek, acknowledged in a statement to the press announcing the annulment of the charges.
The statement said that “the evidentiary infrastructure that underlies the indictment does not at this time amount to a ‘reasonable chance of conviction.’ Therefore, by law, the criminal process cannot continue, the indictment must be withdrawn and Qadusa released from custody.”

Yeshivah Protesters Start Up With Wrong Bus Driver ....He Mowed Them Down
Protesters blocked roads in Jerusalem as they protested the arrest of a Charedi girl.
During the protests, a bus driver, whose bus had been surrounded by the protesters who were violently pushing and shoving, simply kept driving.
By doing so he caused the protesters to move out of his way and was able to leave the area.
It's about time that a bus driver did that.
You have a right to peacefully protest, We have a right to live in peace with out being inconvenienced every time some one decides that he wants to protest.

The "perfidy" of Debbie Maimon Who Re-Wrote The Rescue of the Satmar Rebbe by the Zionists In the Yated!
Rudolph Kastner |
No Question!
Comes along Debbie Maimon, who wants to "tuches lekk" the naive Yesivishe anti-Zionists, and erases that fact in her latest column in the Yated, headlined:
"The Astounding Escape of the Rebbes of Ger, Belz, and Satmar During the Holocaust"
Every Jewish child is taught while its still nursing that "hakaras ha'toiv" is the single most important virtue in Yiddishkeit!
Moshe Rabbeinu had many names ... his father named him "Chever" and his mother named him "Yekuseil" according to the Midrash ....
But he is never called any of these names in the entire Torah....
he is called "Moshe"
"כי מן-המים משיתהו"
The name Moshe was given to him by Pharo's daughter, his rescuer,
and she named him that because she "drew him out of the water!"
So to remind us how Moshe was rescued and by whom.... Hashem saw fit to use only the name that a shiksah gave him!

Cellphone Use Makes HORNS Grow In Young People: study
Are smartphones turning us into monsters?
In a BBC report about the changing human skeleton published last week, biomechanics researcher Dr. David Shahur of the University of The Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, says he’s noticed an increasingly common horn-like growth at the base of the neck — sometimes so large they can be seen and felt through the skin.
“I have been a clinician for 20 years,” Shahur says, “and only in the last decade, increasingly I have been discovering that my patients have this growth on the skull.”
These horns or “spikes,” which clinicians call an “external occipital protuberance,” were first noted in 1885, but thought to be so rare that French scientist Paul Broca — credited for his research on the area of the frontal lobe dubbed Broca’s area — argued the anomaly was undeserving of a medical diagnosis.
Follower of Sex Pervert Berland Beats The Hell Out Of Rav Zalman Grossman At Kever Shimon Hatzadik
Police arrested a man who they say savagely assaulted Rav Zalman Grossman at Kever Shimon Hatzadik in Yerushalayim on Wednesday.
Police say the man is a 30-year-old resident of Bnei Brak.
The suspect told the judge that they have the wrong person, but the judge said video surveillance as well as other evidence shows that police nabbed the correct person.
The judge ordered his remand in police custody until Monday.
Rav Grossman told a young child who was making alot of noise and being disrespectful at the kever to please be quiet and act appropriately. Seconds later, a young man, reportedly a member of the Shuvu Banim Cult, led by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, ran into the Kever, and began punching Rav Grossman repeatedly in the face, kicking him, and even throwing chairs and Shtenders at him.
People who were at the Kever were unable to stop the man, as he overpowered them all and continued his savage attack.
Rav Grossman was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for multiple traumatic injuries as well as serious facial trauma.

''Redemption of the Firstborn"
This Perek in Bechorot, is the eight chapter of this tractate and deals with the laws of Pidyon Ha'Ben, and the chapter is called "Yesh Bechor", "There Is A Firstborn."
According to one approach, it was forbidden to make use of any Firstborn Jewish child that came out of Egypt after the Exodus.
When the Jewish people came out of Egypt, Hashem instructed Moshe:
"קדש לי כל בכור" ......."Sanctify every Firstborn to Me"
Following the commentary of the Seforno, had Hashem not commanded to immediately redeem all of the bechorim, it would have been prohibited to utilize any of those people for mundane purposes because of their holy status.
Bechorim or Firstborn still possess a special status today. Although they are not sacred, it is a mitzvah to redeem the firstborn son, by giving five silver coins to the kohein.

Dr Herschkopf a Psychiatrist Convinced Businessman Martin Markowitz to alienate his family and endow his fortune to him
Marty Markowitz |
This is one of the strangest stories you’ll ever read, about one of the strangest stories ever told in a podcast.
“The Shrink Next Door,” rated No. 1 for three weeks straight on Apple’s Podcast charts, is about a Manhattan psychiatrist, Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf, known for treating — and name-dropping — an array of celebrity patients while becoming well known in US Jewish and literary philanthropic circles.
The podcast, written and hosted by Bloomberg columnist Joe Nocera, is mostly about Martin Markowitz, a longtime patient of Herschkopf, who says he spent most of his life – more than 30 years – under Herschkopf’s sway. In six episodes — a seventh comes out this week — Nocera describes how the psychiatrist isolated Markowitz from his friends and family and encouraged him not to pursue potential marriage partners.
There’s more:
“Shrink” describes how Herschkopf became president of Markowitz’s theatrical fabrics business, created a charitable foundation almost entirely with Markowitz’s money, and got the foundation and his wife named in Markowitz’s will after his patient removed his sister and her children at the psychiatrist’s suggestion.
