A Whole New Definition of Shabbos Goy.. “Jewish Voice for Peace” Invites Anti-Semite Ilhan Omar for Shabbat
Louis Farrakhan, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler must have called in sick.
Jewish Voice for Peace, a far-left organization that claims to promote peace through grassroots organizing, education, advocacy and media, but in reality just embraces whatever radical-left flavor of the month it is, has invited Ilhan Omar for a “virtual Shabbat.”
Perhaps the virtual Shabbat will have virtual cholent, virtual divrei torah, and virtual zemiros. One can hope.
Putting aside the oxymoronic “virtual Shabbat” aspect of this, the utter insanity of inviting a Somali Muslim who has time and again aligned herself with anti-Semites, dictators and murderers, is mind blowing, even for a radical left organization.
Sometimes when you think you’ve seen everything, something or someone comes along and says, “hold my beer.” And that’s what this Shabbat with a terrorist sympathizer is all about.

Hundreds Of Grown Men Protest 8 year old Child in Bet Shemesh
Bet Shemesh is a very large community and has many sections or neighborhoods. One of the areas Bet Shemesh "bet" is the area that the extremists live.
A couple of years ago, Mr. Gulgovnitz, a chassidishe developer decided to build a few buildings in that area.
He knew that the "Asra Kadishe" are a bunch of Mafia gangsters, who would not allow him to build unless he paid them first, and so he bypassed them and brought Rav Moshe Shternbuch, the Raavad of the Eida Hachreidis to examine the area and see if that area was clean of Jewish bones. Rav Shternbuch spent many days there and gave the ok.
The Asra Kadishe went bonkers and began a massive campaign against their very own leader, a hate campaign that even reached Monsey and Williamsburg. and they claimed falsely that the area where the Gulgovnitz Projects were being built was right on top of an ancient Jewish cemetery, with absolutely nothing to back up their claims.
Gulgovnitz ignored the savages and continued to build and completed the entire project in a matter of months, hiring Arab Guards to haul away the extremists when they chose to disrupt the construction.
In other words the extremists met their match in Gulgovnitz.
Gulgovnitz had the entire buildings occupied with eager buyers within weeks after completion.
The extremists would from to time protest in front of the buildings and harass their own people that decided to live there.
Seeing that they couldn't accomplish anything, the extremists decided on a new tactic .... harassing the grandchildren and great grandchildren that live in Bet Shemesh.
They found out that a great grandchild of Rav Shternbuch was studying in a shul in Bet Shemesh, so they went last night and surrounded the building and shouted like a bunch of poisoned monkeys to try to extract the 8 year old child that had no idea what was going on.
The extremists didn't send children to the building, but sent grown adults, fathers of children themselves, to scare and intimidate a child.
Where are the wives of these savages? Why aren't they telling their husbands who do nothing all day, to get a life..?
UPDATED
More adult protests against another grandchild of Rav Shternbuch this morning, and police had to be called
Israeli Couple Held In Turkey On” Espionage” Charges Return To Israel
After joint efforts with Turkey, Mordi and Natali Oknin were released from Turkish prison and landed in Israel on Thursday morning.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid thanked the President of Turkey and his government for their cooperation.
They also expressed their respect to the Oknin family for their strength during this complicated time and for their cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Additionally, they conveyed special thanks to President Herzog for his efforts to help bring them home.
The couple was arrested on Friday for photographing the palace of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with Turkish prosecutors telling a judge that they suspect them of espionage.
During a tour of the country, they innocently photographed Erdogan’s palace and sent the photos to their family’s Whatsapp group with the caption: “What a nice home.” But prosecutors accused them of photographing the palace’s cameras and security checkpoints and claimed that they highlighted those features and sent them to a third party.
On Wednesday, Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu had said that that prosecutors will accuse the Oknins of military-political espionage.
The Oknins are both Egged bus drivers and regularly appear in Egged marketing videos and ads.
On Tuesday, Mossad head Dovid Barnea spoke with his Turkish counterpart to confirm that the Oknins are innocent civilians.
Prime Minister Bennett and Foreign Minister Lapid on Thursday morning spoke with Shiraz, the daughter of Natali Oknin, and with Eran, Natali’s brother, who were waiting for Mordy and Natali Oknin at the airport.
Following is an excerpt of Prime Minister Bennett’s remarks in the conversation:
“Shiraz, good morning. It is wonderful to speak with you again. You see? I told you that we are doing everything, and indeed we did everything. You were a wonderful partner. The family’s restraint was very critical in these days.
Give little Ofek a hug for me. Mom and Dad are on their way home.
I hope that you will now have calmer days. I am happy that they are returning to you.”
Foreign Minister Lapid: “Shiraz, Eran, and the entire family, you are amazing. I am very excited with you. We were with you all week. We promised that we would do everything to bring them back to you and now, they are on their way home. Give them a big hug for us.”

