Lakewood: Petirah of HaRav Yaakov Landau..In Toms River: Tragic Petirah of Moshe Zuckerman..Lakewood / Flatbush: Petirah of R’ Aharon Schwartzman

 

Hagaon HaRav Yaakov Landau zt”l, was niftar following a lengthy illness. He was in his mid-70s.

Rav Yaakov was a beloved 9th grade rebbi at Yeshiva Torah Temimah in Brooklyn for many years before eventually moving to Lakewood after nearly three decades at the yeshiva.

In Lakewood, he became the rav of K’hal Chanichei Hayeshivos and opened Mesivta Tiferes Shmuel, where he served as rosh yeshiva to throngs of talmidim who followed his every word.

Over his life, he was marbitz Torah to thousands of talmidim, many of whom have gone into klei kodesh themselves.

Rav Yaakov zt”l is survived by his rebbetzin, Mrs. Esti Landau, his children – Rabbi Chaim Shalom Landau, Rabbi Chezky Landau, Rabbi Moshe Leib Landau, Rabbi Aharon Landau, Rabbi Avrohom Yitzchok Landau, Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Landau, Rabbi Boruch Ber Landau, Rabbi Zalman Landau, Mrs. Elisheva Fuerst – and numerous grandchildren.

R’ Moshe Zuckerman z”l of Toms River was niftar over Shabbos after suffering a sudden stroke last week. He was 54.

R’ Moshe was well known and highly regarded from his work at the takeout section of Seasons supermarket in Lakewood, where he greeted each and every customer with a smile and genuine friendliness.

The levaya is scheduled to take place at 10:30 am at Rabbi Rotberg’s shul, 1871 Old Freehold Road in Toms River. Kevurah will be in Eretz Yisroel.

The family will be sitting shiva at 2119 Orien Road in Toms River.

We regret to inform you of the petirah of R’ Aharon Schwartzman z”l. He was 74.

A renowned talmid chochom and mechutan of HaRav Shlomo Miller shlit”a, R’ Aharon was a close talmid of HaRav Shmuel Berenbaum zt”l, R’ Aharon was sought by many for his breadth of wisdom and deep insight. He was a longtime Flatbush resident who recently relocated to Lakewood. He Davened for decades at the Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn.

The levaya is scheduled to take place at 11 am on Sunday morning at the 7th Street Chapel in Lakewood, 613 Ramsey Avenue. Kevurah will take place in Eretz Yisroel.

Ami Again Features A Rabbi Who has an "awful" Reputation. Read this "Crazed" Interview With Ukraine "Chief Rabbi" Bleich

 

The publisher of Ami Magazine, Yitzy Frankfurter, has a penchant for featuring the worst characters that the Chareidie world has to offer. He praised and lauded Nechamia Weberman, a convicted rapist who is sitting in jail, sentenced to 103 years,  he featured Shlomo Helbrans who headed the Lev Tahor Cult, gave him a 5 page spread trying to convince his readers that he was just another Chassidishe Rebbe. Just three weeks ago he featured Rabbi Zamir Cohen who claimed that the Zionists closed his "kiruv" Yeshiva because they were afraid that he was making chilonie children, frum. Turned out that that his co-ed school was patterned after the goyishe Finnish System and they were not teaching Torah in that school at all, and R' Cohen couldn't explain why the same Zionists had no issues with Chinuch Atamai Schools, Ohr Samaich, Aish Ha'Torah or the Kiruv Schools of Rav Yitzchok David Grossman. In fact the Zionists fund all the schools I just mentioned!

Well this week they hit a new low. Yitzy the Frank, decided to interview the "Chief Rabbi" of Ukraine, Rabbi Yaakov Bleich, who was disbarred from the Conference of European Rabbis (CER) at the request of Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu. This Bleich character has allegations against him that are very similar to the ones of that of the Monster Walder. Harav Eliyashiv z"l had already said years ago that Bleich wasn't fit to be the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine. He was in fact asked to step down by the Rabbi that originally sent him to Kiev. 

When you read that a guy is the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine, where do you think he lives? If you are a person with an average IQ, you would naturally assume that he lives in Ukraine, right? Well not so fast!

BLM Bails Out Shooter of Jewish Mayoral Candidate

 

Man accused of trying to shoot Jewish mayoral candidate released from jail after bond posted by BLM

Bail has been paid for the man accused of attempting to murder mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg on Monday morning. Quintez Brown, 21, was released from the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. 

