Glikl of Hamlin A 350-year-old Memoir Offers A Glimpse How Europe’s Jews Coped With A 17th-century Plague?

More than 350 years ago, a plague took a deadly toll on Hamburg, Germany. As the High Holidays approached, fear and panic set in and many of the city’s Jewish families fled.

Among them were Glikl and Hayyim Hamel, successful Jewish merchants who left with their three young children, including an 8-week-old daughter. En route to Hayyim’s parents, they spent time with relatives in Hanover, where some locals came to suspect their oldest daughter, 4-year-old Tsipor, was infected. Despite their assurances that she wasn’t ill, Glikl and Hayyim were forced to banish Tsipor and her caregivers to another town and were only allowed to visit from a distance.
“I will let any good father or mother judge for themselves how we felt,” Glikl would later write in her memoir. “My husband, of blessed memory, stood in a corner, weeping and pleading, while I stood in a corner.”

The Met mislabels Tefillin as 6th-century Egyptian amulet

Tefillin But Not those REFERRED in Article
Now the bastards want to say that tfillin is an "Egyptian Amulet" .... they have been asked to label it correctly for over a year ... but the well fed bureaucrats sipping tea in their leather chairs don't care about Jews ... even though most of the MET donations are supported by Jewish money .... just walk thru the halls of the museum and you will see practically all the donors are Jewish ...

The first time the Metropolitan Museum of Art tweeted a picture that appeared unmistakably to Jewish followers to be a ritual object used in Jewish prayer with the label “amulet,” a single follower responded with a correction.

“That is not an Amulet it is a Jewish tefillin,” wrote an account from a New York City rug gallery.

The object, which the Met says it acquired in 1962, is listed as part of the museum’s Islamic Art Department as a sixth-century amulet from Egypt. It is dated at A.D. 500–1000.

But a photo of the piece in the collection looks unmistakably like one piece of tefillin, the leather boxes and straps used in prayer by observant Jews. A shin, the Hebrew letter on the portion of tefillin that goes on the head, can be seen in the picture.

That was in November 2019. The second, third, fourth and fifth times the Islamic art collection shared the image, no one responded at all.

But over the weekend the image became the subject of an explosion of interest on Twitter after multiple accounts with many Jewish followers picked up on the item in the museum’s holdings and requested corrections.

One of the first to post it, a Jewish genealogist named Caitlin Hollander, offered a correction and tagged people who might be able to work with the Met to revise the museum’s description.

Other people who shared the image were less constructive in their criticism. And after the account @StopAntiSemites amplified the issue, criticism of the labeling included charges that the museum’s categorization was offensive to Jews.

The museum, which is currently closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, did not respond publicly over the weekend.

But Raphael Magarik, a English professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago whose studies have included the understanding of tefillin by non-Jews, posted a thread Sunday explaining that while the object pictured is likely mislabeled, there are historical arguments for the label.
“There’s no reason not to call tefillin an amulet,” Magarik wrote. “Lexically, the Greek term now commonly used to refer to them (‘phylactery’) originally meant just that, and had a long history of usage in that sense before referring to the specific Jewish items.”

He added that while tefillin have been invoked in anti-Semitic discourse in the past, the Met’s labeling more likely reflects how museums catalog objects.

"If There is a Second Holocaust, the Jewish Democrats Will Be to Blame" .. Laura Loomer

I had the honor of having a lovely conversation with Laura Loomer, a proud Jewish American woman who is running for the congressional seat in Florida’s 21st district.

At twenty-seven years old, she has become a prominent activist who hasn’t let her age nor the constant censorship deter her. Laura bravely advocates for Jewish values, which is why she is running for Congress. 

She is an educated woman who graduated from Barry University with a degree in broadcast journalism. This election will be the first time in American history in which two Jewish women will run against each other

Laura seeks office as a Republican not just because she supports several of Trump’s policies aimed at combating anti-Semitic narratives, particularly on college campuses, but because she knows the Jewish American community needs her. 

She understands that it is imperative to “boycott big tech because they are the major problem in the current rise of antisemitism.” 
“I want Jewish Americans to be a protected class. In the United States hate crime laws… they list ‘Jewish,’ as a race. Elected officials will be held accountable. I will also call out the systemic Jew Hatred that has become a major issue.”

