"Corona Hotels Are Destroying Chareidie Hashkafa" ... Israeli Yeted Nèman

As you all know and hear that the RBS"O sent this deadly virus so that we could reflect on our way of life and maybe try to improve our Middos and Torah Hashkafois and to learn that Hashem controls the world and that we have absolutely no power or say about anything....in a way it's comforting to know that ..

But the virus unfortunately brought out the worst in us ...

And I'll give you an example ....

In Israel the government ruled that all Yeshivah Boys that are in dormitories would first have to go  to one of the "Corona Hotels" to quarantine for two weeks.. 

So Chareidie Boys, Chassidishe Boys and "Mizrachi (Dati)" Boys were all quarantined in the same hotels......

An amazing thing happened .....

Sit tight guys because you are going to freak out when you hear what happened ....

Chareidie and Chassidishe boys found the Dati contingent in Bais Medrish were all  learning all day  with geshmak... 

They learned that they had been fed lies about the Dati way of life ... they learned that their Roshei Yeshivas and Chassidishe Rebbes were a bunch of liars ... they learned that their parents fooled them into thinking that Mizrachists are all "bar hopping" and all are "club goers" ....

Boy... did their eyes open up when they realised themselves and saw with their very own eyes that while they were hanging out smoking and schmoozing in the hallways, their counterparts... the "Dati Mizrachists" were all in Bais Medrish "shteiging away"

So when the Chareidim came out of quarantine and went home for Shabbos and related to their parents what they witnessed ....the parents threw a Sh__ fit.... but didn't know what to do...

To make matters worse, the Chareidie and Chassidishe boys began to write to the press about what they saw and went to the Chareidie radio station to actually talk and allowed themselves to be interviewed... they flooded all weekly newsletters ..and hundreds of letters were published this weekend ..

Here is just one example of one of the letters..this one was sent to "Matzav Ruach" a weekly Dati newsletter ..

Loose translation:

The night of the 4th of Shvat, תשפ"א in the 

Corona Hotel, Dan Panarama, Yerushalyim

To my brothers, children of my nation, and all faithful peaceful Jews who find themselves anywhere in Eretz Yisrael.

I am ashamed and embarrassed. (that I witnessed) Yeshiva Bochrim, some from the finest respected Yeshivos, waking up and coming late to minyan, to Bais Medrish, and to shiurim and behaving like children running out of school.

In contrast, I saw the "mizrachistics" involved in Torah learning from morning till midnight in deep Torah discussions and pilpul.

I met boys from those we call "Chardalim" .... I saw how these "mizrachistim" that we were taught to mock and to disparage,  that they were the ones that filled the desolate Bais Medrish ... learning and debating the ideas of R' Shimon Skop, R' Chaim Brisker...learning the Kzos Ha'choishin the Nesivois hamishpat ... building ideas and slowly anaylizing them just like us

We sat together learning Bava Metzia, R' Chaim Kemiiseh, heilach... and were "shteigen away...

The surprise is humongous!

We found brothers that we never knew existed. Great and dear Brothers who care only about Torah and to make the Name of Hashem great... 

all this without our (chassidishe and yeshivishe) garb, without our "pure hashkafah" and after all this ...they find time to join the army and then return to their Torah studies.

I am now confused and depressed. Is this spiritual "shmad?"

Boys that sit and learn from morning till night, who are stringent in all areas of Halacha ... .... are these the boys that our rabbis are afraid of?

How is it that I grew up being thought that there is only one way to be a ben Torah?

Suddenly, we learn that that there are other ways of being a ben Torah, no less than us ... only in different dress.

How was this hidden from us?

We were told that the "mizrachistin" with kipa seruga and strange sandals don't know how to learn...

We were told that their way is not how to grow in Torah... that they care only about Eretz Yisrael..and that we are only the ones that care about Torah! 

The lied to us ... the facts are different!

I found new brothers .. yes their hashkafa maybe different than mine..but all us really care about Shem Shamayim and to make the Name of Hashem great..and that is really what's important"

Signed ע"ה

one of boys here in Yerushlayim in the Corona Hotel

Now for the punch line....

The Chareide press could no longer ignore this as the press was widely reporting this and showing live videos of Dati Boys learning together with Chareidim... 

Chareidie boys were identifying themselves on radio with relentless stories of how they were duped .... and so

They freaked out and started to write against this .... worrying that if  this would get any more publicity the whole entire world would  see that they are all liars, fakes and frauds... 

Just wondering  ...Why is it that the "Dati" world isn't afraid of the Chassidishe and Yeshivisheh hashkafah? HMMMMMMM??

