BDS Founder Omar Barghouti: “It’s Okay To Use Israeli COVID-19 Vaccine”

April 8, 2020 12:00 pm 1 Comment

Omar Barghouti, the founder of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, said that if Israel invents a vaccine for the coronavirus, BDS supporters who reject normalization with Israel can be given the vaccine, a JTA report said on Monday. Barghouti spoke about the issue during an Arabic-language webinar on Facebook Live on Sunday entitled: “BDS And Anti-Normalization: The Most Important Strategies To Fight Against The Deal Of The Century, Even In The Time Of COVID-19.” Always true to his values (except when inconvenient), Barghouti said that BDS supporters shouldn’t think that the coronavirus crisis is a good rationale for Israel to maintain relations with the Palestinian Authority or Arab countries. Barghouti continued to say that this policy applies not just to the current crisis, but applies in general to using any Israeli medical breakthrough since they could be life-saving. “If Israel finds a cure for cancer, for example, or any other virus, then there is no problem in cooperating with Israel to save millions of lives,” Barghouti said. “Up until now, we have not been in a situation where we need Israel urgently and no one else can save us but Israel. If that will happen, saving lives is more important than anything else.” Obviously “life-saving” is referring only to Arab lives since BDS supporters generally don’t seem to be concerned about Jewish lives. Omar Barghouti himself is part of the extended Barghouti clan, a name that may be familiar to readers due to the clan members’ infamy for carrying a series of terrorist attacks against Israel for decades. In December 2018, two Barghouti brothers carried out separate terrorist attacks, the Ofra and Givat Assaf terrorist attacks. Saleh Omar Barghouti, 29, shot and injured seven Israelis at a bus stop near Ofra, including shooting a pregnant young woman and her husband. The woman gave birth prematurely and the baby died three days later. As’asm Barghouti, 32, murdered two IDF soldiers at Givat Assaf and critically wounded another soldier. The father of the brothers, Hamas leader Omar Barghouti, who bears the same name as the BDS founder, spent more than 25 years in Israeli prison for his role in terrorism and murder.” BDS founder Omar Barghouti was born in Qatar and currently lives in Akko, Israel as a permanent resident of Israel thanks to his marriage to an Israeli Arab. And it seems when it comes to education, Barghouti has the same hypocritical attitude that he does toward medical assistance – he has a Masters degree from Tel Aviv University despite calling for a total boycott of Israel, including its academics. He is still studying at Tel Aviv University for his PHD. Barghouti has been denied entry to the United States and the UK for his role as BDS movement founder. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

9 Swedish Jews Die Amidst Europe’s Laxest Covid-19 Regulations

April 6, 2020 8:00 am No Comments

The death rate among Swedish Jews is 14 times higher than that of the general population, comprising 2.7% of the almost 400 people in Sweden who have died as a result of the coronavirus, a JTA report said on Motzei Shabbos. The Jewish community in Sweden numbers about 20,000 Jews, about 0.19% of Sweden’s population of about 10 million. Aron Szugalski Verständig, president of the Council of Swedish Jewish Communities, said he is unaware of any explanation for the disproportionately high death rate in the Jewish community, saying that the victims, most of whom were older than 80 and many whom were Holocaust survivors, contracted the virus independently of each other. Sweden is currently the European country with the loosest coronavirus restrictions. Although the government did take some precautions such as recommending that citizens observe social distancing, non-essential businesses are still open including bars, restaurants, gyms and beauty parlors. Even elementary schools are still open although high schools did close last week. The government has recently banned crowds of over 50 people, reducing the limit from the previous number of 500, and has instructed senior citizens and those with preexisting health conditions to stay at home. Sweden’s policy is similar to that of England two weeks ago but whereas England quickly backtracked on its policy when it understood the staggering amount of estimated fatalities that would take place, Sweden persisted in its policy, with experts claiming that there is little connection between closed schools and borders and medical safety. The policy has widespread support from the Swedish public who apparently trust the experts. Other Swedish experts disagree with the government’s policy, fearing that it is based on the opinions of experts used to drawing conclusions from evidence-based research, which in the case of the coronavirus in largely unavailable and unreliable and bemoaning the high toll of deaths it may incur. The government is also apparently beginning to rethink its policy, with a news report on Sunday saying that the government is advancing a proposal to increase its power to impose emergency measures without the approval of parliament. A tragic twist to the dilemma is that despite Sweden’s reluctance to impose a lockdown due to fear of the economic consequences, the fact that most of the world is in lockdown had already made inroads into the Swedish economy, which is showing signs of sinking into a severe recession.

Antwerp: 1st Coronavirus Fatality In Frum Kehilla Is Meir Mishka Elyashkov, 64

March 25, 2020 11:16 pm No Comments

The first victim of the coronavirus in the Antwerp community was Meir Mishka Elyashkov, 64, of the Georgian kehilla, There are currently 4,937 cases of the coronavirus in Belgium and 178 fatalities. Leaders of the Jewish community have predicted that the coronavirus will be contracted by 85% of the community, a higher number than experts have predicted for the general population, due to the Belgian Jewish community’s close-knit ties. Michael Freilich, a frum politician from Antwerp told JTA that Jews may suffer a higher infection rate “because Antwerp Jews all know each other, each synagogue is an extended family.” “If the average Belgian person has a circle of 15 close friends and family,” he said, “then with Antwerp Jews it’s 150 people.” The Belgian government ordered a partial lockdown on its citizens on Monday.

Syrian Refugee Donates Tree To Israel in Honor of Italian Bar Mitzvah That Was Disrupted By Coronavirus

March 4, 2020 12:30 pm No Comments

A Muslim man from Syria, who is currently living in Canada, has donated a tree in Israel in honor of a Jewish boy’s bar mitzvah. Aboud Dandachi is a refugee from Syria who came to Canada in 2017 as part of the refugee resettlement program. When he read a story that appeared in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) about an Italian boy, Ruben Golran, whose bar mitzvah was hampered due to the rapid spread of the Coronavirus in Italy, he responded by donating a tree for $18 to the Canadian branch of the Jewish National Fund. The tree will now be planted in Israel in honor of Ruben. Dandachi who is 43-years-old and lives in Toronto told the JTA that, “This is what I know how to do. I’ve had friends in Canada, Jewish friends who have children, and they seem to appreciate it. That’s how I know how to commemorate such an occasion.” Dandachi has had previous experience supporting Israel. In 2013 Dandachi fled Syria and since then has been an outspoken supporter of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Dandachi founded an organization called Thank You Am Israel in appreciation of Israeli efforts to aid Syrian refugees. Dandachi even supports Netanyahu’s plan to annex parts of Judea and Samaria.