Loomer says “It’s time for Jews to wake up!” 
She holds the conviction that the Democratic Party is the demise of American Jewry. Many of our Democratic Party leaders stand firmly against the Jewish community and the Jewish nation state, Israel. Far too few are condemning them.

More and More Jews Going and Davening on the "Har Ha'Bayis"


Most of my readers know my opinion on going up to Har Ha'bayis.....

A Frum Jew that has a Rav that says it's ok ... should absolutely go up ....and there are plenty of serious rabbanim, talmeidei chachamim, that allow it ... the Rambam went up and in fact he wrote a letter to his family on the day he stood on Har Habayis.. Another Rishon, the Meeri also wrote that one can go up to the Har Habayis... and the gemarrah itself records that Rebbe Akiva went up to the Har Habayis after the churban. ...
Why give sovereignty of this holy place to the arabs?
The UN ruled and the Obama/Biden administration abstained at that vote, that the Kotel doesn't belong to the Jewish people...
we must actively show that the Kotel and the Har Habyis belong to us and we are not relinquishing it to some murderers.
For those who are worried about "tumah" ... I am more concerned that there is a "tumedike" mosque on its site.. every single day, every second of the day..... 
Of course we cannot remove it now, but we shouldn't remove frum Jews that want to pay homage to our holy mountain either..

Tomorrow, Tuesday a few hundred heimishe and yeshivisha families will quietly go up to the Har Habyis with the blessings of many rabbanim..... 

If you feel you shouldn't go then stay home, don't musser those who have a heter from their Rav...
As we all know that there are frum chassidim today that say that you are not allowed to go to the Kotel.....let them daven on Rodney Street..
Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount, once a rare sight, has become commonplace, with the number of Jews visiting the holy site surging by several hundred percent in recent years.
Data on the annual number of Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount shows a consistent upward trend.

Chabad Lady Serves As A "sandik" by a Bris

The Rama rules in the Shulchan Aruch that a woman should preferably not serve as sandek at the bris (circumcision) of a baby if a man is available, due to it’s being considered immodest. 

In most cases this is not a practical question, as a quorum of at least ten men is present at most bris ceremonies. However the advent of coronavirus has led to unusual situations arising which call for unconventional solutions.

Mendy and Rivky Zaklas serve as Chabad shluchim (emissaries to the Jewish community) in the tiny Russian town of Bryansk. The Haredim10 site reports that Rivky Zaklas tries to call everyone on her contacts list on their birthday and wish them a happy birthday. A couple of months ago she called a young woman who had visited the Bryansk community a year or so beforehand but had never returned. When she called, the young woman told her that she is pregnant and would soon give birth to a baby boy.
Rivky offered to be available to help in whatever way she might need, especially in assisting preparations for the baby boy’s bris. This week the  woman called Rivky stating she had given birth to the baby and would like to make a bris for him. Her only stipulation was that because of the contagious nature of COVID-19, she wanted it to be very small with the only people present being the mohel Rabbi Zalkas and his wife Rivky.
This past Friday the bris took place and because Rabbi Zalkas was the mohel, and the father of the baby is not Jewish, Rivky Zalkas was appointed to be the sandek!
There are many new halachos being practised due to coronavirus such as porch minyanim and zoom brachos and condolence visits but a Chabad woman acting as sandek would have been unthinkable until now!
The story also underlines the power of one phone call. It is entirely possible that a young lady married to a gentile would not have considered circumcising her baby. Maybe she did not even know about the mitzvah. Rivky Zalkas simply called her up to say happy birthday and this led to one more Jewish child entering the covenant of Avraham.

"It's a Mitzvah to Hate These Rabbis" ... Yossie Mizrachi

So this "Holocaust Denier," the criminally insane vicious snake, says it's a "mitzvah to hate" these rabbis because they disagree with him.. ...and he posts a partial list ...
I don't even know many of those rabbis he lists, 
but he got himself a sidekick who is even more vicious and sicker than him, a guy who calls himself "Rabbi Yaron Reuven" who says it's all right to "execute them."