Well below is the response from the Israeli Yated!

Loose Translation:

"In reference to the Corona Hotels, it became clear to us that there is a lot of spiritual  obstacles there... specifically those hotels designated for Yeshivah Boys.

The atmosphere over there is not fitting for Bnei Torah that looking to grow in Torah and Fear of G-d.

All this is separate from the negative spiritual influences over there...(and this is not the place to discuss at length) especially to the elementary school children ....

These hotels are spiritually dangerous! "

So "this is not the place to discuss at length" .... so where and when is the place to discuss this?

I know... and I'm not a fly on their wall.... the time to discuss this is when all the Charedie leaders can get together to ban "Corona Hotels" before this dreadful secret gets out! ...

Mizrachistin and Yeshivishe Boys Together in Dining Room 

The genie is out of the bottle and there is no way to get it back in folks!

R Tuvia Weiss Calls On Satmar To Fight the Police Who Are Trying to Enforce Covid Rules

 

Police sent to enforce Covid rules descended on the Satmar Bais Hemedresh on Rechov Yoel in Meah Shearim this morning.

As the Satmar "Covid Rule Breakers" noticed the police coming  they closed all doors to the Shul and police decided not to break down the doors.

However, outside riots broke out with the Satmar "tzaddikim" throwing eggs at the ones trying to save their lives from the deadly disease. 

Satmar "kedarkam be'koidesh" don't care about rules, and believe that Corona is something that the Zionists totally made up ....and so even though they see the Chèvre Kadisha pulling out the dead by the hundreds in Meah Shearim they continue to spread death and disease to the rest of the Jewish people...and then wonder why they are despised! 

Meanwhile R' Tuvia Weiss the Gaavad of the Eida Hachareids asked that all kollim stop learning and to come out and fight the police!

Joe Biden’s far-left ‘unity’ will divide us

 

The joke survives the test of time and, under the circumstances, deserves repeating. As the late journalist Mickey Carroll told it, a suburban town with a population 90 percent Irish and 10 percent Jewish held a mayoral election involving two candidates — one Irish and one Jewish. 

The Irish candidate won with — wouldn’t you know it? — 90 percent of the vote. Whereupon he immediately denounced the clannishness of the Jews!

The story offers a useful way to view Joe Biden’s calls for national unity. Let’s just say our president is as sincere as the fictional Irish mayor.

Biden won the right to pursue the leftist agenda he campaigned on. But his promise that he will also work for the Americans who didn’t vote for him is more fig leaf than honest invitation. 

As John Mitchell famously said about Richard Nixon’s White House, “Watch what we do, not what we say.”

Applying that standard to Biden, we should ignore the unity talk because everything he has done leans far left.

Again, he’s entitled — elections have consequences. But knitting together a fractured America around a far-left agenda was never going to work. And Biden knows it.

In fact, his actions suggest the “Kumbaya” appeal is not directed at Trump voters or even the public in general. 

It’s really a disguised call to the factions in his own party to stick together, to give him a chance. I’ll keep you all happy, he’s saying, just watch. 

Biden kept Dems together during the campaign because everyone wanted to dump Trump.

Now that he’s won, he’s got to find other ways to keep the fault lines from widening. Early signs show he believes he can straddle the divide by staffing his administration with establishment veterans and party warhorses while giving the passionate far left early policy victories.

Biden ignoring all the signs that Iran can’t be bribed out of its murderous ways

 

President Biden is eager to reengage with Iran and return to the nuclear deal. Yet the murderous regime has no interest in changing its ways. It is boosting its nuclear-weapon development and its network of deadly militias across the Middle East in its continued drive for hegemony. 

Biden said during the campaign he’d rejoin the nuclear deal “as a starting point for follow-on negotiations” if “Iran returns to strict compliance,” working “to strengthen and extend the nuclear deal’s provisions, while also addressing other issues of concern,” such as Iran’s ballistic-missile program, human-rights abuses and “destabilizing activity.” 

That was always naïve, and Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, confirmed it Friday: “There cannot be any renegotiations,” he wrote in Foreign Affairs. “Iran’s defense and regional policies were not up for discussion,” since the West won’t withdraw from the region and stop selling arms to its allies. 

Zarif proudly declared, “Iran has significantly increased its nuclear capabilities,” and indeed, the International Atomic Energy Agency revealed this month in a confidential report that Iran took a crucial step in December, starting an assembly line to make uranium metal, a key nuclear-weapon component prohibited by the nuclear deal. France, Germany and Britain jointly warned of the “grave military implications,” noting that the metal “has no credible civilian use.”