Iceland’s Jewish Community Celebrates Its First Sefer Torah

February 25, 2020 5:45 pm No Comments

The Jewish community in Iceland joyfully held a hachnasas Sefer Torah last week in the capital city of Reykjavík for the Nordic country’s first permanent Torah, a JTA report said. For a country in which shechita has been illegal for decades and has made headlines in the Jewish press for its proposal to criminalize circumcision in recent years, a Sefer Torah is really something to rejoice about. The final letters of the Sefer Torah, which was donated to the Jewish community by Uri Krauss of Zurich, Switzerland, were written in the home of the Jewish U.S. ambassador to Iceland, Jeffrey Ross Gunter. Mazel tov to Iceland's Jewish community & @ChabadIceland celebrating the arrival of Iceland's first-ever Sefer Torah! A historic evening witnessing some final inscriptions to this sacred Jewish text. Congratulations to Rabbi Feldman! Jewish life is alive & well in Iceland! 🇺🇸 🇮🇸 pic.twitter.com/xz2XvxZfwV — Ambassador Carrin F. Patman (@USAmbIceland) February 13, 2020 The Torah was then brought, with much joyous singing and dancing, to the Reykjavík Chabad center, the first Jewish institution and shul in Icelandic history. Rabbi Avi and Mushky Feldman have been serving as the Chabad shlichim in the island country since February 2018 and opened the Chabad center and shul. When Rabbi Feldman began serving as the shul’s Rav, he shattered Reykjavík’s status of being the last major European capital without a rabbi. Although Iceland’s Jewish community is tiny, about 250 if you count university students and staff, there is a booming tourist industry and in fact, Iceland is one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world. There are three direct flights a week to Iceland from Israel. Mushky was born and raised in Sweden so her familiarity with Scandinavian culture is a great asset to her work in the community. However, Mushky said that although she speaks Swedish and Icelandic is said to be Old Swedish, she cannot understand Icelandic. Icelandic is known as one of the hardest languages in the world to learn, partially due to its archaic grammar. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

German Comedian Who Tearfully Apologizes For Father’s Nazi Crimes Is Attacked By Neo-Nazis [VIDEO]

February 13, 2020 5:00 pm No Comments

German comedian Atze Schröder, 54, tearfully apologized to Auschwitz survivor Eva Szepesi for his father’s war crimes on a talk show last week and was slammed on social media by far-right extremists, JTA reported. Schröder told Szepesi that his father, who was drafted by the Nazis in 1941 and served for four years, “did horrible things as a soldier…He told me about them later.” The comedian’s apology was a spontaneous one in response to Szepesi, 87, sharing her experiences in Auschwitz on the talk show for a broadcast marking 75 years since Auschwitz’s liberation. Visibly moved by Szepesi’s harrowing memories, Schröder told Szepesi that his father “would probably apologize if he was sitting here.” He then arose and extended his hand to Szepesi, saying: “I am sorry. We must never forget.” Wenn Atze Schröder mehr Empathie und Anstand hat als der halbe thüringische Landtag … https://t.co/EGcTxrhpvy — Andrej Reisin (@Andrejnalin77) February 7, 2020 Szepesi later said that she felt Schröder’s actions were “absolutely extraordinary.” Schröder also shared on the talk show that his grandmother and a few of his uncles committed suicide following the Nazis’ defeat. Following the talk show, Schröder became the object of vitriol by right-wing extremists on social media and was called “a mentally impotent rat” and an “embarrassing, disgusting slave to the system” among other terms not fit to print, the German RND news website reported. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4174&v=pIjTwLJ9uXM&feature=emb_logo (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

How Chabad Helped The Stranded Jewish Passengers In Iceland This Week [VIDEOS]

January 29, 2020 8:00 am 2 Comments

After a LOT Airlines flight was forced to unexpectedly land in Iceland due to an unruly passenger on Sunday night, some frum passengers passed the time by holding a kumzits. But eventually, the passengers, including 60 frum ones, were put up in a hotel for the night around midnight. The frum passengers contacted the closest shilichei Chabad, Rabbi Avi and Mushky Feldman, who have been living in Iceland’s capital city of Reykjavík since February 2018. The Feldmans traveled for 45 minutes to bring food to the passengers and made the round trip again on Monday morning, bringing a Sefer Torah for Shacharis of Rosh Chodesh Shevat as well as breakfast and lunch, a Collive report said. The passengers were scheduled to leave Iceland on Monday at about 5 p.m. So many people kept telling me, ‘I love Chabad,’ ‘I can’t believe you have this kind of Kosher food in Iceland,’ and ‘Mi K’amcha yisroel!’” Rabbi Feldman told COLlive. “It was an amazing Kiddush Hashem.” Iceland has a population of only 250 Jews. Shechita has been illegal in the country for decades and besides Chabad, there are no other shuls in the country. “The country actually has a lot more kosher products than many people realize,” Rabbi Feldman told JTA in 2018. “This is because the island depends on imports from Europe and the United States, “so this means you can find products with a kosher label in your average minimarket.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

CHABAD ON HIGH ALERT: Chabad Shluchim Warned To Be On “High Alert” After Soleimani’s Elimination

January 7, 2020 2:30 pm 3 Comments

Chabad shluchim around the world were warned to be on “high alert” following the elimination of Iran’s Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani, a JTA report said. The Chabad-Lubavitch Security Commission wrote an email after the US airstrike which killed Soleimani, warning that Chabad centers could be targeted by the Islamic Republic in retaliation attacks. The email was also published on a website for Chabad shluchim. “Soleimani’s death will likely mark a major escalation in a simmering conflict between the U.S. and Iran and there is a strong likelihood that Iran will retaliate whether directly or indirectly,” the email stated. “Although there is no information at this time to suggest a direct threat to Chabad centers as a result of this escalation, as in past conflicts, there exists a concern that the current situation and tensions could contribute to a heightened risk and threat environment for Jewish facilities and Chabad centers.” The risk of such attacks “may be exacerbated should military action escalate in coming days and weeks” and emissaries should “maintain a heightened awareness when out in public and in and around your Chabad House. Report any suspicious behavior or activity to the nearest law enforcement personnel.” The Chabad security commission was established following the 2008 attack on the Chabad center in Mumbai, which killed six Jews, including Rav Gabi and Rivky Hotlzberg, H’yd.

Church Of England Calls For Repentance For Christian Anti-Semitism Which Led To Holocaust

November 27, 2019 1:00 pm 1 Comment

A Church of England report released last week concluded that repentance is necessary for the centuries of Christian anti-Semitism which led to the Holocaust. The report, entitled “G-d’s Unfailing Word: Theological and Practical Perspectives on Christian-Jewish Relations” also said that Christians should understand the significance of Zionism for most Jews. “Christians have been guilty of promoting and fostering negative stereotypes of Jewish people that have contributed to grave suffering and injustice, the report says. “They therefore have a duty to be alert to the continuation of such stereotyping and to resist it.” The report added that the relationship between Christians and Jews is “a gift of G-d to the Church, to be received with care, respect and gratitude, so that we may learn more fully about G-d’s purposes for us and all the world.” Not all Jews were happy with the report – British Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis criticized it for its failure to condemn Christian attempts to convert Jews, a Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) report said. “Even now, in the 21st century, Jews are seen by some as quarry to be pursued and converted,” Rabbi Mirvis wrote. “The enduring existence within the Anglican Church of a theological approach that is permissive of this behavior does considerable damage to the relationship between our faith traditions, and, consequently, pursuing a comprehensive new Christian-Jewish paradigm in this context is exceptionally challenging.” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, responded to the Chief Rabbi’s criticism, saying he would take the “challenge of his afterword with immense seriousness” and reflect on “any sense that we target Jewish people,” the Jewish Chronicle (JC) reported.

