7 Ministers, 15 MKs, Thousands of Jews in Monday’s Evyatar March ..Sticking Their Thumbs in the eyes of the Far-Left!

 

Many rabbis, seven government ministers––including Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben Gvir, Orit Struck, Michael Malchiali, Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Amichai Eliyahu, and May Golan––and fifteen Knesset members already confirmed their participation in the Evyatar march on Monday, April 10, in Samaria. 

While the left is engaged in trying to prevent the march, Shomron Regional Council is preparing for the arrival of thousands of participants, and an online campaign has been launched, asking people who plan to arrive to take selfies with the caption,

 “I’m also going to the Evyatar March.”

The march will started at noon on Monday, the fourth day of Chol Hamoed Pesach, at the Tapuach junction, and proceed in the direction of Evyatar.

The organizers expect more than 10,000 marchers. The course (see below) is stroller-friendly, which should encourage families with infants and small children to attend. The 2 km course should be covered in 25 minutes of a moderate walk.

Several right-wing politicians participated in a video produced by the Nachala movement, calling on the supporters of the settlement enterprise to come to the march at noon on Monday.

Labor Chairperson MK Merav Michaeli tweeted: “Seven ministers will participate in the march to an illegal outpost tomorrow. Anarchists from within the government. Instead of letting the security system prepare to prevent the next attack, it now has to deal with securing this irresponsible convoy. There has never been a government as willing to endanger Israel’s security as this government. Everything should be done to send them home.”

Naturally, Michaeli had nothing to say about the burden on the same security forces that’s been exerted by 14 straight weeks of protests that included shutting down main traffic arteries and twice even an international airport. Also, Evyatar is not technically illegal. Based on the deal struck between the residents of Evyatar and the Bennett government, this outpost is ready to become legal after a survey verified that it is sitting on state land and not privately owned by any Arab. Also, the march is approved by the IDF and absolutely legal, unlike, say, hundreds of protesters who invade a major artery like the Ayalon Highway and suspend traffic for hours at a cost of billions to the country’s economy.

Software engineer Noam Davidi responded: “The government dictates policy. The government’s policy is to legalize the outpost, which is why they’re marching. They decide and do. You do not decide and interfere with the process. … as to you… you lost the election. Better stay silent.”

And, also naturally, as is the case each time Michaeli takes to Twitter, her post was soon saturated with calls for her resignation, since she was responsible for the demise of the left and the disappearance of Meretz in last November’s elections.

Needless to say, Haaretz didn’t even bother to mention the Evyatar march, seeing as it is now the official manifesto of the revolution. Neither did News13, another bastion of pure left-wing ideology, which, like Haaretz, has dumped its right-wing hosts even though they brought their highest ratings. News12 also doesn’t feature on its website any reference to the march.

Lucy Dee, Mother of Maia and Rina has died of wounds sustained in the same attack.

 

 Hadassah Medical Center sadly announced that Lucy Dee, critically injured in last Friday's terrorist attack, had succumbed to her wounds. "We are saddened to announce the passing of Lucy (Leah) Dee, the victim of the fatal attack in the Jordan Valley that happened last Friday," the hospital said.

"48-year-old Lucy Dee was evacuated by helicopter to Hadassah Ein Kerem in critical condition, where our medical teams fought for her life over the past few days, in the trauma unit, the operating room, and the intensive care unit where she was treated.

"Unfortunately, despite supreme and unceasing efforts, due to her critical injuries, she was declared dead today.

"The social service team in Hadassah together with the management of the Efrat local council and the council's welfare officials will accompany the family in its difficult time.

"The Dee family warmly thanked the medical team at Hadassah who did everything possible to save Lucy and did not give up until her last moments. Despite the great grief and heartbreak, the family has decided to donate Lucy's organs in order to save other lives. Hadassah Medical Center shares in the family's great sorrow."