Chassidim Continue to Antagonise the Goyim ..Three Montreal Shuls Raided By Police Over Shabbos For Ignoring COVID Guidelines

 

Police shut down at least three shuls in Outremont, Montreal on Friday night and Shabbos morning that were open in defiance of COVID enforcement.

Police said they were assaulted while trying to shut down one of the locations on Friday night.

Video footage from Friday night shows a large crowd screaming at police. Shouts of Nazi! can be heard as children are seen running from the building.

One person can be heard yelling “Jews Lives Matter”!

Officers took the names of people present at the scenes and will submit reports to Quebec’s office of criminal prosecutions, which will decide whether to pursue further penalties.

On Motzei Shabbos, Quebec’s Hasidic Jewish council made a public call asking all community members to follow public health guidelines after the incidents which have since been published on many Canadian news outlets.

“It is with regret that the Council of Hasidic Jews of Quebec has learned that certain members of the community have not respected the public health guideline limiting the number of people in a religious institution to 10,” the council said in a statement Saturday night.

While the Council of Hasidic Jews is denouncing any illegal gatherings that took place, the organization is also accusing the SPVM of not properly enforcing the law. At least one of the establishments in question has three separate entrances into three separate closed off spaces, the council said, allowing them to safely accommodate 10 people each.

“This misunderstanding of the regulations by police authorities adds to the confusion,” the council said in its statement.

"Cruel" Biden Stops Trump Order To Slash Price Of Insulin, EpiPen ...Biden in Bed with Pharmaceuticals

 President Joe Biden’s United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday stopped executive orders from his predecessor designed to significantly lower prescription drug prices for Americans, including insulin and epinephrine.

The new administration will apparently re-evaluate the executive action from President Donald Trump toward the end of March. It remains unclear if it will be reinstated.

“The HHS Thursday froze the former Trump administration’s December drug policy that requires community health centers to pass on all their insulin and epinephrine discount savings to patients,” Bloomberg Law reported Thursday. “Centers that don’t pass on the savings wouldn’t qualify for federal grants.”

“This freeze is part of the Biden administration’s large-scale effort announced this week that will scrutinize the Trump administration’s health policies,” the report noted. “If the previous administration’s policies raise ‘fact, law, or policy’ concerns, the Biden HHS will delay them and consult with the Office of Management and Budget about other actions.”

The Palestinian Plan to Dupe the Biden Administration ...Written by a Muslim

There is one reason, and one reason only, why Abbas is now talking about holding general elections: to continue milking the cash cow he has in the form of American and European governments. 

By Bassam Tawil, The Gatestone Institute a Muslim Arab,

One week after he entered the 17th year of his four-year term in office, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas finally announced new parliamentary and presidential elections, scheduled to take place in May and July 2021.

His announcement was carefully timed to coincide with the inauguration week of President Joe Biden and in response to immense pressure from the European Union.

Abbas’s announcement, which many Palestinians take as seriously as they would take the alleged sighting of a UFO, is part of an attempt to curry favor with the Biden administration and the EU.

There is only one word to describe Abbas’s announcement: deception.

Palestinian Authority Threatens to Sue US Ambassador for Recognizing City of David’s Judeo-Christian Values

The threat comes on the heels of a ceremony during which Ambassador David Friedman said that the site was a testament to America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

By JNS

The Palestinian Authority is threatening to sue outgoing U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman in international courts for recognizing the City of David as a testament to America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and founding principles, Palestinian affairs expert Khaled Abu Toameh tweeted this week.

The announcement by the PA came on the heels of a special ceremony held earlier this week the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem to commend the archaeological site for the “seminal role it plays in connecting its visitors to the origins of the values that helped shape America.”

During the ceremony, in which Friedman dedicated a plaque in the City of David’s honor, the ambassador said, “In modern America, we are inspired by many monuments that remind us of the history of our republic. I’ve often wondered what monuments inspired our Founding Fathers. When the drafters of the Declaration of Independence proclaimed that our Creator had endowed each and every American with certain unalienable rights, what monuments inspired them? I suggest that those monuments are located right here, in the ancient city of Jerusalem.”

Friedman also said that he hoped that the plaque would prompt all those who read it to think of the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was founded and “how those values were inspired by ancient Jerusalem and its inhabitants.”

This is not the first time that the PA has threatened to file a complaint against Friedman in international courts. In June 2019, Al Jazeera reported that the ambassador angered the PA Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in comments he made to The New York Times about the U.S. peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians.

In his interview with the Times, Friedman said, “Under certain circumstances, I think Israel has the right to retain some, but unlikely all, of the West Bank.”

