Part 189: Saturday night, 10pm 14th May 66

Can hardly realise have been back to school in the old train-train – and living only to finish the next 9½ working days, when there will be a week’s mid-term break. Have concocted a mish-mash for the “Jewish Humour” thing. Mum did have Royte Pomerantzen [YIDDISH HUMOUR Royte Pomerantsen, or How to Laugh in Yiddish ed. I Olsvanger, review published in J.C. 11/03/1966], although she had insisted…

La preuve par 300 prépuces: le sionisme est extrémiste par essence

Certains imaginent qu’il existe un sionisme modéré (j’ai moi-même dû employer cet oxymore) mais c’est en réalité une illusion qui est en train de se dissiper sous nos yeux. On constate par exemple que ceux que d’aucuns considéraient comme des sionistes modérés, les travaillistes, sont aujourd’hui à la marge de l’échiquier politique sioniste. De toute façon, si les travaillistes ont certainement…

11 Sivan - Bnei Brak - 1924

On this day in 1924, the town of B’nai Brak was settled just east of Tel Aviv in Israel. The town is originally mentioned in the Book of Yehoshua and is most famous for being the place of the all-night Seder mentioned in the Passover Haggadah that was led by R’ Akiva. During the 4th Aliyah, 8 Chassidic families immigrated from Poland intending to build a religious agricultural settlement. By 1933, those 8 families had attracted over 1,000 others including the Chazon Ish who was considered the leading Rabbi in Israel until he died in 1953. The Jewish world was being guided from his little house in the town. By 1948, the population would be almost 10,000, and today there are nearly 200,000 residents. In 1950, B’nai Brak became an official city of the young State of Israel.

Much of the growth and development of B’nai Brak can be attributed to R’ Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman. R’ Kahaneman had already led the city of Ponevezh in Lithuania for 20 years. One of the largest Jewish cities in Lithuania, under his tutelage the city exploded as a center of Torah. At the outbreak of WWII, he was on a trip to Israel and found himself stranded there. He continued to run the city’s institutions from afar. In 1941, the city of Ponevezh was decimated first by the Red Army and then a few days later by the Nazis y”s. The local Yeshiva was destroyed and all its students were murdered. What was R’ Kahaneman’s response? Within two years he opened the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak with Rommel and the Nazis just a few sand dunes away in North Africa. As Europe was up in smoke, he saw his duty to rebuild Torah in Israel. Within a few months, Rommel would be dead and the Ponevezh Yeshiva would be on its way to making R’ Kahaneman’s vision a reality.

18 years ago, this brave 17 year old girl named Ella Abecassis z"l performed the ultimate act of heroism. She put her own life in danger to protect the life of her 10 year old brother during a rocket barrage from Gaza.

She, her brother and her friend were returning home after Bnei Akiva activities in Sderot. They were a few meters away from their house when rocket sirens started to sound. The 3 of them managed to cross the road by running but then they heard the whistle of the rocket coming closer to them. Ella didn't hesitate and she jumped on her brother and protected him with her body. At that moment a Qassam missile landed and exploded about five meters behind her. As a result of the explosion, Ella was fatally injured by shrapnel that hit her head and died. Her brother was moderately wounded in the head too but survived.

Ella performed the ultimate act of courage, heroism and sacrifice to save the life of her loved one.

May her memory be for a blessing.

I have these thoughts, about how fucked up it is that people use "genocide" and "holocaust" BECAUSE it's jews and a Jewish state they talk about.

How, even if it was genocide-

(it's not)

- out of 15 shades of genocide in the last century, you make sure to compare to something that happened to us.

That is still happening, because this is what being Jewish is-

"that in every generation", we say every year, "they are standing for us to parish us."

"שבכל דור ודור עומדים עלינו לכלותנו".

And the "them" isn't spesified (it's not like it's one. And they keep changing. Whoever has the power to.)

And it is present, continues, because it is ALWAYS and it's a warning and a promise and a reminder. It's happening. Now, tomorrow - it's coming.

Always.

I think about over two thousands bloody years.

I think about the way the holocaust shaped us -

The way The Destruction shaped us -

Two thousand years of blood and exiles and -

From the burning of The House to the burning homes in the ghettos.

I think about the way HaKhurban, The Destruction, is one word. A Name.

