Flashback: Fred Trump Sr. Donates Land, Builds Synagogue in Brooklyn
by Shifra on July 20, 2020President Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has called his father, Fred Trump Sr., a “sociopath.” Yeah, no. Here is the account from Rabbi Shmuel Wagner, now living in Israel, the son of Rabbi Yisroel Wagner, who, in 1956, met with Fred Trump. Note: “shul” is Yiddish for “synagogue.” Via Queens Jewish Link. ….Rabbi Yisroel Wagner survived the Holocaust and made his way to Bolivia, in South America, where he served as the rav of a Jewish community. In 1950, he and his wife moved to California and a few years later to New York, where he became a rabbi in a residential area of Brooklyn, near Brighton Beach. Fred Trump owned 31 buildings in the area, with many Jewish tenants….Reb Shmuel...

Israeli Diplomats Praise Ric Grenell As Most Significant US Ambassador
by Shifra on May 27, 2020The Leftists in Germany might be glad that Ric Grenell is leaving his Berlin post. But Israeli diplomats say he will be sorely missed. Via Jerusalem Post. The departure of US ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell this week prompted a wave of accolades for his diplomatic work from important Israeli ambassadors based in continental Europe. Grenell’s robust diplomacy to advance human freedom will be deeply missed in Europe. He served as US president Donald Trump’s go-to ambassador for the continent. Within a mere two years, he quickly earned kudos as a “force of nature” who secured diplomatic results. For Israel, Grenell was the most significant US ambassador in Europe with respect to fighting contemporary antisemitism and moving the security interests...

Holocaust Remembrance Day: ‘Japanese Schindler’ Saved 1000s Of Jews
by Shifra on April 21, 2020Today is Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day. This year marks 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. But, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, today will be commemorated differently – online. And the traditional two-minute siren at 10 a.m., where the entire country of Israel stops to remember, will mostly be done at home. Several years ago, I wrote about Sugihara, known as the ‘Japanese Schindler,’ who saved several thousands of Jews during WWII. This year, the story of Sugihara was told on Siriius XM’s ‘American Voices With Sen. Bill Bradley,’ and it won the National Edward R. Murrow Award for News Documentary and National Headliners Award: Heroism In The Face Of Genocide: Chiune Sugihara, The Japanese Consul Who Saved...

Cop Stops Doctor For Speeding, Gives Her… Protective Masks
by Shifra on April 2, 2020Because this is who we are. Via NY Post. A police officer who pulled over a doctor for speeding let her go with a warning — and handed her five N95 masks instead of a ticket, she wrote in a Facebook post…. “He went back to his patrol car to look up my license, and when he returned, quite firmly told me it was very irresponsible of me to be speeding, especially since I would not only take up resources if I got into an accident, but would also not be in a position to help patients,” she wrote in the post. But instead of a fine, the trooper let her off with a warning, she wrote. “As I sputtered...

Deputy National Security Adviser: Military Dog Injured In ISIS Raid Will Recover
by Shifra on October 28, 2019Great News! Via Daily Wire. During Saturday night’s military raid that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a military working dog was injured. While no human U.S. military members were injured, the dog received severe injuries after al-Baghdadi blew himself up to avoid capture. The dog, whose name and breed have not been disclosed, chased al-Baghdadi, cornering him in a tunnel in his compound. The terrorist leader was wearing a belt lined with explosives. He detonated the belt, killing himself and at least three of his own children, to avoid being captured by U.S. authorities. My former employer The Washington Examiner reported that it was the heroic actions of the military dog that led to al-Baghdadi’s...

Kayla Mueller’s Mom: If Obama Was As Decisive As Trump, Daughter Might Still Be Alive
by Shifra on October 28, 2019Here’s another lame Lib headline, desperately trying to snatch the huge win from President Trump, this one from NBC News: “The killing of al-Baghdadi is a win Trump needed, but the credit could be fleeting–Analysis: The ISIS leader is hardly a household name, as was Osama bin Laden.” Really? The parents of Kayla Mueller disagree: Via Fox News. The family of slain aid worker and ISIS prisoner Kayla Mueller on Sunday praised President Trump and the commandos who pulled off the daring raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — but also delivered a stinging rebuke regarding President Obama’s handling of Mueller’s capture…. Marsha Mueller, the woman’s mother, praised President Trump and the Special Operations commandos who raided the...

