עיין תוס' מנחות [דף ק"ט ע"ב ד"ה נזדמן וכו'] שהביאו מהירושלמי ד"וכל אדם" היינו אפילו המלאכים [וע"כ צריך לפרש הכי שהרי כל עבודות היום הן בכה"ג, וא"כ אסור לכל אדם להכנס בכדי לאהל מועד4], והרי מוכח מכאן שהמלאכים מצויין היו בבית המקדש. ועיין בכוזרי [מ"א סי' ק"ט] שחפשו הקול יהודה והאוצר נחמד מקור למה שכתב כי השכינה והמלאכים היו ביניהם, ולא מצאו סמך מפורש בנוגע למלאכים, ולפמש"כ שפיר מוכח מהירושלמי הנ"ל, והוא מוכרח מהמקרא, ודו"ק.

Palgei Mayim יתן למכהו וגומר. כיון שיאמין שהכל מהקב"ה לא יקשה עליו מאומה משום יסורין:

Ben Yehoyada (Sanhedrin 91a)אָמַר לֵיהּ: אִם אַתָּה עוֹשֶׂה כֵּן, רוֹפֵא אֻמָּן תִּקָּרֵא, וְשָׂכָר הַרְבֵּה תִּטֹּל. נראה לי בס"ד על דרך מה שאמר הכתוב יִתֵּן לְמַכֵּהוּ לֶחִי יִשְׂבַּע בְּחֶרְפָּה (איכה ג, ל) וכתבו המפרשים ז"ל הכונה שלפעמים ימצא פוגע עכו"ם בישראל וסוטרו על לחייו, הנה כל זה נעשה לטובת ישראל והיינו שהיה באותו ישראל חלק רע הראוי לאותו עכו"ם והיה באותו עכו"ם חלק טוב שהוא ראוי לאותו ישראל ובאותה הכאה שסוטרו על לחייו יוצא אותו חלק הרע מישראל ונכנס בעכו"ם ויוצא חלק הטוב מן עכו"ם ונכנס באותו ישראל. וזהו שנאמר יִתֵּן הישראל לְמַכֵּהוּ זה העכו"ם לֶחִי לסוטרו אז אותו העכו"ם יִשְׂבַּע בְּחֶרְפָּה שיקבל חלק הרע מישראל ויוצא ממנו חלק טוב ונמצא הוא שבע בחרפה הוא הרע וכנזכר בגורי האר"י ז"ל.

Jared Kushner’s Saudi Scam Is the Swampiest Thing He’s Ever Done

 https://newrepublic.com/article/166137/jared-kushner-mbs-saudi-corruption

The latest incident of the Trump coterie casting new light on previously routine corruption in Washington came earlier this month, courtesy not of Trump himself but of his oleaginous son-in-law. Last week, The New York Times broke the news that Jared Kushner had successfully landed billions in Saudi funding for his new private equity firm. While the deal itself may appear predictable—Kushner is hardly the only Washington insider to be showered in Saudi funding—the details were staggering and point directly to the rot at the heart not only of the broader Trump machine but of the entire edifice of Washington influence-peddling writ large.

Corruption

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption#:~:text=Corruption%20is%20a%20form%20of,power%20for%20one%27s%20personal%20gain.

Corruption is a form of dishonesty or a criminal offense which is undertaken by a person or an organization which is entrusted with a position of authority, in order to acquire illicit benefits or abuse power for one's personal gain. Corruption may involve many activities which include bribery and embezzlement, and it may also involve practices which are legal in many countries.[1] Political corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts in an official capacity for personal gain. Corruption is most common in kleptocracies, oligarchies, narco-states, and mafia states.[citation needed]

Putin demands Russia gain control of Jerusalem church as promised

 https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-704490

Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that Israel grant his country control of the Alexander Courtyard in Jerusalem as the previous Israeli government had promised, in a letter delivered to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday.

Putin’s letter came barely a day after the Foreign Ministry in Moscow slammed Foreign Minister Yair Lapid for accusing Russia of war crimes in Ukraine, saying that Israel is using Ukraine to cover up for its own conflict with the Palestinians. The Russian Foreign Ministry also summoned Israeli Ambassador Alexander Ben Zvi for a reprimand on Sunday.

Transferring the ownership of the church land could cause diplomatic trouble for Israel at a time when its Western allies have been sanctioning Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Left-wing Jewish American orgs. blast Biden admin. for serving wine from Israeli settlement

 https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/article-704528

A number of Left-wing Jewish-American organizations criticize Vice President Kamala Harris for serving wine from an Israeli settlement at her official Passover Seder on Monday.

Americans for Peace Now sent an email to its members asking them to sign a petition against serving wine that coes from Israeli settlements.

"Like many of us, this past weekend Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff held a Passover seder at their home. Unfortunately, at their Seder they unknowingly served wine produced in a West Bank settlement. A spokesperson for Harris quickly clarified that this was 'in no way intended to be an expression of policy,'" Hadar Susskind, President and CEO of Americans for Peace Now wrote in the email.

Dr Ariel Muzicant and Schlesinger twins

Betreff: Can you help?

 

Dear Mr Muzicant,

I gather at one stage you offered to help Beth Alexander find an amicable solution regarding access to her children. What changed and why weren't you prepared to help?

This appalling miscarriage of justice is putting you and so many people in such bad light and at the heart of this are two young boys denied access to their mother.

I am one of several thousand of Beth Alexander’s supporters and I sure you know that there is an increasing awareness worldwide of this appalling situation.