(there's one, big event)

I think the way HaShoa, the Disaster, is one word. A name.

I think about the destruction of the foundation, of Dat and Bnei Israel and the way it had to be shifted, as a way of life that is so inherently related to land, that it took about hundreds of years to make the transition from a Home, Beit HaMikdash, meaning "house of the hollying" to smaller houses of worship, Batey Knesset, meaning "houses of gathering".

I think about turning from a nation to smaller communities, Kehilot.

I think about destruction and ashes and death.

I think about shattered glass and people burning with holly places, and I don't know if it's 80 or 2000 years ago.

I think about destruction

I think about glass, melting in the heat. Turning to new shapes.

I think about waves, going back and forth.

I think about the doors of Nikanor, and a hidden basket on the Nile, and overcrowded ships.

I think about communities burning, living behind one from town, two from family. An ember saved from the Pyre.

I think about the destruction of communities.

I think about the re-forging of a nation.

(it isn't pretty. It isn't gentle. It is broken and painful and destructive and heat)

I think about Rabi Akiva looking at the destroyed Kodesh HaKodashim, the Holliest chamber in the Holliest place, where even the Kohen Gadol can only enter once a year.

I think about foxes running around, in the violated, broken sanctuary.

(I think about bones, dry and old, rising from their graves and forming a structure. I think about the pain of recreating neurons and muscles and skin)

I think about Rabi Akiva, and remember -

(He laughed)

Documents exclusively obtained by NBC News show that Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa'ad, to "kill as many people as possible," seize hostages and quickly move them into the Gaza Strip. The documents were found on the bodies of Hamas terrorists by Israeli first responders and shared with NBC News. They include detailed maps and show that Hamas intended to kill or take hostage civilians and school children. One page labeled “Top Secret” outlines a plan of attack for Kfar Sa’ad, saying “Combat unit 1” is directed to “contain the new Da’at school,” while “Combat unit 2” is to “collect hostages,” “search the Bnei Akiva youth center” and “search the old Da’at school.” One IDF official, who declined to be named while the investigation is ongoing, said he was astounded by the degree of planning that went into ensuring maximum civilian casualties. He said, "I've never seen this kind of detailed planning" for a mass terrorist attack.

Just to be clear..... the operation took place on a Saturday. Which is a weekend.

#freshly printed copies barely folded in half twice what are they ON #do they think people write secret attack plans out in detailed steps saying ''TOP SECRET'' at the top and ''KILL THE KIDS'' at the bottom #clownery #palestine

Iran attack draws dark humor from captive Israeli audience

There’s nothing like a dose of existential dread to turn the People of the Book into the People of the Meme. And with millions of Israelis doomscrolling social media from their safe rooms, the jokesters took full advantage of their captive audiences.

Days before the barrage of some 300 or so projectiles were fired by Iran at Israel overnight Saturday, Israelis stocked up on some humor alongside their canned hummus beans and six-packs of water.

Another said he was less concerned about the imminent attack from Iran, but would like to pitch Sarah Silverman to play his character in the resulting Netflix movie.

Dry Israeli-British humor played well, including a quip from journalist Matthew Kalman who said, “First direct flights from Iran to Israel since 1979.”

Get The Times of Israel's Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories

By signing up, you agree to the terms

Not to be outdone, executive director of StandWithUs Israel Michael Dickson said what many wide-awake Jewish Israelis were thinking, “Well, if we’re going to be up all night, we might as well do the Seder already,” referring to the ritual meal launching the week of Passover next Monday night.

Journalist Matthew Kalman on Facebook: ‘First direct flights from Iran to Israel since 1979.

The memes cranked up once word was out that dozens of car-sized drones had been launched from Iran and were rather slowly making their way to Israel.

A massively shared image charted the unmanned aerial vehicles’ progress to major Israeli cities, giving their expected arrival times in a format used for announcements of the entrance of Shabbat.

Another showed a dial — a la food delivery app Wolt — of the missiles’ estimated time of arrival.

Estimated time of arrival of Iranian projectiles – 540 minutes – from the food delivery app Wolt

Many pranksters took screen grabs from major Israeli news networks and “improved” them with new captions.

One showed the three forms of projectiles shot from Iran to Israel alongside their flight times — and advised which form of food one should make during their journeys: Ballistic missiles take 12 minutes (sandwich), cruise missiles can take two hours (matbucha, a cooked Middle Eastern tomato/pepper salad) and drones should arrive in up to nine hours (cholent).

