The Aristotle of Our Times Strikes Again!

 

“When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum,” she told the performers.

“Where there’s a vacancy, let’s fill it. Let us know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights.”

Huh?

As she spoke in K turns, her disheveled hair fell into her face. And with every inane declaration, her eyes bulged like ET and her chin receded into her head. It’s the face one makes when they’ve been studying the complete works of Kendall Jackson.

“We have to be clear-eyed. And it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything. These things all co-exist, but I believe we fight for something, not against something,” she continued.

And to think, in an alternative brat universe, this would be our president.

Rubio in Israel Says Hamas Must Be Eradicated

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working closely with President Donald Trump, according to a joint statement released on Sunday with visiting U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“Contrary to what is being reported, President Trump and I are working in full cooperation and coordination,” the prime minister told Rubio, according to the statement.

“We have a shared strategy, which cannot always be detailed to the public—including when the gates of hell will open. And they will open if all our hostages are not returned, every last one of them,” it continued.

According to a statement from his office on Saturday, Netanyahu will convene the Security Cabinet “soon” to discuss Jerusalem’s response to Trump’s call for the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza to release all of the hostages it is holding.

Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to securing the release of all hostages, dismantling Hamas’s military and governing capabilities and eliminating the threat from Gaza.

For his part, the top American diplomat stressed at a press conference alongside the Israeli premier that the Jewish state has had no stronger ally in the White House than Trump.

Rubio emphasized that the hostages must be released and reiterated that Hamas cannot continue as a military or governing force in Gaza, saying that the terrorist group “must be eliminated.”

Rubio Shuts Up Leftist Anchor Of "Face the Nation" Nazi Regime Responsible for Holocaust, Not Free Speech

 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio schooled CBS News Face the Nation host’ Margaret Brennan after she strangely claimed the Holocaust happened because of too much free speech.

Brennan verbally struggled as she tried relating JD Vance’s comments on free speech to Nazis.

Brennan: “[Vance] was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide…”

Rubio: “I have to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide.”

“The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews… There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none.”

New reform ends bureaucracy and enables immediate employment for professionals upon Aliyah.

 

The Israeli government has approved a historic reform, led by Minister of Aliyah and Integration Ofir Sofer, that will transform the Israeli job market for new Olim.

From now on, professionals in licensed fields will be able to start the licensing process before arriving in Israel, allowing them to integrate into the workforce quickly and help address labor shortages. This decision, aimed at removing bureaucratic barriers and encouraging Aliyah, is expected to boost economic growth and generate up to 3.8 billion ILS for the Israeli economy by 2034.

The Aliya Ministry explained that the new Olim brings valuable skills, experience, and international education in critical fields such as engineering, social work, education, finance, and medicine. However, Israel’s lengthy licensing processes have long been a major obstacle, even affecting the decision to make Aliyah. These bureaucratic hurdles delay and, in some cases, prevent Olim from working in their professions upon arrival.

In Israel an NGO poured over 100 million to fight the Right the right and judicial reform

The NGO that poured over $100 million into the struggle against the right and the judicial reform is the "Blue and White Future" Association 

The "Blue and White Future" association,  is managed by prominent activists and directors, among others, - Shikma Bressler, Ilan Shiloach, Dan Halutz, Gilad Sher and Ami Ayalon

Among the organization's goals is to bring about a two-state solution and establish Palestine as the state of the Palestinians.

Neighbors of New Skver Outraged as Skver Deliberately Destroys Their Neighborhoods!

עד מתי יהיה זה לנו למוקש 

"How much longer is Skver going to be a snare for us and our children?"

 

We have been posting about the atrocities that Skver has deliberately perpetuated at their neighbors to make sure that the areas around New Skver are "Judenrein" since 2017! 

Way back in 2014, The New Square Bais Din begged Jews Not to buy houses within 1 mile of New Square to keep the "Shtetel" holy, apparently Jews that don't belong to Skver will contaminate their "Uganda Shtetel" 

The Bais Din wrote then in a Kol Korah, that  "if the surrounding Jewish communities were to spread even further towards New Square , to the point of reaching the parameters of New Square, the "blurring of our borders would defeat the founding purpose of the shtetl."

