"Bail Reform" Will Allow A Criminal to Access Your Address!

Bail Reform in New York is more than just releasing anyone charged with certain crimes, regardless of their prior criminal history and even if the judge thinks the defendant is a threat to the public.

Under the new law, if you report a crime, the criminal defendant is entitled to find out your name, address and phone number.

So let's say you see a man beating someone up and call 911.
The person charged will receive your name, address and phone number.

The law went into effect today!

The "Heimishe Yidden"  that voted for  Governor Cuomo, should know that he signed this into law ...

Pope Francis is "Shomer Negiah"

When I was growing up .. a fat lady or a fat guy indicated wealth ...

They claim that these classes have brought "bad influence" into the community ....

"Chinush" or Skinny is out ... Fatsos are back in  ..

Satmar Ahroinie Civil War in Bnei Brak Continues .... with physical Fist fights ....on Chanukah ... Zionist Police Had to Break It Up !

R' Katz and R,Meisels in Better Times

So here is the story as I know it .... For many years the Rav of the Ahroinie Shul in Bnei Brak was Rabbi Eliyahu Katz ..... He also served as the "Head"of the Yeshivah... Notice I wrote "Head" When he died it was natural to appoint his son R' Avraham Shlomo Katz as the Rav.... Problem...... R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Monroe threw a wrench into the mix and appointed his nephew R' Chaim Tzvi Meisels as Rosh Yeshivah of the Satmar Yeshivah of Bnei Brak .... in effect taking away one of jobs of R' Katz... The problem..... In Satmar circles there is no such thing as "Rosh Yeshivah" "Rosh Yeshivah" is a term used primarily in the Litvishe circles, where practically everyone that wears a long frock with two buttons in the back is a Rosh Yeshivah.... You can find even 10 Roshei Yeshivah in any given Litvishe Yeshivah ... in fact in some Litvishe Yeshivois even a third grade Rebbe is called a Rosh Yeshiva..... Finally the devoted talmidim of Rav Meisels had enough with this phony Litvishe "Rosh Yeshivah" business and took out a page from the Satmar "alter heim" pagebook and started to beat the crap out of the R' Katz followers and even physically threw out R' Katz from the Satmar Bais Medrish on one occasion ....(there are videos of this)... The Satmar Rebbe from Monroe tried stopping the family feud, trying his best to avoid a civil war in his own camp .... and he actually managed to quiet things down for awhile.... Well last night on the holy night of "Zos Chanukah" while the fires of the menorah were flickering towards the heavens, down here on earth, the Meisel Camp in the spirit of Chanukah took up his fight like the Chashmonoim  and a fist fight erupted and of course they called the Zionists to break it up!... The Katz Camp called this a"pogrom" ...see the poster below... Meanwhile in the Yeshivah this morning, R' Meisels according to the Kikar Shabbos Blog, begged his "Maccabees" not to use physical force to fight on his behalf ... **Kindly Support Our Blog by Browsing the Ads.

Rabbi Sholom Dovber Levy dies on flight from Israel after attending granddaughter's wedding

A French Jewish man died on a flight from Israel to France, as he was returning home after attending his granddaughter’s wedding.

Rabbi Sholom Dovber Levy, a member of the Chabad movement and a resident of Strasbourg, France, was flying back home to France Monday when he died suddenly onboard the flight.

The 66-year-old fell asleep on the flight, and shortly before the plane landed in Frankfurt, Levy’s wife tried to wake him up. Levy, who apparently died in his sleep, was declared dead shortly thereafter.

Levy was a survivor of a stabbing attack three years ago, when a Muslim man brandishing a knife screamed “Allahu Akhbar” and stabbed Levy in the stomach. 

The assailant targeted Levy because he was identifiable as a Jew.

Levy will be laid to rest in Beit Shemesh Tuesday. He is survived by his wife, Helene Levy, and the couple’s 12 children.

Woman Wakes Up From 7 Month Coma After Family Told To ‘Pull The Plug’

Never give up hope..... as long as their is life ...there is hope!

An Ohio woman was in a coma for seven months due to a mysterious illness — but her and her mother’s fight for her survival led to a second chance at life.

Kertisha Brabson, 31, of Alliance fell into a coma in September 2018 after her mother noticed she was acting funny.

“Something has taken over and ruining my daughter,” Kertease Williams told CBS affiliate WBNS. “I just don’t know what.”

At the hospital, Kertisha was doing strange things like reaching out for things that were not there, talking out of her head and dancing as if she was at a concert. Then a seizure put Kertisha in a coma that would last seven months.

Kertisha was diagnosed with Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, a disease where the body fights its own brain cells.

The doctors “told me she was brain-dead and pull the plug and all those things,” said Kertease Williams, who said she was determined to save her daughter, who has two small children of her own.

Chassidim Send an Incoherent "Spokesman" To Address Anti-Semitism With State Officials in Monsey

This Gestetner character may have good intentions and may even have great ideas for the Chareidie Community but in this video, he is a total embarrassment as a "spokesman" to the Chassidishe community!

Who put him there to speak???
The guy cannot form two coherent sentences in a row.......

