Christianity Today made a moral case that Trump needs to go. He responded by proving its point.

https://www.vox.com/2019/12/20/21031611/christianity-today-trump-removal-editorial-response-mark-galli

Trump began by falsely describing Christianity Today, which has a mainstream audience, as “far left” and “very ‘progressive.’” (Although it’s true the publication has been critical of Trump for years, that’s very different from being far left.) He claimed, without evidence, that the magazine “has been doing poorly.” He took gratuitous shots at the Democratic presidential candidates, comparing their faith unfavorably with his own — and ignoring the fact that if the Senate removes him from office, Vice President Mike Pence, not a Democrat, will take his place.

Christianity Today “knows nothing about reading a perfect transcript of a routine phone call and would rather have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President,” Trump tweeted. “No President has done more for the Evangelical community, and it’s not even close. You’ll not get anything from those Dems on stage.”

Orthodox Jews Raise $1.5 Million For Family That Owned Jersey City Grocery Store

https://forward.com/news/national/436927/hasidic-fundraising-jersey-city-shooting/

The shooting last Tuesday devastated this growing Hasidic community of about 100 families. Two gunmen, a man and a women, fueled by anti-Semitic beliefs, charged into the JC Kosher Supermarket on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive in Jersey City. Though a quick police response may have saved the lives of the dozens of children in the Jewish school next door, it took hours — and hundreds of bullets — before the assailants were killed and the stand-off ended. Five people, including the assailants, lost their lives. A police officer also died in an earlier confrontation with the shooters.

American Jewry and the Trump impeachment

https://www.jpost.com/American-Politics/American-Jewry-and-the-Trump-impeachment-611504

 Many were the Jews in America who certainly applauded the decision to impeach Trump on Wednesday. Many, as well, are the Jews concerned – as Jews have been throughout history in times of crisis and change – about how this will impact on antisemitism and on the Jewish community.

And, as the Ami poll showed, there are also Jews in the US – an integral part of the fabric of the American Jewish community – who think differently. American and Israeli Jews are not the only ones divided on Trump. There is a split – though by no means an equal one – on the matter within the US Jewish community as well.

Israeli-American backpacker loses appeal in Russian drug smuggling case

https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-american-backpacker-loses-appeal-in-russian-drug-smuggling-case/

 A Russian court on Thursday rejected the appeal of Naama Issachar, a US-Israeli woman who was sentenced to over seven years in prison in the country for a minor drug offense.

Issachar, who has been held in Russia since April, was arrested after a small quantity of marijuana, some 9 grams, was found in her luggage during a layover in Moscow.

The judges discussed the decision for roughly 20 minutes and ruled against the appeal in a one-sentence statement, Channel 12 reported. The rejected appeal means her years-long punishment will be upheld.

URGENT: danger of govt sponsored service - for both genders - Last Call: Submit a Public Comment by December 31

Kislev 5780 /  December '19

URGENT: Danger of gov't mandated "national service" etc. - for both genders - potentially becoming obligatory, that too for boys and girls.  

° Imagine the leftist influence over what types of policies volunteers will need abide by.... even hospital volunteers could eventually be compelled to somehow participate in assisted killing, for example. 

° Imagine the LGBTQ Tolerant Tyranny regime at work within National Service...

See below: Last Call: Submit a Public Comment by December 31.

THANK YOU all,

Follow Up Alert Re National Service

BS"D

21 Kislev, 5780

[Follow-Up] Alert: 

Public comments are urgently needed by Dec. 31, addressing, among other things, "Should all Americans be required to serve?"

The "National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service" is taking public comments addressing questions about whether America should encourage or even require various types of public service, including Military, National, and Public Service.

The moral hazards are formidable, see a previous post:  https://daattorah.blogspot.com/2019/12/urgent-danger-of-govt-sponsored-service.html

This is from their email of  about a month ago:

"One month left to share your thoughts on the following:

Does service have inherent value?

If so, what is it?

How does the U.S. increase the desire for Americans, particularly young Americans, to serve?

What are the barriers to participation in military, national or public service?

How can the U.S. increase participation in military, national, and public service by individuals with critical skills to address national security and other public service needs of the nation?

Is the military draft or draft contingency still a necessary component of U.S. national security?

Are modifications to the selective service system needed?

Is a mandatory service requirement for all Americans necessary, valuable, and feasible?

Man who refused wife divorce demands embryo in return for annulment

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Man-who-refused-divorce-demands-embryo-in-return-for-annulment-611484

But the husband, knowing he can not father any more children, demanded, in return for granting a divorce, his wife either undergo fertility treatment herself to have the last remaining embryo implanted, or to give him ownership over the embryo so he could have another child through a surrogate mother.

The judges of the rabbinical court, rabbis Avraham Shemen, Avraham Avidar, and David Grozman issued a ruling that the embryo did not belong to either parent and the husband’s demand his wife get pregnant from the embryo was not reasonable.

The unique life story of Rabbi Berel Wein, a scholar of the past

https://www.jpost.com/judaism/The-unique-life-story-of-Rabbi-Berel-Wein-a-scholar-of-the-past-611432

Throughout his stories and lectures, Wein attempts to impart one basic message. “In my opinion, Jewish history is the key to faith and to belief, and to explain what we’re doing here in Israel. If you have no idea of where you are coming from, you have no idea where you are going.”
