Mr. Eric Levine (a founding member of a New York City law firm) said:
“No doubt [Donald] Trump’s strong showing among Jews is a reaction to the
explosion of antisemitism on our university campuses and in cities across the country,
and to the Democratic Party’s failure to condemn it.
To the contrary, significant portions of the Democratic Party embrace it.”“Vice President Kamala Harris’s failure to select Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro
as her running mate, her tepid support for the Jewish state and her failure
to contradict a protester who said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza
created a four-alarm fire in many quarters of the American Jewish community.”SOURCE: article titled: “How to defeat the antisemitism

Dear YWN Moderator,
The two recent comments from BURGTHZ should be deleted, as soon as possible.
This web site can be read by ANYONE, including people who hate Jews.
BURGTHZ’s comments can be used to attack all Jews, so they must be deleted.
Sincerely,
SQUARE_ROOTRabbi Avrohom Birnbaum said this in Yated Neeman :
We all set goals, especially spiritual goals.
We all want to accomplish so much in both asei tov and sur meira.
There are masechtos we’re determined to learn,
areas of halacha we want to master.There is the fight against the yeitzer hara that we are so determined to win;
the shemiras halashon kabbolah and shemiras einayim kabbolah;
the kibbud av v’eim kabbolah and the internet kabbolah
that we have made with such conviction…and then nisyonos happen,
obstacles are placed in our way, and we often feel like we simply can’t win.
It’s too hard. “Oy,” we think, “we didn’t realize how tough it would be.”It’s at these moments that we should look at Donald J. Trump and say:
“Look at what Trump did. He had a goal. He may be a little meshugah
in some ways, but this meshugeneh didn’t let anything stop him.
He stayed focused, going after his prize with tenacity.
He didn’t give up for a second, and now he’s president of
the United States once again. He’s got battle scars, but he made it.”When it comes to our goals in ruchniyus, we should be as meshugah as Trump.
Now go be a meshugeneh!

November 13, 2024 www (dot) yated (dot) comakuperma, if you read mussar books carefully, you will be amazed
by the wrongdoings committed by Jews of previous generations,
back in the days when every Jew was allegedly a Tzaddik Gamur.David HaMelech had two sons who attempted to KILL him,
and another son who forced his own sister into physical intimacy.Coffee Addict, I actually liked UJM’s comments in this discussion,
and I may copy his comments to my computer for future reference.Coffee Addict, your question about binah is a valid question,
but this Coffee Room is not the best place to ask that question.In this web site, in this Coffee Room, there are people
who insult the Dati Leumi at every possible opportunity.I will not mention their names.
There is a famous picture of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein’s first smichah class.
In this picture, none of the smichah students wear black hats or black suits;
all of them wear the clothes and colors that were worn
by most non-Jews in New York City in the 1940s or 1950s.By today’s standards, their clothes would be considered Modern Orthodox.

“Why did the Torah [Scroll] have to come from an Orthodox Shul?”
=============================================
MY RESPONSE:
Thank you for your question, It is a very important question.
You might not be aware of this, but in recent decades,
Reform and Conservative and other off-the-Derech movements
have been writing their own Torah Scrolls! Rachmanah Latzlan!!One female fake-sofer, Miss Aviel Barclay, calls herself “Soferet”
and her web site is www dot Soferet dot com.There are big problems with this.
[1] Halachah clearly states that a Torah Scroll written by a woman is PASUL (invalid).
[2] If I remember correctly, Aviel Barclay is a convert to Reform Judaism,
which makes her NOT Jewish, and a Torah Scroll written by a non-Jew is PASUL (invalid).[3] She holds by non-Orthodox Rabbis, and only by non-Orthodox Rabbis,
which again makes her Torah scrolls100% PASUL (invalid).She also teaches random people how to write Torah Scrolls, if they pay her.
Many years ago, I sent her an email which quoted classic Torah sources
which prove that a Torah Scroll written by a woman is PASUL (invalid).
She sent me an email back, and she already knew that the Halachah
was definitely against her, but that did not stop her, or even slow her down.In the 1990s & early 2000s, there was another Reform female fake-sofer
who called herself “Chatam Soferet”. I do not know if she is still active or alive.In my opinion, it would be very appropriate to pray that
all of the fake Torah Scrolls written by her,
and all of the fake Torah Scrolls written by all pasul people,
should all be completely burned.PS: In Eretz Yisrael, fake Torah Scrolls have been written by ARABS!!
Rachmanah Latzlan!! Rachmanah Latzlan!! Rachmanah Latzlan!!I never hear the voices of the non-Meshichist Chabadnicks.
The Meshichist Chabadnicks seem to be a 1,000 times louder than the non-Meshichist Chabadnicks.
Can you name one prominent non-Meshichist Chabad Rabbi?
Is seminary worth it, if it causes the girl to delay marriage by 1 or 2 years?