Anne Frank’s Childhood Friend Describes “German Schindler” Who Saved Her And Countless Other Jews

November 19, 2019 11:30 pm No Comments

Laureen Nussbaum, 92, was born in the same city as her childhood friend, Anne Frank, in Frankfurt, Germany, and both girls moved with their families to the same neighborhood in Amsterdam as young children. But luckily for Nussbaum, in 1942, her life began following a different path than that of Frank. The Germans invaded Holland in 1940 and began deporting Jews in 1942. That summer, Anne Frank and her family went into hiding, which is when Frank wrote her diary, which later became world-famous. But Nussbaum, who was born as Hannelore Klein, continued to live openly with her family. The person who made that possible was Hans Calmeyer, a German lawyer who saved Nussbaum’s family and thousands of other Jewish families. Nussbaum, who wants to spread the word about Calmeyer’s heroism, recently wrote her memoir, “Shedding Our Stars: A Story of Hans Calmeyer and How He Saved Thousands of Families Like Mine” (written with Karen Kirtley). “So much has been made out of Schindler, who saved 1,200 Jews, and people really empathize with him and made him a hero,” Nussbaum told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “And I felt that Hans Calmeyer, who has saved more people, is too unknown in the world. There are books about him in Dutch and German, but nothing in English, except for a citation from Yad Vashem when he was declared a Righteous Among the Nations in 1992 — but that’s just four lines. And I thought it was time that people knew about him.” Oskar Schindler was a German factory owner who saved 1,200 Jews. His name became famous through Steven Speilberg’s movie “Schlinder’s List.” The little-known Calmeyer saved far more Jews than Schindler by using his status as a German lawyer to adjudicate cases for Jews whose Jewish origins were in doubt. He managed to convince his superiors that those whose grandparents could not be proven as Jewish should be able to declare themselves as non-Jews. “In two-thirds of the cases, he decided in favor of the petitioner, knowing that he was being cheated,” Nussbaum told JTA, which meant that whenever possible Calmeyer found a way for the petitioners to claim the status of non-Jews. “He allowed himself to be cheated.” Nussbaum’s family were legally declared non-Jews with the help of Calmeyer, which meant they were able to remove their yellow stars and live openly – avoiding deportation to a Nazi concentration camp and almost certain deaths. “It wasn’t true, my mother was half-Jewish,” Nussbaum said. “But once he had settled it, we were foolproof.” After the war was over, Nussbaum married Rudi Nussbaum and Anne’s father Otto, was the best man at her wedding. Otto Frank spent months after the war hoping his daughters Anne and Margot, who had been deported to Bergen Belsen, were still alive. He and Nussbaum’s husband, Rudi, who searching for his mother, would go together to the train station every day with pictures of their loved ones. “They showed those pictures and asked everyone, ‘Did you by chance know this woman? Did you know by chance know these girls?’” Nussbaum told the JTA. “And that’s how they bonded.” Unfortunately, neither of them succeeded in locating their relatives. Only 5,200 of the 100,000 Dutch Jews who were deported from the Netherlands survived. In 1954, the Nussbaums moved to

Photo Of The Belzer Rebbe ZATZAL That Was Sent To The Nazi Soldier

November 14, 2019 6:00 pm 7 Comments

A postcard with a previously unknown photo of the Belzer Rebbe parting from his chassidim at a train station in Marienbad during the Holocaust was recently discovered. The postcard, which has a Nazi postmark comprised of two swastikas and a German Reich stamp, was sent to a Nazi soldier serving in the Air Force in 1939, with a messaged typed on the back: “Allow me to send you warm greetings from Marienbad.” The signature is handwritten. Marienbad, a spa town currently part of the Czech Republic, had a small Jewish community of 450 Jews in the 1930s and was a popular health spa destination for Jewish visitors. In 1937, the third Kennesia HaGedolah of the Agudas Yisroel was held in the town. A local German photographer, Hans Lampalzer, who regularly photographed the rabbis who lived in or visited the town, snapped the photo of the fourth Belzer Rebbe, Rav Aharon Rokeach (1880 – 1957). A photo of the Belzer Rebbe was sent as a postcard to a Nazi soldier https://t.co/KcCrOOv9dt pic.twitter.com/arLkd711lx — JTA | Jewish news (@JTAnews) November 13, 2019 Although the image of the Belzer Rebbe at the train station is known through other postcards bearing photos by Lampalzer, this particular image was unknown and is a rare discovery. Some of Lampalzer’s photos were published in Der Stürmer, a virulently anti-Semitic tabloid-style newspaper published by Julius Streicher, a member of the Nazi party and one of Hitler’s earliest followers. Der Stürmer played a central role in the Nazi propaganda war against the Jews. When Marienbad – as part of the Sudeten Region – was annexed to Nazi Germany during the Sudeten Crisis in 1938, most of the town’s Jews left and those who didn’t were ultimately arrested by the Nazis. The local shul was burned down and the area was converted into a park. The Belzer Rebbe was smuggled out of Europe during the Holocaust with the help of his chassidim, ultimately arriving in Eretz Yisrael. Unfortunately, he was left bereft of his entire family – his wife, children and grandchildren were killed by the Nazis. The postcard will be auctioned by the Kedem Auction House in Jerusalem.

First Jewish President In Ukraine Now Embroiled In Trump Scandal. How Fares The Jews?

November 14, 2019 2:00 pm No Comments

When Ukraine elected its first Jewish president, Vlodymyr Zelensky, by a landslide victory in April, 20-year-old Arkady Kesselman backtracked on his plans to leave Ukraine for the West, according to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency article on Tuesday. “I have new hope now,” Kesselman told the JTA. “I’m glad a Jewish person can get elected to [be] president here, but I believe he will be successful regardless. I’m staying.” And Kesselman is far from the only Ukrainian to support the Jewish president. Zelensky’s approval rating of about 70% far exceeds that of previous presidents, none of whom had an approval rating of over 47% since 2008. In light of Zelensky’s win, some Jews say that Ukraine is a wonderful country to be Jewish these days and there is almost no anti-Semitism compared to other countries in Europe. In fact, there was little anti-Semitic rhetoric during Zelensky’s campaign. However, according to the JTA report, not all is rosy for Zelensky and Ukrainian Jews. Ukraine is a country fraught with long-standing problems – war with Russia, lack of economic stability, corruption, nationalism, and then, of course, there’s the latest imbroglio of US President Donald Trump’s now-infamous phone call with Zelensky and what he did or didn’t say. And Zelensky’s campaign promises will be difficult to fulfill. He promised to end Ukraine’s war with Russia as well as crack down on corruption. As he told Trump in July: “We wanted to drain the swamp here in our country.” “I say this regretfully, but there is no way Zelensky can deliver on his promises, and certainly not on the exaggerated hopes and expectations placed on him by others,” Viktor Skarshevsky, a well-known Jewish economist from Kyiv, told the JTA. “He’s basically been lifted up to be knocked down.” “Most people don’t think of Zelensky as a Jew, just a popular actor,” said Vlodymyr Zeev Vaksman, the 38-year-old chairman of Odessa’s Tiferet Masorti community. But if he fails, “they will be looking for someone to blame. Maybe Jews.” Yevgeniy Romenovich, a 41-year-old information technology adviser from Kyiv, said: “When Zelensky fails, they will think of him as the Jew and take revenge against the Jews,” he said. “As the masses cheer, the Jews should prepare for pogroms.” Israel certainly doesn’t have a rosy view of Ukraine for its 300,000 Jewish residents. Last year, the Israeli government pointed a finger at Ukraine in its annual report for 2017 as a hot spot for anti-Semitism. The report said that anti-Semitic attacks had doubled in the country since 2016. “A striking exception in the trend of decrease in anti-Semitic incidents in Eastern Europe was Ukraine,” the report said. Another issue in Ukraine is the glorification of Nazis and Nazi collaborators, which prompted condemnation of Ukrainian legislation by 50 US Congress members in 2018. “It’s particularly troubling that much of the Nazi glorification in Ukraine is government-supported,” the bipartisan letter to Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan stated, providing examples of ceremonies and legislation celebrating Nazi military units and other militia who fought together with the Nazis. So apparently all is not rosy for the Jews in Ukraine despite Zelensky’s resounding win. And whether a Jew in a high position will improve matters remains to be seen. Unfortunately, Ukraine has a long history of not just anti-Semitism but brutal violence