In a July 15 video on UTube, he barked against Lord Rabbi Sacks, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg insisting that they are evil and heretics. This bon-fide lunatic has a special place in hell for Dr. Rabbi Slifkin, and declares that those who challenge his lectures deserve execution -

Back to Mizrachi.....my readers should know that not only is he human garbage, but a sick sexual pervert to boot.
  • He compares “non-virgin women” to an opened bottle of coke. What Rabbi speaks this way?
  •  He says with cockiness that women that were not religious deliberately posed naked in front of the Nazi cameras just minutes before they were gassed ...GEVALD, could even the devil himself come up with such a twisted evil obscenity ?
Covid-19 has brought out these dangerous lunatics from their caves ...

Rabbi Daniel Green Prohibits Wearing a Mask on Shabbos Where There Is no Eirav

I don't know who this guy is, but he seems to be a Talmud Chachim, but that doesn't rule out that he is not only crazy but dangerous...

In his blog he posts a very lengthy pilpul why one is prohibited to wear a mask on Shabbos where there is no Eirav and says that if you are afraid of the virus then "you should sit home."

He also mocks the wearing of the mask anytime and anywhere, and says that wearing the masks have absolutely no effect on the virus, and it was instituted by the government for the sole purpose of scaring the masses.

ללבוש מסכה לפרצוף בזמנינו זה, להראות שישנו עדיין פחד ממשי מווירוס מסוכן, בה בשעה שהמסכה לא מהווה שמירה מהווירוס עבור אדם הלובש אותה, לדעת רופאים מומחים וחכמים הכי מופלאים והכי בקיאים בחכמת אפידמיולוגיה (תורת המחלות המגפתיות) כנ"ל. אלא שכוונת חוק או זהירות במסכות בפרהסיה כרגע היא לכאורה להגביר הפחד הכללי לתושבי המדינה כשיסתכלו על ההמון מכוסי פנים במסכה ויזכר כאו"א שיש לו לפחד עדיין, שלא ינוח מלירא מהווירוס הנורא וימשיך להיזהר ממנו בכל מיני זהירות דאגה ומורא, נמצא שכל תכלית הלבישה היא "לעשות מורא לתינוקות", או לפעוטות בדעת עכ"פ, הצריכים להפחדות לעוררם על זהירות נקיון כו'. וכמו"ש הרב אריאל בתשובתו הנ"ל (בהשתדלותו למצוא סיבה שמסכה מועילה גם להלובש עצמו, להצדיק חישובה כתכשיט להלובש) - שלבישת מסכה מזכירה לכל אדם העומד סביבו שעליו להזהר ממנו, ולא להתקרב וח"ו להעביר וכו' - דהיינו, להפחיד.

וי"ל ג"כ בנ"ד - דאין להפחיד בני ישראל, ועל כן י"ל שאין לצאת לרה"ר במסכות קורונה, הפרמי של זמננו, אף בחול.
I am not going to go into his lengthy flawed reasoning on so many levels ... (you can see it for yourself as I provided a link.)
Suffice it say that he first tries to compare it to a "purim mask" that he says cannot be worn on shabbos in a place with no eiruv, and says that this mask is far worse halachically since the "purim mask" covers the entire face while this covers only the mouth and nose .
and adds that one shouldn't be scaring Jews anyway..

Norman Rosenbaum 63 Close Friend of DIN ... Passes On!


(collive.com) -
Reb Norman Rosenbaum, z”l, a lawyer in Melbourne, Australia, who became known for his struggle for justice for the murder of his brother Yankel, Hy”d, during the Crown Heights riots in 1991, passed away on Shabbos at the age of 63.
DIN: These is especially hard on me as I was a close friend of his for the last 30 years, and knew his brother, Yankel, well......
On August 19, 1991, hundreds of black men began rioting in Crown Heights. As the NYPD stood down – ordered by New York City Mayor David Dinkins to allow the gangs to “vent” – mobs began vandalizing Jewish homes, businesses and cars. Late that night, a bloodthirsty mob of 30 black men found what they were looking for: a Jewish man, walking down the street. Yankel Rosenbaum, a 29-year-old Lubavitcher chassid from Melbourne, Australia, was turning the corner of Union Street and New York Ave. when he encountered the violent gang. Rosenbaum tried fleeing toward Lubavitch headquarters on 770 Eastern Parkway, but he never made it. On the corner of President Street and Brooklyn Ave., in front of the St. Marks School, the gang caught him and attacked him. One of the youths, 16-year-old Lemrick Nelson, Jr., stabbed Rosenbaum.

