242 Olim from North America arrive in Israel .... Not One Chasid .. Few Yeshivish!!

I'm watching this 2 1/2 hour video with tears running down my cheeks.... 

Watching how the words of our prophets are coming true in our lifetime..

Watching Grandparents, Great-Grandparents,Parents, Teenagers, Children, toddlers and even newborns ...
Teenagers far from being frum looking forward to join the Jewish army to defend our homeland, all coming off the plane ...looking forward to spend the rest of their lives surrounded by other Jews, in a Jewish country with a Jewish Flag....

after over 2,000 years ...

And suddenly I realize....

not one "Heimishe" person ...not one!

Not one Chusid ... not one ...

and suddenly I'm  sad.....

Raboisai!!!!!

There something very wrong with our chinuch .....something very very scary .....

Rabbonim are worried about what the New York Board of Education is implementing in our moisdois ha"toirah ...

Our moisdois in Chutz Le'aaretz will all be lost ...yes .. 
all ..... yes.....
if we don't embed and infuse our children with "Ahavas Eretz Yisroel"...
 the BOE is going to be the least of your problems .....

Don't you see that it is Yad Hashem sending you this plague? 
Can't you see the message from Above?
You don't ... because  you don't care about Israel....

You instead choose to listen to the lies of the liberal left, you choose to listen to the Reform & Conservative Rabbis with their frum cohorts the Satmar and Yeshivisha Roshei Yeshivas ....

How do you say with a straight face in bentching

על הארץ ועל המזון

"Blessed be Hashem for the Land and the Food!"

How do you repeat that lie so many times a week ...??
Are you really thanking Hashem for the "land"?
You liar ... how do you utter this lie when you have absolutely no intention or even thinking about coming to live in Eretz Yisrael ....???

How do you say with a straight face ...in the על המחיה 

והעלנו לתוכה ...ונאכל מפריה 
"You shall bring us to (eretz Yisrael) so that we can eat its fruit ?"
How do you say that?????

There are even poiskim in Chutz Le'aaretz, Gedoilei Hador, that advise American Jews not to buy Israeli fruits because they may not be "maasered"  tithed....
Crazy .....Stuff!!! 
Unbelievable!!
Not only don't move to Eretz Yisroel ...but don't even eat the fruit . !!!!!!

How about ....
Buy it and learn the halachos... of maaser.....?
but "not to buy fruits grown in Eretz Yisroel?

How low did we go? How far removed are we from the land Hashem gifted to all of us, that even our poiskim are so deeply embedded in the Tumeh of Chutz Le'aaretz ...

How do you end that bracha with:
ונודה לך על הארץ  
" I'm thanking YOU for the land"
You bald faced liar!! 

Are you really thanking Hashem for Eretz Yisrael???

I understand not everyone can make Aliyah ... but at least make sure that your children feel the love of Eretz Yisroel! 
At least don't speak like the meraglim .....

Ignore.... the badmouthing of Israel even if it's your own Rebbe, or Rav or poisek,,,,, Ignore them!!

Who do you think were the meraglim??
They were the "rebbes" they were the Sanhedrin...they were our leaders and poiskim!

Meforshim say that they even had noble and altruistic intentions..
they wanted to learn Torah and be close to Hashem; they didn't want to work ... they didn't want to work the land!

Sounds familiar?

Do you know in last week's parsha, Moshe Rabeinu chastises the Jewish people and reminds them of all their sins ... but did it in "remazim" with riddles, with "hints" only ...not to embarrass Klal Yisrael
the only sin that Moshe didn't hint.... didn't speak with a "remez" ...but spoke directly ....explicitly ... dugree ...
without any hints or remazim ...
was the Chet of the Meraglim ...
Why?
Because he knew that it there will be leaders of Klal Yisroel in the "achris ha'yomim" , some 3,500 years later that will bad mouth Eretz Yisrael ......

If he had spoken in remez in riddles or in hints 
the rebbelich in their Shalosh Seudois Toirelich, would say that Moshe didn't mean that you cannot bad mouth Eretz Yisrael and its inhabitants ..he meant something totally different..

So Moshe spoke directly ... without beating around the bush telling them that this aveirah of speaking ill of Ererz Yisrael will not be forgiven so easily ..
 Now fast and cry every single year on the anniversary of the sin of the meraglim ...

