One of the ships in the 6 boat flotilla being escorted by an Israeli Navy Ship.

Enjoy hypocrisy? This past weekend you could glut the appetite.

On Monday, Israeli ships stopped a flotilla carrying materials that could be used for war, including cement that Israel maintained could be used to build bunkers, to Hamas-ruled Gaza. The crew of one boat resisted violently, triggering a firefight in which nine people were killed, most of them Turkish nationals.

When Daniel Popov’s grandmother was a little girl, she was rounded up with her family by the Nazis, and made to wait for a transport. As they were standing in line, the little girl’s mother asked her to get her some water. Strangely, the Nazi officer allowed her out of the line. When she returned, everyone was gone. The entire group had been transported to Zmievskaya Balka, where they were murdered.

ULY Students Awarded for Tanya Baal Peh Achievements

A view of the participating boys, with (from L to R), Rabbi Yoseph Y. Simpson, principal, Rabbi Mordechai Kanelsky, Mrs. Shterney Kanelsky and their sons, Mendy and Zalmy, students at Lubavitcher Yeshiva/

Seventy one students of the United Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Crown Heights learned Tanya Ba’al Peh as part of a program begun by Rabbi Mordechai and Mrs. Shterney Kanelsky of the Bris Avrohom Center in Hillside, New Jersey. The Bas Sheva Mitzvah Campaign to Greet Moshiach was launched in loving memory of their beloved daughter, Bat Sheva ob”m, who passed away seven years ago. The fact that there were seventy one students who participated in the program this year at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva is significant because this is the 71st anniversary of the institution in America.