President Isaac Herzog commented: ""How much we hoped, how much we prayed, but tragically Leah, mother of Rina and Maia of blessed memory, who was fatally wounded in the terror attack in the Jordan Valley, has died of her injuries. On behalf of the entire people of Israel, I send my warmest condolences to the Dee family and pray that they will know no more sorrow. May her memory be a blessing."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented: "On behalf of all citizens of Israel, I convey heartfelt condolences to the Dee family on the passing of the mother of the family, Leah (Lucy), who was murdered in the severe terrorist attack in the Jordan Valley last Friday, together with her two daughters Maia and Rina."

Israel Gives in to Poland’s Demands to Teach Jewish Children who visit Auswich that the Cruel and Murderous Poles Were Tzaddikim" and Heros

 In March, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau signed an agreement on “cooperation in the field of study visits of organized youth groups, after the Lapid government last August canceled the visits of Israeli schoolchildren to Poland that were scheduled for last September through November. 

Israel announced that the two sides had reached a dead-end regarding content and security. Lapid, who served as both PM and FM, said the visits had been canceled due to the Polish government’s demand to intervene in the content that would be presented to the participating youths.

Now an agreement has been reached and is only waiting to be ratified by the Knesset and the Polish Sejm (pronounced “same”).

In its opening, the agreement explains that among its concerns is:

 “recognizing that negative ethical and moral attitudes such as racism and xenophobia, among others, largely stem from a lack of knowledge and insufficient education among young generations and that at the same time, both countries have a shared historical legacy which provides a foundation for facilitating bilateral relations.”

Because Poland and Israel on paper are ideally suited to be close and fast allies, and so many Israelis come from a Polish background or countries that border Poland – we should be friends. Commercially, the two countries benefit from a robust trade: In 2021, Israel exported to Poland gas turbines, pesticides, and medicine worth $364 million. Poland exported to Israel in 2021 raw sugar and beef worth $989 million. Practically sister nations.

There’s only this pesky thing about the events of 1939-1945 in Poland which Yair Lapid, whose father was a Holocaust survivor, refused to forgive. 

His successor either didn’t read the small print or didn’t assign to it a similar value. The deal he signed with Poland will, in fact, expose Israeli schoolchildren to Poland’s version of what happened under six years of German occupation, and don’t be mistaken, it will be all about Polish heroism in the face of the Nazi stormtroopers.

The devil hides in Article 2 section 1 of the agreements, which states that the “program of educational study visits will include in particular … study visits to sites commemorating the Holocaust and other crimes of the World War II, and additional sites, of special importance, to each nation’s history.”

Article 2 section 2 specifies: “In order to implement the provisions of [section 1], the parties will recommend sites and places for study visits specified in Annex 1 to this Agreement, which will be regularly updated…”

Scroll down to Annex 1, and, behold, it looks as if those Israeli teens will be treated to the entire Polish revisionism industry that whitewashes any trace of responsibility on the part of so many thousands of Poles in turning in Jews to the Germans, of stealing Jewish property, and, after the war, of lynching the few concentration camp prisoners who returned to their homes. Here’s the list, it is staggering. I’m sure that some of these museums are engaged in commemorating accurately and reliably the German (and Soviet) atrocities against Polish citizens. Many of them are reportedly engaged in whitewashing the country’s bloody past of antisemitism and collaboration.

One such center of shameless revisionism is the Ulma Family Museum of Poles Saving Jews in World War II. It was inaugurated in 2016 in Markowa, to commemorate Josef and Wiktoria Ulma and their six small children who were murdered by the Nazis for harboring Jews. The Ulma family is among Yad Vashem’s Righteous Among the Nations, which includes 6,700 Poles. Mind you, in 1939 the Polish population, not counting Jews, was about 32 million. But museums like the Ulma Family in Markowa create the impression that the vast majority of Poles spent the war years in a tireless search for Jews they could rescue. This museum desecrates the memory of the Holocaust, any sense of historical accuracy, any notion of decency and responsibility, and above all, it desecrates the memory of the saintly Ulma family.