Sister Of Israeli In Russian Jail: “She’s Losing It”

November 7, 2019 2:30 pm 1 Comment

Liad Goldberg, the sister of Naama Issachar who is serving a 7.5-year sentence in a Russian prison for possession of a small amount of marijuana, says that Naama is having a difficult time in jail, a Jewish Telegraphic Agency report said. “Physically, she’s safe and everything, but I personally truly worry for her emotional and mental well-being,” Goldberg – a 32-year-old production assistant who lives in Los Angeles – told the JTA. “My mom saw her a couple of days ago and she’s losing it. She can’t really take it anymore.” Meanwhile, earlier this week, Israel’s Supreme Court ordered that the extradition of the Russian hacker Alexei Burkov to the United States be temporarily postponed. Burkov is wanted in the United States for alleged cyber credit fraud and the Supreme Court had already approved his extradition. However, Burkov has become a bargaining chip for the release of Issachar from prison, possibly due to his ties to Russian cyber intelligence, although Burkov denied this. Issachar’s family implored Israeli Justice Amir Ohana to delay Burkov’s extradition order but Ohana did not comply. “I suggest not to create a very dangerous precedent – that every time a country wants someone to be extradited, it captures an Israeli citizen and turns them into a scapegoat,” Ohana told Kan radio last month. After Ohana signed the extradition order, the Issachar family, as well as Burkov himself, filed petitions to the Supreme Court against the extradition. The court ruled that the extradition will be delayed until Burkov’s petition is examined. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

A Historically Cleansing Act: Polish Students Clean Jewish Cemetery, Learn Hebrew To Read Headstones

October 30, 2019 3:00 pm No Comments

Polish students in the town of Zalewo in northern Poland cleaned the local Jewish cemetery last week, according to a JTA report on Monday. The project was initiated by local activists who tend to the Jewish cemetery in the town. The activists invited an employee of the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Krzysztof Bielawski, to teach Hebrew to the town’s students to enable them to read the Hebrew writing on the cemetery’s headstones. Last week, the students began cleaning the cemetery together with local priest Michal Bika and school deputy director Elzbieta Miedzinska. The students collected garbage from the cemetery area, washed the headstones and trimmed the surrounding shrubbery. The projects were co-funded by the Polish American Freedom Foundation. The town of Zalewo was part of Germany before World War II and was home to about a dozen Jewish families. Although the town was almost completely demolished in the course of the war, some of the tombstones in the Jewish cemetery survived. There are currently about 3,000 people residing in the town.

Belgium: First Female And Jewish Prime Minister Is Daughter Of Holocaust Survivor

October 29, 2019 8:00 pm No Comments

Sophie Wilmes became the first female and first Jewish prime minister of Belgium when she entered office on Sunday. Wilmes, who is a center-right liberal from Belgium’s French-speaking community, is taking over a caretaker government from Charles Michel, whose Cabinet dissolved last year. Wilmes will oversee negotiations to form a coalition for an acting government, an often lengthy process for Belgium, which in 2010-11 went 541 days without a government – a world record. Wilmes was born in Brussels to an Ashkenazi Jewish mother who lost relatives in the Holocaust, according to a JTA report. Wilmes’ father Phillipe, who is a lecturer at Catholic University of Louvain, is not Jewish. Philippe Markiewicz, the president of the Consistoire organization of Belgian Jewry, told JTA: “She hid her Jewish identity, though it seems to be a private detail from her biography and not something connected to any policy-making aspect.” Wilmes is married to Christopher Stone, who is from Australia, and they have four children. *****SIGN UP NOW —- GET YOUR NEWS IN RECORD TIME***** Make sure you are one of the more than 22,000 that signed up to YWN WhatsApp Status to receive news in live time.

North Carolina police say nobody was inside a KFC restaurant when it was destroyed in an overnight explosion. Police responded to the blast in Eden, North Carolina, around 1 a.m. Thursday. Eden Police photos show the collapsed building with debris scattered on the road and throughout the parking lot. Just the KFC sign was left untouched. Investigators say they believe nobody was inside at the time. Police haven’t said what may have caused the explosion. WCNC reports energy and natural gas crews arrived shortly afterward, along with Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives officers and the state fire marshal. Eden police posted that all lanes of Highway 14 around the restaurant will be closed for an extended period as they investigate. (AP)

Chabad Shliach in Argentina Beaten in Anti-Semitic Attack Over Shavuos

June 11, 2019 1:15 pm No Comments

Shliach in Rosario, Argentina, Rabbi Shlomo Tawil, was attacked and beaten in an anti-Semitic attack on Sunday night, the first night of Shavuos. According to reports, Rabbi Tawil was attacked by three youths, who began by hurling anti-semitic slurs at him, and then began to physically assault him, punching him in the head and stomach. He was thrown to the floor, as his attackers began to kick him – and then trampled on his black hat. According to reports, neighbors came to his aid and chased the attackers who managed to get away. Rabbi Tawil is in stable condition, and is recovering from his injuries. According to the JTA, the attack on the Rabbi is the third physical anti-Semitic attack in the last two months. There other two took place in Buenos Aires, one in April and one in May. The attack drew widespread criticism from around Argentina, as the number and violence of anti-Semitic incidents there is on the rise. Ten days ago, a swastika was spray-painted on a Jewish-owned hair salon in Buenos Aires. Neo-Nazi pamphlets were also distributed in the area near the salon. In another incident, a cantor was attacked while returning home from Shabbat services. Rosario, which is located at the heart Argentina’s industrial corridor, has the country’s third-largest Jewish community. Argentina’s Jewish population of about 180,500 is the largest in Latin America and the third-largest in the Americas, after the United States and Canada. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

VIDEO: Chabad Rabbi Films Anti-Semitic Harasser on NYC Street

May 1, 2019 1:05 pm 11 Comments

Rabbi Uriel Vigler of Chabad Israel Center on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, found himself at the receiving end of an anti-Semitic tirade Tuesday morning. It started as Rabbi Vigler was heading off to Shachris just before 7:00AM. He was confronted on Lexington Avenue by an African American man who began to threaten and verbally assault him. JTA reported the man first shouted “[EXPLETIVE] JEW” at the rabbi. He then followed Rabbi Vigler across the street where he remarked: “Are you nervous, are you scared?’” Vigler said the man lunged at him as he neared the Shul. When the assailant noticed the Shul’s security guard, he turned around and called the rabbi “the devil.” The anti-Semitic tirade did not faze the Rabbi, who began filming the man. The perpetrator walked away without becoming physical, but the Rabbi did not let the incident go unreported. A police report was filed with the NYPD. In response to the attack, Rabbi Vigler told the TPS news agency: “I thought we were living in peace and tranquility in Manhattan. We won’t surrender to terror. We will continue to act with alacrity and full of love for every Jew and we will continue to spread light to the world.” Aside from the Chabad Center, Rabbi Vigler also serves as the director of the “Belev Echad” organization which services IDF soldiers who were wounded while serving in the army. Rabbi Vigler shared the attached footage to Facebook, and wrote: “I was verbally assaulted (viciously) this morning on my way to pray Shachrit by this “human being.” My only crime is that I look like a Jew. If you know who this person is please let me know so I can include with the police report I will file today”. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

