Nechumi Yaffe Pioneering Chasidic Woman "Terrified" to Return To Israel As Tenure-Track Professor

In early 2020, when Nechumi Yaffe becomes a tenure-track professor at Tel Aviv University, she will be perhaps the first chasidic woman to achieve such a position — and not just at Tel Aviv, but at any university.

After spending two years in the United States, as a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University’s Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Economics, the Haifa native will move back to Israel. Not only will she be reaching the next stage in a relatively late, fast-moving career, she will also be risking scrutiny and rejection from members of her own community.

“I am scared of going back,” she said quietly during an interview earlier this year at a local ice cream shop in Borough Park, Brooklyn. “I am terrified.” She worries about the old neighborhood where she grew up and worries her family there may be made too uncomfortable to stay. Her three children have grown up knowing their mother is different — to the degree that they know to avoid sharing the details of their mother’s job. But they only partially understand the gravity of the challenges their family likely will face.

Black "Klavta" accused of assaulting 3 Jewish women arrested again DAY after release

A Brooklyn miscreant accused of slapping three Orthodox Jewish women last week struck again on Sunday and was busted for assaulting another woman.

A day after she was released without bail on charges stemming from the Friday attack, Tiffany Harris was charged with assault for slugging a 35-year-old in the face on Eastern Parkway near Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights at about 9:15 a.m., according to police.

It’s unclear if Sunday’s victim is Jewish — and police weren’t treating the incident as a hate crime. The victim suffered swelling and bruising to her right eye from the pummeling, police said.

On Friday, Harris allegedly assaulted three Orthodox women on Eastern Parkway near Kingston Avenue — one of at least eight anti-Semitic incidents in the city last week.

“Yes, I slapped them. I cursed them out. I said ‘F-U, Jews,” Harris admitted to cops after that attack, according to a criminal complaint.

The two assaults occurred about a mile away from each other.

Reform Rabbis Pass A Resolution Supporting Reparations to Blacks As Jews Are Being Stabbed by Them

Leftist self-hating Jews passed an idiotic resolution supporting reparations to American Blacks...

All blacks alive today living in the US never served as slaves to anyone. 
Not one white person alive today owns or owned a black slave .......
Yet, these Jew haters who are themselves "Jews" are prepared to give Jewish money to these barbarians.....
While the Jewish blood of their brothers and sisters are being spilled on the streets .... they pass this resolution.....

Despicable: Black attacks on Jews are rooted in Democrats' coddling of anti-Semites

Once-tolerant New York City is becoming a haven for anti-Semitic, Jew-hating attacks, getting to be like Paris, eventually driving Jewish flight based on the surge of unpunished violence in the leftist-run city.

It's shocking, not only because the number of unprovoked attacks on Jewish people just minding their own business and going about their daily lives are very numerous -- nine at last count within about a week -- but because within the violence itself is a tissue of lies, explicit and implicit, from silky enablers to conceal and euphemize what's really happening.  

In every case, the victim was Jewish and the attacker was black. That's a politically incorrect to the press and its leftist allies, but it's true.

 no matter how many experienced fighter’s or armed are present ....

I am not blaming anyone ... people are in shock but we had better prepare for this ..... 


Yosef Eli Glick, who saved many lives during the stabbing attack by fighting off the attacker, gives his eyewitness account of the incident.

Glick said he grabbed a small coffee table that was sitting near the door, and through it at the man.

Glick kept screaming to everyone else, “run away, run away, he’s coming!”

Glick says the man looked at him and said, “Hey you, I’ll get you!”

Litzman the "Sexual Abuser Enabler" Appointed Health Minister ... Australia Jews Furious!

Fury in Australian community over Litzman ministerial appointment

In the Jewish community in Australia, Yaakov Litzman is seen as the single individual most responsible for the endless procrastination in Malka Leifer's extradition proceedings, condemning his appointment as Health Minister.

The Jewish community in Australia is furious over the Israeli government's decision to appoint MK Yakov Litzman (UTJ) Health Minister in place of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu

The Zionist Federation of Australia condemned the appointment, calling it a "slap in the face."

Police believe that Litzman, who served as Deputy Health Minister prior to his appointment as Health Minister, illegally involved himself in the legal processes concerning Malka Leifer, a 52-tear-old Australian educator accused of sexually abusing her students.

Leifer is currently in Israel, despite the fact that Australia's government has repeatedly asked for her extradition. 

Litzman is suspected of using his influence in the Health Ministry to secure a psychiatric assessment of Leifer which would find her unfit for extradition, thereby preventing it.

In August, Israel Police recommended indicting Litzman on charges of offering bribes, fraud, and breach of trust in two separate cases.

Motti Klein 37 Prominent Belzer Chassid Dies Suddenly

A prominent Belzer hassid, philanthropist Motti Klein who owned the restaurant chain "Motis," died suddenly on Saturday at age 37.