Chareidim Do Not Attend Funeral of Maia and Rina Dee

 

In the last few weeks, three pairs of siblings were brutally torn away from the Jewish people.

The youngest pair of siblings murdered by the Arab savages were the Paley children; they were Chareidim. 

It seems that the Arab murderers do not distinguish between Jews, to them, a Jew is a Jew, is a Jew. To the murderers, a chilonie Jew, a Sfardie, an Ashkenazi, a Chasid, or a Yeshivish Jew are all the same. 

But to the Jews themselves there are differences.

 How do I know that? How do I know that even in tragedy we don't get together?

 There is a saying that says that one picture tells an entire story. If you look at the photos of the levaya of the latest kedoishim, Maia and Rina Dee, you will not find one single Chareidie Jew! Not one Yeshivish Jew, not one. 

And this wasn't a day where the bochrim were "hureving" over a daf in yeshivah, nooooooo! It was Choil HaMoied! 

I heard the father's hespid and he being magnanimous, praised the "achdus"of the Jewish people. 

I didn't see it, at least not at the levaye of his two daughters.

I am not a prophet nor a son of a prophet, and I don't pretend to know what message Hashem is giving us. 

But what I can do, and what every believing Jew should do is look back at what happened and try to take away our own ideas from these tragedies. 

   

Three sets of siblings were torn away, executed for no other reason then them being of the Jewish faith. Three sets of siblings! 

One set were Dati Leumi and went to the army, the murdered girls did shirut le'umi and of course the Chareidie children, were just children. The common denominator is that all three sets of martyrs were Shoimer Torah Umitzvois! It seems that Hashem didn't distinguish between Jews serving in the IDF and those who didn't! 

What I am taking away from this is that we, and when I say "we" I mean chareidiem, should be the ones to be mekareiv our chiloinie brothers and sisters, even if they hate us, even if they push us away.

 What a beautiful message did the chreidim of Bnei-Brak give to the world when they offered love to the far-left protestors that came to disrupt the Bnei-Brakers just two weeks ago.

Siblings were murdered and it is "siblings that have to get together in "achdus" and it is us.... yes us, frum Jews that should be the ones to initiate and facilitate shalom amongst us, and maybe then we will be able to show them through love how beautiful our traditions are.

Let's begin with our own, the ones that are Shoimrei Torah Umitzvois, Lets be supportive of them in times of joy and in times of tragedy. 

And for those who scream that we should not have anything to do with them and to scream "nazi" etc at their chiloinie brothers, I wonder what they would do, if their own child or their own grandchild, or brother or sister would go off the derech, would they scream "nazi" at them? 

This is what Jews do when a Terrorist Attack occurs

 Less than 24 hours after a terrorist attack took place on Dizengoff street in Tel Aviv, hundreds of Israelis from all walks of life gathered on the corner where the terrorist attack took place to welcome in Shabbat and pray for the people that were injured. This is Israel🤍

Malka Leifer: The story behind Melbourne sisters’ 15-year fight for justice and Leifer's Depraved Acts Against those who Trusted Her

 

It was the drawn-out legal battle kept hidden from jurors as a 15-year battle to bring a principal to justice reached its final weeks.

Three sisters’ fight to hold Malka Leifer accountable may never have come to fruition if not for video taken by private investigators who tracked her to the West Bank settlement of Immanuel in late 2017.

The former principal of the Adass Israel School – a religious school catering to Melbourne’s ultra-orthodox Jewish community – had fled back to her home country in 2008 after allegations of the sexual abuse of students first began swirling.

Details about Leifer’s extradition from Israel are only now able to be published after a gag order expired as a Melbourne jury handed down their verdicts last week.

Victoria Police had initiated extradition proceedings in 2014 but the case stalled when an Israeli court found she was mentally unfit to stand trial.