Moshe spoke to ALL Jews not only Rebbelich, Roshei Yeshivah and Fake Poiskim ....
 he spoke to each child, to each pusheter Yid ... they shouldn't get misled by their leaders ...
Every Jew can open a Chumash and see what Moshe said .... you don't need to wait till Shalosh Seudois!! 

Moshe knew that the rebbelich, the Roshei Yeshiva will quote all kinds of gemmarras and midrashim .....
But out master and teacher Moshe wants you to ....
Ignore them! 
Know that they are not the solution they are the problem...
Any Rabbi be he Yeshivish, Chassidish, Conservative, Reform or even liberal progressive....
if he discourages Jews to make Aliyah ... Ignore him!
They are from the meraglim...absolutely!


Why is it that in our heimishe moisdois we teach our children that  after 120 years they should come to Israel in a box ...????
What is wrong coming when you are alive and well???

Isn't that idea right out of the mouth of Bilam..
That he wished to die like a Jew but he refused to live like one!

Watch real Jews ... yes even the girls with pants on .. ..
watch their Ahavas Eretz Yisroel....

I want to know .... and think about this ....
How many Gedoilei Yisrael did Lakewood produce????
How many Gedoilei Yisroel did all Heimishe Yeshivois combined,produce ....?????

The answer is ZERO!!!!

The future of Klall Yisrael is Eretz Yisroel ...

Walk into any Bais Medrish in Israel, be in Yerushalyim. Bet Shemesh, Zfas, and yes even in Tel Aviv, and you will find Thousands of Yiddealach all Gedoilei Yisroel ...
Constant Learning ....24 hours ...

You don't like the Zionists???
Fine ... come here and change it .....

According to the gemmarah in Kesubois ... yes that one ...
the one with the "Shalosh Shvuois" yes that same page ..
The gemmarah states that:
"Anyone living in Chutz Le'aarerz is like living without a G-D!!! "

For generations not all of us had that opportunity...
Read the efforts of the Chafetz Chayim, The Vilna Gaon, the Baal Shem Tov trying to make Aliyah..
How fast would they have been here if the had airplanes in those days .....?

The Midrash states that Moshe Rabeinu was even maskim to come into Eretz Yisrael as an animal...

Wow! Moshe was ready to come to Eretz Yisrael as a squirrel ...and yet we ... who Hashem gave us another chance in 1948 and made sure to have the infrastructure in place to gather in the exiles ... refuse to come as humans! 

 Today B"H we have a country that has bli eyen hara over 6 million Jews living here .... No more excuses ....

Wake Up My Brethern Wake Up Before It's Too Late 

Readers:
I will not publish any negative comments on this post ...save that for the meraglim in your own families, save that for the meraglim of your shuls, save that for the Meraglim in the Rebbeshe Batei Midrashim ...

242 North American Olim are arriving in Israel on Wednesday on a special Aliyah flight chartered by Nefesh B’Nefesh, facilitated in cooperation with Israel’s Aliyah & Integration Ministry, The Jewish Agency for Israel, Keren Kayemeth Le’Israel (KKL), and Jewish National Fund-USA.

The new Olim are from a variety of backgrounds culturally and demographically – hailing from 22 US states and two Canadian provinces. They also include 21 medical professionals, three sets of twins, and a 28-day-old baby, who will officially become the youngest Oleh to make Aliyah with Nefesh B’Nefesh this summer.

Rabin's Granddaughter Meets and Embraces ABBAS Murderer of Jews

Noa Rothman, granddaughter of Yitzchak Rabin Smiles and embraces Abbas

Elihai Ben-Yishai, brother of Ruth Fogel who was murdered in a terrorist attack in Itamar along with her husband Ehud and three of their children in 2011, blasted Democratic Union member Noa Rothman on Tuesday, following her meeting with Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

"You met with a man who pays a salary every month to the murderers of my sister Ruth Fogel, her husband Ehud, and their three children Yoav, Elad and Hadas Fogel," 

Ben-Yishai tweeted in response to a tweet by Rothman about the meeting.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, such wretchedness. continued Ben-Yishai in a jeer toward Rothman, who is Rabin’s granddaughter.