Something very shady has gone on here with a whiff of corruption at the heart of it. Dr Schlesinger is a known perpetrator of domestic violence, who had been previously legally barred from the household, so he could not have been awarded sole custody of his children without players influencing the courts behind the scenes. Schlesinger could not have acted alone, and it is known that some of his contacts in the IKG (Konstanze Thau and Jacob Biderman) influenced court decisions in Schlesinger’s favour in 2011.

I’m sure you’re looking forward to spending seder night with family members which sadly is not the case for Beth. Another year without her precious sons. Can you even begin to imagine what this is like this living nightmare?

She has in fact never heard her own children recite ma nishtana, nor has she spent seder night. She is being deliberately and systematically erased by her ex-husband out of her children’s lives.

The boys are now 12 and their bar mitzvah is coming up.They need their mother in their lives.

As a man with influence you know what needs to be done to resolve this terrible matter for all the family. Please do the right thing.

 

Thank you

Dear HelpBeth Supporter,

I really tried to help and I failed because both sides are impossible. And then Beth started to attack IKG with Stürmer type Videos and statements.

You are talking of “shady”. Please understand that Austria is a state where the rule of law is high and such insinuations are not acceptable.

Beth is cooperating with Moshe Arie Friedman, a close friend of Ex Iranian president Achmedinedzad.

So please do me a favor and do not contact me any further.

Before reading the email exchange below, it is important to note how Austria has a reputation for high levels of corruption throughout its government and judiciary as reported in these recent news articles.

Bat Sheva Marcus resigns from seminary board in wake of harassment allegations

 https://www.timesofisrael.com/bat-sheva-marcus-resigns-from-seminary-board-in-wake-of-harassment-allegations/

Bat Sheva Marcus, the prominent Orthodox sex therapist whose history of alleged abuse broke into public view this week, has resigned from the board of a Modern Orthodox seminary and will no longer host a sex-focused podcast with the seminary’s top rabbi.

The board chair and the rabbi announced the changes separately Thursday, three days after Marcus published an explosive essay detailing allegations of harassment that had been made against her.

The essay, and subsequent comments by two former executive directors of the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance who said Marcus had harassed them when she was president of the pioneering group’s board, has roiled the liberal Modern Orthodox community, including the seminary, Yeshivat Chovevei Torah in Riverdale, New York.

Behind new film ‘Operation Mincemeat,’ the true story of WWII’s greatest deception

 https://www.timesofisrael.com/behind-new-film-operation-mincemeat-the-true-story-of-wwiis-greatest-deception/

The fake documents — designed to convince the Nazis the attack would take place on Sardinia and Greece — eventually reached the desk of Adolf Hitler. Convinced by German intelligence that they were genuine, he fatally ordered his forces to reinforce the supposed targets, thus shifting attention from Sicily, where the Allies successfully landed just under two months later.

United Arab List to suspend cooperation with Bennett government

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/326003

The Islamic council which provides spiritual leadership for the Southern Islamic Movement and the United Arab List has instructed the party to halt all cooperation with the Bennett government, citing law enforcement efforts against Arab rioters on the Temple Mount.

The council held an emergency meeting Sunday afternoon after one of its leaders, Sheikh Mohammad Salameh Hassan, demanded the UAL party bolt the coalition and bring down the government.

At the urging of party chief MK Mansour Abbas, the council did not insist on the UAL’s immediate departure from the coalition, but instead instructed the faction to cease all cooperation with the government for the time being.

The meeting was called amid heavy pressure on the party from within the Southern Islamic Movement to bolt the government over the use of police forces to break up Arab rioting on the Temple Mount, including the insertion of Border Police officers to the Al Aqsa Mosque, after hundreds of rioters barricaded themselves inside the building last Friday.

Even some supporters of Abbas within the party have begun to express doubts about the UAL’s continued presence in the coalition.

Arab rioters stone buses en route to Western Wall

Arab rioters threw stones at three Egged buses that were en route to the Western Wall on Sunday morning, Israeli media reported.

The buses, with windows smashed, continued their journey until they could stop at a safe place. The attack took place near Lions' Gate as tensions are still high between other rioters and police at the Temple Mount

The truth behind Joe Biden's GHOST handshake may not be that 'demented' at all

 https://meaww.com/joe-biden-ghost-handshake-demented-truth

Meanwhile, Biden also bizarrely claimed that he used to be a "full professor" at the University of Pennsylvania. "I've been at a lot of university campuses, matter of fact for four years, I was a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania," he told the audience. It's worth noting that the university named Biden as the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor, the first to hold the position, in 2017. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Delaware Democrat did not teach regular classes and only made about a dozen public appearances on the campus for notable events. Nonetheless, he collected full paychecks in 2017, 2018, and early 2019. In fact, Biden reportedly minted almost $1 million from the university despite his vague role and teaching no regular classes.

Fact check: No, Biden didn't shake hands with thin air; wasn't confused [see full clip]

 https://www.ibtimes.co.in/fact-check-no-biden-didnt-shake-hands-thin-air-wasnt-confused-see-full-clip-847509

Looking at the full video, which was live-streamed by WFMY News 2 on YouTube, gives more clarity. If you fast forward to the end of the video, it becomes clear that Biden wasn't shaking hands with thin air. In fact, he was gesturing at the people on the right and eventually behind him who were cheering. He even gestures toward the crowd on the left side of the dais, but it is covered by a mic stand.