A social worker, Chana Rabinowitz, had contacted the school board days earlier to report her client’s whispered admission that she had been sexually abused.

“She was hunched over into herself and she could only whisper what it was,” Rabinowitz told a Melbourne court last month.

“She told me she had been hurt sexually by Malka Leifer. She described some of what happened.”

Leifer had fled Melbourne with her family in the middle of the night on March 6, 2008, after receiving a warning from members of the insular community.

On Monday, a jury found the 56-year-old guilty of sexually abusing Dassi Elrich, 35, and her sister Elly Sapper, 34, while they were students and later as junior religious teachers.

She was acquitted on allegations of abusing their older sister, Nicole Meyer, 37.

The mother-of-eight had been recruited to lead religious studies at the all-girls school in 2001, to great excitement in the school.

“She came to the community and became this person that was revered as much as a rabbi, and I had never seen a woman that people looked up to like this,” Ms Erlich told the trial.

“She made me feel loved when I spent time with her … I was hoping that she would love me like a mother. I wanted to feel loved,” Ms Sapper said of their relationship.

The sisters first filed police complaints in 2011, sparking a decade-long legal battle fought through two countries’ court systems.

Leifer was arrested by Israeli police in August 2014 at the request of Australian authorities and placed on house arrest as she challenged the extradition process.

For close to two years, she avoided scheduled hearings in an Israeli court, claiming she faced panic attacks and was too unwell to attend.

Then, in June 2016, the sisters were undoubtedly shocked when news broke that Leifer had been found mentally unfit by a court-appointed psychiatrist and her extradition hearings would be delayed indefinitely while she received treatment.

Her lawyer, Yehuda Fried, told news outlets at the time she struggled to get clear instructions throughout the proceedings.

Leifer’s house arrest was lifted and she quietly continued on with her life.

Appeals from Australian government officials – including then-prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews – to re-examine the case failed to gain traction in Israel.

More than 200 hours of video proof showing Leifer out-and-about doing mundane tasks such as shopping and catching public transport, spectacularly captured national and international news headlines in 2018.

The sisters had travelled to Israel and met with the anti-child abuse organisation Jewish Community Watch, which arranged for a private investigator to track her down in the gated community.

It was then they launched the Bring Leifer Back campaign to fight for her return.

The footage galvanised Israel’s police force, who launched a fresh investigation and rearrested Leifer the same year amid suspicion she was feigning her mental illness.

A new assessment found she was able to stand trial and, by 2019, she was being held in the country’s only female prison awaiting extradition proceedings.

Israel’s former health minister Yaakov Litzman was placed under investigation the same year over allegations he had tried to pressure psychiatrists to find Leifer unfit to stand trial.

He stood down from the Israeli legislature, the Knesset, in 2022 and was sentenced to eight months jail after taking a plea deal for breach of trust.

A panel of psychiatrists engaged by the Jerusalem District Court found in 2020 that Leifer had faked her mental illness to avoid returning to Australia.

More than six years after Victoria Police first filed the request, Israel signed the extradition order in December 2020.

A female officer from Victoria Police travelled to Israel in early 2021 and Leifer was taken into Australian custody, touching down in the country on January 25.

During the following two years she faced a series of hearings across Melbourne courts before the case was eventually set down for a trial in February 2023.

Over seven weeks a jury heard evidence from the three sisters, police investigators, Adass Israel school staff, and psychologists and psychiatrists.

Leifer remained expressionless through the trial, sitting in adock at the back of a courtroom and was often seen reading a small gold and white coloured prayer book while silently mouthing words.

After more than 31 hours of deliberations spanning nine days, the jury re-entered the courtroom to a thick silence shortly after 3.45pm on Monday April 3.

Beyond reasonable doubt, they found Leifer guilty on five counts of rape, one count of rape by compelled sexual penetration, four counts of indecent act with a 16 or 17 year-old child, five counts of indecent assault and three counts of sexual penetration of a 16 or 17 year-old child.

