Op-ed: European educators brainwash young minds with blatant anti-Israel views Manfred Gerstenfeld Earlier this month it became known that the German EVZ Foundation had financed two high school student programs which promoted hatred of Israel. This state foundation was created to compensate Holocaust slave workers and fight contemporary anti-Semitism. In one program, Dutch Jewish anti-Israeli extremist Hayo Meyer came to the Anne Frank High School in Gutersloh. He equated Palestinian suffering with the mass murder of Jews in the Holocaust and termed Israel a "criminal state." Since then, in the Nesbru High School in Asker, Norway, an exhibition sponsored by Norwegian Church Aid, was held on "Palestine." It included a picture of an Israeli flag crossed out and "Murder" written in reverse underneath it. After protest by an Israeli student and some bad publicity, the school finally decided to remove the exhibition. It is crucially important to know m...

There's a nice story in Chadrei Chadarim about a grocery store owner in Bnei Brak who was approached by a young boy last Friday with a note from his father asking the owner to give the boy some sweets so that the children in the family would have a joyous Shabbos. Furthermore, the father wrote that there were 13 children in the family and that they were in dire straits. In the merit of the act of charity that the owner would perfom, the father blessed him with good health, nachas and success. The store owner did not hesitate to fill a bag with sweets and to hand it to the elated boy. Shortly after, the man closed the store and was involved in a serious accident on his way home in which he emerged unscathed. When the police came and asked him for his driver's license, the man pulled out his wallet and found the note that the boy had delivered to him. The man understood what had transpired, took a cab back to his store and filled a bag of groceries for the needy family. When a ...

The Jewish world is deeply shocked about the death of the righteous rabbi "Baba Elazar" zt"l, he was a leader of our generation. He was murdered by one of the visitors who came to him for 'advice'. He supported and gave advice to thousands of people who came to him for advice and blessings. It is very urgent that we will make up our 'spriritual account' and repent from our misdeeds towards our fellow men. Especially during the days of mourning preceding the fast of the 9th of Av, the day of the destruction of both the Temples. The Temples were destroyed because of senseless hatred.

Mrs. Susan Rodrigues Pereira was renovating her house when she was surprised at the unique discovery in a wall at the entrance of her house. Two mezuzot, one large and one small, and a mezuzah case hidden and cemented inside the walls of the entrance of the house. These mezuzos were hidden in the wall during the Holocaust to avoid the Nazis noticing that it was a Jewish home. Susan is a Jewish woman of Portuguese descent. Recently, she made a research to the origin of her family. She is a descendent of an old Jewish Portuguese family who once came to the Netherlands as Marranos. Of course she knows what a mezuzah is. She investigated the story behind the mezuzos. She discovered that before the Holocaust many Jews lived in her street of which very few survived the war. Her investigation led her to a businessman Josef Tafelkruier who lived in her house before the Holocaust. The house next door lived the community Rabbi Benjamin Israel Ricardo. Susan continued her research and reached the...

The Torah introduces the Mitzvah of "Mipenei Seva Takum Ve'hadarta Penei Zaken," which is a law that requires us to; stand in the presence of, and give respect to, Torah scholars and elders. This means that when a Torah scholar or elder comes within four Amot (6-8 feet) of a fellow, the fellow must stand and remain standing until the scholar or elder leaves his four-Amot radius. The question arises, what constitutes an "elder" for purposes of this Halacha? At what age do we consider one an "elder" insofar as the obligation to stand in his presence and afford him honor is concerned? Maran (author of Shulchan Aruch) and most Poskim (authorities of Halacha) are of the opinion that a person becomes an "elder" at age seventy, while the Ben Ish Chai (Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, 1835-1909 ) cites the Arizal ( Egypt-Tzefat, 1534-1572 ) as claiming that the obligation applies already from the age of sixty. Strictly speaking, Halacha follows the v...

It is interesting to note the following in the family tree of Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William: Kate's mother is Carol Middleton, daughter of Ronald Goldsmith and Dorothy Harrison (both Jews) The parents of Dorothy Harrison are Robert Harrison and Elizabeth Temple (both Jews), the latter a descendant of the Myers family (traditional English Jews in the 19th century) Bottom line: Princess Kate is a Jew on her matrilineal side, and as a consequence, the future king of England will be a Jew according to Jewish Law and tradition.

The "cottage cheese" revolution in Israel erupted in full force. The uprising began as an initiative on Facebook as the "cottage cheese boycott" against the rising prices of basic products, in this case the cottage cheese. The effect is already palpable. Thousands have signed an online petition and will not buy the cottage - the number of participants in the boycott is growing dramatically at present there are already 70,000 -. This Facebook group promises after the "cottage cheese rebellion" also to protest against the high prices of other consumer goods that have become scandalously expensive. Manufacturers have so far indicated that these popular protests are "arrogant" and that the manufacturers do not suffer from the boycott because cottage cheese is a primary need and we will continue to buy it anyway because they have no choice. I see now that the cottage cheese in many supermarkets already are on offer at much cheaper prices. Surely th...

The next total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011. The eclipse is particularly visible in Israel. This is one of the most spectacular lunar eclipses in recent years. This eclipse will coincide with the Jewish month of Sivan after the Torah was 3323 years ago the Jewish people. This lunar eclipse was best visible above the Middle East. The eclipse falls exactly seven days after Shawoe'ot (Pentecost). Like Sukkot (Tabernacles) and Passover lunar eclipse appears as if it is a symbol of the 'decision' of the party Shawoe'ot. The secrets of creation are revealed in the choreographed dance between the heavenly bodies and the earth, the two partial solar eclipses, first at the North Pole and South Pole on the second divided by a total lunar eclipse in the Middle East has a perfect symmetry. It is in this symmetry of creation, the secrets are revealed. Besides the natural beauty of the moon is there a link between the moon and the Jewish people. The Jewish people identify th...