13 Children of Fallen 9/11 Firefighters Join the NYFD
by Shifra on September 11, 2019It’s been eighteen years since the horror of 9/11. According to Jewish tradition, each Hebrew letter corresponds to a number, and one can calculate the numerical value of a word by adding the letters together. The Hebrew word for “life” is “chai,” and the numerical equivalent is 18. So it seems fitting that on the eighteenth anniversary of that day, a new generation of firefighters is ‘blossoming.’ Via NY Post. ….On the eve of the 18th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, the current FDNY Academy class, set to graduate in two weeks, includes 13 members — 12 men and one woman — whose firefighter fathers were murdered on 9/11, The Post has learned…. “I think it’s a...

Image Of Soldier Placing Flag At Tomb Of Unknown Soldier During Storm Goes Viral
by Shifra on May 26, 2019On this Memorial Day weekend: May God bless everyone who protected our country and sacrificed everything so we may be free. Via Daily Mail. An image showing a soldier placing an American flag at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier during a severe thunderstorm at Arlington National Cemetery has gone viral. Each year, the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, which is named ‘The Old Guard,’ places flags at each grave in the Virginia cemetery ahead of Memorial Day weekend. However, severe weather blew in with heavy rain pouring down on the cemetery, along with gale-force winds on Thursday. As onlookers ran for cover, the soldiers carried on with their duty including one who stood out from the crowd. Determined to honor...

‘Tree of Life’ Rabbi: I Saw Warm Side To Trump That America Hasn’t Seen
by Shifra on November 1, 2018CNN’s Alisyn Camerota must have been very disappointed with this interview; It’s so out-of-sync with the network’s Trump-bashing narrative. Via Daily Caller. Tree of Life synagogue Rabbi Jeffrey Myers said he was “pleasantly surprised” by President Donald Trump’s warmth and compassion during his visit to Pittsburgh, on CNN’s “New Day” Thursday. “I was privileged to have a private 15 or 20 minutes with the [Trump] family. The president was very warm, very consoling,” Myers said. “He put his hand on my shoulder and the first question he asked me was, ‘Rabbi, tell me how are you doing?’ And I must say throughout the time we spent together, I was pleasantly surprised by a warm and personal side to the president...

Video: President Trump Stops Motorcade To Thank Ohio Firefighters
by Shifra on August 6, 2018Remember when Obama stopped his motorcade to thank firefighters? Yeah, neither do I. But here’s what I do remember: Obama forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations by ordering a Marine to hold an umbrella so that he wouldn’t get wet. Via American Mirror. In a moment that will undoubtedly be ignored by the mainstream media, a cell phone video from Ohio on Saturday shows President Trump halting his motorcade so he could shake hands with firemen. The video, taken by one of the participants, shows several firefighters standing or kneeling as the President’s motorcade approaches the venue. [email protected] stops his motorcade to thank fireman.

by Shifra on June 22, 2018When Charles Krauthammer shared the news that he had only a few weeks to live, Tammy tweeted the following. Beautifully said, it speaks to his dignity and strength: Too many stories about people taking their lives. Here is a man who fought for life in the face of catastrophic tragedies.

Video: Ballgame Announces No Anthem… Crowd Sings It Anyway
by Shifra on May 27, 2018As Tammy says: I love us. Via Fox News. What happens when the national anthem isn’t played before a ballgame? In Fresno, Calif., first the crowd boos, then it takes it upon themselves to sing it anyway — a cappella. In a show of patriotism before Memorial Day, the crowd at a high school softball championship game at Fresno State’s Margie Wright Diamond on Friday night launched into their own rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” after it was announced that the song wouldn’t be played because it had already been played before an earlier game…. Bob Kayajanian, event coordinator, told the Bee that when more than one game is played in a day, the anthem is typically played only before...

On Holocaust Remembrance Day: Truus Wijsmuller, Dutch Woman Who Saved Thousands of Jews
by Shifra on April 12, 2018Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. With all the unspeakable evil of that time, there were also shining examples of humanity and love. This is one of those stories: Via Times of Israel: Truus Wijsmuller saved thousands of Jews in WWII. Why has no one heard of her? ….Other rescuers are household names: Steven Spielberg made a Hollywood film about Oskar Schindler. Streets in countries worldwide are named for Raoul Wallenberg. Nicholas Winton was knighted by Queen Elizabeth. But few, even in the Netherlands, have heard of Wijsmuller since her death in 1978 at 82. Seventy-two years after the end of World War II, not many of the mainly German- and Austrian-Jewish children whom Wijsmuller rescued are still alive...