The problem is that as Monsey grows the price of housing goes up as well, so young couples are constantly looking for new areas for affordable housing! The area immediately bordering New Square has become an area where young families starting moving to, to establish a vibrant Frum community where housing was still affordable! 

But the Skverer Rebber issued a "Fatwa" and instituted a one-mile perimeter around his Shtetel to keep Jews out but Goyim in!!  Just like in Gaza!

To make sure every Jew in the world keeps in line and doesn't move into the neighboring areas, Skver starting buying homes from Goyim, not to live in them, chas ve'sholom, but to rent them out to Latinos! 

But not stam "Latinos" they stuff multiple Latino families into homes zoned for one-family dwellings! On Shabbos they play loud music and their wives and daughters come out barely dressed to party, making it impossible for the Frum Families to let their children outside on Shabbos! 

The community has now organized to fight this disgusting Skver initiative, but are first attempting to do this in a nice way! 

What is really interesting is that Skver is building a multi-million $ Bais Medrish and started a campaign to "schnoor" from the entire Frum World, the Community is asking every single Jew with a heart not to give them one cent until they can come to a mutual agreement! 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rockland Communities Call for Transparency and Fairness in Housing Practices

Rockland County, NY –  A coalition of thriving frum communities near New Square is raising serious concerns about the housing acquisition tactics employed by the New Square kehilla. In an open letter to donors of Shekel Hakodesh, the Ichud Kehillos of Rockland is urging financial supporters to withhold funds from New Square’s institutions until these aggressive housing practices are halted.

According to the letter, New Square’s leadership has been systematically purchasing homes in nearby neighborhoods and overcrowding them with unseemly tenants. The goal, the coalition alleges, is to intimidate existing residents and force them out in an effort to maintain New Square’s isolation from other Jewish communities.

“This is a Chilul Hashem, contrary to Halacha, and the opposite of Darchei Shalom. All we want is to live in peace,” the letter states. “We have not bothered a single member of their community, yet we are being harassed.”

The Ichud Kehillos of Rockland emphasize that their intent is not to harm the New Square community but to ensure fair housing practices that align with both civil law and Halacha. They highlight that an estimated $50 million has been tied up in these controversial real estate transactions—funds they argue could be put to far better use.

As a result, the coalition is calling on donors to demand a written commitment from New Square’s leadership that homes will no longer be purchased with the intent of keeping frum Jews out of certain neighborhoods, nor will properties be bought or rented in violation of legal standards.

“We respectfully ask you to take action on our behalf and stand up for what’s right,” the letter concludes.

Ellen Greenberg Had 10 Stab Wounds in the back of her neck but Coroner Ruled it a "Suicide"

 

With her fiancé Sam Goldberg ..Did he kill her?

The former Pennsylvania state trooper and private investigator who spent more than a decade digging into the suspicious death of Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg wants President Donald Trump's Justice Department to launch a corruption probe into Philadelphia as he slammed Gov. Josh Shapiro over his involvement in the controversial case. 

 The remarks come shortly after the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy finally abandoned his highly disputed finding that her death from 20 stab wounds was a suicide. Half of them came from behind, including one that experts say was likely inflicted after she was already dead.

 Dr. Marlon Osbourne, a former member of the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office who has since moved to Florida, initially ruled her death a homicide but changed his finding to suicide days later, after a closed-door meeting with police, according to court records. 

Details about that meeting have never been made public, and the lawyer for Greenberg's parents said no record of who took part from the police department or what was discussed inside exists.

That meeting alone is enough for a federal corruption probe, according to Tom Brennan, the family's private investigator for nearly a decade and a former Pennsylvania state trooper.

Greenberg's parents have demanded a new investigation for years. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, citing a conflict of interest due to a past attorney-client relationship with the family, kicked the case up to the state attorney general's office headed by Shapiro at the time.  Nothing happened for years under Shapiro's office, according to Brennan.  "I can't stand a lying politician," he told Fox News Digital.