It starts out ok ...but .056 into the video everything goes south!

Watching him blabber, I cringed as if someone was trying to shlep a metal chair on a tile floor!

I tried in vain to decipher what he was "ploppling" about ...

very hard to understand his childish ranting ...

Tells State officials that pandering to the community is "pareve" ..... "not meat nor dairy" ...

Is this guy insane?

He did have a point ..... but if you never sat in a Chassidishe yeshivah you wouldn't have a clue to what the hell he was talking about .... a bunch of double talk and gibberish...

First he tells them not "to show up to Jewish events, but to sit home" and then he questions "why they don't post the photos to their social media." 

At one point he mocks them for showing up at Chabad Menorah lighting  suggesting, albeit discretely, that Chabad aren't really Chassidim... and they should know better that when they do show up at "Menorah Lightnings" that they, meaning Chabad,  are really not the Chassidishe community.

So Chabad is not part of the Chasidishe community? 
There are no Chabadnikers living in Monsey.... ?

So he is not representing them?
Even if he believes that to be true.... why tell it to a bunch of goyim...anti-Semites?

Can't we find one Chassidishe guy that can speak a decent English?

We finally have an opportunity to address this dangerous issue and they send out a 5 year-old child masquerading as an adult!

Crazy stuff!

Question Why Did Rabbi Rottenberg Continue With the Melava Malka & What Did He say??

This was a tragedy beyond anyone's imagination.... 

And I certainly do not want to rain on anyone's parade.....

 I personally know the one in very critical condition ...

I know I will get a lot of flack for this....

But I want to know seriously .... from my readers that go to these "tishen" .....

Was this appropriate?

Was the dancing and singing while one of the participant's life was dangling on a thread, the correct thing to do?

Would it have been such a tragedy ... if the Rebbe, may he live and be well till 120 years, would have taken out a tehillim ????

Would it have been a tragedy for the rebbe to go immediately to the hospital and visit the guy who was so viciously stabbed??

His own children were rushed to the hospital ......

I'm asking ..... not criticizing .....

which father continues singing and clapping while his children are in the emergency room?

And his talk at the Melava Malka........ 

The good Rebbe  is bringing a "Shlah Ha'Kodash" to justify his singing and clapping while a guy is being operated on??? 

What?????

Do chassidim in general, dance and clap when their rebbe is deathly ill? Or do they congregate to say Tehillim together?

I am asking this with the utmost respect ....

Another question....

Why was he thanking the Governor ... why???

Didn't the governor just sign into law allowing felons "No bail?"

And opening the prison gates? ...

This would have been a great moment to tell the Governor that his leftist policies are bringing ruin to this once great city!

 People want answers to these simple questions....

If anyone out there has a reasonable explanation, I would love to hear it ....

Tweeting the Talmud

With some 20,000 bursts of Talmudic wisdom over the past seven years, @TweetTheDaf has become one of most popular Daf-focused Twitter accounts.

When he began his second round of learning Daf Yomi in the summer of 2012, Ben-Zion Radinsky decided he was going to do it differently this time. Besides keeping up with the learning itself, he was going to hold himself more accountable and review the material more often. And he would finally begin recording all of the fascinating nuggets from the Gemara he saw so many others whiz past.

But the Woodmere, New York, resident realized he would need a system with which to tackle these goals. Soon enough he came upon a modern-day solution: Twitter.

Through publicly telegraphing his daily learning and observations from the Daf on the relatively new and rapidly growing social media platform, Radinsky would be able to keep his learning on track while also sharing insights with other Daf enthusiasts. 

Thus began the @TweetTheDaf account.

The "BS" Spin Has Begun as Black Stabber's Leftist Jewish Lawyer Says He Has History of Mental Problems

So now the Black "cholyereh" got himself a Jewish Lawyer and the "Bull Crap Spin" will now start in full throttle! 

They are trying to tell us that the Black Perp drove for hours looking to stab only Jews ... has "mental issues" 
Why do people with "mental issues" stab Jews? Hmmm?
Why don't they hug and kiss them?Why are they only into violence?????

Who is this Michael Sussman anyway ???

A Radical Leftist who ran for Attorney General of NY on the Green party 

Now a report from the FBI:

He kept an anti-Semitic journal and googled “Why did Hitler hate the Jews” the same month as the attack, prosecutors said Monday in a hate crimes complaint.

The journal, found at Thomas’s home in Greenwood Lake, included questions like “why ppl mourned for anti-Semitism when there is Semitic genocide” and references to “Adolf Hitler” and “Nazi culture” on the same page as drawings of a Star of David and swastika, prosecutors said.

Thomas searched “German Jewish temples near me,” “Zionist temples in Elizabeth NJ” and “Prominent companies founded by Jews in America” in the weeks leading up to the Saturday attack, according to the criminal complaint.

Jews have to stand up and say they that we will not accept this BS ...

The family of Greenwood Lake resident Grafton Thomas, the man accused of injuring five Hasidic Jews in a machete attack at a Hanukkah party in Monsey Saturday evening issued a statement at 10:10 p.m. Sunday on his behalf through their newly selected lawyer 

Michael Sussman.

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.