A parody of a Talmudic discussion from the Passover Hagaddah, saying, ‘It happened once [on Pesach] that Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah, Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Tarfon were reclining in Bnei Brak and were waiting for the unmanned armed vehicles that whole night…’ (courtesy)

On X, communications guru Sara Eisen came up with a slew of pithy inspired limericks to pass the time, including this biblically inspired gem: “Haman of old was a Persian / These days there’s a ballistic version / That takes all the old hate / Which it hurls towards a state / It’s the same strange obsessive perversion.”

A limerick from marketing and communications guru Sara Eisen on X. (courtesy)

Parody of ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ (courtesy)

For many working Israeli parents already at a loss for how to occupy their school-aged children during the Passover break, the news that the daycare system would be shuttered Sunday brought a new onslaught of black humor.

As one parent put it, “In the meantime in the daycare’s Whatsapp group: ‘If the drones are meant to arrive by 4:00 a.m., what reason is there to not open the daycare as usual?!'”

Other parents made “kosher for Passover” parody sequel posters of favorite childhood movies, including “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs — Iran-style.”

Finally, showing appreciation for a heralded hero of the war against Hamas (remember that?), a much-shared image of IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari was captioned with, “We’re all going to die — except for [“Fauda” star and singer] Idan Amedi.”

JEWISH TERRORISM & GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS IN THE OCCUPIED HOLY HAND SINCE 1948, AND STILL CONTINUING BY KILLING OF HELPLESS & INNOCENT CHILDREN, WOMEN AND OLD PEOPLE UNDER THE EYES OF IMPOTENT WORLD LEADERS, GOD FORBID, AMEN.

July 3, 2014, Rabbi Noam Perel, Head of the largest Orthodox Judaic youth movement, B’nei Akiva, calls for indiscriminate murder:

July 4, 2014, Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yishai, Minsiter for Strategic Threats Moshe Ya’alon, and Chief of Israeli Central Command Major General Avi Mizrahi honor the racist Rabbi Dov Lior who endorsed the manual on killing gentiles, Torat Hamalech.

July 7, 2014, Israelis abducted and burned alive a teenager, Mohammed Abu Khedair, then ferociously beat his American cousin, Tariq Khdeir, visiting on holiday.

Warning: The videos are graphic.

After his cousin was abducted and burned alive by Israelis, Tariq Khdeir, an American, was ferociously beaten.

July 1, 2014, Jewish “Defense” League provokes French opponents of Israeli genocide in Gaza:

http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2014/07/video-of-jdl-provocateurcowards-at.html

July 14, 2014, Israeli Member of the Knesset for the “Jewish Home” party (and Justice Minister since 2015) Ayelet Shaked stated that all Palestinian mothers should be killed so they do not raise any more “little snakes.”

“On Monday [June 30, 2014] Shaked quoted this on her Facebook page: ‘Behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.’

‘They have to die and their houses should be demolished so that they cannot bear any more terrorists,’ said Shaked. Standing behind the operations on Gaza, ‘they are all our enemies and their blood should be on our hands. This also applies to the mothers of the dead terrorists,’ Shaked added.

A day before Palestinian teenager Muhammad Abu Khudair was kidnapped and burned alive [above] allegedly by six Israeli Jewish youths, Shaked published on Facebook a call for genocide of the Palestinians

It’s why many national security experts are looking at Tehran, not Gaza, regarding the training and logistics needed to carry out the heinous October 7 attack committed by Hamas against Israel. Around 1,000 terrorists stormed the Gaza border, killing over 1,200 Israelis in the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. It was an invasion with the only goal being to kill as many Israelis as possible. Newly discovered top-secret Hamas documents show a detailed layout of the kibbutzim, methodically collecting intelligence on each community. Iran has already said they helped Hamas plan this attack for at least the past several weeks (via NBC News):

