Picture of the Day



looks like a great Purim costume

her jaws and facial muscles are going to get awfully tired and sore keeping her mouth open like that for the duration of the rally so the O looks normal..

if she keeps her mouth open that long and that wide, bugs (and maybe other things?) are going to find their way in...

save from the Jews

The population of Ireland is a bit of 5 million people, as of 2021.

The Jewish population was steady at about 2500, as of 2016.

That comes to the Jews being about 0.05% of the Irish population.

Yet somehow the Jews are a threat to Ireland.

The following sign was hung over a St Patrick's Day parade in Cincinnati... 


Are the Jews of Ireland really such a threat to the country despite their miniscule numbers?

Should the Irish of Cincinnati be more worried about Cincinnati being saved from the Jews - Cincinnati has a population of about 308000, with the Jewish population at about 32000. That's about 10%, far greater than the population of Jews in Ireland. And if we look at Ohio in total, the Jews are about 1.3% of Ohio with about 117000 of about 12 million... 

And with the Irish population of Cincinnati hanging in at about 11%, or about 13% of Ohio, perhaps we should save Ohio/Cincinnati form the Irish. They seem to be more of a threat (not sure of what) than the Jews are to Ireland...

Interesting Psak: tone down Purim celebrations

Rav Dovid Yosef, Rav of Har Nof and candidate for Chief Rabbi of Israel, has issued a psak in light of the ongoing war and the approaching Purim holiday.

Rav Yosef said that with the country at war, with daily reports of fallen soldiers and the situation being difficult, this year people should celebrate Purim at home and not celebrate in public. All the requirements and mitzvahs of Purim should be fulfilled as necessary, but the public sphere should be toned down - there should not be dancing and celebration in the streets. We need to be very careful.

Rav Yosef said that when the general public sees the religious celebrating as if the troubles of the Jewish People are not connected to them, it does not look good. It causes a chilul hashem. The rabbonim and rosh yeshivas and the public in general should do whatever is possible to keep the parties to a low profile this Purim... we daven and we feel the pain of the soldiers and their families and the hostages, and how can we then celebrate as if nothing happened. At least in public we should be very careful and not allow it to appear as if we do not care for the troubles the nation is experiencing..

Remember what Amalek did (video)

wow. I like how Guy Hochman came up with this and took it to this initiative, with the focus on the goal of unity, of what amalek did and how to return that, without taking it to a place of kiruv and geula

B'ezrat Hashem Nenatseach Ari Goldwag & Zevi Kaufman (video)

The title track of Ari Goldwag’s latest album, a duet with Zevi Kaufman, speaks of the secret weapon of our soldiers which is in our spiritual power, as represented by the power of tefillin, which so many soldiers are using in their battle, and our sages say causes the nations to fear us. Zevi brought this concept to Ari and it forms the core of the song. Ari composed the intro section of the song ״בעזרת ה׳ ננצח״ at the request of the soldier Elisha Loewenstern 3 weeks into the war of חרבות ברזל. He asked for a song which would help strengthen the soldiers in their עבודת ה׳ as it manifests in their battle in Gaza. 6 weeks later Elisha Hy'd fell in battle. We decided to connect this theme with the tefillin battle song, and to dedicate the song in Elisha’s memory. Elisha’s son Eitan Loewenstern features in the music video.

Quote of the Day

Nothing will happen if we leave people in their positions for a few more months. This will cause difficulty with the investigations. The General Staff had a total failure on October 7 and that brought upon us one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the State, and it did not just fail on October 7 but also was a total failure for years leading up to it with a conception that collapsed... This General Staff will not shape the future leadership of the IDF. It cannot appoint the generals that will fix the IDF. There is no faith in them for this. We support them now completely to win the war, and nothing else.

  -- Finance Minister Betzalel Smotritch, regarding the possibility that the current Chief of Staff and his team will make a round of appointments now of new generals and commanders. 

Smotritch makes a fair point. Too bad the journalist he was talking to was not bold enough to ask about the government part in this that led to the failures of October 7 with the conception that collapsed, and perhaps we should not let them make appointments either. We are trusting them now completely but only to win the war and that's it. The government made up of people who came up with and support the conception of Hamas being necessary and good (to undermine the PA), that Hamas is deterred, that Hamas is paid off and wont make trouble, is also not trusted to shape the government and make decisions as to how this will be fixed.

manna from heaven

Look at that.... manna falls from heaven and they make an unboxing video to show what is included in the humanitarian aid and what is wrong with it... as an aside, how starving can they be if they can complain about their free food? the worst meal he ever had? The Palestinians actually sound pretty Jewish...