HATE IN NJ: See How The Democrat Mayor of Brick Responded to a Jew-Hater

April 24, 2019 7:00 am 19 Comments

A constituent tweeted at the Mayor of Brick Township, New Jersey about local parks and beaches being “invaded by the Hasidic and Orthodox Jews and being ruined”, on Tuesday Chol Hamoed Pesach. Mayor John G. Ducey, a Democrat, responded about park security but makes no mention of the tweeter’s anti-Semitic tone. “Our parks security has started already. Just call police with any problems and they will send them out”, he wrote. The Twitter account that tweeted to the Mayor has since been deleted. Hey @MayorDucey, It’s time for the Jews to invade Brick and clean up your heroin problem. I bet @simms10471 would like that. Plus we might offer him Jew gold to move.https://t.co/jHXPK4gZeR pic.twitter.com/9YUJtaXHo3 — ((( Malei Rikud, Democratic Capitalist))) (@MaleiRikud) April 24, 2019 https://twitter.com/MayorDucey/status/1120887419463540737?s=19 https://twitter.com/MayorDucey/status/1121027174767714305?s=19 https://twitter.com/MayorDucey/status/1121026832302845956?s=19 https://twitter.com/MayorDucey/status/1121026630783205378?s=19 https://twitter.com/MayorDucey/status/1120893214985207808?s=19 (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

HATE IN PARIS: Jewish Woman’s Nose Broken During Robbery; Attackers Shout “Are You Afraid, Jewess?!”

December 19, 2018 7:05 pm No Comments

A Jewish woman was attacked in a predominately Jewish suburb of Paris known as Sarcelles, located to the north of the city. The woman, in her 20’s, told police that she was physically assaulted and robbed by two black teenagers on Monday, cursing her and shouting statements at her that were anti-Semitic. According to the woman’s report, the two assailants stole her cellphone out of her hands, hit her in the face and screamed at her “are you afraid, you Jewess!” The woman was rescued when a passerby intervened in the attack and she was able to flee and return home with a broken nose and a bloody face. “I was on my way home from work when they attacked me,” she said. [‘They Spit When I Walked in the Street’: Muslims Represent The ‘New Anti-Semitism’ in France] Jewish community organizations asked the police to make a swift investigation and find the attackers. “The World Jewish Congress stands with our community in France in deploring this vicious act of hatred against an innocent woman, whose only crime was being Jewish,” said WJC CEO and Vice President Robert Singer. According to a report put out by the JTA, France has seen an increase of 69 percent in the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the first 10 months of 2018 over the corresponding period last year. In recent months, France has seen several cases of extreme violence against Jewish victims (see below) whose attackers singled them out for robbery, assault and murder because they were Jewish. The following are just some of the recent hate crimes in France covered on YWN: HATE: Anti-Zionist Graffiti Found on Shul in France HORROR: Holocaust Survivor’s Body Found Burnt, Stabbed In Paris Apartment; Muslim Neighbor In Custody HATE CONTINUES: Anti-Semitic Graffiti At Paris University HATE: Paris Youth Attacked By Group On His Way To Megillah Reading HATE: French President Denounces ‘Heinous’ Attack Against Yarmulka-Wearing Child In Paris VIDEO: ‘There Will Soon Be No Jews In France’ As Anti-Semitism Escalates Suspected Arson In Kosher Shops Near Paris On Anniversary Of Hyper Cacher Terror Attack French Muslim Leaders Denounce Anti-Semitism, Reject Suggestion Quran Is To Blame for Terror France: Jewish Family Beaten, Tied Up & Robbed In Anti-Semitic Attack TERROR IN FRANCE: 3 Killed, 16 Injured After ISIS Terrorist Takes Hostages At Supermarket ISIS TERROR IN PARIS: ‘Allahu Akbar’ Shouting Terrorist Stabs 5, Killing 1 Woman Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ Attacks 2 With Box Cutter At Supermarket In France “It is inconceivable that the Jewish community in France, or elsewhere, should have to brace themselves each day against potential threats, or have to live in fear or trepidation simply because of their identity,” said WJC CEO Singer. “The European Union’s recent survey, finding that 40 percent of European Jews are worried about being physically attacked, should serve as a serious impetus to authorities across the continent to follow through with their declaration to upgrade the security of Jewish community and ensure their safety and well-being.” “The WJC will continue to fight against all manifestations of antisemitism across the globe, and we offer our full support to our communities in these concerning and uncertain times,” Singer said.

Urgent Discussion Surrounding the Outbreak of Leptospirosis in Israel

August 19, 2018 7:30 pm No Comments

In light of the increase in the number of people diagnosed with leptospirosis in Israel, an emergency meeting was held Sunday morning, 8 Elul, in cooperation with all the professionals: The Ministries of Health, Finance, Agriculture, Environmental Protection, the Nature & Parks Authority, the Water Authority, cattle growers and regional councils, towards arriving at decisions as how to cope with the outbreak of the illness. The alert was released last week as a number of people showed signs and symptoms of the illness, resulting in a swim ban in nachals. So far, 42 people have been diagnosed with leptospirosis as water testing continues in nachals, with results being positive in Nachal Zeitoun and Nachal Hameshushim. However, other nachals (streams) were tested and results are not in. Therefore; swimming is not recommended. Meanwhile, at the end of the week there was a sharp drop in the number of travelers in the north of the country, due to the panic around the outbreak. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Health has issued statements of calm, advising the tzibur to continue with the regular routine, including visits to parks and nachals in the north. In addition, the ministry has released guidelines for the prevention of leptospirosis, which should be followed. The ministry warns against entering the water or wet soil from Nachal Zaki, Yehudiya, Hameshushim, Zeitoun, the Yarden in the Park Yarden area, the Daliot River estuary in the Majtasa area only and Nachal Jelboun.

U.S. Education Secretary Visits Yeshiva Darchei Torah, Making History [PHOTOS]

May 22, 2018 12:30 pm 5 Comments

(PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE) Yeshiva Darchei Torah was privileged to welcome the Honorable Betsy DeVos, the secretary of education of the United States, for a tour of its campus on Wednesday morning, May 16. Ms. DeVos made history as the first-ever head of the federal Department of Education to visit a yeshiva since the cabinet-level post was created in 1980. Secretary DeVos, a lifelong champion of school choice, was led on a panoramic tour of Yeshiva Darchei Torah’s 9-acre campus that showcased several salient aspects of the Yeshiva’s world-renowned educational experience. Accompanying her were Rabbi Yaakov Bender, rosh hayeshiva; Mr. Ronald Lowinger, president; Rabbi Moshe Bender, associate dean; Rabbi Eli Biegeleisen, director of community engagement; and Rabbis Chaim Dovid Zwiebel and Abba Cohen of Agudath Israel of America. The first stop was a third-grade classroom, where the rebbi was in the midst of a lesson on the shivas haminim. Using props from plastic fruit to freshly baked cookies, the rebbi ensured that the lesson came to life—and Secretary DeVos clearly enjoyed following along. She was shown the room’s SMART Board, one of many throughout the building, as an example of the Yeshiva’s successful integration of technology in the classroom. Further down the hallway, Ms. DeVos entered the Yeshiva’s Willens Literacy Library, where she sat down and joined the fourth grade boys in learning about poetry. The Secretary’s next stop was to one of the crown jewels of Yeshiva Darchei Torah, the Rabenstein Learning Center, where she witnessed some of the 300 students with special-education needs who regularly receive tutoring, therapy and self-contained classroom instruction within the school setting. After stopping in on a sixth grade class that was studying Gemara, the tour moved across the campus to the Weiss Vocational Center, a trailblazing program where a select cadre of Mesivta students spend part of their afternoons learning trades such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical contracting and home wiring—in addition to a core curriculum that includes math, sciences and language arts. The Secretary was shown a fully-functioning bathroom built from top-to-bottom by the students and watched as a talmid soldered an iron pipe. Another talmid presented her with a gift: a skillfully hand-crafted wooden cutting board with an American flag motif. At Mesivta Chaim Shlomo, Secretary DeVos joined a class of high school bachurim for an enlightening, hands-on chemistry lesson in the Yeshiva’s state-of-the-art science laboratory. Arriving at the Yeshiva’s 5,000-square-foot bais hamedrash during first seder was visibly an eye-opener for the secretary, as the hall reverberated with the sounds of hundreds of bachurim and yungeleit learning together at wooden shtenders. She approached one pair, who happily explained to her the basics of studying Gemara with Rishonim and Acharonim and the efficacy of chavrusa learning. The visitors were also introduced to bachurim with physical disabilities who, in classic Darchei fashion, are integrated within the regular Yeshiva framework. The delegation then walked across the campus promenade, passing the Yeshiva’s spacious ballfields and magnificent playgrounds, for a brief visit to a room full of precocious children in the Harriet Keilson Early Childhood Center. The tour was followed by a luncheon meeting with a cross-section of Yeshiva Darchei Torah parents, teachers, alumni and board members, who shared their personal reflections with Secretary DeVos. Among the issues discussed were the success of the Darchei educational model,