Earlier it was reported that Rothman, alongside MK Esawi Frej, met with Abbas in Ramallah with the approval of the leaders of their party.

Rothman tweeted after the meeting,

 "I met this evening with Palestinian Authority chairman Abu Mazen in Ramallah. I met a leader who is concerned over radicalization in Israeli and Palestinian society, the hopelessness and lack of dialogue, with the understanding that both sides have no other home and no other neighbors and that we have a lot to lose from the ongoing conflict and paying the price in the form of blood."

"As an Israeli, I am angry and disappointed that in the last decade Netanyahu has done nothing to advance the diplomatic process and not even minimal steps of dialogue in order to bring calm in the south. I cannot avoid the heavy feeling that our leadership is failing to act to protect us and move us forward - when there is so much to do, and yet, on the ground, nothing has been done,” Rothman noted.

She continued,

 "The military cannot eradicate incendiary balloons and kites. The residents of the south are in dire straits that the government does not solve. Our national resilience is eroded. And above all - the unbearable cost of the loss of life that this conflict continues to charge."

The cigarettes that made Aliyah

New immigrant caught with 19 suitcases filled to the brim with only cigarettes, attempting to avoid customs tax.

Badri Shimshilshvili was arrested Tuesday evening in Ben Gurion Airport after attempting to smuggle a commercial quantity of cigarettes into Israel without paying customs tax, the Tax Authority reported.

Shimshilshvili, a new immigrant, tried to use his status to avoid paying 500,000 NIS ($143,388) in tax.

Rishon Lezion's Magistrates Court agreed to Ben Gurion Airport Customs Authority's Drug Department's request and released the suspect on condition.

According to the arrest warrant, Shimshilshvili attempted on Tuesday night to walk through the "Green Lane" together with his luggage, and was pulled aside to be checked. The examination revealed 2,228 packets of Winston and Pall Mall cigarettes, packed in nineteen large bags which were to be used to bring his personal belongings from abroad. None of this was reported to customs.

The suspect was then taken to the offices of the Customs Authority's Drug Department, where he connected himself to the cigarettes during an interrogation.

Judge Rina Hirsch has barred Shimshilshoyli from leaving Israel for a period of 180 days, and said he can be released on bail for a sum of 50,000 NIS ($14,339).

The Faces of DemocRATS Running for President

New York Times: Lawns Are Symbols of Racism and "Come on the backs of slaves"

While most Americans are spending time this summer enjoying the sun in the comfort of their houses’ yards, the New York Times is out with a new exposé on how lawn care is problematic, once viewed through the lens of social justice.

Lawns are contributing to pollution and climate change, asserts narrator David Botti, and their origins are far from woke, in a seven-minute video on the history of American lawns.

Botti says lawns are part of the “colonizing of America,” which transformed the landscape from “pristine wilderness” to “identical rows of manicured nature.”

“These lawns come on the backs of slaves,” he continues, zooming in on a painting of George Washington in a field to highlight men cutting the grass with scythes. “It’s grueling, endless work.”

FAKE HECHSHER AT MONTICELLO CASINO RESTAURANT

A treif restaurant in upstate New York has been using a fake hechsher and causing dozens of Jews to eat non kosher food this summer.

24-hour Bistro, located at Resort World Casino in Monticello, New York, is a completely treif eatery that has been tricking frum Jews into eating their food by hanging up a fake kashrus certificate. 

The outdated sign was brought to the restaurant by a conniving worker who got it from New York.

The expired certificate, issued by Rav Yisroel Gornish shlit”a of Khal Chizuk Hadas in New York in 2017, belonged to the now defunct La Cuisine restaurant, formerly located on the corner of East 19th Street and Avenue M in Brooklyn, NY.

Additionally, a few items on the 24-hour Bistro menu have been marked kosher despite there being no indication that any hashgacha were given their stamp of approval on the kitchen.

There have already been multiple instances of Jews eating at the restaurant due to seeing the fake sign without giving it a closer look.

Rav Gornish is aware of the situation and is working tirelessly to have the management remove the phony hechsher and raise awareness of the matter to stop more Jews from being nichshal.

Why Are Yeshivah Boys and Yungelite Denying the Holocaust ???