It’s time to stop counting Jews in Biden's Cabinet

 

Jewish Democrats are celebrating this week and with good reason. Their party took back power in Washington and end the presidency of the man they all love to hate: President Donald Trump. 

But adding a certain frisson of pride to their touchdown dances is the number of Cabinet members, and other officials and personalities, within the new First and Second families who are Jewish.

It’s an impressive tally. Social media is awash with posts with lists of the Jewish cabinet secretaries and undersecretaries, as well as the Jewish connections of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. When placed in the broad sweep of the nation’s history, it’s an important statement about the acceptance and the accomplishments of American Jewry. A century ago or even for several decades afterward, such a number would have been inconceivable.

But it’s 2021, not 1921. Having Jews in positions of great influence is no longer such a big deal; in fact, it’s quite commonplace.

Biden Sets Record for Killing Jobs .....Kills Up to 70,000 Jobs on First Day in Office

President Joe Biden’s first day in office may have been historic in more ways than one: he may have set a single-day record for the number of jobs killed by an American president.

Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, as promised. In so doing, he killed some 11,000 direct jobs that the pipeline’s construction was to have created, and an estimated 60,000 indirect jobs in secondary, related industries.

Over 1,000 workers already on the job — mostly union workers — will be laid off as a result of the decision, even if it is litigated, as many expect it will be, in the courts.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) confronted Secretary of Transportation nominee Pete Buttigieg over the Keystone XL decision on Thursday morning, during Buttigieg’s confirmation hearing. If the administration was serious about infrastructure, Cruz asked, why was it killing an infrastructure project with “good, paying union jobs”?

Hail to the Thief

 

By Daniel Greenfield

 

On a cold, windy day with a small group of spectators watching from behind barbed wire,

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. swore another in a long series of false oaths before his motorcade passed between a long row of soldiers with their backs to him looking outward for threats.

No inauguration has been this empty in a century of American history. And at no inauguration have the spectators been outnumbered by a raw display of armed force. American presidents have been inaugurated in wartime and during actual national emergencies with a better turnout.

Through world wars and wars on terror, Washington D.C. has remained a national capital where the hundreds of millions of taxpayers who labor to pay for its grand edifices, free museums, and lavish lifestyles could briefly come to enjoy a little of the life lived by the ruling class in the Imperial City. Now the ruling class has made it clear that it doesn’t want peasants entering D.C.

Even as Biden’s team prepped the executive orders that would end the national emergency at the border and shut down construction of the wall, new walls topped by razor wire were rising across the imperial city. The new Fortress of Government sealed off two miles of the National Mall and parts of downtown D.C. and filled it with more soldiers than are deployed in Iraq.

Larry Gordon Editor-in-chief of the Five Towns Jewish Times Answers the Distorted Reporting of the Jerusalem Post & JTA News

 Last week, I was the news, and it was a fascinating experience.

For over 40 years I have been the one asking the questions, analyzing stories, profiling personalities, and so on. Then last week there was a freeze-frame moment when the front page of this newspaper was flashed on websites around the world with the dishonest angle being propagated that the 5TJT or I was in favor of or advocating violence at the U.S. Capitol protest. The idea was constantly repeated that since the person in the photo had her arms spread and was smiling, we must be endorsing the wanton, violent, and murderous attack.

I had to decide whether I was going to speak with reporters or just not return their calls or respond to their texts and e-mails. I decided fairly quickly that I did not want them saying that I was unavailable or refused to comment, because I certainly have a lot to say about the matter and how they were determined to spin it.

By the end of the week I gave interviews to two reporters—Shira Hanau of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Jeremy Ben Shalom of The Jerusalem Post. At the outset I asked one thing of them, and that was not to misquote me and not to distort what I say so that the story can be more sensational and therefore more attractive to editors and readers.

In the end they both failed. Apparently, they just could not resist being cagey and deceptive about what I said. And they were not the only ones to do that. Both wanted to know what I was thinking when I decided to use that photo and, even more strangely, they wanted to know at what time on that Wednesday afternoon was I thinking it.

Chareidim Continue to Disregard Rules ... 400-person Jewish wedding in Stamford Hill broken up by police

Site of mass Haredi wedding in London: A school whose principal died of COVID

Rabbi Avrohom Pinter died in April at the age of 71. When the British government ordered a lockdown that month to slow the spread of coronavirus, Pinter went door-to-door in northeast London to deliver the public health warning to the ultra-Orthodox Jews in his community. Within days, he had caught the disease and died.

Rabbi Pinter 

 On Thursday, London Police broke up a Jewish wedding party in north London. According to police sources, about 400 people were taking part in the event.