The U.S.A. wants to force Israel to retreat to the borders of 1967 in order to proclaim a Palestinian State. How can any nation of the world take such a responsibility when the Palestinians are openly declaring the destruction of the Jewish State. This is only possible if the safety of the Jews has absolutely no importance for the nations of the world. After Auswitz nothing has changed!! Alas.... Take a look at this video clip:

Dear His Holiness the Pope, Through this letter I like to thank you for stating in your book that the Jewish people are acquitted of the crucifixion of Jesus. Yes, now I am relieved. Catholicism is today no more anti-Semitic. The Jewish people have a new friend. How wonderful, who would believe this? Although I wonder what the Catholics will still hold together, what will unite the people? Maybe His Holiness wrote this because we have a common enemy so it is better to form a coalition with those who killed the son of God? Those who so stubbornly refused to admit to the truth. So obstinate that they were even prepared to give their lives for this? No, anti-Semitism is part of the Catholics and as such I rather keep it. Until now I knew where to place them, but now I am a bit confused. To refresh my memory: - Crusades - Blood libels - Inquisition - Pogroms - Cooperation (certainly no opposition) to Hitler Oh these are just a few little things. In fact, now I just forgive and forget becau...

Earth Could Be Unrecognizable By 2050 - A harrowing story from discovery.com is focused on population growth and dwindling resources. The bottom line: western economies and "progress" are predicated on growth. But growth relies on natural resources, which are finite. It's getting more expensive to find and extract oil and natural gas - look at how commodity prices have spiked in just the last year, the result of natural disasters coupled with rising demand for food staples worldwide. Researchers warned at a major US science conference Sunday - "A growing, more affluent population competing for ever scarcer resources could make for an "unrecognizable" world by 2050." The United Nations has predicted the global population will reach seven billion this year, and climb to nine billion by 2050, "with almost all of the growth occurring in poor countries, particularly Africa and South Asia." To feed all those mouths, "WE WILL NEED TO PRODUCE AS...

Severe weather conditions reported to for the U.S.A. north west. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy CHICAGO - A monster winter storm had the central U.S. gearing up its defenses on Monday against a potentially deadly mix of sleet, snow and ice that could affect 100 million people by the time it blows through the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. While record snowfalls have pounded the Northeast in what's shaping up to be one of that region's most brutal winters, the Midwest has been comparatively unscathed. Not this time: Up to two feet of snow was forecast for some cities, and the storm was expected to carve a frigid path from Colorado to New England by week's end. Thunderstorms and tornadoes were possible farther south. Australia: SYDNEY — A strong tropical cyclone roaring toward Australia's flood-ravaged northeast will likely cause powerful and deadly flash-flooding, officials warned Tuesday, as residents braced for what's predi...

Highly recommended by rabbi Nir is that he is of the opinion that all Jews should come and live in Israel. Have a look at the interview. Watch Part of Live Broadcast with Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi Maimonides in Mishnah Torah: "If a king will arise from the House of David who occupies himself with the study of theTorah and the performance of the MItzvos like David his ancestor, in accordance with the Written Law and the Oral Law; and if he will compel all of Israel to follow (the Torah) and strengthen its observance; and if he will fight the wars of G'd; than he is assumed to be the Messiah. If he does these things and is successful, and he builds the Temple on its place, and gathers in the exiles of Israel, then he is definately the Messiah."

RIF Soap Handed To Misaskim For Burial – Rabbonim To Pasken What Should Be Done With It (Tuesday, January 25th, 2011) At Misaskim, unexpected and sad realities of life are unfortunately a daily occurrence. But last week, Misaskim was presented with an even more perplexing question than usual: what to do with a bar of soap that many Holocaust survivors believe contains human remains? This rare bar of soap, engraved with the letters RIF, was recently discovered by the Mermelstein family while cleaning up the apartment of their aging uncle, Yosef Weinberger. Weinberger was a young adolescent who survived during the Holocaust by hiding in bunkers. Of a family of 13, only Yosef and 3 other siblings survived. However, it wasn’t only the chilling memories of his youth that shadowed Yosef each day. Tucked away in a faded green suitcase, he kept various items that were a testament to the inferno he survived. Among these objects was a tattered She’eris Hapleitah Siddur, books from the war era, l...

On the night that a couple have intimate relations, God calls the Angel of Pregnancy and informs him that Mr. A is about to fertilize the egg of Mrs. A. He tells him to go and gather the sperm in a cup and to disperse it on a threshing floor into 365 parts. The angel does this and brings it back to God whereupon the angel asks, “What will become of this drop of sperm?” Immediately God decrees whether it will be strong or weak, long or short, male or female, ignorant or wise, rich or poor, but concerning righteous or wicked God does not decree as it is up to each person to choose. Next, God hints to the Angel of the Spirits to bring him a certain holy soul who resides along with many other holy souls in the Sanctuary of Souls in the afterworld. The soul appears before God and bows down before Him. God tells him to enter the drop of sperm whereupon the soul immediately responds by saying: “My God, I am satisfied in the world that I have been in since the day I was created, so pleas...