Brown’s $100,000 cash bond was posted by the Louisville Community Bail Fund, an arm of Black Lives Matter Louisville, around 4 p.m. 

Under the terms of the bond agreement, Brown will be placed on home incarceration. Brown was released to his family, who did not speak with reporters outside of the Hall of Justice. Brown’s $100,000 cash bond was posted by the Louisville Community Bail Fund, an arm of Black Lives Matter Louisville, around 4 p.m. 

Chief Erika Shields of the Louisville Metro Police Department says 911 calls came in about 10:15 on Monday regarding an “active aggressor.” Police cleared the building housing Greenberg’s office, which is near Butchertown Market and the JBS plant. Shots were fired and although Greenberg was not hit directly, a bullet did puncture his sweater. Shields said nobody was hurt. Police arrested Brown about a half mile from Greenberg’s office; according to his arrest report, he was found with a loaded 9mm Glock and multiple magazines, and he was charged with four counts of wanton endangerment and attempted murder. 

A social justice activist, a University of Louisville student, and a potential Louisville Metro Council District 5 candidate, Brown went missing in July 2021; his parents told WAVE he could have been suffering from a mental breakdown.

I"t's Official: Gur Enticing Tens Of Youths To Leave Homes Of Parents Who Joined Rabbi Shaul’s Breakaway Faction

 

Haaretz investigative reporter Aharon Rabinowitz, who exposed Chaim Walder’s actions to the public, claims in a new report that the Gur chasidus is actively working to entice youths to leave the homes of parents who joined the community of Rabbi Shaul Alter.

Rabinowitz received taped messages as well as talking with different members of the chasidus and concluded that the case of the Sandik family, whose two daughters refused to return home when their parents left the chasidus, is not a singular event. At least ten youths both male and female have left their homes with the encouragement of the Gur central committee and hundreds more families have been torn, with parents against children as well as brothers against their own brothers.

Get your Tzeddaka Money Ready ..Four Chareidie Youth Arrested in France for Illegal Smuggling

 

 Four young Israeli citizens were arrested in France, after customs officers discovered 130 kilograms of khat (known as ghat in Israel) in their suitcases. All four are members of the Charedi community.

The group included two 17 year old girls, one of whom was apparently begging her mother to come and rescue her. 

The plant, which has a mild narcotic effect, is permitted in Israel, but in most countries it is prohibited as a drug.

On February 2, four Israelis were detained at Brussels airport after 160 kilograms of khat were found in their luggage.

Last month, two brothers, Israeli yeshiva students, traveled from Israel to France with khat leaves, persuaded by purveyors who assured them that there was no legal problem with the consignment. However French authorities arrested them and placed them in jail.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry frequently publishes warnings to Israeli youth not to be enticed by Israeli distributors of khat.

Many smugglers attempt to use yeshiva students to smuggle khat into other countries, claiming that they will not be arrested if they have citizenship in those countries. They claim that even if the student is caught, he will be returned to his country but will not receive any further sanction. The smugglers promise large sums of money as well as tickets to the yeshiva students, who do not realize the severity of their actions.

Passenger Kicked Off Flight for Wearing ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Mask

 A passenger on an Allegiant Air flight was kicked off because he was wearing a mask on which he wrote ‘Let’s Go Brandon.’

Video of the incident was posted to social media platform TikTok, and shows a flight attendant arguing with the passenger. The attendant tells the man to take his mask off “because of the comment you’ve got written on there.”

The passenger argued that he has a right to freedom of expression, but the flight attendant said he can either remove the mask or be forcibly removed from the plane, claiming that the mask was in violation of “an FAA regulation.”

The man was then thrown off the flight. It isn’t yet known whether he will be taking legal action against Allegiant Air.

Why is no one talking about Iran digging a new unbombable nuke facility?

 

The facility in Natanz is built deep under a massive mountain, making it extremely difficult for the IDF to ever bomb it.

Where the askanim? Where are the "gedoiei  Yisrael?" 
We can never forget the perfidy of R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe, when he ordered his dumb chassidim to write letters to congressman that they should support  Hussain Obama in his disastrous" Iran Deal"

Where is the "capo" Ezra Friedlander hiding out? 

Wouldn't this be an opportunity to lobby against dealing with Iran?

"gedoilim" are busy closing down stores that sell Kosher Phones, instead of ordering a fast day,a day of prayer.