Documents exclusively obtained by NBC News show that Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa'ad, to "kill as many people as possible," seize hostages and quickly move them into the Gaza Strip. The attack plans, which are labeled "top secret" in Arabic, appear to be orders for two highly trained Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather. Israeli authorities are still determining the death toll in Kfar Sa'ad. The documents were found on the bodies of Hamas terrorists by Israeli first responders and shared with NBC News. They include detailed maps and show that Hamas intended to kill or take hostage civilians and school children. One page labeled “Top Secret” outlines a plan of attack for Kfar Sa’ad, saying “Combat unit 1” is directed to “contain the new Da’at school,” while “Combat unit 2” is to “collect hostages,” “search the Bnei Akiva youth center” and “search the old Da’at school.” Another page labeled “Top Secret Maneuver” describes a plan for a Hamas unit to secure the east side of Kfar Sa’ad while a second unit controls the west. It says “kills as many as possible” and “capture hostages.” Other orders include surrounding a dining hall and holding hostages in it. The detailed plan to attack Kfar Sa'ad is part of a trove of documents that Israeli officials are analyzing, according to one source in the Israeli army and one in the government. Surveillance video of Hamas terrorists entering a kibbutz on Oct. 7 shows tactics similar to those laid out in the documents obtained by NBC News. The Israeli officials said that the wider group of documents show that Hamas had been systematically gathering intelligence on each kibbutz bordering Gaza and creating specific plans of attack for each village that included the intentional targeting of women and children.

Another side of Jerusalem Day.

This is a pic of my friend Naftali Aklum. His brother was an unsung Mossad agent and hero who was key to leading thousands of Ethiopian Jews from Ethiopia via Sudan to Israel in a secret Mossad operation.

For those who don't know, Jerusalem Day is also a memorial day for the ~4000 Jews of the Ethiopian community who died along the long dangerous journey to Israel.

In this pic on Mount Herzl, my friend stands at the memorial for the Ethiopian Jews who perished, while pointing at the name of his grandfather who perished in Sudan. May their memories be a blessing!

"The story of Ethiopian Jewry is an essential part of the story of Zionism and the history of the Jewish people," said Yair Shachal, secretary-general of Bnei Akiva.

More about Naftali's hero brother here:

More about the memorial day here:

On the 28th of Iyar (today's Jewish date), the State of Israel also marks the memorial day for members of the Ethiopian Jewish community who perished on their way to Israel.

A mass emigration of Ethiopian Jews ("Beta Israel") took place in the years 1980-1984, from their villages in the area of Gundar and through Sudan. Many of them, who had dreamed for many years of making Aliyah to Israel, managed to flee Ethiopia and arrive at the Ethiopian-Sudanese border, where they waited in provisional camps to make Aliyah. The passage through Sudan was made possible by an unspoken agreement, known only to a few senior officials in Sudan. Agents of the Mossad awaited the immigrants at the Sudanese border and instructed them to hide their Jewish identity.

On their escape routes and in the Sudanese camps, they suffered from disease, hunger and acts of harassment, rape, and violent robberies. The families, with their elderly and younger members, walked for long periods of up to several months and were forced to wait in refugee camps in Sudan for up to two years until they could be rescued and brought to Israel.

Approximately 4,000 members of the community perished on the way and in the camps, in their attempt to arrive at Israel. The instructions they were given by the Mossad agents to conceal their Jewish identity made it difficult for them to observe the laws of kashrut and ritual purity; in the desert, they could not bury their dead for fear of robbers, and in their camps, they could not perform Jewish burial ceremonies for fear of the Sudanese guards.

Operation Moses, the first national operation for bringing Ethiopian Jewry to Israel, began in November 1984. The operation was done in secret and brought over some 8,000 Ethiopian Jews on Israeli aircraft. A leak of information to the Israeli press brought the operation to an end before schedule. Many families were left behind, torn apart and separated; they remained there until May 1991, when 14,324 immigrants were brought within 36 hours during Operation Solomon.

In 1989, the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption erected a temporary memorial for the Ethiopian Jews who perished on the way to Israel. This memorial was set up at Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, with the help of the Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) and the Jewish Agency. In late 2003, the Ministerial Committee for Immigration, Absorption and the Diaspora decided that a permanent memorial would be established at Mt. Herzl. The government decided that a national memorial ceremony for those who perished would be held each year on the 28th of Iyar, Jerusalem Day.

In March 2007, the memorial for Ethiopian Jews who perished on the way to Israel was dedicated in the southern part of Mt. Herzl. The area surrounding the memorial serves as a gathering place in which people can cherish the memory of the courage and the loss of the thousands of Ethiopian Jews who perished on their way to Israel.