Brennan spent 25 years with the state police, including eight as an undercover detective investigating white-collar crime in Philadelphia.

"Don't tell me about corruption in Philadelphia," he said. "These people are foul. They are really foul."

As recently as last week, Shapiro said his office's investigation "pointed toward a suicide" in an interview with WHTM-TV.

In July 2022, an independent journalist named Gavin Fish posted a YouTube video alleging that AG Shapiro had "a clear conflict of interest" in the case and that Greenberg’s fiancé’s family was among his campaign donors. The AG’s recusal from the case was announced three days later. He denied having "an actual conflict" but acknowledged the "appearance" of one.

On top of that, he had hired a former Philadelphia prosecutor who had overseen Greenberg's case in the city and assumed leadership of it in his office, Brennan said, another conflict when she was tasked with reviewing her own work.

But the alleged motivation to do nothing with the case may have been as simple as winning votes, Brennan said.

"Who needed the Philadelphia police and the Philadelphia vote in order to get into the governor's office? Attorney General Shapiro," Brennan said. "This guy puts politics above everything."

Unbelievable :Samantha Power’s USAID: $18.5 Billion Funneled to Islamist Terror States

 

When Samantha Power took the helm of USAID, the expectation was that she would advance the best interests of the American people, ensuring our foreign aid dollars were used responsibly to support democracy, human rights, and stability abroad. 

Instead, under her leadership, USAID became a tool for funding terrorism, advancing the interests of those who wish to destroy America, while actively undermining our national security.

It’s a shameful reality: as Power spent her time at USAID pushing billions of dollars into the hands of regimes and terror groups that threaten America, she failed the taxpayers who fund these operations. In just the last 5 years alone, USAID sent over $18.5 billion to Islamic terror states, money that could have been used to protect American lives and interests. Instead, it fueled the very regimes and groups that target America and our allies.

$2.3 billion in humanitarian assistance was given to Somalia over the past two years—a nation with deep ties to Islamic militant factions. As Somali officials, including former Prime Minister Hassan Khaire, have made clear, Ilhan Omar’s support for Somalia’s regime isn’t about Minnesota’s interests or those of America, but rather about supporting the Somali government and its agenda. And this is only the beginning.

USAID also sent $2.3 billion to Gaza in one year alone after the October 7th massacre, regions directly controlled by Hamas. $3.7 billion was allocated to Afghanistan after the Taliban took control, including $832 million just in the previous fiscal year.

Police Investigate Morphine Vial Found in Locker of Nurse Fired Over Anti-Israel Rant

  In a new development, police have launched an investigation after a vial of morphine was allegedly discovered in the personal locker of Ahmed Rashid Nadir, one of two nurses fired from Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital following an anti-Israel rant caught on video, where he said that he has murdered some Jewish patients! 

The discovery was made after Nadir reportedly asked a colleague to clear out his locker following his dismissal. The staff member, feeling uneasy about the request, instead alerted authorities. Police arrived at the hospital, conducted a search, and allegedly found the morphine vial inside.

The powerful painkiller, which is strictly regulated, has now become a focal point in the ongoing investigation. Authorities are working to determine how the drug ended up in Nadir’s possession and whether it was taken from hospital supplies.

In a further twist, sources close to the investigation revealed that forensic tests are underway to analyze fingerprints on the vial. While Nadir has denied taking the drug, investigators are exploring all possibilities, including whether someone else may have placed it in his locker.

The morphine discovery adds another layer of controversy to a case that has already sparked widespread outrage. Nadir and his colleague, Sarah Abu Lebdeh, were fired and barred from practicing as nurses nationwide after a video surfaced showing them refusing to treat Israeli patients and making inflammatory remarks. The fallout has prompted condemnation from government officials, healthcare professionals, and the wider community.

Police have also searched Nadir’s home, seizing multiple items for further examination. Meanwhile, hospital officials have reviewed security footage and inventory records to determine if additional medication is unaccounted for.

Authorities have yet to confirm whether criminal charges will be filed in relation to the morphine discovery. However, NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb stated that investigators are taking the matter seriously and are considering all available evidence.