The verdicts relate to incidents that occurred between 2004 and 2007 on school trips, during private education sessions at Leifer’s Elsternwick home, and backstage of a school play being performed at the Phoenix Theatre.

She was acquitted of five charges of rape and four charges of indecent assault, which were alleged to have occurred on school grounds or a June 2016 school camp in Blampied.

In their testimony before the jury, the sisters said their mother had been violent and abusive growing up, and school had felt like a safe haven.

Leifer, they said, had begun to show them a “warmth and care” they were not receiving at home.

Prosecutors argued the evidence proved the former principal had targeted the girls for their vulnerability, manipulating them with her affection.

“In each instance, she started with lesser acts so she could see the reaction and escalated over time,” crown prosecutor Justin Lewis told the jury.

“As far as the accused was concerned, they were ripe for the picking.”

Leifer has vigorously maintained her innocence, with her barrister Ian Hill KC telling the jury from the outset her interactions were “proper and professional”.

Outside of court on Monday, he told reporters he had “nothing to say at this time”.

The sisters, however, held hands as they faced TV cameras and a throng of journalists to proclaim; “the whole world will know that now, she is guilty”.

“Today we can start to take the power back that she stole from us as children,” Ms Sapper said.

“We have sat in this court for going on nine weeks now, every day listening to our truth and having people try to tear that apart and tear us apart.”

Ms Meyer, whose allegations the jury acquitted Lefier on, described the feeling as “bittersweet”.

“Yes it’s bittersweet, but she is guilty,” she said.

“I turned around and looked at her … if she doesn't want to look at me, so be it.”

Ms Erlich said the abuse had held them hostage for so many years but it was now “time to start looking forward”.

“This is the beginning of our future now, throwing off how the abuse has impacted us for so many years and it’s time to start our lives,” she said.

Shortly after the verdict was handed down, Adass Israel School principal Aaron Strasser issued a statement on behalf of the school.

“On behalf of Adass Israel School, we apologise to the survivors abused by Mrs Malka Leifer while they were students here,” he said.

“We are sorry for the distress they have suffered and the impact of that abuse on their lives and families.

“We commend the survivors’ bravery in coming forward.

“Adass Israel School complies fully with all child safety standards and regulations, and we have zero tolerance for abuse of any kind.”

Leifer will return to court for sentencing at a later date.

Very Disturbing Report: Son of George Soros Has Visited the White House 14 Times

 

Far Left-wing billionaire and Democrat donor George Soros’ son, Alexander Soros—who chairs the grant-making organization his father founded, Open Society Foundations—has apparently visited the White House numerous times since President Joe Biden (D) took office.

Last year, 37-year-old Alexander Soros had at least a dozen meetings with White House officials, per its visitor logs, the New York Post reported Saturday.

“His latest trips include visiting Dec. 1 with then-White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain’s advisor Nina Srivastava, who also worked on Biden’s presidential campaign, the logs show,” the outlet continued:

[T]he younger Soros was one of 330 people who attended a lavish state dinner on the White House South Lawn hosted by the president and First Lady Jill Biden honoring French President Emmanuel Macron and Macron’s wife, Brigitte.

A day later, Alexander Soros — who chairs the powerful, liberal grant-making network Open Society Foundations founded by his dad — met with both Advisor to the Counselor of President Mariana Adame and Deputy National Security Advisor Jonathan Finer, records show.

Maia and Rina laid to rest in double grave

 

Following Friday's deadly terror attack, in which the Dee sisters, Maia and Rina, were murdered by an arab terrorist, the two sisters were laid to rest together on Sunday afternoon.

When the bodies of the victims entered the funeral hall, the two remaining sisters broke down crying and fell on their sisters' bodies.

The ceremony opened with the reading of Psalms for the recovery of the victims' mother, Leah, who remains in critical condition following the attack.

