Hamas Planned a Massacre For The Baba Sali’s Hillula but the Zionist Army Got In the Way


 Thousands of Israelis traveled to Netivot on Sunday to daven at the kever of the Baba Sali for the hillula.

On Sunday evening, Mako reported that Hamas had planned to kill and maim the Jews who gathered for the hillula and had prepared to launch 40 rockets at the kever. The evil plot was thwarted by the soldiers of the 646th Reserve Paratrooper Brigade who destroyed the launchers.

Brigade Commander Col. Elad Shushan told Mako: “We destroyed the launchers before they could implement their plan. They deployed dozens of launchers set with timers to launch precisely during the hillula. We carried out a raid, canceled the launch, and destroyed the launchers.”

Georgia DA Fani Willis claims 'improper' relationship accusations are based on race ...But Doesn't Deny the Affair

 

Fulton County, Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who brought charges against former President Donald Trump on election interference, claims allegations brought against her of having an "improper" romantic relationship with a prosecutor were made because they are Black.

Court documents filed earlier this month say Willis hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade, her alleged partner, to prosecute Trump and benefited financially from the relationship in the form of lavish vacations the two went on using funds his firm received for working the case.

For the first time since the allegations were made, Willis spoke on the matter at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta on Sunday.

"They only attacked one," she said. "First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’

"But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one," Willis asked.

Willis had remained mum in public on the matter, though she still has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations brought against her and Wade, who was involved in bringing an indictment against Trump for election interference.

Joyce Randolph (Trixie) iconic ‘Honeymooners’ star, dead at 99

DIN: את חטאי אני מזכיר היום

I actually grew up without a TV, we didn't even have a record player, I bought a record player from the monies I received at my Bar-Mitzvah. We had a non-frum neighbor who would invite us on Motzei Shabbos to watch "The Honeymooners" It was live. This brings back some fond memories from my childhood., and so when I read that someone who I had known for decades, dies, it reminds me of my own mortality, and that no one will live forever. 


Joyce Randolph, who starred in the 1955 sitcom “The Honeymooners,” has died. She was 99.

Randolph reportedly died peacefully Saturday in her sleep in her New York City home due to the effects of old age, her son told TMZ.

According to the outlet, the last surviving member of the hit television show had been in hospice care at the time of her death and was unable to walk.

The Michigan native, who was born in 1924, got her acting start when she moved to New York City in 1950 to star in a Broadway show called “Ladies Night in a Turkish Bath” before moving into TV.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Randolph was initially tapped to star in the iconic television show after Jackie Gleason, who played Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden on the show, saw her doing a commercial for chewing gum and asked her to be a part of his variety show “Cavalcade of Stars.”

Randolph would later star in the show’s spinoff series “The Honeymooners” as Trixie Norton, alongside Art Carney as sewer worker Ed Norton and Audrey Meadows as Alice Kramden. The series ran for 39 episodes before cancellation.

“We just played ourselves,” Randolph once told The New York Times regarding the show in 2012. “Nobody told us to characterize in any way. It was learn those lines and go on.”

Despite the show’s very short run, it was announced in 2016 that “The Honeymooners” would be getting a modern-day reboot on CBS — though there have been no updates since the announcement.

In 2017, Randolph was spotted walking the red carpet of a musical version of the iconic television during a brief stint at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse.

Since news of her death broke, several social media users have taken to posting tributes to the late actress.

“It’s the end of an era,” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Another chapter of the golden age of television officially comes to a close with the passing of Joyce Randolph.”

“So long Trixie, and thank you,” a second fan posted.

“Farewell to the last star of one of the greatest and most enduring sitcoms of all time,” a third person commented.

The late actress is survived by her son, Randy, who revealed that his mother will be cremated and that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Randolph’s memory should donate to the Entertainment Community Fund.

House Speaker Mike Johnson calls to fire any federal workers who take part in planned ‘walkout’ over Gaza policy

 

Federal employees “deserve” to be fired if they participate in a planned walkout to protest President Biden’s handling of Israel’s war against Hamas, House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday.

The Louisiana Republican made the statement on X, commenting on an AL-Monitor news article that reported workers in at least 22 agencies plan to protest Biden’s policy involving Gaza by joining the work stoppage Tuesday.  

“Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers,” Johnson posted. “They deserve to be fired.”

