Protest tonight in kiryas Yoel. Help malky get her get

Test tonight in kiryas yoel 

Why this nation is unique

I want to share this incredible story for this video, which shows how amazing is Am Isreal: (I got it from someone)

My friend Sarah’s son served in the IDF when he was a teenager. Since then he got married, they had 6 children and moved to Crown Heights.

When the war broke out on October 7th, he told his wife that if he gets a call from the army that he has to go do reserve duty. He has a wife and six kids, so he’s exempt from serving.. But he felt the calling. He felt this is something he has to do.

He got drafted for reserve duty. And he’s been there since October 9th. And then a week ago he was told that in two weeks he’s getting three weeks off.

Wow. He still hasn’t been home. But instead of going home, he really wanted to bring his wife and children to Israel.

That means seven tickets, and money is scarce. So he made some calls and he was told that he can get 25% off each ticket on El Al. But that’s still a whopping amount of money. Remember, he hasn’t worked since October the 7th! So he decided he can’t do it. He decides maybe he’ll fly home to visit his family instead.

That night, his friends told him that at a certain restaurant in Jerusalem soldiers eat for free. So off he and his friends went to the restaurant, and they were sitting and eating a wonderful meal when he saw the 2 men who were treating all the soldiers to this incredible meal in the back of the restaurant.

Being a very good-natured fellow, he walked over to them like a mensch, and said, “Thank you so much for this incredible meal.”

And one said: “Take some food home for your wife.”

And he said: I’d love to, but she’s in America with my six kids.

Well, here's an update:

Then they asked him, when was the last time you saw them? So he told them his story that he wanted to bring them over, but he couldn’t afford it.

They looked at each other, these two fellows, and they said: Your tickets are covered.

The soldier didn’t believe it. But they insisted: “Go call your wife! Tell her to start getting ready. Our treasurer will call you in the morning.”

I have tears in my eyes sharing this story with you, and I’ve told it so many times, and it still moves me.

Then they said: Do you have a place for them to stay? He said, No. They said: We have an apartment in Har Nof. They can stay there for the whole visit, no problem. And they’re giving them some extra funds for spending money during their trip.

Incredible. Incredible. No words.

Malky’s get. Volvy confronted and his mother abuses the woman requesting get.

How the war in Gaza impacted Michigan’s primary — and what that portends for the general election

Organizers of the protest vote in the swing state primary say the president now knows he can’t count on thousands of key voters if he continues to support Israel

President Joe Biden’s supporters are trying to minimize the results of a protest vote in Michigan’s presidential primary over his stance on the Israel-Hamas war. 

More than 13% of Democrats marked “uncommitted” Tuesday. The “Listen to Michigan” campaign had asked Democrats to make that choice to show their frustration with Biden’s failure to endorse a ceasefire in the war. The vote in the critical swing state may prompt the president to more strongly pressure Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu to halt Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

But the vote won’t hurt Biden’s chances in November, said many of the president’s allies.

“It matters if people are expressing themselves in ways that suggest they are going to walk away,” David Axelrod, a Democratic strategist and former adviser to President Barack Obama, said on CNN. “It’s one thing to register your discontent with the president in a primary. It’s another thing in a race against Donald Trump.” Former President Donald Trump, who lost to Biden in 2020, is seeking a second term. 

Organizers of the protest vote had said they wanted at least 10,000 Democrats to vote “uncommitted” — which has long been an option on Michigan ballots. But the count showed the campaign had surpassed that goal even before polls closed at 9 p.m.

‘Friction’ among Democrats

With 98% of the ballots counted, “uncommitted” received 100,960 votes. Listen to Michigan supporters said Biden should understand those votes as a rebuke. He disregards Arab Americans and progressives in Michigan at his electoral peril, they said.

“Our movement emerged victorious tonight and massively surpassed our expectations,” said Layla Elabed, the protest campaign’s manager. “Tens of thousands of Michigan Democrats, many of whom voted for Biden in 2020, are uncommitted to his re-election due to the war in Gaza.”