Efrat Sisters Murdered Execution Style by Arab Savages

 

The names of the two young sisters murdered in Friday’s shooting attack in the Jordan Valley have been announced, as their mother who was also injured in the attack remains in very grave condition.

20-year-old Maya and 16-year Rina Dee HyD were residents of Efrat who had immigrated from Britain. Maya was doing her national service in Yerucham. The two were travelling in a car with their mother when terrorists opened fire on their vehicle, shooting 22 bullets at the car and killing both sisters. Their mother, 48-year-old Leah Bas Tzipora (Lucy), was rushed by helicopter to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in critical condition and remains in very serious life-threatening condition after undergoing an operation in the hospital Friday.

The father of the girls and their siblings who were travelling ahead in another car were uninjured but heard the shooting and returned to the scene to treat their family members.

An army spokesperson said the attack had occurred near the Israeli town of Hamra, and that the IDF had  launched a manhunt for the terrorists responsible for the shooting. As of Saturday night the terrorists had not yet been apprehended.

“Following the reports of a shooting attack at the Hamra Junction, a report was received regarding a car accident between a Palestinian and an Israeli vehicle. IDF soldiers who were dispatched to the scene located numerous bullet hits on the Israeli vehicle, indicating that the accident was in fact a shooting attack.”

“As a result, three Israeli women were injured, two of them were killed. IDF soldiers are blocking routes adjacent to the scene of the shooting attack, a pursuit after the terrorists has begun.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that “in the name of Israel’s citizens I wish to send condolences to the family from Efrat over the murder of the wonderful sisters, Rina and Maya of blessed memory, in the harsh terrorist attack in the Jordan valley. At this time the mother of the family is fighting for her life and together with all the Jewish nation I pray for her welfare and we all send condolences and strength to the dear family at the time of their heavy grief.”

Opposition leader Yair Lapid said that “my heart breaks to see the smiles of the sisters Maya and Rina who were murdered by a foul terrorist. I pray with all the Jewish nation for the mother’s recovery and offer strength to the family in its difficult hour.”

How the Wokes Erased "Aunt Jemima" from History

 

A great woman erased from history by idiots.

The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed.

What a shame.

The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story.

She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark.

 Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star.

She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving.

Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid.

Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans.

She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89.

This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics.

I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period. 

How CUNY became America’s most anti-Semitic university

 

The “cleansing” of Jewish students and lecturers from German universities from 1933 to 1935 was one of the Nazis’ first goals met.

Ninety years later, in the metropolis with the world’s largest Jewish population, the City University of New York has successfully completed a yearslong initiative to expunge all Jews from its senior leadership.

Spring will see the exit of the last two remaining Jews on the school’s 80-member senior-leadership team, in a city whose population is about 20% Jewish.

It will be the first time since its 1961 founding that CUNY’s senior leadership will be Jew-free or Judenrein, for those who fear the horrors of history repeating itself.

This is just one of many systemic initiatives designed to expel the Jewish presence at CUNY.

The once-vibrant recruitment of students at New York City’s Jewish schools has all but ceased at most campuses, and there is now abundant evidence demonstrating it’s more difficult than ever for a Jewish professor to attain a CUNY faculty position.

But what bodes even worse for the city’s Jewish students and academic leaders is that CUNY seems hell-bent on replacing its Jews with anti-Semites.

13 Jews and 5 Goats Arrested For Trying To Bring Korban Pesach

 

Thirteen Jews, activists of the "Returning to the Temple Mount" movement who tried to offer a Passover sacrifice in what they call the "Passover Sacrifice Operation", were arrested by the police in Jerusalem.

Five goats were seized by the police and confiscated, and two activists received an administrative removal order signed by Homefront Command Major Rafi Milo.

All the detainees were released under restrictive conditions. The district court canceled the restrictions imposed earlier this week on Raphael Morris, the chairman of the movement.