Chaim Walder suspended from Israeli Charedi media outlets
A popular haredi author in Israel has been suspended by several media outlets, following accusations of sexual abuse.
Chaim Walder, author of dozens of books including the popular “Kids Speak: Children Talk About Themselves” series, was recently accused of sexual abuse by three young women, including two who were minors at the time of the alleged attacks, Ha’aretz reported recently.
After a prominent Brooklyn bookstore announced that it would no longer carry Walder’s books, two haredi media outlets in Israel both suspended Walder.
The Yated Ne’eman newspaper on Wednesday halted publication of Walder’s column, while the Radio Kol Hai station has suspended Walder from his regular radio show.
Walder has denied the allegations, with his attorneys – Micky Hova and Guy Shamer – telling Ha’aretz: “Our client has denied and is disgusted by any accusations of misconduct on his part, especially what has been claimed in the report.”
“These allegations are outrageous falsehoods based on total lies and amount to complete and utter libel.”
Walder’s lawyers said that the accusations stem from the author and educator’s work to help children who had suffered from abuse.
“As a result of this, a group of individuals came together with the goal of hurting him, and we have evidence of part of their attempts to implicate our client.”
Furthermore, Walder’s attorneys claimed that the author had undergone polygraph tests which indicated he was not lying.
Fresh Blueberries No Longer Need Extensive Washing and Checking
The Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc) has announced a change in its Fruit and Vegetable Policy regarding the cleaning of fresh blueberries.
In recent weeks, the cRc has seen a significant decrease in insect infestation of blueberries. Accordingly, blueberries no longer need an extensive washing and checking process. All that is required is a rinsing under a strong stream of water.
The exception would be for organic blueberries that would still require washing with soap and checking via a thrip cloth.
This policy is in effect until April 1, 2022.

Prosecution’s star witness in Kyle Rittenhouse case is a career criminal but had charges DROPPED just six days before trial began
Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in August 2020, and appeared as the prosecution’s star witness last week
DailyMail.com has learned Grosskreutz is a violent career criminal with a laundry list of prior offenses and convictions stretching back more than a decade
These include domestic abuse, prowling, trespass, two DUIs, felony burglary and two charges of carrying a firearm while intoxicated
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger was well aware of this when he paraded Grosskreutz as a paragon of selfless virtue in front of the jury
Less than ten days before he was shot by Rittenhouse, Grosskreutz was arrested and charged with prowling when he was caught videotaping cops’ personal cars
But the Rittenhouse jury heard none of this because just six days before he took the stand, Grosskreutz’s DUI charge was dismissed on a technicality
Had Grosskreutz’s latest DUI charge not been dismissed, Rittenhouse’s defense would have been allowed to question him under oath about the offense
Restraining Order Issued Against Gerer School Which Suspended Children Of Rav Shaul’s Followers
The Supreme Court of New York State issued a restraining order in favor of the parents of children from the Bais Yaakov D’Chassidei Gur whose children were suspended from the school after their fathers attended the tish of Rabbi Shaul Alter in Brooklyn last week. The temporary restraining order, which is in effect for the next month, requires the school to refrain from:
- Suspending or expelling girls from Bais Yaakov D’Chassidei Gur
because of their religious practices; - Sequestering girls to a segregated room because of her religious practices;
- Harassing the infant plaintiff because of her religious practices.
- Taking any action against the infant plaintiff because of her religious practices.
Moreover, the restraining order “is conditioned and shall remain in effect so long as the girls follow all the rules of Bais Yaakov D’Chassidei Gur and refrain from disparaging Rabbi Yaakov Alter.”
The order also requires the school to explain within the next month why there would be grounds for suspending, sequestering or harassing girls because of their religious practices.
About 100 children were suspended from attending the school after their fathers went to the tish of Rabbi Shaul Alter despite a directive from the rebbe, Rabbi Yaakov, not to attend any functions of Rabbi Shaul.
Eichler’s Pull Chaim Walder Books From Shelves After Allegations Surface
In a tweet published Tuesday afternoon, Eichler’s owner Mordy Getz announced that the popular Judaica chain will no longer be selling books by Chaim Walder.
The announcement comes after allegations surfaced against the author of the wildly popular Kids Speak series, which were widely reported on in the Israeli media.
“The decision was not made lightly,” Getz wrote, adding that the decision was made in spite of the fact that this will undoubtedly cause a heavy financial lost for Eichler’s.
“Given that the access to alleged victims was largely by way of the author’s books and work, we believe that this decision is an essential step in protecting our children and building a safer, healthier community,” the announcement continues.
What The Nazi Just Wrote To His Jewish Classmate From 1934?
Elyakim Haetzni, a 95-year-old resident of Kiryat Arba, received a letter on Monday from Friedrich, who was his classmate in 1934 in Kiel, Germany.
Friedrich now lives in the United States but his heart and mind is apparently still in Nazi Germany, as evident from his letter.
Elyakim’s son, Boaz Haetzni, wrote about the incident on Facebook: “It’s always nice to get regards from a classmate, especially from 1934. My father, Elyakim Haetzni – whose name in German is Georg – received a letter today. The following is a translation of the letter:
“‘Georg, I’m very pleased that you’re still alive after 95 years. Wonderful. Sieg Heil (a victory salute used originally by Nazis at political rallies) from [the city of] Kiel.'”
“And written on the other side: ‘Hebron is Palestine. Juden Reuss (Jews out). Signed Friedrich.‘”
“According to the stamps on the letter, the elderly Nazi Friedrich lives in the United States and it’s still important enough for him to spread his perverse Nazi hatred and combine it with today’s Nazi hatred, the most modern and effective anti-Semitic tool – the Palestinian bluff,” Haetzni concluded.

Don't Drink the Kool-Aid ..For Real
Kraft Heinz is recalling batches of some Kool-Aid mix “due to the potential presence of foreign material, specifically very small pieces of metal or glass,” according to an alert issued by retailer Costco.
Costco issued the alert to customers who appear to have bought packages of 82.5oz Kool-Aid Tropical Punch Mix with “Best When Used By” dates of Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
The metal and glass shards may have been accidentally mixed into the product during the manufacturing process, according to another notice issued by Stater Bros, a grocery store chain in Southern California.
“The company discovered the issue during an internal review at the manufacturing facility,” Stater Bros said.
“There have been no consumer complaints and no reports of illness or injury related to this issue to date.”
Kraft Heinz did not immediately return The Post’s request for comment.