Michigan is home to the largest Arab American population in the nation.

Since oct 7 many asking what happened and no answers. From the forward

Almost 5 months after Oct. 7, my Israeli brother-in-law still wonders ‘what the hell happened?’

Far from recovered after the Hamas attack, the residents of the Negev are dealing with a ‘post-post traumatic’ new reality

My brother-in-law, David Levy, lives on a kibbutz just 20 miles from Gaza. He’s lost count of how many funerals and shiva calls he’s attended since Oct. 7. 

But he vividly remembers one of them.

“It was for one of my farm managers who lost his son in the IDF,” he told me during a long WhatsApp video call. “I got in the car and turned to my colleague and said, ‘I hope this is the last time I have to pay a shiva call for a soldier in this war.’ And he said, ‘It’s not going to be the last time.’ And I just lost it. I just cried.”

David paused, revisiting the emotion. “And it’s not been the last time,” he said.

I last wrote about David on Oct. 7. We spoke on the evening of the Hamas attack, which was then still ongoing. It was morning in Los Angeles, and in my column posted the same day, he told me about the non-stop barrage of rockets that had landed near Kibbutz Mishmar HaNegev, his home for 47 years. He expressed the raw anger so many Israelis felt.

 

“This is such a colossal failure,” he said at the time, “a colossal political failure, diplomatic failure, intelligence failure and military failure, colossal like the Yom Kippur War.”

I had asked him what he thought Israel would do.

“Obviously, Israel is going to make sure that Hamas pays a very, very, very big price on what happened,” he said — which turned out to be an understatement. “But I don’t know what that means, because I don’t know what the goal is.”

Now, almost five months since Hamas terrorists crossed over from Gaza, killed almost 1,200 people and took another 250 hostage, David still isn’t sure what the government’s goals are. To destroy Hamas militarily? To rule Gaza? And then what? 

But he knows what he wants: security.

 

“We need to know that it’s safe,” he said. “Not a feeling of safe, not them telling us it’s safe, but actually safe.”

No safety to be found

The feeling of safety that Oct. 7 shattered hasn’t returned, David said. In the north, one of his daughters, a Ph.D. in environmental science, had her research lab in Kiryat Shmona shut down due to Hezbollah rocket attacks. Many of her team members have been called up to military service. 

In the south, the kibbutzim along the Gaza border are still largely empty of inhabitants.  

“I was there this week, and I can tell you, it’s still not safe,” he said, speaking from his kibbutz home just a few miles away.

Harvard is losing Jewish donations. Mulling bond raise

Amid turmoil over antisemitism and a decline in donations, Harvard mulls a bond sale

As it grapples with a donor backlash over its handling of antisemitism on campus, Harvard University is considering a $1.65 billion bond sale.

With interest rates high, this is a generally poor time to sell bonds, and the sale would contribute significantly to the university’s debt. But the sale would give the university an infusion of cash. Harvard did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the potential sale or how it would use the money.

One of Harvard’s most outspoken critics on antisemitism, hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, tweeted that turmoil over antisemitism isn’t the only reason Harvard is mulling the sale, which would occur over the next two months. He wrote that Harvard also failed to predict a “dramatic decline in donations.”

“I expect that alumni donations won’t be coming back for some time,” he added. 

After the start of the Israel-Hamas war, billionaire Len Blavatnikand other wealthy Harvard alumni announced they would no longer give to the school in response to what they considered its failure to confront rising antisemitism on campus. More than 2,000 Jewish alumni of the elite university formed a group in November to press for a more robust response to antisemitism, with at least 240 pledging to donate only $1 to Harvard to express their disappointment.

 

Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned in January in response to accusations that she had plagiarized parts of her scholarly work. But her departure also followed her testimony about antisemitism on campus before a congressional committee in December, which even some of her supporters panned as overly lawyerly and insensitive.

Harvard has convened several task forces to grapple with antisemitism since the university erupted in protests after Oct. 7, when Hamas attacked Israel, prompting Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. But several high-profile members have resigned from those committees, reportedly in frustration.