The movement offered this statement: "A big thank you to all the dedicated activists who came to Jerusalem today intending to offer the Passover sacrifice, especially to the Honenu organization and attorney Nati Rom for the legal assistance provided to all the detainees."

Yesterday, against the background of reports and intentions to offer a Passover sacrifice on the Temple Mount, Rabbi of the Western Wall Shmuel Rabinovitch prohibited the bringing of animals to the Mughrabi Gate. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation prevented the entry of animals into the area in accordance with regulations governing the holy places.

It was reported that "the Western Wall Heritage Foundation operates according to the instructions of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, which for generations has opposed any act of this kind, and under the authority of the Western Wall Rabbi, has been preventing such actions for years, and will continue to do so this year as well."

On Monday, the Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, sharply criticized those who went up to the Temple Mount and those who call to go up there. "According to the Halacha, there is a strict and absolute prohibition to go up to the Temple Mount. The dangerous calls to go up to the Temple Mount on the eve of Passover, in particular, and in general, are irresponsible and contrary to Halacha. No man or woman should trample the Halacha by going up to the Mount," said Rabbi Yosef.

The rabbi also said: "The seal with a prayer for a complete redemption and hope that our prayer will be accepted and we will be healed and we will be able to eat there from the sacrifices and from the Passovers, happy in the building of your city and happy in your work.

18 Year Old Arrested in Miriam Sussman Death in Monsey Hit & Run ...Released

 

An 18-year-old Hudson Valley resident has been charged with leaving the scene of a crash last year that left another woman dead.

The Rockland County teen, from Monsey, was charged on Monday, April 3, said Lt. Michael Gannon, with the Ramapo Police.

Her name was not released due to her age at the time of the incident, making her eligible for youthful offender status, Gannon said.

The crash took place in Rockland County around 12:45 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 28, on West Carlton Road in Ramapo, Gannon said.

Gannon said officers responded to the area after 52-year-old Miriam Sussman of Monsey was found dead in a wooded area adjacent to the roadway.

Sussman had been reported missing on Monday, Nov. 29, causing police to search for Sussman, reported ABC 7.

An investigation found the woman was struck and killed by a vehicle. The vehicle left the scene, Gannon said.

Following her arrest, the teen was arraigned and released without bail.

Malka Leifer Reportedly Molested Her Students In Bnei Brak Before She Went to Australia and then again after she Fled Back to Israel

by Ittay Flescher

A prayer of thanks – that was my first reaction to the guilty verdict of Malka Leifer. It’s a sex-abuse case I've followed for over 13 years years as a former teacher at Melbourne's Adass Israel School, then as a member of the city's Jewish community and a friend of the victims, and later as a journalist in Israel with Plus61J Media.

 I still remember the shock when journalists Ashley Browne and Naomi Levin broke the story in 2008, writing in The Australian Jewish News that Leifer had fled to Israel in the middle of the night with the help of the school's leaders. 

I remember how many people criticized the brave victims who came forward and the journalists who told the women's stories; they were charged with sinat hinam and lashon hara – baseless hatred and slander.

 I remember the civil court case in 2015 where the Supreme Court of the state of Victoria ordered the school to pay more than 1.1 million Australian dollars ($740,000), with Leifer having to pay AU$150,000, one of the largest sex abuse payouts in Australian history.

 I remember the concerns that many people raised – that talking about this story would stoke antisemitism and harm the Jewish community's reputation, or damage Australia-Israel ties.

 In 2018, as I entered the courtroom on Jerusalem's Saladin Street for the first hearing in the Leifer case that I attended, I was struck by the fact that the only ultra-Orthodox Jews there were family and supporters of Leifer's campaign to avoid justice in Australia. Some were holding mezuzahs or reciting Psalms, while others were holding texts with writings from the kabbala. 

Leifer's sister would often hold an image of Reb Shaya'la of Kerestir up toward the judge, as this Hungarian rabbi who died a century ago was believed to possess the power to heal the sick and comfort the afflicted.