Yankele Deutsch From Williamsburg Goes Into A Meltdown Over a Parking Spot Calling a Firefighter a N----r!

A Hasidic man, in a racist meltdown over a parking space outside a Brooklyn firehouse, slammed his car door into a Black firefighter’s knee and called the man a “n-----” before fleeing the ugly scene, authorities said Friday.
The hate-fueled motorist slapped another firefighter’s arm and blocked a firetruck inside the bays at Engine Company 211-Ladder Company 119 on Hooper St. in South Williamsburg during his rampage as the Bravest squared off with the unhinged man last Sunday, according to officials.

Jacob Deutsch, 55, allegedly hurled the racial epithet at the 42-year-old firefighter and threatened to “go to war” against the man’s colleagues after he was threatened with a summons for pulling his brand new Acura in a spot reserved for FDNY vehicles.

But authorities said Deutsch did not go quietly.

“Hey a-------, don’t write a ticket!” he screamed during the 10 a.m. confrontation, according to court papers. As he pulled out of the first spot, Deutsch then parked directly outside the firehouse’s bay doors, blocking a fire truck that was pulled outside to be washed. He then allegedly exited the vehicle to threaten the firefighters.

“If you want to go to war we can go to war!” Deutsch screamed, according to court papers. “I can have 300 Hasidic men on the block in an hour!”

Deutsch slapped a firefighter’s arm before climbing behind the wheel and opened the car door as he drove off, deliberately striking the firefighter in the leg, officials charged. The FDNY employee was briefly hospitalized with injuries to his knee, hamstring and thigh, officials said.

The suspect drove down the street, abandoned the vehicle and fled inside a nearby community center. Cops identified Deutsch through his license plate, and he surrendered Thursday with his lawyer at a downtown Brooklyn police precinct.

The suspect was charged with assault, menacing, obstructing government administration, leaving the scene of an accident and other offenses.

While he dropped an N-bomb during the clash, he was not arrested on hate crime charges because his actions were not motivated by racial hatred, a law enforcement source said. A Brooklyn Criminal Court judge ordered him held on $35,000 at his late Thursday arraignment.

Deutsch’s wife insisted the entire incident was overblown and laid the blame on firefighters for instigating the argument.
“Those (firefighters) are acting very, very immature,” she told the Daily News. “They grew up to be what they wanted but they did not grow up in maturity.“They do whatever they like,” she said about the firefighters. “They have the upper hand, but they are human just like us.”

Ami and Mishpacha Feature "Frum Jewish Rat " Aaron Keyak

Just last week we posted the disturbing news about Aaron Keyak, a frum Jew joining the Biden campaign.

Well this week two frum Jewish popular magazines featured this "conniving sneak" in their magazines.

Aaron, a snot nose arrogant traitor who had previously worked with Hussain Obama's reelection campaign joined the Biden campaign to serve as the campaign's director of Jewish outreach.

Both magazines quote Kayak saying:
"I want to wake up the day after Election Day, look at my three-year old daughter, and then look at myself in the mirror and know that I did everything I could to ensure that Trump does not get a second term."

He wants to be able to look in the mirror, knowing that he overthrew the best friend the Jewish people ever had in the White House.... and that his three year-old daughter should be proud of that!

How do the publishers of Ami and Mishpacha look in the mirror after featuring an article that attacks a sitting president, who is trying his best to work hand in hand with the only Jewish State? 
A man who is from "the chaseedei umos ha'olam" who closed the Palestinian offices in Washington, called Hezbollah a terrorist organization,  moved the American Embassy to Yerushalyim and freed Rubashkin.