Nadir, who was reportedly treated by emergency services on Thursday night following a “concern for welfare,” has issued a lawyer-drafted apology for his remarks but insists the incident was a misunderstanding.

The investigation remains ongoing.

The contempt and vicious Attack of a Chareidie Rav against Rabbanim that wear Knitted Kipot

 

"They are being killed (soldiers) because we don't learn enough" Rabbi Landau

by Asher Cohen

I loosely translated it from the Hebrew!

The phenomenon of the ultra-Orthodox attacking the national religious and their views is permanent, seasonal, like a natural phenomenon. This time it is Rabbi Dov Landau, head of the Slobodka Yeshiva, one of the leaders of the Lithuanian wing. And in accordance with their custom, this time too, it is just a matter of disqualification and lash out, but not anything substantive in his argument!

And it is almost always striking that the vast majority of the national religious rabbinical leadership is silent.

 Up until the time of writing this column, a browsing of the general and sectoral news sites brings up just one single response. Only Rabbi Yitzhak Ben David, head of the Sha'arei Zion Beit Midrash for the training of city rabbis under Rabbi Nissim, came out publicly criticizing Rabbi Landau.

"I'm not so much a statesman," Rabbi Landau tells his listeners modestly, "I'm not very knowledgeable about the details," but Daat Torah is Daat Torah, and we must present a historical, political background"

First, and this is an explanation that we heard over and over again during the current war, only Torah scholars saved Am Yisrael from a much worse outcome: 

"The fact that Am Yisrael, who are the people of God, made a state of destruction and heresy, is a great obligatory study... Torah scholars are saviors, and there is no explanation as to why the Arabs did not unite to annihilate  the entire land God forbid, save them all."

To the direct question about the sacrifice of the national religious, he answers:

 "So I said, they are being killed because we don't learn enough, and we have to save even more. They are killed because their rabbis teach them a distorted Torah, those who know the Zionist idea, what used to be, the Bnei Akiva movement, it still exists, but I don't wish them any blessing, their slogan was... Not the Creator of the world, not the Torah, 'Eretz Yisrael, for the people of Israel according to the color' – I say – 'the Torah of Israel,' this is what exists." (This is the wording and syntax in the original...).

And then comes a historical analysis centered on the preference for Jewish existence under Arab rule:

 "I don't know what would have happened at the beginning of the state if there had been a UN rule here, it would have been an excellent situation, there's a letter from the Brisker... Against Shertok, Sharett, a letter to the diaspora from 1948, it is possible to live well with the Arabs without a state, if we go further back, it is possible, as Rabbi Chaim Sonnenfeld did, to respect the Arabs, it was quite good that the Arabs ruled here, the situation is best, the Arabs would rule, they would be respected, they would not interfere in it."

In conclusion, it should be noted that when he mocks Rav Kook, he describes him as "the first chief rabbi" without his name, in contrast to Rav Fishman-Maimon, who is mentioned by name, but of course without the title of rabbi. (Hanani Breitkopf, "Rabbi Landau: I am not a statesman, but we were saved from the attack thanks to Torah study; Zionism brought disasters", Kikar HaShabbat 7.2.2025)

It is very possible that in normal times, there would have been room to say, as I heard one of the rabbis of the Hesder yeshivot say, that it is better to ignore it.

 After all, these are Chareidie views that have been known for several generations, as will be immediately clarified. And if we are dealing with an old argument dating back to the days of Rav Kook (to which Landau went so far), what is the real point of the response?

But we are not in normal times. 

Much has already been said about the heavy price that the National Religious Society has paid and continues to pay, in all its shades, in the high weight of its members among the fallen in the war, and in the continuation of its unceasing contribution to the war effort. The comes after more than a year of a harsh war that is still ongoing, and after the empty benches in the yeshivot and the national religious kollels stood out and still stand out.

Hopefully, by the time this column was published, appropriate responses had already been heard, and especially many, from rabbis. For if the deaf are silent at this time, revach ve'hatzala  will come from another place

80th year Yurzeit of Harav Teichtal who went from being an enemy of Zionism to an enthusiastic supporter!

by 

מנחם רהט

 

I loosely Translated his column from Hebrew!