What is going on?

Iran is developing a new nuclear threat that could be a game-changer – and which will continue to proceed regardless of whether there is a nuclear deal or not.

It is a problem that almost no one is talking about, in an area called Natanz where the Mossad allegedly blew up two different nuclear facilities in July 2020 and April 2021 respectively.

The new enormous nuclear threat is a new underground facility Iran is digging and building in the Natanz area which goes so deep under a mountain so large that it will leave the Fordow facility in the dust in terms of how difficult it would be for the IDF to strike it.

CIRCUS: Jurors in Palin Trial Knew Judge Planned to Dismiss Her Claims...

 

Several jurors in Sarah Palin’s defamation case against the New York Times learned before they issued a verdict that the judge planned to reject the former Republican vice-presidential nominee’s claims, though they said it didn’t affect deliberations, according to a court document.

A federal jury in Manhattan found for the Times on Tuesday, determining Ms. Palin didn’t prove her claim that she was libeled by a 2017 editorial about political rhetoric and gun violence.

Bnei-Braker ‘Tinder Swindler’ signs with Hollywood agent, wants his own dating show

 

 

Bnei Brak know as an "Ir shel Torah" is unfortunately in the news for producing on a mass scale a "chillul Hashem" industry.

First Walder, the Sexual Monster, an adulterer and a sexual molestor, and now the Yeshivisher Simon Heyut who changed his name Simon Leiviev so that he can prey and  scam innocent women.

They say crime doesn’t pay but Simon Leviev could soon be swiping right on a vast fortune.

The convicted fraudster — who is the subject of the Netflix documentary “The Tinder Swindler” — is allegedly eager to cash in on his newfound notoriety, setting his sights on Hollywood.

According to TMZ, Leviev, 31, has signed with LA-based manager Gina Rodriguez, who reps a range of reality stars, including Mama June.

The pair have purportedly discussed “a bunch of plans to parlay Leviev’s new Netflix fame into profit and an entertainment career.”

The Post has reached out to Rodriguez for comment.

Snopes the ‘fact checking’ Site Are a Bunch of Liars Covering for DemonRats

 

Snopes.com has shifted its “fact check” on the news that the Biden administration would be offering free crack pipes as part of a $30 million program from “mostly false” to “outdated” — the latest move in a remarkable drive to make the story just go away.

It all started when The Washington Free Beacon broke the news, citing public documents. As meme-makers went wild, social media circled the wagons to try to protect the Biden administration.

Instagram attached a “missing context” label to posts, while Facebook went with “false information” after a ruling from partisan “fact checkers.”

Snopes then stepped in with its “mostly false” judgment, on the basis that the program in question would also give away free needles, etc. (as the Beacon had reported).

But the publicity didn’t stop, so the administration “clarified” that free crack pipes are now off the table.

That cleared the deck for Snopes to switch in “outdated” — while sniffing about the supposed “wave of grossly misleading news coverage” that got Team Biden to shift.

None of which changes the fact that the free crack pipes were real, until actual reporting got the word out. Proving once again that social media and their supposed “independent” fact checkers are just an extension of the Democratic Party.

DemonRats Blame the murder of a Chinese Lady by A Black Man on Trump!

 

A homeless career criminal with three open cases stalks a young woman, forces his way into her Chinatown apartment, stabs her to death — and Democrats blame everything from Donald Trump to the end of child tax credits.

Everything except their anti-cop, soft-on-crime policies that have caused the inevitable breakdown of law and order that led to the gruesome death of Christina Yuna Lee.

Lee’s murder is every woman’s worst nightmare. Her screams brought the police but by the time they managed to break down her reinforced steel door, she was dead in her bathtub, stabbed 40 times.

Surveillance footage shows suspected killer Assamad Nash loitering outside her apartment building when she returned home alone in a cab early Sunday morning, and then coolly pushing open the door behind her before following her upstairs.

He would never have been there that night if Albany lawmakers had not vandalized the bail laws in 2020. He should have been in jail.

Nash reportedly has been arrested seven times since 2017 and has three open cases in Manhattan Criminal Court. He was already out on bail for an alleged subway assault when he was arrested again last month and charged with 27 counts of criminal mischief, attempted escape, and resisting arrest — crimes that have been decriminalized by Alvin Bragg, our new progressive Manhattan DA.

You would think that Democratic women would show some empathy about Lee’s tragedy.

