- President Trump says Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Bahrain asked him not to blast Iran immediately and instead to keep the economic pressure and blockade in place. DONALD TRUMP: "I could end it immediately at the request of the nations that I'm looking to protect we are doing it a little bit longer way, a little bit more civilly. Saudi Arabia has asked me to please just let it be the way it is now for a while, because they're disintegrating. Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, all of them would much prefer the waiting period

- Microsoft says some servers brought back online are becoming unresponsive again once they start receiving traffic, setting back recovery more than six hours into the Microsoft 365 outage. In its latest update at 6:06 p.m. CT, Microsoft said it is analyzing diagnostic data to identify what is triggering the failures. The company is limiting some traffic to affected infrastructure in certain locations and rebuilding some servers with a previous configuration to see if they remain stable.
- Multiple major online services are reportedly experiencing outages, including Microsoft products such as Outlook, Microsoft 365, Teams, Azure, OneDrive, the Microsoft Store, Copilot and Microsoft accounts.
- Israeli election Chanel 13 reporter: The comprehensive legal document held by the negotiating teams of the Change Bloc states that there is no legal basis for the current demands being made by the ultra-Orthodox parties regarding an exemption from military service. This document serves as a guiding principle for members of the Change Bloc, meaning it will be very difficult for them to move forward with granting an exemption from military service.
Amit Segal reports A high-level meeting was held two days ago at the home of the son of the Slonimer Rebbe to formulate the chasidishe factions’ demands ahead of negotiations. Participants included a prominent Rebbe, representatives of the Ger and Vizhnitz communities, and rabbonim. The document suggests there have already been contacts with the Attorney General. Their demands include personal signed commitments from all 48 members of the Change Bloc to support military exemptions, as well as an override clause allowing the exemption to stand even if the High Court strikes it down, modeled on legislation passed by the Rabin government regarding the import of chazer to EY.

- Trump: I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood! We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT
- Trump: NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place - TIM COOK of Apple. A Legend replaces a Legend! President DONALD J. TRUMP
- Lakewood is one of the most Republican municipalities in New Jersey. Donald Trump carried it by 76 percentage points in 2024, and Jack Ciattarelli won it by 81 points in last year’s gubernatorial election. But last week, Lakewood voted for a Democrat, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, in what became a miraculous 96-point swing in New Jersey’s fifth-largest municipality. The results offer another demonstration of the unusual political influence of the Lakewood Vaad, the influential Orthodox Jewish community leadership organization whose endorsements can transcend party lines in a municipality that has become one of New Jersey’s most important political constituencies..
"the conservative leanings of Lakewood voters mean even the Vaad can’t deliver huge pluralities to a Democrat and sometimes, they can’t deliver a win". In 2021, after the Vaad backed Gov. Phil Murphy for re-election, Ciattarelli still won the town by 23 points.(NJ Globe)
- A new caravan of nearly 2,000 people appearing to come from Central and South America is making its way toward the U.S. southern border following Democrats’ midterm landslide.

- President Trump has privately questioned whether the June memorandum of understanding with Iran was a costly mistake, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing two officials.