Rabbi Yissachar Teichtal was murdered by the Nazis, but his ideology, which proves itself correct every day, has not yet penetrated the teachings of some of the Chareidie  leaders, one of whom (rabbi Dov Landau) mocked the "confused fighters with knitted yarmulkes" and longs for an Arab government that would grant an exemption from military service to Chareidie young men

1. Two historical events took place 80 years ago: in May 1945, the Nazi beast was defeated, and four months earlier, in Shevat 5705, Rabbi Yissachar Shlomo Teichtal, one of the first to sit in the Malchus of Torah in all European countries, was brutally murdered by the Nazis.

 Rabbi Yissachar Teichtal (hereinafter referred to as the Rabbi) was a giant of the generation: the Rosh Yeshiva of a Yeshiva for excellent students which he founded in the city of Pieshtian, Czechoslovakia, and was a well-known Av Beit Din who sent halachic responsa to all corners of Europe (and these were compiled in the ingenious Mishnah Shachir teshuvois).

Rav Teichtal understood quite early on that the Nazi devil was destining the Jews for total extermination. At that time, he still saw Zionism as the handiwork of the corrupting devil, as he was a clear follower of the greatest enemy of Zionism in those days, the Rebbe of Munkács (who, for comparison, hatred of Zionists by the Satmars and the other anti-sects paled in comparison to the enmity of Munkács).

The Rabbi did not sit idly by in the face of the imminent danger. In 1942 he fled Slovakia from Nazi Amalek to Hungary, where Jews were less persecuted (although Jews also suffered from Hungarian anti-Semitism). In the end, Hungary's sympathy for Germany did not help, which too was occupied by the Nazis in March 1944. The Rav returned to Slovakia and hid in an attic in Bratislava (which the Jews called Pressburg), but in the end he was caught due to informants and sent like the rest of his brothers on the death train to Auschwitz, where he was a burnt offering like the rest of his people.

2. From between the slits of the attic, he witnessed the Nazi devil's abuse of the Jews, and he caught chilling rumors about the extermination machine – and realized that he had lived his entire life a mistake by his opposition to Zionism. The transformation he underwent was complete. He saw the Zionist movement as an emissary of Divine Providence, which provided a safe haven for the persecuted Jewish people; And its people were perceived by him as emissaries of God to save the people and ensure the continuation of Jewish existence.

His new expression of this new ideological upheaval was recorded in his  Torah book which he wrote in  the same attic, "Ein Habanim Semeicha" (86, p.), in which all the quotations quoted from dozens of Torah books were written down from his genius memory, without the sources before his eyes. 

In his book, he expresses enthusiastic support for Zionism, immigration to the Land of Israel and its settlement, and expresses utter contempt for the rabbis and Rebbes who stopped the Jews from fleeing and reaching a safe shore in the Land of Israel, and compares them to the meraglim who slandered the land: 

"The spies were bribed by the biases that were hidden in their hearts. It is also in our time! Even rabbis and rabbis and Chassidim – this one has a good rabbinate, this has a good Rebbe, and this one has a good business or a good fabric or a good and honorable position – if they go to Eretz Yisrael, their situation will be weakened... Most of the time, a person deceives himself and thinks that his actions are for the sake of Heaven, and in fact he is managed by the bias that lies deep within him... that a person sees only what he wants to see" (pp. 38-39 in "Eim Habanim Semeich").

In all his greatness, the Rabbi humbly admits his ideological error, and notes in the face of the horrors of the Holocaust that he made a bitter mistake, like many of the rabbis of his generation:

 "In my eyes, too, I was disgusted of this enterprise of building the land... And only after we were afflicted with this exile did I examine this halakha, and God enlightened my eyes that I was  mistaken  and those rabbis who opposed it were also mistaken " 

And in another place: "All those who are... Against the immigration, against the building, and against the settlement of the land, they are the plague of the meraglim. And all those who choose Aliyah are the plague of Yehoshua and Kalev," says the Rav Teictal, calling on the public "to take upon ourselves for raising the keren arzeinu... And let us walk arm-in-arm in this holy enterprise, and then the work of our hands will be satisfied before the Holy One... And this will ultimately trickle down to us all... bringing Moshiach in our times " (p. 667).