                       
From EmailimBaTorah 

ואהבת את ה' אלוקיך

 - שיהא שם שמים מתאהב על ידך-- אבל מי שקורא ושונה--ואין דבורו בנחת עם *הבריות, מה הבריות אומרות אליו, 

או לו לפלוני שלמד תורה או לו לאביו-- או לו לרבו-- כמה מקולקלין מעשיו וכמה מכוערין דרכיו וכו' (יומא פ"ו ע"א) 

In most civilized western countries, Holocaust deniers are not tolerated. In some countries, it is a criminal offense.

Even the אומות העולם understand that denying the Holocaust is a most offensive and hurtful type of antisemitism. 

Holocaust victims and their families after suffering through this nightmare of torture and killings who are told to that it never happened or it happened but wasn't as severe as they claim it was, is an extremely painful type of antisemitism.

Unfortunately, there are groups of Yeshiva Bachurim & Yungerleit who are ביודעים ובלא יודעים "Frum Holocaust deniers". 

**There are even some counselors training young children in
camp to become Holocaust deniers.

When demonstrators shout at the police "נאצים" (Nazis)
that is Holocaust denial. 

If a Jewish policeman who has his job to do to keep the demonstrators in an area so as not to block traffic etc. (even if he is overly rough etc.)  is being compared to a German SS Nazi who was part of the killing machine of six million, who tortured millions who starved millions who slave labored millions, that is the ultimate רשעות one can do to the Holocaust Kedoshim, survivors, their 

children, and to every thinking Yid.

You may be a Neturei Karta, Satmar, Peleg, etc. and you have the full right to demonstrate against the Zionist State.

However, you may not be a Holocaust Denier. It is your responsibility to make sure that the non-Frum Tziyoinim won't say 

 או לו לפלוני שלמד תורה 

"Woe is to this person who

learned Torah "וכמה מכוערין דרכיו "and how ugly are his ways".

יהי רצון שנקיים מצוות ואהבת את ה' אלוקיך ויהא שם שמים מתאהב על ידינו                                                         

*בריות refers to עמי הארץ non שומרי תורה ומצוות

**Some camps have an activity for the children  demonstrating against the Zionist Medina, They carry placards and shout Givald, Shame shame Israel and NATZIM

Solution to the Shidduch Crises!

STOP THE DAVENING - START THE TALKING* by EmailimBaTorah  There are Mosdos asking for donations geared especially to those who are desperate to find Shidduchim for themselves or for their loved ones.  These organizations offer to have Gedolim, Rebbes, Roshei Yeshivos, Rabonim, Kabbalists, etc. travel to Mekomos Hakdoshim and daven for a Zivug on behalf of those who send in money. It is a pathetic way of raising money by taking advantage of people who are in a desperate situation. What's even more pathetic is that it is very likely for such Tefillos not to be accepted by HKBH. If the situation is that for every 120 nineteen-year-old girls there are only 100 twenty-three-year-old boys to go around, it would be pointless to daven that all girls should get married, since there are simply not enough 23-year-old boys to marry all the 19-year-old girls.  This Tefillah would be asking for the impossible and that would be considered a תפילת שוא. Furthermore, davening only for those girls who donate money to the organization doesn't sound right.  For every girl who gets married another boy gets taken off the market. There is a concept in the Gemoro of  תופס לבעל חוב במקום שחב לאחרים -  One cannot grab an item for the benefit of his friend if by doing so another person will lose out.  One may, however, grab it for himself even  במקום שחב לאחרים.  Therefore davening for only a certain group (Donors) and not including the בתוך שאר הנצרכים sounds like a תופס לבעל חוב במקום שחב לאחרים.                        HOW TO SOLVE THE SHIDDUCH CRISIS?   The solution to the shidduch crisis is to narrow the age gap between the boys and girls getting married.  Davening for this to happen on its own is futile; it is incumbent on us to take the measures to make it happen.  The problem is man-made and can be corrected by man בעזהי"ת.  It's up to us;  we can and should change the trend of having such a wide age gap between the genders. Perhaps, the time has come of  מה תצעק אלי-- ויסעו. We must make a move to correct the problem.  We cannot shove the problem under the carpet, nor pretend to solve it with Davening gimmicks. We must first acknowledge the cause of the Shidduch crisis.  Many people aren't aware that the number one cause for the shidduch crisis is the age gap, and if nothing is done to remedy that, then    15%- 20% of the girls will remain Agunos for the rest of their lives.  We must also educate and publicize this to as many people as possible.  It is very important that the naysayers be proven wrong. The only way to narrow the age gap is by facilitating and encouraging the boys to start dating at a younger age.   This can be accomplished if the Roshei Yeshivos are on board and implement policies such as: 1) The American Roshei Yeshivos should not send away their talmidim to Eretz Yisroel at age 20, and not allow them to stick around past that age. 2) The Israeli Roshei Yeshivos should not accept Bachurim over the age of 20. 3) B.M.G. Lakewood Yeshiva should abolish the "freezer" rule. Having the Bachurim go to learn in Eretz Yisroel at an earlier age means they will return to America at an earlier age, thus starting  Shidduchim earlier and thereby narrowing the age gap. These might be drastic measures, but we can all agree that the severe tragedy of having girls never get married, remaining Agunos for the rest of their lives, surely requires drastic measures.  Now is the time of 'עת לעשות וגו If the philanthropists, Gevirim,& Askonim who support the Yeshivos want to seriously commit themselves to solve the Shidduch crisis, they would exert their influence on the Roshei Yeshivos and give them the "motivation" to take these necessary steps and policies to effect change.