Keyak told the two gullible magazines that he is targeting Jews in Florida .... 
In other words, he is going to target Holocaust survivors and elderly Jews to vote for someone who as senator and member of the foreign relations committee threatened Israel on numerous occasions to cut off aid. He is going to encourage elderly Jews to vote for a guy who refuses to allow Jews to build in their own sovereign country..... 
He is going to encourage naive Jews of Florida to vote for a guy who when he was Vice President, his administration abstained from a UN vote that ultimately passed, which stated that the Kotel , Kever Rachel and Mearis Ha'machpilah have no connection to the Jewish people. This rat will be targeting and encouraging his fellow Jews to vote for a guy who was endorsed by Ilhan Omar, Tlaib and AOC and who thinks that American children need to learn more about Islam.

Keyak is quoted by theses magazines as saying:
"When he's (Biden) wearing a kippah, and he's visiting for a shivah, you almost want to count him for a minyan." 
How insane is this comment? By a "shivah" we would want to count this guy for a "minyan." So that's why Jews should vote for this pathetic creature?

And why are "Torah" publications giving this back-stabbing dangerous twerp a forum? .... 

Haven't we learned anything from the Ezra Friedlanders, the Jewish Capos that wrote Op-Eds in these magazines convincing Holocaust survivors that the Iran deal was a good thing for the Jews? 
Haven't we learned that voting for self-hating Jews like the Nadlers is not getting us anywhere?

Question:
How many "Benjamins" did Ami & Mishpacha get to write this unmitigated trash?

KAJ "The YEKKEH" Hashgacha Thinks Empire Chicken Is Not Kosher Enough


You would think that at least the "yekkes" would be straightforward, honest and "punktlich" after all they "shtam" from the civilized Germans...

Empire Chickens has had in the past, in addition to the "german" hechsher, the OU, and Rabbi Babad from Tartikoff... 
and R' Aron Teitelbaum the Nirbarter who oversees the Alle Processing plant ....

So instead of leaving quietly, the Germans spread evil propaganda about Empire on the way out the door, during the nine days..
I love all these "inspirational" messages from the greatest speakers who would not, chas ve'sholom" speak about what's really going on and what's really destroying the world..
they want DIN to do their dirty work ..... 
I'm getting sick and tired of this..

Gerer Child Thrown Out of Kindergarten Because the Father Belongs to the Break Off

In a world gone mad, bullies of the Gerer Rebbe, decided to teach R' Leizer Adler a lesson, throwing out his five-year-old child from Gan..because he is from the opposing  "Roshe Yeshiva's Faction," 

Was the child sick from covid? No
Was he unruly? No
Did he bring a gun to school? No
Was the child a Bobover or a Satmar Chusid? No
Was he Jewish ? Yes 
So what was his crime? .... 
That he happens to be the son of someone who belongs to the same religion and the same chassidus...
but is following a Rosh Yeshivah instead of the Rebbe...

These are the Chassidim that learn Torah day and night...and even take a break during davening to learn ...
?זו תורה וזו שכרה .......

I am sure that the guys that ordered this "selection" say everyday the Ani Maamin .. that they believe with "complete amunah" in the coming of Moshiach ...but they are a bunch of liars ..

I have an idea... for the "Gerer Fighters" ...
Join the army .... and you can fight the Arabs instead of other Jews!

Guy "one-punches" a tourist in NYC to Death and Walks... No Jail Time


Victim on the left ... Murderer on your right
Notice the murderer is wearing a nice suit .... I find it hilarious when newspapers show photos of murderers in their graduation gowns or walking their puppies......
What a world we live in..
The former Wake Forest basketball coach whose knockout punch led to the death of a Florida tourist in Queens two years ago avoided jail time at his sentencing on Thursday.
Jamill Jones, 37, will serve three years of probation, 1,500 hours of community service and pay a fine of $1,000 in the August 2018 death of Boca Raton resident Sandor Szabo.
Jones had faced up to a year in prison after being found guilty in February of assault in the third degree.
Then an assistant to Danny Manning at the ACC basketball program, Jones had slugged Szabo in the head for drunkenly banging on his car in Long Island City.
Szabo — an online-marketing exec who had earlier in the day attended his stepsister’s wedding — was looking for his ride-share vehicle when he knocked on Jones’ window, his family has said.
The former college hoops coach pursued Szabo and socked him once in the face.