Johnson vowed to work with fellow Republican, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, to “ensure that each federal agency initiates appropriate disciplinary proceedings against any person who walks out on their job.”

Ben Gvir: Our Questions Make Gantz and Gallant Uncomfortable


Following a Saturday night report that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had stormed out of a war cabinet meeting when his aides were asked to leave, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir attacked Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz in an interview on the popular right-wing news panel, “The Patriots.”

Ben Gvir’s main point was that Gantz and Gallant don’t like it when fellow ministers ask them tough questions during cabinet meetings.

“I’ll put it this way,” Ben Gvir told the right-wing Channel 14 panel, “There are those who try to silence us. It’s no secret that we ask questions, myself, Miri Regev, Smotrich, too. And unfortunately, there is someone out there who wants to discourage us from asking questions.”

“Yes, I have questions,” Ben Gvir added. “I ask the Chief of Staff. I’m not slamming or arguing or confronting, but it is my duty as an elected official to ask questions.”

Ben Gvir was also referencing a recent confrontation between Minister Orit Strook and the Head of the IDF Strategy Division, Major General Eliezer Toledano, Strook inquired regarding news reports that some Air Force pilots refuse to attack targets in Gaza on consciousness grounds. Toledano rebuked the minister, telling her it was a “horrible question.” (The Left Hates Orit Strook, the Woman Who’s Been Attacking the Conceptzia Since the Expulsion)

Israel readies for possibility of pregnancies in female hostages raped by Hamas

 


The Israeli medical community, usually reluctant to consider such scenarios, has recently actively been preparing for the appalling possibility of several female hostages who were raped in captivity and subsequently become pregnant.


According to sources who spoke with Maariv, there have been comprehensive discussions in hospitals across the country about preparing for the return of Israeli hostages who have been sexually assaulted by Hamas terrorists and are currently at different stages of pregnancy.

Israeli law permits abortions, granting women the autonomy to decide their course of action. However, the state is now faced with the daunting task of addressing the enduring trauma that will affect the victims and their families for a lifetime.

9,000 Dead Terrorists: IDF Gives Detailed Stats On 100th Day Since Oct. 7

 



The IDF on Sunday provided a detailed account of statistics related to the ongoing conflict.

Among the key figures disclosed, the IDF reported that approximately 9,000 Hamas militants have been killed during the invasion of Gaza – including two out of Hamas’s five brigade-level commanders.

The IDF’s operations have also killed 19 battalion-level commanders, though this number includes commander replacements from the same battalion. In the northern region, around 170 Hezbollah and Hamas-affiliated terrorists have been killed.

The IDF has arrested 2,300 individuals who have undergone interrogation by the IDF Unit 504.

In terms of military actions, there have been a total of 30,000 IDF attacks on Gaza and approximately 750 on Hezbollah or other terrorist groups in the northern areas. Tragically, 522 IDF soldiers have lost their lives since October 7, with 188 of those killed since the start of the invasion.

2,536 total soldiers have been wounded, with 1,476 categorized as lightly wounded, 672 as moderately wounded, and 388 as seriously wounded.

The IDF also said around 9,000 rockets have crosed into Israeli airspace from Gaza, while approximately 2,000 rockets fired by Hamas did not reach Israel. Additionally, around 2,000 rockets or anti-tank missiles have crossed into Israel from Hezbollah, with around 30 originating from Syria.

The IDF’s efforts to protect civilians include conducting 79,000 direct evacuation phone calls to Palestinians who had not evacuated, as well as dropping 7.2 million leaflets, sending 13.7 million evacuation warning text messages, and delivering 15 million recorded evacuation messages.

In terms of humanitarian aid, the IDF has facilitated the transfer of 7,653 trucks carrying a total of 137,920 tons of cargo. This includes food trucks with 82,330 tons of food, shelter supplies with 16,630 tons, medical supplies with 11,510 tons, water with 17,320 tons, and miscellaneous trucks carrying 10,130 tons of supplies.

The IDF Home Front website has been visited 188 million times, and its apparatus has received 552,000 telephone calls.

Additionally, the IDF said that 1,700 rocket sirens have sounded in Israel amid the current conflict.