El Al stewardess dies after being infected with measles on Flight From New York

A stewardess of Israel’s El Al airline died Tuesday, following a months-long battle with measles.

The 43-year-old stewardess was infected with the measles virus during a flight from New York to Israel five months ago.

After she was infected, the stewardess was hospitalized in serious condition at Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba in central Israel after she was found unconscious and struggling to breathe.

During her hospitalization, the stewardess’ condition deteriorated, and she was transferred to the quarantine section of the hospital’s intensive care wing.

On Tuesday, doctors at Meir hospital declared her death, following the five-month struggle.

Heros in Bnei Brak Rescue Child Left in Hot Car .... Was 92 degrees

Satmar Caves In - Will Teach Secular Studies

If this happened in Israel... 
the Satmar Rabbis would organize "hafganas" and organize protests to tie up traffic for hours .......

But for Satmar Moisdois in NYC there is a double standard!!!!

What?????? DIN?????

What happened exactly ????

As you know the Board of Education is applying tremendous pressure on Yeshivois to implement a secular education...

There is ongoing negotiations with the Board of Education .. with an agency set up by Chareidie Schools called PEARLS, and PEARLS  does all the behind the scenes negotiations...

The BOE has the legal right to pressure Yeshivois , because Yeshivois rake in millions of dollars from Federal and State funds ...
if they didn't, they would be able to teach what they want ,...
once they take the $$$$$$$$$ ... they have to implement the BOE guidelines .....

Satmar mesorah going all the way to the founder of their religion, R' Yoel Teitelbaum z"l was not to teach even secular basics in their holy moisdois .....

Well, it seems that Satmar caved in and will, come September, teach secular subjects ...because they won't give up the mighty $$$$$!!!!!

So what's so bad about secular studies???

Nothing on the surface ...

But they will not only have to teach:
 English ... which is great

Writing .... which is great 

Math, which is great, 

History which is great....

Science ....Not so great, because now they will be introduced to a concept similar to what the  Ramban in Bereishis introduced, stating that the world may be millions of years old ... a no no ... 
(also they are frightened that maybe the kids already learning the Ramban will take a further look in the Ramban in Bamidbar and learn that the Ramban holds that settling in Israel is a Mitzvas Asei Me"doiriiseh, Bizman Hazeh,........ Chas Ve"shalom) 

and now the clincher...

Biology .... uh oh ...... a no no ...
not only will they learn their own anatomy which they learned in the mikvah, but they will now be introduced to their sisters anatomy too ...


Worse .... they will learn that a guy could to decide to become a rebbetzin ,,,, 
and worse still ... that a rebbetzin can become a Rebbe ....

In addition they will learn that boys marry boys, and that girls marry girls...
And boys if they put on a dress can use a girls bathroom ...