Around 4 years ago, President Joe Biden publicly admitted that
the only reason why he chose Kamala Harris to be Vice President
was because she was a “woman of color” or non-White woman.Not because of her talents or her credentials,
but because of her race and her sex.Donald Trump was supported by EVERY RAV.
Kamala Harris was supported by the EREV RAV.I am sorry to hear that you experienced hardships as a tutor.
I have experience tutoring secular subjects, and my students
attended around 50% of the time, which made it
very hard to make any money from tutoring.I have not tutored in many years; I just gave up.
pekak:
Thank you for sharing those very valid facts!
=====================================
lakewoodbt:After 120 years, G*D will judge you for Sinat Chinam
against Torah-observant members of the IDF.
You are not good enough to polish their shoes.You will also be judged for your inexcusable lack of gratitude
(Hakarat HaTov) towards members of the IDF,
who make gigantic sacrifices protect Jewish land and Jewish lives.Last but not least, the people who taught you to hate
will be punished for teaching Sinat Chinam and ingratitude.If you truly desire to do a great chesed,
then forget about adopting animals,
and instead adopt a Jewish orphan,
or a Baal Teshivah or a sincere Gair Tzedek.One of the Frummest Rabbis who I ever knew,
a man who knows all of Shas and Shulchan Aruch,
who holds by every possible chumrah,
who holds by only the Charedi Gedolim,
told me many times that seminary for girls
is waste of time, and he refused to send his girls to seminary.There are Orthodox synagogues in New York City
that have more than a dozen Torah Scrolls.There are Orthodox synagogues in New York City
that have twice (2x) as many Torah Scrolls than they need,
or even thrice (3x) as many Torah Scrolls than they need,These synagogues should consider donating some
of their Torah Scrolls to Orthodox synagogues in
Eretz Yisrael, or some other place that truly needs them.If I remember correctly, there was a non-profit organization
around 20 or 25 years ago, whose only purpose was to
transfer Torah Scrolls from Orthodox synagogues
in the USA who had more than they could use,
to poor Orthodox synagogues in Eretz Yisrael.Sorry, but I do not remember the name of that organization.

MY RESPONSE:

Reading those books is like reading Xtian missionary literature.MY ADVICE: Stay away from the Narnia books written by C. S. Lewis.
Even the Gentiles are turning away from those books.Baruch Green of VIN News said:
Here’s why it is clear and irrefutable that Donald Trump deserves to be re-elected, and the country badly needs his leadership.
(1) Heading in the Wrong Direction
The nation is on a troubling path. Open borders have led to an influx of unvetted illegal migrants, attracting drug cartels, gangs, human trafficking networks, and terrorists, who invade and exploit vulnerable suburban neighborhoods. Innocent lives have been taken due to this flagrant violation of our country’s constitutional laws.
Meanwhile, soaring inflation and interest rates have made life increasingly difficult for middle- and low-income Americans who struggle with exorbitant costs
Additionally, concerns over political freedom have emerged, with Biden and Harris weaponizing the justice system to target political opponents through “lawfare,” rather than protecting the American people’s freedoms.
The left is on a mission to censor the opposition, suppress the facts, and control the flow of (mis)information. This poses an existential threat to democracy which must be defeated, or the future of our republic is in peril.
(2) Dangerous Radical-Left Ideologies
Progressive policies have redefined essential aspects of American life, from “woke” gender ideologies and immorality infiltrating schools and institutions to controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies affecting our everyday lives. The left has promoted late-term abortions, even during the ninth month, when a child is viable.
Biological males can access women’s locker rooms and sports, eroding women’s rights and protections. Meanwhile, taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prisons, promoted by Kamala Harris, reveal how her radical agenda has shifted society away from core American values, and toward dangerous social experimentation.
(3) Attacks on Our Closest Ally, Israel
The recent, brutal assault on Israel by Hamas and other Iranian Proxies underscored the critical importance of maintaining strong relationships with allies. Biden’s lifting of sanctions on Iran has fueled regional instability, enabling adversaries to target Israel, our strongest Middle Eastern ally.
Kamala Harris has been sympathetic and supportive of pro-Hamas elements which have hijacked the Democrat party.
Trump’s first administration, by contrast, made historic strides in fostering peace in the region by strengthening Israel. These include the embassy move, recognition of sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and Abraham Accords, which expanded diplomatic ties and enhanced Israel’s security.
(4) Strengthening Economy Through Capitalism
Trump’s commitment to free-market capitalism starkly contrasts with the current administration’s tilt–or total shift–toward socialism. His tax cuts and deregulatory policies served as a catalyst for business growth and prosperity, creating jobs and exciting opportunities for all Americans.
The current administration’s policies of wealth redistribution, heavy regulation, and crushing climate policies reflect a socialist direction, which stifles innovation, job creation, and personal responsibility. Trump’s policies created explosive economic growth that benefited American workers, helped the ‘little guy’ and allowed families to thrive.
(5) School Choice and Support for Communities of Faith
Trump has been a vocal advocate for school choice, which provides much-needed support to parents who want quality education options. This approach especially resonates with the Orthodox Jewish community, who face astronomical private school tuition costs. Trump’s policies would ease this financial burden and give parents more control over their children’s education, in line with their faith and values.
‘America First’ Foreign Policy and National Security: For the first time in decades, there were no wars during Trump’s presidency. His foreign policy focused on reducing U.S. involvement in costly foreign entanglements while prioritizing American interests and security. His firm stance on military strength and global engagement left the U.S. safer and respected on the world stage, in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s policies of weakness and cowardice that have led to escalating international crises and heavily diminished national security.
(6) Return to Law and Order
For decades Trump has championed justice and law enforcement, recognizing the need to keep our communities safe and secure. His commitment to law and order offers a counterpoint to current policies, which have encouraged violent crime, theft and shoplifting to surge. Under Trump, Americans knew they could depend on a leader who would prioritize the safety of their children, families and neighborhoods, while protecting and supporting the police who risk their lives daily to protect our citizens.
(7) Two Divergent Visions for America
This election represents a choice between two distinct paths: one vision that promotes a prosperous, secure, and proud America, and another that leans toward economic hardship, international instability, and ideological experimentation. Trump’s re-election would mean a return to policies that champion freedom, economic opportunity, and American pride.
It’s time to make America great, prosperous, safe, and proud again.
In Conclusion…
President Trump is the candidate with the unwavering values, moral clarity, strength, integrity, courage, resolve, and principles to lead our nation out of the many struggles we face. He is a proven winner.
Most importantly, as during his first term, Trump demonstrated leadership abilities and success, despite immeasurable obstacles and enmity from the Democrats, media, and even some Republicans.
The choice is clear.