Jewish Doctor Targeted by Biden After Blowing Whistle on Kids’ Transgender Clinic


  Last year, a whistleblower report exposed a secret gender-change program on minors at Texas Children’s Hospital. The hospital had promised to stop the procedures but continued to perform transgender medical interventions on children as young as 11.


It turns out the whistleblower was former Texas Children’s Hospital general surgeon Dr. Eithan Haim

Following the story’s publication, Texas legislators banned all child gender-change procedures statewide, angering left-wing activists and hospital officials, who opposed any restriction on transgender medicine.

Then Dr. Haim was hit with revenge and retribution by the government. Federal agents tracked him down and identified him as the whistleblower, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari threatened him with prosecution.

On June 23,there was a loud knock from two federal agents from the Department of Health and Human Services saying he was the target of a criminal investigation.

Although he redacted all personal information and did not commit any crimes or violations, the Biden administration has placed a bull’s eye on the back of anyone who interferes with gender procedures.

Mordechai Ovadia Give Your Wife a Get


 The person pictured above, Mordechai Ovadia, has left his wife without a Get for eleven years.  He has been missing for the past nine years.  His wife has no way of contacting him.  There is a Seruv out on him, and he appears in the weekly column of the Jewish Press of those under a Seruv. 

No one should believe the most outrageous lie ever told:  “But I gave a get, it is waiting at Rabbi Gestetner.  All she has to do is go and get it.”  

Does anyone truly believe that a woman would refuse to receive a get.  The greatest of Gedolim have said that this is sheer manipulation.  

Fourteen Chashuva Rabbonim signed a Kol Koreh – including Rabbis Yaakov Ben-Haim, Rabbi Yaakov Bender, Rabbi Raymon Beyda, Rabbi Shmuel Choueka, Rabbi Raymond Harari, Rabbi Eliezer Harary, Rabbi Rachamim Harary, Rabbi David Ozeri, Rabbi Aryeh Ralbag, Rabbi Yisroel Reisman, Rabbi Shlomo Shalam, Rabbi David J. Sutton, Rabbi Shlomo Wadiche and Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh.

HIGH COURT: Women can fill “rabbi” slots on committee to select Chief Rabbi

DIN: I find it ironic that those who wouldn't even drink a glass of water with a Rabbanute Hashgacha, are all worked up over this. Just that you guys know, most of the food products recalled in Israel because of questionable kashrus are products under the Eida Hachreidis supervision, but you don't hear about it, it is kept "shaaa shtil" when the Rabbanute recalls a product they put advertisements in all the local newspapers, not to be "machshil" the oilom, but when you find out about an Eida product, you have to kasher your entire kitchen. How do I know? I shop in a very Chareidie Store that carries  Eida Hachreidis products exclusively. Just last week I wanted to buy a certain product that my wife loves, I don't see it, I ask the Chareidie cashier "are we getting this product anytime soon?" He laughs and says "Yes, when the company makes it kosher"... there were no notices, no ads, they just pulled the product off the shelves. This has happened countless times! They are worried about women in the Rabbanute while feeding their families "chazir" 

The High Court has ruled that women may serve on the committee that selects Chief Rabbis and the Chief Rabbinate Council.

According to the Times of Israel, the court ruled that the term “rabbi” applies not only to those ordained by the Orthodox Chief Rabbinate but to all individuals (including women), with knowledge of halacha comparable to the men. However the ruling does not allow women to be considered as rabbis themselves.

Under the ruling, passed by a panel of three justices with one dissenting opinion, women–whom the Rabbinate does not recognize as rabbis–may nonetheless be appointed to occupy the position of “rabbi” on the Chief Rabbi Election Assembly.

The ruling also allows women to serve on the Chief Rabbinate Council, a governing body of 10 rabbis who act as an arbitration body in all halacha and Rabbinate-related matters.

In the case of the electoral assembly, the court found, the purpose of rabbis is not to decide a matter of halacha, but to represent the religious community, as part of the decision-making process for the election of Chief Rabbi.

In his dissenting opinion, Justice David Mintz wrote that “the point of departure is that this court does not wear the hat of the Chief Rabbinate, which has the ultimate halachic authority.”

Shimon Shmueli, a lawyer and treasurer of the Bat Yam Religious Council – the office of the Chief Rabbinate in Bat Yam, slammed the decision on Twitter. He wrote: “Another aggressive intervention and distorted interpretation by the High Court of Justice. The letter of the law explicitly says, in clause 7(8), that the appointees are ‘rabbis.’ But they [the court justices] twist the lawbook whichever way they feel like.”