This may actually become their favorite subject ...

But there is a positive side to teaching Biology:
 The parents of the innocent Chassan on the day of his Chupa, will no longer need to shock their "tzaddik" into reality, on the happiest day of his life!!

And you can be assured that he will never look at a bird or a bee in the same way!

The truth is that Satmar is contributing to the Mayor of New York's failing Presidential run ......
The Mayor is married to an avowed lesbian and the Mayor is an advocate of killing babies right after they are born...
He is also big into the LGBT communities ...all abhorrent to the Torah lifestyle but apparently not to the Satmar Shitah!


Now if the Zionist State of Israel would have required that the Moisdois implement secular studies in the Yeshivois all hell would have broken loose...
Satmar would be in the front of all protests  setting up protests in front of the United Nations .... condemning the Zionists for "SHMADING" our innocent Jewish children ...
and they would discuss in all their Shalosh Seudah Toirelech this disgusting heresy perpertrated by the Zionists, and spend the entire time until Maariv cursing the Zionists!

But it's ok for Satmar to "Shmad" their own children and to throw away the holy SHIT"ah of Satmar not to bring in foreign subjects in their holy institutions!

All for the holy Dollar...

In Israel 99% of all moisdois are supported by the Zionist State .... 
Yes absolutely .....
but right now all is quiet on the western front,, because the Zionists are far more supportive of Torah than the BOE...as Satmar just learned!!!! 

There were a handful of Satmar renegades that were protesting their own Satmar Rabbis that are capitulating to the mighty $$$$$$$

Watch Nazi Killers Laughing & Celebrating While Jews Are Being Tortured to Death .... "Astonishing"

'The terrorist of Dvir Sorek opened his eyes and saw us standing over him'

Lieutenant Commander S., Commander of the IDF counter-terrorism unit, was on the move with his team as soon as the body of Dvir Sorek was found in Gush Etzion Thursday morning.

S. and his team are "terrorist hunters." They tracked down and eliminated the terrorist who murdered two civilians in a shooting attack at the Barkan Industrial Zone last year, captured the terrorist who carried out attacks at the Assaf and Ofra junctions, and captured the terrorist who stabbed IDF soldier Ron Kokia to death in 2017.

"I can't get Dvir's picture out of my head," the unit commander said in an interview with Yediot Aharonot Sunday morning. "From the moment the body was found I read about him. I wanted to know him. He was an amazing boy until the last moment before his murder."

"[This happened when] he went to buy books for his teachers. The things they said about him touched my heart. It was important to me to know him. When I realized the details of the incident, I knew how much they were taking advantage of the fact that he was alone, an innocent and helpless young man, when they took him by surprise, carried out their plan and fled.

S., 40, a married father of three, lives in the south of the country. "We were all in training, and we were only going to be on alert the next day. But this incident happened quickly. We reached our sector and waited for the exact intelligence of the terrorists. The news came around 3 AM. The identity of the operatives was already known to us."

Around 2:00 AM Saturday morning, the soldiers began to close in on the killers. "There are two destinations, each of which houses a different terrorist. The houses are in the same neighborhood, about 80 meters from each other. I command the entire operation and one specific destination, and the other destination is under the command of my deputy. A moment earlier we receive information from the Shin Bet forces with us that the terrorist and another person are sleeping on the roof."

TISHA BE"OV

FOXES SEEN WALKING NEAR THE WESTERN WALL, FULFILLING BIBLICAL PROMISE

As the Jewish world is counting the days to the ninth of Av (Tisha Be'Av), the date on which Jews mourn the destruction of the two Temples in Jerusalem following its destruction by the Romans, foxes have been spotted walking near the Western Wall, a press release reported on Thursday. 

It is written in the Book of Lamentations (5:18), which is read on Tisha Be'Av, that Mount Zion – where the Temples stood – will be so forgotten that “foxes will walk in it.” 

The understanding according to the Talmud in the tractate Makkot (24b) is that if Uriah's prophecies of destruction are have thus been fulfilled, so will be the ones by Zechariah about the Temple being rebuilt. 

Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the Rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Sites, referred to photos of the foxes and commented, “One cannot refrain from crying at the site of the fulfillment of the prophecy of 'foxes will walk on it.'”