for The New York Post, www (dot) NYPost (dot) orgDear Neville,
In Tanach, in Sefer Shmuel Aleph, chapter 16, verse 6,
the great Shmuel HaNavi mistakenly identified Eliav ben Yishai
as the next Melech Yisrael, because of his external appearance.In the next verse, verse 7, G*D said to Shmuel HaNavi:
“Pay no attention to his appearance or his stature,
for I have rejected him.
For not as man sees; man sees only what is visible,
but the G*D sees into the heart.”Since this is written in Tanach, all Jews must learn from this.
Numerous Torah sources indicate that serious Kabalah study
is *** ONLY *** correct for a small minority of Jews who
excel in Torah scholarship and righteousness, as defined by Torah.Please do not feel offended by what I am about to say, but Kabalah study
is NOT for women, and NOT for young people, and not for Gentiles.This is contrary to wicked fools who teach Kabalah to everybody.
If you are not an Orthodox Rabbi and over age 40, then Kabalah study
is probably not for you. Sorry about that!The Shabbetai Tzvi disaster was largely caused by the Kabalah study
of many unqualified people. Why should we repeat that tragic history?Last but not least, the Midrash clearly teaches that:
“The Jews will not be redeemed until they unite as one …”
(Midrash Tanchuma, Parshas Nitzavim, end of chapter 1).There is only one way to know for sure if a specific book is clean and correct for Jewish children.
You must read the book yourself, from the first page, to the last page.
Then you will know the answer to your question. I hope this helps.
Professor Thane Rosenbaum wrote this
for The Los Angeles Jewish Journal:…after 46 years as a die-hard Democrat, I have alerted the NYS
Board of Elections that I am now, officially, an Independent.The past eight years have been one slow death march of
the Democratic Party’s abandonment of its Jewish voting bloc.
It coincided with a descent into an illiberal, ahistorical and
morally misguided adherence to identity politics,
intersectionality, CRT, DEI, anti-colonialism,
and the social upheavals wrought by “political correctness.”It has led to a wide assortment of pathologies, ranging from
restrictions on free speech and open inquiry to the debasement
of our immigration laws, the bedlam on our streets and college campuses,
the desertion of foreign allies, the brainwashing of our youth,
the wrecking of our economy, the upending of gender and sexual categories,
and an appalling anti-Americanism that I surely have not seen in my lifetime.…The [Democratic] Party has fast become a home for left-wing zealots
for whom nothing matters more than pronoun usage, open borders,
and emptying our prisons of over-represented minorities.For me, the breaking point came with Joe Biden’s shameful
CNN interview where he made clear that the United States
would not support Israel’s incursion into Rafah to route
the remaining Hamas terrorists responsible for 10/7.Let me get this straight: The United States devoted a decade to
hunting down and assassinating Osama bin Laden,
killing 250,000 Afghani and Iraqi civilians along the way.
No condemning U.N. resolutions. No protests. No International
Court of Justice proceedings. All throughout America’s War on Terror,
Israel provided necessary intelligence and regional backup,
and erected a 9/11 memorial —t he only one outside
the United States listing the names of all victims.Yet, the Biden administration is withholding from Israel the necessary
weaponry (already earmarked by Congress) with which to conduct
its wholly justified military operations? Israel does not require Biden’s blessing.
And the precision of the Rafah campaign will now be less precise.Curiously, the president repeatedly acknowledged that 10/7 was
an unprovoked attack for which Israel has a moral and legal right of self-defense,
and that Hamas presents an existential threat that must be eradicated.
Biden’s “ironclad” commitment to Israel has already gone limp.Apparently, unlike the United States, Israel must be denied
its moral obligation to bring justice to its people and security to its borders.
It can defend against missiles, but not dismantle them at the source.Biden’s actions have given comfort to Hamas and its patron, Iran.
Why should Hamas return hostages (some, Americans),
if Biden is singularly focused on constraining Israeli military offenses?Moreover, Biden just gave a shout-out to those ignorant college students
and their Jew-hating, anti-American professors. Sorry, “Genocide Joe,”
asserting your mojo and cultivating a youthful
antisemitic constituency won’t help you come November.For reasons only rabid progressives can explain, Palestinians,
who are more like Hamas accomplices than true civilians,
are more precious than the world’s other civilians.Is it because Jews aren’t permitted to win wars,
especially against brown-skinned people?The Jewish state must always agree to ceasefires,
perform humanitarian acts while fighting in self-defense, and sue for peace.This betrayal has little to do with moral equivocation
and everything to do with local politics. Biden will, apparently,
do or say anything to woo the 600,000 Muslim voters of Michigan,
and stay within the good graces of that
dreadful Detroit Motown act, Bernie Sanders and the Squad.Is it worth it, this backstabbing of Jewish-Americans, an important
minority reliably loyal to the Democratic Party? Always true blue,
as if the Party had nominated Moses as its standard bearer
and Anne Frank as his running mate. The progressive perfidy
is even more heartbreaking. Jews stood at the forefront of
nearly every movement of social activism in the United States,
from labor unions to civil liberties, feminism, civil rights, and gay rights.Apparently, the reward for all those years of solidarity
has been exclusion and antisemitism.In the end, Joe Biden picked the Muslims of Michigan over
moral clarity, a coherent foreign policy, and love of country.SOURCE: article titled: “So Long, Democratic Party”