According to TOI:

“As per a 1980 law, the assembly is made up of two categories of representatives: “rabbis,” who are all men because the term has been treated as pertaining to the Orthodox definition that precludes women, and “public representatives,” who account for all females in the Assembly. In its petition, Bar-Ilan University’s Rackman Center argued that women should be allowed to serve in the Assembly not only in the “public representative” category — which accounts for 70 out of the 150 Assembly delegates — but also as “rabbis.”

The court concurred, saying that the roles should be open to women. It stopped short of decreeing that women be appointed as rabbis to the Assembly or the Council.”

Who did "Rashi" call a "Rasha" in Parshas Bo?

 


Rashi the quintessential "Rabban shel Yisrael" lived in Troyes, County of Champagne, in France. He lived from the years 1040-1105. 
He lived during very turbulent times for the Jewish people, namely the First Crusade that took place from the years 1096-1099.
Many of the Crusaders were from Champagne, France, where Rashi resided, that's like having Hamas living in Boro-Park. 
According to Wikipedia, the first Crusade was initiated, supported, and at times directed by the Latin Church! The objective was the recovery of the Holy Land from Islamic rule.
This call was met with an enthusiastic popular response across all social classes in Western Europe. Mobs of predominantly poor Christians numbering in the thousands and led by Peter the Hermit, a French priest, were the first to respond. 

What do Christians do in a holy war? They kill Jews! 

So on the way to Yerushalayim they passed through Germany and massacred innocent Jews in the Rhineland, which was infamously called the "Rhineland massacres!" They decimated the Jewish Communities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz. There had not been so broad a movement against Jews by Catholics since the 7th century's mass expulsions and forced conversions! 
Jews were first attacked in France where Rashi lived, and the Jews of France were of course terrified, and there are letters from Jews who lived in France to the Jews living in the Rhineland warning them of the upcoming disasters, some of which they had experienced themselves.

So what does this have to do with Parshas Bo? 

Rashi lived during those turbulent times and of course, knew about the massacres, but when you read Rashi's commentators on the Torah or even throughout Shas . you would never ever know what he was going through, his commentaries are so gentle and kind and inciteful, and never gives away the fact that Jews were being murdered all around him. 

He doesn't look for answers from the Ribbono Shel Oilim, he doesn't write whether those murdered and raped were frum or chilonim. He doesn't record the miracles (which I'm certain there were many) that happened only to the frum people. Reading Rashi you would think he is sitting in his bungalow in Swan Lake surrounded by his grandchildren. 
And yet, in Parshas Bo, Rashi goes out of his gentle character and calls other Jews "rashaim" evil!!! 

What happened? 

The Torah records for posterity the last plaque before the slaying of the "First Born," namely the plaque of Choshech.... Darkness!
Rashi wonders why Hashem brought this plague of Darkness specifically. 

?ולמה הביא עליהם חשך
שהיו בישראל באותו הדור רשעים ולא היו רוצים לצאת ומתו בשלשת ימי אפלה
כדי שלא יראו מצריים במפלתם 
ויאמרו אף הם לוקים כמונו

Why did He bring the plague of darkness against them? 
(Because) there were amongst the Jewish people of that generation wicked individuals, who did not wish to leave Egypt, and so they perished during the three days of gloom so that the Egyptians would not witness their downfall, and say "They, too, are being smitten as we are."

Wow! A lot to digest... 
Let's take this apart.

A message from a Psychedelic Integration Therapist .... in Yiddish

 

Jewish "yemach' she'monicks" participate in a pro-Hamas rally — March4Gaza — in Washington DC. On Shabbos

 

JUST IN:.... Germany intends to intervene in ICJ hearing in support of Israel.

 



Germany: 
"In view of German history and the crimes against humanity of the Holocaust, the Government is particularly committed to the Convention against Genocide.

This convention is a central instrument of international law to implement the principle of "never again". We resolutely oppose its political instrumentalization.

We know that different countries rate Israel's operation in the Gaza Strip differently. However, Germany firmly and expressly rejects the accusation of genocide now made before the International Court of Justice against Israel. This accusation lacks any basis [and] ... Government intends to intervene as a third party."