But all White House press secretary Jen Psaki could do this week when asked about the rise in anti-Asian hate crime (up 339% nationwide last year) was fall back on her favorite scapegoat, ex-President Trump.

Cellular Phone Store Owners Describe Their Ordeals At Knesset Committee

 

I guess the storekeepers cannot get help from the "Gedoilim" who are on the payroll pf the Chareidie Mafia Gangsters!

Owners of cellphone stores from many chareidi districts in Israel came to the Knesset’s Internal Affairs committee to describe the harassment and violence they are experiencing from elements in the community.

The owner of the Didi Phone store in Bnei Brak, who has suffered from repeated harassment and raucous demonstrations outside his store, described the threats he had received from the self-styled “Rabbinic Committee For Kosher Communications” which demands that he authorize his phones under their auspices.

A member of the committee told him: “Listen, you see me dressed like this but three times I became non-religious and then did Teshuva. There is nobody who doesn’t know me and I have connections with the biggest criminals (citing a name of a well-known crime boss)- you better beware of me and listen to what I tell you to do.”

The owner said that he had feared for his life and complained to police, who were shocked that this particular criminal was involved. The owner stressed that he does not sell non-kosher phones and himself has a kosher phone. He only sells phones with SMS, cameras and players to those who require them but does not sell phones with internet access. Despite this, he was harassed for not accepting the kashrus committee’s authority.

Another store owner from Geula said that he had received threats and that the window of his store had been broken because he refused to purchase phones from the committee. He said that “I can’t sleep at night.”

Every single American should be outraged!

Majority of Democrats Wants Hillary Investigated

 

A full 66% of Democrats want to see Hillary Clinton investigated for any role she might have had in trying to manufacture former President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia in an attempt to smear him, according to a new poll by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP). 

The figure marks a 20-point increase from last October, when TIPP asked the same question about Clinton. The most recent court documents reveal that special counsel John Durham’s investigation is ready to prove that the Clinton campaign and another individual identified as “Tech Executive 1” tried to infiltrate computer servers at Trump Tower and a Trump-owned apartment building in New York. 

The team also tried to get into servers at the White House once Trump took office to try to get data that would create the impression that Trump had nefarious ties to Russia in an effort to deflect attention from Hillary Clinton’s missing email scandal during the 2016 campaign. Here are how the poll results, as detailed by the New York Post:

91% of Republicans called for Clinton to be investigated.

65% of independents said they want Clinton investigated.

71% of Republicans and an equal number of Democrats, said it is important that Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, be kept away from any business involving the administration.

46% of Americans say the media has done a fair to poor job covering Joe Biden and allegations of influence-peddling by members of his family.

The poll, conducted in January, surveyed 1,308 Americans. No margin of error was given.

The “Holocaust by Bullets” in Ukraine .... Let the Russians Invade

 

Based on present-day borders, one in every four Jewish victims of the Holocaust was murdered in Ukraine. 

In the history of the Holocaust, the summer and fall of 1941 are especially significant because they represent a period of critical escalation. In a matter of months mobile Nazi killing units, which had begun shooting all adult male Jews during the invasion of the Soviet Union, expanded to include a genocide targeting women, children, and entire Jewish communities.

On January 20, 1942, top Nazi officials and representatives of the Reich authorities met in Wannsee, a suburb outside of Berlin. At this meeting, chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, the Reich Security Main Office formed the extermination plans for the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” The Wannsee Conference, as it is now called, led to the creation of a network of extermination camps designed to systematically murder the entire European Jewish population.

Before the killing centers opened at Birkenau, Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, and Majdanek, more than 1.5 million Jews had already been murdered by the Germans, their Axis allies, and local collaborators in Ukraine, Belarus, and other USSR republics. These were the first victims of the Holocaust. 

They were not transported by trains to the famous killing sites in Poland, with their gas chambers and crematoria that typically characterize the Holocaust in the minds of most people. Instead, these Holocaust victims were taken from their homes, usually by foot, to the outskirts of the cities, towns, and villages where they lived and were brutally shot—face to face or in the back—often in the presence of local residents and non-Jewish neighbors.

The mass shooting of Jewish victims in the summer and fall of 1941 represents the first phase of the Holocaust, often referred to by historians as “the Holocaust by bullets.” It was during this initial phase that special German killing squads (Einsatzkommandos) coordinated the mass murder of Jews by bullets with the help of the SS, Wehrmacht troops, the Romanian military, special “operational squadrons,” order police units, and local collaborators.