Klein, a resident of Bnei Brak, was in the Kiryat Belz neighborhood of Jerusalem for "Shabbat Hanukkah" (the Sabbath that falls out on Hanukkah, which is often spent with relatives - ed). Shortly after Shabbat began, he collapsed and was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

He underwent tests at the hospital and was released after Shabbat. He returned to his family and then collapsed again on Saturday night and passed away.

Friends described him as a tremendous philanthropist who donated his money to needy families.

"He was welcoming to anyone who came in contact with him, assisted with any request for help, even when he was going through difficult times," one of his friends said.

He is survived by three small children.

The funeral procession took place Saturday night, and left from his home in Bnei Brak.

Artist Peter Max allegedly siphoned over $4M from elderly "Cousin Lou"

Famed pop artist Peter Max and his wife Mary — who committed suicide in June — allegedly siphoned $4.6 million in cash from their dementia-riddled relative, “Cousin Lou,” according to court papers. 

They used much of the cash to splurge on bling, including a Cartier bracelet, earrings and a ring collectively worth $1.485 million; $1.3 million in jewelry from Bhagat; a Verdura ring costing $58,500; and $47,000 Van Cleef & Arpels earrings, among dozens of other pricey purchases, according to Lou’s daughter, who is seeking to recoup the cash.

Ricki Reisner said her dad, Louis Gottlieb, was so ill in the years before his January 2015 death at age 90 he didn’t realize the Maxes were taking advantage of him — sometimes writing more than one hefty check to them a day, she says in a Manhattan Supreme Court claim. 

Gottlieb ran a successful construction business before moving into money management, carefully investing the bulk of his cash in bonds for years.

Suspects arrested in last week’s spree of eight anti-Semitic attacks are being quickly released right back into the neighborhoods they terrorized thanks to “bail reform” legislation — which doesn’t even take effect until Jan. 1.

The most recent case of revolving-door justice came Saturday morning, with the release, with no bail, of a woman charged with punching and cursing at three Orthodox women, ages 22, 26 and 31, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn at dawn the day before.

The accused assailant, Tiffany Harris, was hauled in handcuffs before a Brooklyn judge on 21 menacing, harassment and attempted assault charges.

“F-U, Jews!” Harris, 30, of Flatbush, allegedly shouted during the attack.

“Yes, I was there,” Harris later admitted to cops, according to the criminal complaint against her.

“Yes, I slapped them. I cursed them out. I said ‘F-U, Jews.”

Aviatar Azarzar, an 18-year-old Former Chareidie Who Went Missing Found Shot to Death

Aviatar Azarzar, an 18-year-old who went missing a couple of weeks ago, was found on Friday, dead with bullet wounds across his chest, in the civilian cemetery in Ramat Hasharon.

Azarzar left his family and moved to live alone in Bnei Brak three years prior. The circumstances of his murder are still unclear, but he is believed to have been brought there in an exercise titled "Little Red Riding Hood" and there, he was murdered.

The bullet wounds on his chest raise suspicion that this was a criminal incident. He was found lying down, unconscious, in a pit several meters into an open field near the cemetery.

Medics who were called to the cemetery pronounced him dead.

The police have been looking for Azarzar for two weeks. A ZAKA volunteer was passing through the cemetery on his tractor when he found a motorcycle thrown on the side of the path. When he neared it, he noticed the body. He understood that this is the missing person that the police have been looking for and immediately reported that he believes he found Azarzar.

Police opened an investigation immediately into the circumstances of his murder. They are additionally investigating the identity of the motorcycle owner.

Nazi-Era Snapshots and the Banality of Evil

A collection of photos reveals the everyday existence of the Third Reich.

No Lakotas in the picture. (All photos courtesy of Daniel Lenchner's collection)

“Do you know about the Lakota Indians?” 

asked Daniel Lenchner, handing me a slightly faded photograph from the early 20th century. 

It was a class portrait with a location printed at the bottom: Lakota, North Dakota.

“Now,” challenged Lenchner, “can you find an Indian in this picture?”

I scanned the rows of Caucasian faces.

“Not going to happen,” he continued. “We got rid of them, you know. No more Lakotas in Lakota. It looks like a class portrait, but you could also say that this is a picture of genocide.”

That theme of implicit absence dominates Lenchner’s found-photograph collection. Scouring flea markets, estate sales and the internet, Lenchner has collected over 500 snapshots of Nazis taken by Nazis that document their daily lives: their families, their friendships and their leisure activities.  

As a Jewish man with ancestors who perished in the Holocaust, these intimate glimpses into the daily lives of his family’s persecutors bring him face to face with what political philosopher Hannah Arendt called “the banality of evil”.