Jewish Man Found Murdered In A Paris Apartment

April 15, 2018 8:00 pm No Comments

The lifeless body of a Jewish man was found in his Paris apartment – bound and with a plastic bag around his face. According to a report by the JTA, the body was discovered by the victim’s twin brother. The victim has been identified as Jeremy Dahan. His brother reportedly telephoned a locksmith to gain access to the apartment in the 12th District, after the victim’s wife could not reach him. The victims wife is pregnant with their first child. Jeremy reported he was overseeing renovations in the apartment, work that was being carried out by two Moldovan workers. One of the workers is in custody as a suspect in the murder. Police believe the motive for the crime is financial, according to the report. Jeremy Dahan’s car and an expensive wrist watch were missing. The murder comes less than a month after the horrific murder of Mirelle Knoll, an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor, believed to have been killed by a neighbor in her Paris apartment.

Tzohar Rabbi is Incorrect: Lab-Grown Pig Meat is NOT Kosher

March 28, 2018 1:00 pm 21 Comments

(By Rabbi Yair Hoffman for the Five Towns Jewish Times) In a recent viral interview with Ynet News and carried by JTA , Rabbi Yuval Cherlow of the Tzohar organization is quoted as saying, “cloned meat produced from a pig shall not be defined as prohibited for consumption – including with milk.” In the interview, which was given prior to a Bar-Ilan University symposium entitled “Science and Halacha” featuring a talk by the Rabbi, he advocated rabbinic approval of cloned meat “so that people would not starve, to prevent pollution, and to avoid the suffering of animals.” Rabbi Cherlow further stated that when the “cell of a pig is used and its genetic material is utilized in the production of food, the cell in fact loses its original identity and therefore cannot be defined as forbidden for consumption,” Rabbi Cherlow said. “It wouldn’t even be meat, so you can consume it with dairy.” FORBIDDEN It is this author’s opinion that the Rabbi is in error concerning the halacha and that cloned meat produced from a pig would most certainly be forbidden according to all opinions. This is not to say that lab grown meat is a bad idea. Theoretically, if done from a kosher animal that was shechted properly – it could be kosher. DAVAR HAMAAMID The main reason why cloned meat produced from a pig would be considered forbidden from a halachic point of view is on account of the concept in Halacha known as, “Davar HaMaamid.” It is discussed in the Yore Deah section of Shulchan Aruch Siman 87. Essentially, it is an item that establishes and supports the end food product being produced. This is the same principle that forbids non-kosher cheese – which historically was once started with rennet – a non-kosher product. Other products considered a Davar HaMaamid are emulsifiers, jelling agents, some enzymes, and solidifying agents. In order to understand the underlying issue, we need to first explore how lab-produced meat works and then we need to explore the halacha. HOW IT WORKS Every form of cloning that this author has examined thus far involves the collection of animal cells that have a rapid rate of proliferation. These cells could be anything from embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, myosatellite cells, myoblasts. Stem cells proliferate fastest but have not yet become a specific kind of cell. They thus need to be directed as to how they will grow which creates some challenges. On the other hand fully developed muscle cells are perfect for developing artificial meat, but they do not proliferate rapidly at all. It seems that the cell of choice are myoblast cells because they do proliferate at a rapid enough speed and the technical challenges of directing how they will grow are manageable. The next step that is necessary is a growth medium – that is the application of a protein that will foster tissue growth. This needs to be done in a culture medium in a bio-reactor wherein the cells are supplied with the nutritional and energy requirements that are needed. The third step that is required is a scaffold so that the meat can grow three dimensionally. The scaffold should be edible so that the meat would not need to be harvested. The scaffold should be able to stretch with

A Palestinian Is Spending $30 Million To Revitalize A Shul Destroyed During Kristallnacht

March 20, 2018 9:30 pm 3 Comments

The dream of a Palestinian-born politician from Germany is close to reality. Riad Salah, who was born in a village near Shechem, wants to rebuild a shul in Berlin. The German senator and leader of the Social Democratic Party met earlier this week in front of the shul and announced a plan to rebuild the building, which was mostly destroyed during the Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938. Salah’s goal, which was approved by the president of the Jewish community in Berlin, Gideon Yoffe, is to make an unequivocal statement against the growing anti-Semitism in the German capital – and also against discrimination against Muslims. “If you say you want to support Jewish life in Germany and the city of Berlin and Europe, and you do not just want to pay lip service, then you have to do it in a concrete way,” said Saleh, who immigrated to Germany from the Shomron with his family when he was 5 and now 40. Saleh proposed the plan last November in a column in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. This was reported by JTA. Saleh fought for the plan and at the end of the effort he was supported by the Senate in Berlin. Gideon Yoffe, who has been president of the Jewish community for 12 years, said, “I never thought that a Berliner with a Palestinian background would help the Jewish community.” Salah was born in a village near Shechem. “I see this as a fantastic story that allows us to look hopefully at the future,” Yoffe added. Saleh said the project is expected to take several years and cost nearly $30 million. The senator pledged to obtain government and federal funding, as well as raise money from German industry and private donors – including his young sons. Saleh said that each of his children donated 20 euros of their savings money. Before World War II, some 175,000 Jews lived in Berlin, where there were also many shuls. The original shul could hold up to 2,000 mispallalim. Several years after it was destroyed in the pogrom of 1938, the Jewish architect Barr was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp where he was murdered in 1944.