Lady donates 1 billion dollars

• Ruth Gottesman is donating her late husband's $1 billion in Berkshire stock to a Bronx medical school.

• The donation is set to cover students' tuition in perpetuity.

• A video posted Monday shows students cheering and crying when they hear the news.

When the 96-year-old Ruth Gottesman's husband died in 2022, he left behind something that surprised even his wife: $1 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock.

"He left me, unbeknownst to me, a whole portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock," Gottesman told The New York Times. Her husband's only instructions? "Do whatever you think is right with it," she told the outlet.

At first, Gottesman couldn't decide what to do with the massive bequest, but after her children advised her not to wait too long, she had a realization, The New York Times reported.

She would donate the money in full to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York City's poorest borough, the Times reported.

"I wanted to fund students at Einstein so that they would receive free tuition," she told the Times.

Her gift is so large that it's set to cover students' tuition for the medical school in perpetuity, the college said in a press release.

"This is a monumental day for our affiliated medical school and for values-based medical education," Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, the president of Yeshiva University, said in a statement shared with Business Insider.

All current fourth-year students are set to be reimbursed for their spring 2024 tuition, the school said, and beginning in August, all current and future students will attend for free.

Gottesman broke the news to the current students in person on Monday morning. The second the words "tuition-free" came out of her mouth, students in the auditorium erupted into cheers, clapping and jumping out of their seats, with some crying, a video from the school's hospital affiliate, Montefiore Health System, shows.

Convicted Ponzi Schemer and Alleged Conspirator Indicted for Multimillion-Dollar Fraud Scheme and Obstruction of Justice

For Immediate Release

U.S. Attorney's Office, District of New Jersey

NEWARK, N.J. – A New Jersey man whose 24-year federal prison sentence was commuted after being twice convicted of defrauding investors of a total of $230 million was indicted today with one other conspirator in another fraud scheme, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced.

The indictment charges Eliyahu “Eli” Weinstein, aka Mike Konig, 48, and Aryeh “Ari” Bromberg, 49, with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, four counts of wire fraud, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Three of Weinstein and Bromberg’s alleged conspirators, Christopher Anderson, 47, Richard Curry, 36, and Alaa Mohamed Hattab, 35, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and are awaiting sentencing. Charges via criminal complaint are still pending against two of Weinstein and Bromberg’s alleged conspirators, Joel Wittels and Shlomo Erez.

“A federal grand jury in New Jersey has charged Weinstein and Bromberg with defrauding victim investors out of tens of millions of dollars. As alleged, soon after Weinstein got out of jail after receiving a Presidential commutation, he picked his Ponzi schemer’s playbook back up and allegedly started ripping off victims again. Weinstein allegedly used a fake name and worked with Bromberg and others to falsely promise access to deals involving scarce medical supplies, baby formula, and first-aid kits supposedly destined for wartime Ukraine. Weinstein didn’t try to make his prior victims whole – he made more victims, as alleged in the indictment. This office will aggressively investigate and prosecute fraudsters who allegedly prey on innocent investors.”

U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger

“The adage ‘history repeats itself’ proves true in the case we’ve built against Weinstein and his co-conspirators,” FBI – Newark Special Agent in Charge James E. Dennehy said. “We allege he persuaded investors to put money into several ventures, based on taking advantage of the COVID pandemic, the baby formula shortage, and even the war in Ukraine. Our investigation shows those ventures weren’t real, and to use the exact words the subjects used - it was a Ponzi scheme. Weinstein squandered his pardon from the highest office in this country for similar criminal behavior. He now faces justice, a second time.”

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

Weinstein was convicted two times in New Jersey federal court for defrauding investors. His first case involved a real estate Ponzi scheme, and his second case stemmed from additional fraud Weinstein committed while on pretrial release. For these crimes, which resulted in combined losses to investors of approximately $230 million, Weinstein was sentenced to serve 24 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. On Jan. 19, 2021, after Weinstein had served less than eight years, the President of the United States at that time commuted Weinstein’s term to time served, leaving intact the rest of his sentence.