- Lalewood shuttle: Why is it not servicing ALL of the community: I see some routes on the bus are completely geared to the chassidish community. Aren't we all paying taxes? Why aren't the routes for all of Lakewood?? The bus should run up and down 14th/county line, central ave, James street, route 9, hope, cross, clifton/cedarbridge etc. Make it a "city bus" for all of Lakewood to use so the bochurim yungeleit and maybe even hs girls can use it to get to school if they miss their busses ( right now most busses are very early and bochurim are not using the school bus)Submitted.
- Trump: If the Democrats want to “root out corruption,” they should start with investigating Blue States, perhaps the most CORRUPT governmental structures and entities anywhere on Earth. Big time money is being stolen each and every hour of the day! President DJT
How can someone with a flip phone sign up for Moishe's weekly emails without needing to scan a QR code?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
He can have his friends that post comments on blogs do it for him When they’re sleeping.
DeleteWhy the need to be cynical?
DeleteI would also like to know.
Can someone please chime in?
Most probably will advertise in the local papers or the Yated
Deletego to https://howell.moishas.com/coming-soon/signup/
DeleteThank you!
Deletevery sad that frum people engage with Zionist shmad
ReplyDeleteNo, not sad at all.
DeleteSad is that the shemad exists. But that is not in our hands yet.
If today is the yarzeit of RAK, why did we say tachanun this morning?
ReplyDeleteThe shuttle does go to https://www.lakewoodnj.gov/bussing and read the routes.
ReplyDeleteThe best place to put shuttles are places where people use them, not places where people want them so "Everyone else will take them" and the roads will be clear for me.
If only a small segment of the town population is using the bus, why should the town pay for it?
DeleteAnd if they can't drive and are stranded without the bus they should at least pay for it, why is it free?
Zionist chief rabbi davened at Philadelphia yeshiva this morning, and was honored with an aliyah.
ReplyDeleteIn my Shul he would get an Aliya also.
DeleteIt would have also been appropriate to indicate that , despite being a zionist, he is also a talmid chochom.
DeleteBut that's not why they gave him an aliyah. They honored the position he holds, not the person.
DeleteYou shul would give an aliah to בןגוריוןשרי and his friends.
DeleteThat means he deserves to be honored.
ReplyDeleteRav Ovadia gave a shiur in Lakewood.
When the zionest r Avadia Yosef spoke in the BMG dining room bochurim shut off the lights! Lol
ReplyDelete
DeleteThe Satmar chevra / mechutzafim called in a bomb scare. I was standing right there in the lobby and Rav Schneuer was livid! He told them that "the
Tateh' had no less Yiras shamyim than "dein Rebbe" and he had R Ovadia say a shiur!
R Shneur also didn't allow the usage of chassidish haavara from the Amud
DeleteThough he did allow oi
berlander eg R Dovid Hersch Maiyer z"l
And Reb Shneur was mechabed Reb Ovadya Yoseph with a shiur in BMG
ReplyDeleteDifference is Rav Shneur honored HoRav Ovadia because he's a talmid chacham, and not because of his position working for the Israeli government.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to who?
DeleteInstead of going on and on about Zionism, how about putting an end to the Satmar machlokes? The whole world knows about it. A shanda!
It DID end!
DeleteI think we should mind our own petty fights like the one in ponevez is far more better than anything satmerr has ever fought.... For far longer 40 years and counting with no end in sight shame on us
DeleteMoishas & Gourmet Glatt have almost identical products and price just different sales Moisha's has more space both overpriced on produce. Aldi across the road albeit limited line and sells out in a few hours produce is practically half the price or less on many items except green squash. I guess the Howell kehila is growing so, it works or may well be al datfieich atfeich ulevasof metayefeich yetayfun. There was an NPGS in Jackson no need for another store across the road. I wouldnt mind another bingo & Costco where Howell Lakewood and Jackson meet
ReplyDeleteWatch out for infestation on Aldi's produce
DeleteReb Shlomo Lorincz wrote that he was once by the Satmar Rebbe and told him that afterwards he was going to meet someone whose haskafa was on the total opposite spectrum of the frum world as Satmar (I can just imagine what that means…) To his surprise the Satmar Rebbe asked him to send regards to that person. When he realized that R’ Lorincz was surprised the Satmar Rebbe said “he is a Talmid Chochom!”
ReplyDelete
DeleteAll such stories are embellished, translated, re-embellished, mistranslated,
"total opposite spectrum"
That is why Rav Eliyahiv gave R Lorincz an haskama on his autobiography. All on embellished stories. But I'm sure when you see it or anyone else is(mis?)quoted as saying something you want to hear you don't run to say that. And yes I have it seen it being VERY BADLY misquoted in anti-Zionist propaganda.
DeleteR Shnair did not let Avadia Yosef speak in the BM, only in the dining room
ReplyDeleteYou can't be both a Talmidim Chacham & a Zionist!
ReplyDeleteSays who? Some guy who spends way too much time pontificating online? Where is your Kovetz Yesodos V'Chakiros? Where is your sefer on the machlokesim between the Bavli and Yerushalmi? What exactly have you accomplished in learning that qualifies you to dismiss the gadlus in Torah of the Hesder Rosh Yeshiva and talmid of Mercaz HaRav who wrote those ? But I agree that you're absolutely right—from your own perspective. When you look at Torah through a political lens so heavily watermarked by anti-Zionism that you can barely see the Torah underneath, then naturally a Zionist cannot possibly be a talmid chacham. Your problem isn't that these people fail to meet the standards of Torah scholarship required to be considered talmidei chachamim. It's that, your view of Torah is so political and so based on contemporary social issues ,that even gadlus in Torah must first pass your made up test of political acceptability.