According to a report by BBC, the police found the windows at the Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls' School, in Stamford Hill covered when they arrived at the scene and the guests fled when the officers arrived.

"We had no knowledge that the wedding was taking place", a spokesman of the school said in response to the report, "We are absolutely horrified about last night's event and condemn it in the strongest possible terms."

Chief Rabbi of the UK, Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, responded to the incident and wrote: "This is a most shameful desecration of all that we hold dear. At a time when we are all making such great sacrifices, it amounts to a brazen abrogation of the responsibility to protect life & such illegal behaviour is abhorred by the overwhelming majority of the Jewish community".

BBC reports that the organizers face a £10,000 fine for breaking lockdown rules.

No, Twitter did not suspend Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader

On Friday, reports surfaced that Twitter had appeared to suspend an account belonging to Iran’s vehemently anti-Israel supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

But @khamenei_site wasn’t the authoritarian leader’s real account.

The reason for the suspension was that the account had tweeted a photo calling for “revenge” against former President Donald Trump. Along with a photo showing Trump golfing beneath the shadow of a military airplane, the tweet read “Revenge is inevitable. Soleimani’s killer and the man who gave the orders must face vengeance.”

As president, Trump ordered the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the senior Iranian general who commanded a force that had supported terrorist groups across the Middle East.

But Twitter said it suspended the account because it was fake, Reuters reported. Khamenei’s main account, with more than 880,000 followers, was still active.

Twitter told The Associated Press that it had suspended the fake account for violating the platform’s “abusive behavior policy” as well as its “manipulation and spam policy.”

Officials in Israel and the United States have drawn attention to Khamenei’s active account as debates over moderation on Twitter have escalated, and particularly as the platform has restricted and then suspended Trump’s account for inciting violence.

At a hearing last year in the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, an Israeli activist asked why a Khamenei tweet calling for Israel’s elimination was allowed, given that a label had been appended to tweets by Trump. A Twitter official responded that “foreign policy saber-rattling on military and economic issues are generally not in violation of Twitter rules.”

Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s press secretary, said the statement spoke to Twitter’s “overwhelming, blinding bias against conservatives and against this president.”

Washington Post Erases Story of Kamala Laughing at the Thought of a Prisoner Begging for a Drink of Water

The Washington Post scrubbed an unflattering anecdote of  Vice President Kamala Harris crassly laughing at the thought of a prisoner begging for a drink of water — then backtracked Friday after an eagle-eyed reporter took notice.

Harris made the comments in a July 2019 Washington Post profile about her relationship with her sister and trusted aide, Maya Harris, when the former California prosecutor was running for president.

But that story disappeared from the site — with its link redirecting to a newer version published on Jan. 11, sans anecdote.

In the opening of the 2019 piece, Harris described her grueling schedule on the campaign trail — and the respite she got from SoulCycle sessions and walks on the beach with her husband.

“It’s a treat that a prisoner gets when they ask for, ‘A morsel of food please,’” Harris told Washington Post reporter Ben Terris, who described the then-presidential candidate as “shoving her hands forward as if clutching a metal plate, her voice now trembling like an old British man locked in a Dickensian jail cell.”

“‘And water! I just want wahtahhh….'” Harris continued. “Your standards really go out the f—ing window.”

Terris noted, “Kamala burst into laughter.”

The link to the original story rerouted to the newer version published this month — a nearly identical version without the unflattering Harris prison anecdote.

The updated version instead has a more general opening about past politicians turning to family members as their closest advisors.

Harvey Zeiger aka Larry King dead at 87 From Covid

 

Larry King, America’s most iconic interviewer, who smooched Marlon Brando on-air and even conducted Mideast peace talks during his eponymous CNN show, has died, his official Twitter account announced Saturday morning.

The former CNN interviewer died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

King, 87, a multiple cancer survivor, had contracted coronavirus earlier this year, but it was not reported as a cause of death. In recent days he had appeared to be recovering, and was moved out of the ICU and breathing on his own.

“For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media Larry’s many thousands of interview awards and global acclaim, stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster,” read a statement from Ora Media, his most recent employer.

“Larry always viewed his interview subjects as the true stars of his programs.”

Though he most recently worked for Ora TV, an on-demand digital television network he founded with Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim in 2012, King was most famous for his television show “Larry King Live” which he hosted on CNN from 1985 to 2010.

“Larry King was a giant of broadcasting and a master of the TV celebrity/statesman-woman interview,” said former colleague Christiane Amanpour. “His name is synonymous with CNN and he was vital to the network’s ascent.”