Soon after being released from prison, Weinstein began orchestrating a new scheme to solicit money from investors through a company called Optimus Investments Inc. (Optimus). Using the fake name “Mike Konig,” Weinstein ran Optimus with Bromberg and Wittels. They kept Weinstein’s true name and identity hidden because, as Weinstein acknowledged in a secretly recorded conversation, investors wouldn’t give them “a penny” if they learned of Weinstein’s involvement.

Weinstein, Bromberg, and Wittels received the bulk of investor money through a second company, Tryon Management Group LLC, which was owned and controlled by Anderson and Curry. Tryon promised these individual investors – consisting mostly of friends and family – lucrative opportunities to invest in deals involving COVID-19 masks, scarce baby formula, and first-aid kits supposedly bound for wartime Ukraine. Posing as Mike Konig, Weinstein provided the information for these supposed deals. Based on that information, investors gave money to Tryon, believing the deals were legitimate and not knowing about Weinstein’s involvement. In turn, Tryon transferred those funds to Weinstein, through Optimus.

What’s wrong with our Rabbis. Where is Yosher

 

NOISE   YOSHER  PROTEST   WHERE IS RESPECT FOR WOMEN

 

Where is the noise? Where are the protests? Where is the Yosher? Where is the fairness?
Our communities are being battered by skyrocketing numbers of divorces. Schools are having to cope with children who cannot comprehend why their father’s hate their mother’s, and the same in reverse
Many times, the behavior of one parent contradicts that is being taught in the classroom. As a community we should be in crisis mode to deal with this increasing phenomena.

 

There was a time when the title “Rabbi” was synonymous with integrity. Without going into detail [and all of this information is easily documented] ask a divorced woman if they were told that the Get would be forthcoming if only, they pay exorbitant sums of dollars to their future ex or the Rabbi/Beth .Ask how many have been asked by the “ Rabbi”, “just spend an afternoon with me…”, to help expedite the process. One young lady, responded to the “ rabbi’s ”request by saying yes, with a single stipulation. That the afternoon be on the steps of his so-called synagogue.
I salute the brave women have threatened to, or have gone public, using shaming as a method to make the Get With holder, step up to the plate

 

Rabbis who are honest and men of integrity, some of them are my friends, have told me of the horror stories many of the women have encountered in attempting to procure a Get.
Throughout Jewish history we were always considered leaders in matrimonial harmony, and also in the area of respecting women. If and when a marriage didn’t work out, the Beth din arranged for a Get to be given. Both parties then went on with their individual lives. Rabbis and communities who condone the husband with holding the giving of a Get, should be ostracized. Crushing a Jewish woman is not part of the Jewish lexicon. Jewish women have rights. Things may not always turn out to be completely fair, but husbands are not the only ones to have it their way before giving a Get. It is a sad time when our clergy and Beth dins have to be reminded that being just and fair is also an integral part of Jewish law. Our children need the loving embrace of two parents, and when the Beth din encourages and supports the Get giver to hold out for whatever reason, it is wrong.
This process, in addition to being cruel, also messes up the children involved.
Recently, two cases, one in Lakewood and one in Monroe, have received media attention. To date only one case is been resolved. The other has been moved to the police for investigation for the actions carried out by so-called pious men on behalf of the Non Get Giver. Shame on them.
Without getting into the murky details of why these things occur, and how they occur, it is worth noting that Shaddchanim are obligated to do due diligence about the mental state of the parties, and above all to be truthful.
The Shaddchan’s “If I had only known” excuse is just that. It is not an answer. It is a lie.
Our Yeshivas must do a much better job with premarital counseling. Rabbi should insist that couples go through premarital counseling before they perform marriage ceremonies. When one goes on vacation one packs a bag. Surely, when preparing for a lifelong trip one has to make all kinds of preparations. Unfortunately, experience has taught us as a society that book knowledge does not prepare young people in the areas of life skills, compatibility, and caring for one’s partner in married life.
More to come….