Swiss Court Sends Neo-Nazi To Prison For Two Years After Assaulting A Chareidi Man

March 15, 2018 10:00 pm 1 Comment

A neo-Nazi who attacked a chareidi Jew in Zurich, Switzerland, was sentenced to two years in prison. The incident took place on the main street of Widikon in the Jewish quarter of Zurich on July 4th. According to the JTA report, the attacker was part of a group of about 20 men who saluted with the ‘Heil’ and yelled anti-Semitic slogans, when the chareidi man passed as he returned from shul on Shabbos morning. Some of the group members spat at him and one of them pushed him and knocked him down before the police came and intervened. The victim is in his 40s. The attacker, whose name is not mentioned in the report, was also fined $1,000 and compelled to pay the victim $3,100. The neo-Nazi has a history, as he already served a year in prison in 2013 pertaining to another assault case. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

Uruguayan Hotel Bans Israeli Tourists Over IDF Service

January 15, 2018 2:30 pm 3 Comments

A hotel in Uruguay has canceled a booking for travelers after finding out that they were Israeli and had served in the IDF. Amit Bradush, 22, and his unnamed partner claimed to receive a personal message from the hotel manager via the website which they used to make the reservation, Booking.com. The message explained that the reservation had been canceled due to the political views of the manager, who said that his own politics were “very contrary to the policies of your country.” This was reported by the El Pais website and consequently by the JTA. “I had not seen that they were from Israel. I strongly oppose the policies of their country, they are not welcome in my house,” Buena Vista ecological resort’s owner Mauricio Pinero wrote. For his part, Pinero reimbursed the two Israeli tourists their prepayment. Pinero added that it has also been his experience that young Israeli guests who are on their post-army trek are particularly difficult guests. “I am neither a discriminator nor an antisemite. The kids who come after finishing military service in Israel have a profile of celebration, arrogance and things that are not good. We work with a different type of audience. It is not a problem with anyone in particular,” he added. The incident drew an incredible amount of social media attention in Uruguay, a country of some 12,000 Jews. Both Israeli and Jewish leaders in the country have decried the incident. “We repudiate what happened with two young Jews who were not admitted to a hostel in Barra de Valizas because they came from Israel,” read a statement released by the Comite Central Israelita, Uruguay’s umbrella Jewish organization. “Our society is pluralistic and diverse. Let us not allow isolated facts to distill malice, spreading prejudice and bad intention.” Booking.com announced on Monday it was removing the Buena Vista hostel from its website, after confirming that the Israeli couple had been the victims of discrimination. “As soon as we were made aware of this case, we immediately reached out to the customer, offered to cover the costs they incurred in finding an alternate place to stay, and have removed this property from our site,” a representative from Booking.com said, in response to a complaint against the hostel lodged by an international Jewish advocacy group, the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC.) Uruguay’s Minister of Tourism Liliam Kechichian said the incident is “totally inadmissible” and will be investigated. “In Uruguay, it is not acceptable to discriminate on the grounds of religion. We hope that Israeli tourists will continue to visit Uruguay and enjoy the beauty of the country,” she said. Israeli ambassador Nina Ben Ami said of the incident: “It is an unpleasant case of discrimination against Israeli citizens, based solely on their identity. It was not based on the political opinion of the tourists, the owner of the hostel did not even know the couple, it seems a case of blind prejudice and I hope it is an isolated case.” El Pais also reported that the hostel’s Facebook page added another argument to the hotel manager’s position and that he plans to maintain this policy in the future of “not accepting (Israeli) young people who have just left the military service.” “About two or three years ago, a kid just out of Israeli military service stayed here. One night, as

Pivotal Virginia Election Decided With Dramatic Lot Drawing [VIDEO]

January 5, 2018 7:15 am No Comments

Virginia Republicans cheered Thursday when their candidate won a state House of Delegates race by luck of the draw, having his name chosen first out of ceramic bowl. But inside a conference room in Richmond’s Capitol Square, where the drawing was held, it was all agony of defeat and no joy of victory. That’s because Republican David Yancey skipped the drawing, while Democratic challenger Shelley Simonds and many of her supporters absorbed it in stunned silence. The drawing of lots took place after an election, recount and legal battles between Yancey and Simonds ended in a tie. Yancey’s win allows Republicans to maintain a slim majority in the House, though a final tally is still uncertain. The drawing drew a large, if lopsided, crowd to the Virginia elections board meeting. Many were either reporters or Simonds’ supporters. So the focus was entirely on Simonds, who sat stoically as the commission ran through the ceremony. The name of each candidate, printed on a piece of paper, was placed into separate film canisters. The canisters were put into a cobalt-blue-and-white ceramic bowl made by a local artist and stirred around. Board Chairman James Alcorn pulled one of the canister’s out and read the winner’s name: “David Yancey.” Without him there, all eyes fell on Simonds. She stayed still and kept looking straight ahead, not giving any initial reaction. After a few seconds, she looked at her 15-year-daughter Georgia, and said, “it’s ok.” The room that had been buzzing with excitement moments before went silent, save for the rapid click of the cameras trained on Simonds. Much of the crowd, filled with state workers and aides to Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Gov.-elect Ralph Northam, quickly filed out. After a few minutes, Simonds gave an impromptu news conference. “This is a sad conclusion for me,” she said, sounding a lot like she was conceding defeat. But when asked, she explicitly said her options — including a recount request, were still on the table. For his part, Yancey’s only comments came on social media , where he congratulated Simonds on a “hard fought election.” He left the speaking to House Republican Leader Kirk Cox and his top deputy, Del. Todd Gilbert, who were in much higher spirits when they met with reporters outside the House chamber. “The takeaway from today is, we will be in the majority on the first day,” Cox said, referring to the 2018 legislative session that starts next week. Republicans currently control the chamber 51-49. If Simonds pursued a recount, if wouldn’t be complete before the session starts and Cox said neither Yancey nor Simonds would be seated until a winner was finalized. That would still allow Republicans to elect a speaker and make committee assignments based on a 50-49 advantage. The race between Yancey, a three-term incumbent, and Simonds has bounced back and forth since the November election, when Virginia Democrats — fueled by voter anger directed at Republican President Donald Trump — wiped out a 66-34 advantage held by Republicans in the House. The election has been widely seen as a potential harbinger of the 2018 midterm congressional elections. Simonds appeared to have lost the November election by 10 votes, but on Dec. 19, she won a recount by a single vote. The next day, a three-judge panel

PHOTOS: Swedish Shul Targeted In A Firebomb Attack; 3 Suspects Arrested

December 10, 2017 7:45 pm 2 Comments

(PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE) Three people have been arrested for allegedly throwing firebombs at a Shul in the Swedish city of Goteborg, the second anti-Jewish attack in the Nordic nation in two days. Jewish groups condemned the attacks as “unconscionable” and demanded that authorities take action. The firebombs were hurled at the Shul and the adjacent Jewish Center at around 10:00PM (local time) Motzei Shabbos, while more than 20 youths from the local Jewish community were attending a party inside the complex. Dvir Maoz, of the World Bnei Akiva, told JTA he saw “a ball of fire” approaching the building. “The guards saw it in the security cameras and called police right away. The children were stressed, it was the first time they had ever experienced a terrorist attack near them.” According to police, people inside were evacuated without incident. Many parents were phoned and came to pick them up the shaken children. The fire department responded and extinguished the blaze, as well as a second fire in the parking lot. Police dogs were brought in to comb the area in the search for evidence. According to one eyewitness, Allan Stutzinsky, some dozen masked youths threw the firebombs against the shul. The attack took place after some 200 people rallied late Friday in the southern city of Malmo, yelling anti-Jewish slogans and waving Palestinian flags to protest U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven and other top politicians condemned the incidents and authorities increased security around the synagogue and at Jewish centers in Stockholm and Malmo. “I’m terribly upset over the attack on a synagogue in Goteborg yesterday and calls for violence against Jews at a demonstration in Malmo,” Lofven said Sunday. “There is no place for anti-Semitism in our Swedish society. The perpetrators will be held accountable.” He urged “all democratic forces” in Sweden to work together to create “a tolerant and open society where everyone feels safe.” On Saturday, Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom tweeted that those who called for Jews to be killed did something “totally unacceptable.” The European Jewish Congress said Sunday it was “unconscionable that Jews are under attack on the streets of Europe” and urged Swedish and other European governments to take “strong punitive action” against perpetrators. In Nordic neighbor Finland, national broadcaster YLE said police would raise security measures around the Helsinki synagogue. The American Jewish Committee, meanwhile, condemned a separate protest Friday in Berlin, during which American and Israeli flags were burned in front of the U.S. embassy. The director of the AJC’s Ramer Institute in Berlin, Deirdre Berger, called Sunday for an “unequivocal response” from German politicians, saying “the protests have to be condemned.” Berlin police said 10 people were detained and 12 criminal complaints were filed over the protest of Trump’s decision to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Chief Rabbinate Blacklist Of 160 Rabbis Creates A Storm