Nazi Extermination Policy on the Eve of Barbarossa

Before World War II, the 1.5 million Jews living in the Soviet republic of Ukraine constituted the largest Jewish population within the Soviet Union, and one of the largest Jewish populations in Europe. Between 1939 and 1941, when Stalin occupied Galicia, western Volhynia, northern Bukovina, and southern Bessarabia (see map below), the number of Jews in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic (UkrSSR) rose to 2.45 million people, increasing the percentage of Jews from five to six percent.

Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook – A True Gadol

 

by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed

As we approach the fortieth anniversary of the passing of Moreinu ve’Rabbeinu Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda HaKohen Kook zt”l (14 Adar 5742 [1982] - this year the 15th of February) ), it is incumbent upon us to remember the illuminating figure of the Torah leader who was privileged to continue the path of his illustrious father and expound, clarify, and strengthen the base of the doctrine of ha’Torah ha’go’elet (the Redeeming Torah). As a result, the value of Torah study among the National-Religious public was elevated to the point where tens and hundreds of yeshivas, mechinot, midrashot, ulpanot, for men and women, arose due to his direct influence and that of his disciples.

Rav Tzvi Yehuda zt"l turned the National-Religious public into an influential and central factor in Israeli society, and even altered the map of Eretz Yisrael in the expansion of settlement to Judea, Samaria, and the Golan Heights.

Moreinu ve’Rabbeinu Rav Tzvi Yehuda HaKohen Kook was born on Seder night 5651 (1891) to his father Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, who served at that time as rabbi in Zoimel. When he was thirteen, his family immigrated to Eretz Yisrael, and his father was appointed Rabbi of Jaffa and the Moshavot. Afterwards, Rav Tzvi Yehuda ascended to Jerusalem, and studied at the Torat Chaim Yeshiva.

From his early childhood, Rav Tzvi Yehuda grew up in the light of his illustrious father. Even when he studied and heard from other rabbis, his father was still his rabo ha’muvhak (primary teacher) in the full sense of the word. A Heavenly plan brought Rabbi Kook and his son Rav Tzvi Yehuda to Europe at the outbreak of World War I. They could not return to Israel, and consequently, remained in Switzerland for almost two years. During this period, Rav Tzvi Yehuda merited studying in a chevruta with his father. He later said that at that time, they managed to study “the entire Torah, twice.

This week I heard from Jerusalem Rabbi Isser Klonsky shlita, in a talk he gave at our yeshiva, a beautiful definition: Maran HaRav Kook illuminated Orot (spiritual lights, and the title of his seminal works), and Rav Tzvi Yehuda paved paths to Orot. In other words, Maran HaRav devoted himself to writing Torah works, and Rav Tzvi Yehuda devoted himself to educating people.

Divorcee Permitted By Tel Aviv Beis Din To Marry Cohen After Former Husband Declares He Is LGBTQ

 

A woman who divorced and met a new acquaintance but was prevented from marrying him because he was a kohein. However in an unusual step, Rabbi Zevadia Cohen, a senior dayan in the Tel Aviv Rabbinical Court, ruled that the woman’s previous marriage was null and void because her former husband had hidden from her that he was a homosexual. The “Noam Danieli” organization representing the woman declared that “the rabbinate is sensitive to the needs of couples- within the bounds of halacha.”

The Tel Aviv Rabbinical Court accepted the woman’s claim that if she had known of her husband’s homosexual inclination, she would never have married him – and ruled that her agreement to marriage was meaningless and the marriage was a “Mekach Taus”, a mistaken transaction. Dayan Cohen said in his ruling that he would not have accepted such a claim in order to permit a married woman to marry someone else but since the woman had already received her divorce, the concept of Mekach Taus can be used to enable her to marry a Kohen.

The founder of the Noam Danieli organization, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Rani, said that “many couples who were about to obtain a civil marriage came to us and received a friendly solution which enabled them to willingly choose to marry in the rabbinate.” He warned that “attempts to force the rabbinate to issue leniencies by force of law “would lead to the opposite conclusion.”

The Noam Danieli organization’s goal is to help couples who wish to marry according to Jewish law to deal with the relevant religious authorities. The organization is funded by Motti Danieli in memory of his daughter (who died seven years ago today in a road accident.)
