Birthright to bring 19,000 young adults to Israel this summer
About 14,000 Birthright Israel participants from nearly 900 universities and colleges in North America are expected to land in Israel in the coming months, as part of Birthright’s 2022 Summer season. The flights, which begin on May 1st mark Birthright Israel’s long-awaited return after a series of suspensions since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Birthright expects to bring about 19,000 young adults from North America during this summer.
Birthright Campus Trips are a unique opportunity for North American students to go on a life-changing trip to Israel with their college friends and meet new people from their campus. The trips are usually timed to coincide with the school’s winter or summer breaks.
Colleges with the largest number of Birthright Campus Trip participants include University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (585 students); University of Florida (506 students); and University of Wisconsin – Madison (424 students).
After a long hiatus, we are excited to bring back so many students from North America to these important and exciting tours to Israel. Many of these students are coming from college and university campuses where incidences of anti-Semitism are increasing, leaving them feeling beleaguered and isolated,” said Birthright Israel CEO Gidi Mark. “We know that after going on a Birthright trip, these students feel more confident,“ he added.
Zachary Lech, 20, a Harvard student studying government, will travel to Israel on an upcoming campus trip. Having grown up in a small town, Lech said that he had not experienced being part of “a vibrant Jewish community” before arriving at Harvard. He hopes to further his Jewish involvement through Birthright. “I went on a short trip to Israel when I was 10, but this is my first time really seeing the country. I'm beyond excited to join the amazing people I've met here at Harvard on a trip to Israel to see for myself what Jewish life can really look like, and to explore my culture,” he said.
Michelle Zangari of Rockville Center Doesn't Want Frum Jews in her Neighborhood "Look what happened in the 5 Towns"
At a recent town meeting in Rockville Center, a village right near the Five Towns, a local resident gets up and asks the board to amend the local laws to prevent Jews from opening Shuls in houses.
The woman describes how she grew up in the Five Towns, and laments how Jews moved in and opened Shuls. She describes in dark tones how the local real estate market jumped as a result, causing many of the non-Jewish residents to grab the opportunity to sell, eventually causing the neighborhood demographics to change.
Finally, she gravely warns the board how like the Five Towns, Rockville Center “can be next.”
Shudders can practically be felt throughout the room as she speaks.
When she finishes, the board says that they have received similar complaints, and will immediately look into what can be done.

Filthy Comments from our own FRUM YIDDEN after the murder of Jews in Israel
Anonymous
For just about a century, the Zionist State of Israel (and pre-State) has been the most dangerous place for Jews since soon after the Zionists invaded.
The Zionists had their dirty paws in the Holocaust, too. Read Min haMeitzar and others.
There’s plenty more to say but ask your LOR.
LOL.
The Zionist betrayal of Jews during the Holocaust, when the Zionists claimed to be their protectors, is also in Perfidy, and in many scholarly works.
The Zionists stated openly that one cow in Palestine was worth more than all the Jews of Europe and that they were interested in saving only Zionist material, not the old and infirm whom the Zionists considered “like dust”.
They also said that Zionism is above all else, including saving Jewish lives.
Stop bowing to your Zionist idol.
We, unfortunately, had the distinct misfortune of having the Zionists before WW II, without whom there would not have been the Holocaust that our people underwent during WW II.

Your idol doesn’t allow you to consider anything other than it, though.
Maybe he held that it was better to stay and die then to join filthy zionists and c”v get influenced by their idiotic ideology
That would be the Zionists who had all doors to Jews closed after instigating Hitler with their “boycott in the name of world Jewry” which did nothing other than infuriate that savage Nazi leader.
Too bad that during WW II the Zionists lobbied governments against allowing Jews to go to their country, as the Zionist preference was exactly that: better that the unneeded Jews become ash than be allowed in to another country.
And you know that MOST people who went up to Israel in the 1920’s almost ALL of their grandchildren look and behave like real Goyim no Torah no nothing.
There are Millions of Jews in Israel who became secular living a life as full fledge Goyim thanks to the Zionist ideology.
So your grandfather is probably a lucky person that his grandkids are Torah observant Jews.
3 FrumJews wounded in Lakewood stabbing, ramming attack
An Orthodox Jewish man was stabbed in an apparent antisemitic attack in Lakewood, New Jersey on Friday.
The alleged assailant assaulted a man, stole his car and ran him over with it, stabbed a man in the chest, and finally ran over a third person.
All three victims were Orthodox Jews.
The stabbing victim was hospitalized in critical but stable condition at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
The attacker has been arrested and charged with three counts of bias intimidation, three counts of attempted murder, carjacking, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon.
New Jersey Governor. Phil Murphy praised police and law enforcement officials for arresting the attacker.
"Tammy and I pray for the full recovery of all victims," tweeted Murphy. "The safety of our communities, and notably our communities of faith, is not only a paramount concern but among my highest priorities. We will continue to partner with all who share this commitment so no resident ever needs to live in fear."
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) responded to the attack by stating that it "is saddened and outraged by a series of attacks that occurred in Lakewood and Jackson, NJ on Friday, April 8, which culminated in the stabbing of an Orthodox Jewish man, and appreciates law enforcement’s quick apprehension of the suspect.
After a series of attempted carjackings, the suspect is alleged to have carjacked a vehicle and hit one person with the car. He then hit another person and got out of the car to stab the victim, who was taken to the hospital and is in critical condition. The suspect was arrested last night and is said to have made antisemitic remarks upon arrest. This incident is being investigated by the Lakewood PD, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, and the FBI."
“We are grateful to federal and local law enforcement for their swift response in apprehending the suspect and bringing charges that include bias intimidation,” said Scott Richman, ADL NY/NJ Regional Director. “I am personally horrified at the cruelty with which the suspect allegedly conducted himself. More needs to be done proactively to prevent violence against the Jewish community, and in particular visibly identifiable Jews in Ocean County and across our region. We recommit ourselves and our organization to working with government, educational institutions, interfaith and intergroup partners and law enforcement in order to achieve this goal. Jews should not be afraid to freely go about their business without living in fear that they will be targeted for violence. The past few years have seen far too many assaults against Jews.”

MK threatens Bennett: Accept these 3 demands or government falls
MK Nir Orbach of the Yamina party has threatened to follow the example of Idit Silman and leave the government if three demands are not met.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to support harming the Jewish character of the State of Israel and the Jewish people,” Silman, the former coalition whip and Yamina MK, said when she caught Prime Minister Naftali Bennett — and the country — by surprise in her unexpected announcement.
The move critically wounded the shaky coalition, which had only 61 MKs in the 120-seat Knesset and is now tied with the opposition. If just one MK follows suit, the government will fall.
On Thursday, Orbach issued his ultimatum, demanding the government backtrack on its plan to cancel daycare subsidies for yeshiva students; the convening of the planning commission to approve building plans for 4,000 new homes in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria; and connecting Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria to Israel’s electricity grid.
“Without a solution to these issues, I will not be able to remain in the coalition,” Orbach said in a statement.
During a faction meeting held Wednesday, he attacked Bennett for using the phrase “West Bank” last week when referring to the region of Judea and Samaria in conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Although Silman didn’t bring up that point when she defected, many in the right-wing camp, including in Bennett’s right-wing party, were furious, with some expressing hope that the government would fall.
“Such an expression is another deterioration of the government’s values,” said Yigal Dilmoni, director-general of the Yesha Council, an umbrella organization for councils and organizations from Judea and Samaria — which Bennett once headed.
“It is added to the freeze of construction [in Judea and Samaria] and the turning of its back on the Israeli communities. Such a government must go home,” Dilmoni demanded.