רבן גמליאל ור' אלעזר ור' יהושוע ורבי עקיבא היו מהלכים בדרך [לכיוון ירושלים לאחר חורבן בית המקדש] ושמעו קול המונה של רומי מפלטיא [רעש השוק שעשו הרומאים בירושלים החרבה] בריחוק מאה ועשרים מיל.

התחילו הם בוכים ורבי עקיבא משחק [צוחק]. אמרו לו: "מפני מה אתה משחק?" אמר להם: "מפני מה אתם בוכים?" אמרו לו: "הגוים הללו [הרומאים] שמשתחוים לעצבים ומקטרים לאלילים [עובדים עבודה זרה] יושבים בטח והשקט, ואנו- בית הדום רגלי אלוקינו שרוף באש, ולא נבכה?" אמר להם: "לכך אני משחק- ומה לעוברי רצונו [עובדי העבודה זרה] כך, לעושי רצונו [היהודים] על אחת כמה וכמה!" שוב פעם אחת היו עולים לירושלים, כיון שהגיעו להר הצופים קרעו בגדיהם. כיון שהגיעו להר הבית ראו שועל שיצא מבית קודשי הקודשים, התחילו הם בוכים ורבי עקיבא משחק.

אמרו לו: "מפני מה אתה משחק?" אמר להם: "מפני מה אתם בוכים?" אמרו לו: "מקום שכתוב בו- "והזר הקרב יומת" [במדבר י"ח], עכשיו שועלים הילכו בו, ולא נבכה?" אמר להם: "לכך אני משחק , שנאמר- "ואעידה לי עדים נאמנים את אוריה הכהן ואת זכריהו בן יברכיהו" [ישעיהו ח'] –וכי מה ענין אצל אוריה אצל זכריה, והלא אוריה במקדש ראשון וזכריה במקדש שני? אלא תלה הכתוב [המקרא] נבואתו של זכריה בנבואתו של אוריה. באוריה נאמר: "לכן בגללכם ציון שדה תחרש וירושלים עִיִין תהיה והר הבית לבמות יער" [מיכה ג']. בזכריה נאמר: "עוד ישבו זקנים וזקנות ברחובות ירושלים" [איכה ד']. עד שלא נתקיימה נבואתו של אוריה הייתי מתיירא שלא תתקיים נבואתו של זכריה. עכשיו שנתקימה נבואתו של אוריה, בידוע שנבואתו של זכריה מתקיימת"

ובלשון הזה אמרו לו: 'עקיבא, ניחמתנו! עקיבא! ניחמתנו'"

Frummies back Litzman, after allegations he helped pedophile

The "alleged" Pedophile Leifer and her Savior Yaakov Litzman

Guys ....

What does it take in the frum world, to condemn a  guy that  encourages sexual predators... ??

How many children have to victimized and their lives destroyed until we wake up and throw predators and their protectors out of our communities?

Ultra-Orthodox and right-wing lawmakers threw their support behind Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman Tuesday after police recommended he be indicted for using his office to protect an alleged sex offender and bribe officials to keep a restaurant open despite health concerns.

At the same time, opposition lawmakers offered only mild criticism of the deputy minister, and there were no public calls for him to resign.

Police on Tuesday said Litzman should be indicted on charges of fraud and breach of trust for using his office to illicitly provide assistance to teacher Malka Leifer, who faces 74 charges of sex abuse in Australia.

According to police, Litzman pressured officials in his office to change their psychiatric assessments of alleged sex predator in order to prevent her extradition to Australia.

''It Is Not In Heaven "

B’nai Yisrael forgot three thousand halachot during the mourning period following Moshe’s passing. In light of this loss, B’nai Yisrael said to Yehoshua: 

“Ask for guidance from Heaven, so that you will be able to re-learn all of the forgotten halachot.” 

Yehoshua replied:

“Lo ba’Shamayim hee” (It is not in Heaven [Devarim 30:12].) 

In other words, once the Torah was given at Mount Sinai, it was no longer possible to clarify its intended meaning by means of prophecy or through the Heavenly instruction provided by the urim v’tumim (priestly chest plate). Following Matan Torah, halacha was to be determined, in each generation, through Torah study and interpretation of Torah by the Sages.