July 10, 2017 11:30 am 12 Comments

When a former new immigrant wishes to get married in Israel, s/he must present documentation proving his/her Jewishness, which is usually accomplished by bringing a letter from a prominent rav in the United States. It is known that there are rabbonim whose letters are not accepted. An employee of the Chief Rabbinate released this list, apparently without approval of his superiors and the list of 160 rabbonim is resulting in a storm. The rabbonim appearing on the list hail from 24 countries including the US and Canada, and they identify with Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jewry. Some of the more well-known names appearing on the list are Rabbi Avi Weiss of Riverdale, NY, Rabbi Yehoshua Fass of Nefesh B’Nefesh, Rabbi Joshua Blass (a student advisor at REITS), Rabbi Joseph Potasnik (Executive Director of the NY Board of Rabbis), Rabbi Adam Scheier (a former president of the Montreal Board of Rabbis), Rabbi Eliezer Hirsch (Rav of Mekor HaBracha Shul in Philadelphia. He is a musmach of Ner Yisroel in Baltimore), Rabbi Baruch Goodman (Rutgers University Chabad House) and Daniel Kraus (director of education at Kehilath Jeshurun, a modern Orthodox shul on Manhattan’s Upper East Side). JTA reports that of the 65 US rabbonim on the list, at least one-fifth are affiliated with Orthodox Judaism. Most of the others are affiliated with Reform and Conservative communities. One of the more recent cases that made the media was the conversion of Ivanka Trump by Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, which was not recognized by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. While he is unquestionably modern, Rabbi Lookstein has been a respected member of the NYC Orthodox Rabbinate for decades and the rejection led to a political storm. However, dayanim including Rabbi Avraham Sherman did not hesitate to call him and Rabbi Avi Weiss “kofrim” when giving a radio interview on the matter. Rabbi Lookstein also distanced himself from reports that a rabbi gave her permission to be mechalel Shabbos by flying, stating clearly it was not him. Speaking to JTA last week, Rabbi Weiss said, “The way they’re conducting themselves is so painful, so unfortunate. Critics feel that list is tainted by political considerations as more than a few frum rabbonim appear on it. Below is an alphabetical list of rabbis from the US. Several of the rabbis have died, but may have written letters attesting to congregants’ Jewish identity while still alive. Alberto Zeilicovich, Conservative Alexander Davis, Conservative Alfredo Winter , Conservative Amos Miller, Conservative Arthur Rulnick, Conservative Arthur Weiner , Conservative Arthur Zuckerman, Conservative Avi Weiss, Orthodox Barry Dolinger , Orthodox Baruch Goodman, Orthodox Bernard Gerson, Conservative Dan Ornstein, Conservative Daniel Kraus, Orthodox David Rosen, Orthodox David Wortman, Reform David Zaslow, Renewal Eli Kogan, Orthodox Eliezer Hirsch, Orthodox George Nudell, Conservative Gerald Serotta, Reform Gil Steinlauf, Conservative Harold Berman, Conservative Irwin Groner, Conservative Isaac lehrer, Conservative Jacob Max , Orthodox Jason Herman, Orthodox Jay Rosenbaum, Reform Joseph Potasnik, Orthodox Joseph Radinsky, Orthodox Josh Blass, Orthodox Joshua Skoff, Conservative Ken Carr, Reform Kenneth Roseman, Reform Leonard Gordon, Conservative Leonid Feldman, Conservative Marcelo Bronstein, Conservative Mario Karpuj, Conservative Melvin Sirner, Conservative Michael Pont, Conservative Michael Siegel, Conservative Morris Allen, Conservative Paul Plotkin, Conservative Paul Schneider, Conservative Paul Yedwab, Reform Peter Grumbacher, Reform Pinchas Chatzinoff, Orthodox Sam Fraint, Conservative Seth Adelson, Conservative Seymour Siegel, Conservative Shay Mintz,

Reaction To Planned Elimination Of U.S. Anti-Semitism Monitor

June 27, 2017 6:00 pm 1 Comment

For the past 13 years, the U.S. State Department has maintained an office devoted to monitoring and combating anti-Semitism in the United States. But it appears as if that will no longer be the case. On Wednesday, June 14th, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson indicated he might not be appointing a Special Envoy to the office. Since then, an unnamed source told the JTA that the office would go indeed go unstaffed as of July 1. In a testimony before the foreign operations subcommittee of the US House of Representatives Appropriations Committee, Tillerson explained his position that hiring such an envoy wasn’t necessary and that the overall effort to combat anti-Semitism would be more vigorous without one. Part of his argument was that local State Department missions neglect their responsibility to confront the issue if there is a special office in Washington dedicated to that. “One of the questions I’ve asked is, if we’re really going to affect these areas, these special areas, don’t we have to affect it through the delivery on mission at every level at every country?” Tillerson asked. “And by having a special envoy, one of my experiences is, mission then says, ‘oh, we’ve got somebody else that does,’ and then they stop doing it.” Anti Defamation League (ADL) chief Jonathan Greenblatt said that abandoning the office would be a “serious mistake” and argued that a worldwide uptick in anti-Semitism that’s occurred over the past year made that abundantly clear. Since January, nearly 150 bomb threats have hit JCCs, Jewish day schools and other institutions, causing the evacuation of dozens of Jewish community centers and prompting some parents to remove their children from JCC programs. It should be noted that most were found to be the work of an Israeli-American teen from Ashkelon, who has been charged with making thousands of bomb threats over the last two years. Hannah Rosenthal and Ira Forman, who each held the post of Special Envoy during the Obama administration, shared their vigorous disagreement with Tillerson’s arguments, and bemoaned the elimination of the office. Their remarks were reported by The Times of Israel. “It’s not just what the office of the special envoy to monitoring and combating anti-Semitism does, although that’s critically important, but it’s the symbolism of US leadership,” said Forman, who held the position from 2013 to 2017. “This would be a terrible loss.” Rosenthal argued that too many people worldwide don’t recognize the nuances of anti-Semitic prejudice unless it is reminiscent of the Holocaust. “If people aren’t being rounded up and sent to their deaths, many people in the State Department, and in Congress, and many places, [think] that there isn’t anti-Semitism,” she said. U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y) released the following statement: “I am very disturbed that less than a month after I introduced my bipartisan bill to elevate and empower the State Department’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Counter Anti-Semitism, I am now seeing reports that Secretary of State Tillerson is letting the State Department’s entire anti-Semitism office sit empty as he considers eliminating this position. There is no doubt that anti-Semitism continues to thrive in many places around the world and right here at home, and it would be a huge mistake to take away one of the State Department’s main tools in the fight against this