3. However, the rabbis of the Chareidie communities in our time, who have already merited and continue to enjoy in the Land of Israel the pleasures of the national home established by the Zionist movement in the Land of Israel, kick all this goodness, and refuse to go "arm-in-arm in this holy enterprise." 

Not only do they not allow their followers  to participate in their defense and the defense of the land, but they also slander and curse those who do the holy work, and there were those who forbade the sending of food to the soldiers during the last war, for the evil reason: it is clear that the soldiers will not recite a blessing over the food, and this will be because "you shall not place an obstacle before the blind." That's it.

It's true that not everyone is like that. There are Chareidim who volunteer to pay out of their own pockets for soldiers who were spotted in an ultra-Orthodox restaurant. "Your bill has already been paid," restaurant owners say to the soldiers who sacrifice their lives for the defense of the nation in the Land of Israel – including the Chareidim . At the very least, they fulfill the mitzva of gratitude, which Judaism commands (see Sefer Ha-Chinuch).

For example, Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, one of the leaders of the Chareidie  community and Nasi of the Committee of Yeshiva Heads (who died a year and a half ago), compared the soldiers who gave their lives for the people and the land to those who were killed in Lod –

The story recorded in Talmud about  two ordinary Jews that gave their lives to save Klal Yisrael and were rewarded with a glorious reward from heaven. 

Rabbi Edelstein said: "Secular Jews who are not observant of Torah and mitzvot, if they give their lives to save others out of love for others, they have a world to come like those who were killed in Lod who gave their lives for the benefit of the people of the city. ...

What is nationalism? Love of the people. Secular people in the army give their lives to save others., Isn't this just the Lod fatalities? If the secular is willing to sacrifice his life more than the Chareidie, he is greater than him... Jewish nationalism is different from non-Jewish nationalism, and it is the love of the people of Jews and is blessed."

4. But there are also those who continue to insult and curse, and they are from the mainstream, not from the Jerusalem sect. 

Rabbi Dov Landau, known in the Lithuanian world as the leader of the generation, recently mocked "those  with knitted kippahs, who are confused" who give their lives for the salvation of the Jewish people; And despise God: "They are killed because their rabbis teach them a distorted Torah, whoever knows the Zionist idea, what used to be, the Bnei Akiva movement, it still exists, but I don't wish them any blessing."

Rabbi Landau also claimed – and this is a complete distortion – that if HaMedina had not been established and replaced by an Arab government, our situation would have been excellent. 

It has forgotten the pogroms that Arabs caused against the Jews of the country, even before Zionism. Thus, for example, the riots perpetrated by Arabs against the Jews of Safed in 1834, decades before Zionism, in the style of the Gaza massacre: dozens were murdered and wounded, many women were raped, and the rest fled with only their clothes for their bodies to be like animals in the mountains and valleys. Is this the paradise that the ultra-Orthodox yearn for?

I wonder what the Rav Teictal would have said about the Rav Landau's thoughts.

The PA Continues To Pay Terrorists

 

The Times of Israel reported on Tuesday that Palestinian Authority’s cabinet minister and veteran terrorist Ahmad Majdalani will head the new Palestinian National Foundation for Economic Empowerment, which PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas has announced will be in charge of all social welfare payments, including those to terrorists and their families.

Some media reports have claimed that terrorists will now receive payments only if they are in financial need, not according to the longstanding criteria of the length of their prison sentences (meaning, how many Jews they killed).

This is an obvious and outrageous ruse. Majdalani, the Palestinian Authority, and the terrorists will all be able to simply claim that because these terrorists are in jail, their families are in need.

The families of dead terrorists will say they are in need since their breadwinners are no longer alive. Of course, these terrorists are no longer alive because they either blew themselves up or were killed while attempting to commit murder.

Indeed, the fact that the new agency will be run by a veteran terrorist ensures that it will promote the needs of terrorists. The fox will be guarding the hen house.
