The University of Arkansas on Monday reported 151 more confirmed cases of coronavirus at its campus in Fayetteville and a White House report said the state continued to have one of the highest rates of positive tests in the country.

The new infections reported at the university over the weekend brings its total number of active cases to 222 and comes days after the state’s top health official expressed concerns about outbreaks at Arkansas’ college campuses.

The total number of cases of the illness caused by the novel coronavirus among students at the University of Iowa increased by more than 50% since Friday, according to statistics released by the school on Monday.

As of Monday, a total of 922 students have self-reported positive test results for COVID-19 to the University of Iowa, an increase of 326 since Friday’s total of 596. That represents an increase of 54.7% during that time period. Three more university employees reported testing positive, bringing the total to 13.

17 students living in residence halls are in quarantine after potential exposure to the virus, while 78 students with the virus in residence halls are in self-isolation away from other students.

Statistics are updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and reflect only self-reported positive cases.

Paul, got a kashia for you:

Baltimore rabbi Yaakov Hopfer has released a new "Kol Kore" today (http://s8.gifyu.com/images/hopfer_sadwin.jpg) for the "fundraising" campaign of rabbi Ariel Sadwin ("Agudas Yisroel of Maryland") that, in his view, "needs to have the support of our entire community." At the same time he notices that rabbi Sadwin has "many contacts across government."

What's the peshat? Rabbi Sadwin (actually he does not have a semicha and is not a rabbi despite his assertions: Ner Israel simply put him in his current position) is a very corrupt and rich youngster backed by Neubergers. Hopfer and Sadwin have been defending all kinds of Orthodox abominations for years. Why do they need more money, they already have everything?

Is it "Ohev Kessef" in practice?

Estreia Restaurant, located on Route 9 South in Lakewood. This week, the restaurant caught the eye of Governor Phil Murphy.

The restaurant is an upscale Kosher steakhouse that provides upscale Manhattan dining here at the Jersey Shore. It is owned by partners Itche Rosenbaum and Shloimie Green.

“In Lakewood, the Estreia restaurant owner was cited for an executive order violation for having residents inside,” said New Jersey State Police Superintendent Patrick Callahan. Accounts of the party estimate an extremely large party with several hundred people.

One reporter at Monday’s press conference with Governor Phil Murphy claims Ocean County Sherrif’s Department officers waited until the party was finished before issuing citations.

The Trump administration says that it has recovered nearly 70% of the government relief payments that went to dead people.

The Government Accountability Office said Monday it had been told by the Treasury Department that nearly 70% of the $1.6 billion that had mistakenly gone to dead people had been recovered.

ת״ח said...

UOJ, could you please explain why Elijah cannot desecrate Sabbath? The books say otherwise.

מנחת חינוך:
‏[שנצטוינו לשמוע בקול כל נביא] חוץ אם אומר לעבוד עכו״ם אפי׳ לפי שעה ה״ז נביא שקר אבל כל המצות לחלל שבת וכדומה כאליהו בהר הכרמל וכיצחק ששמע לאברהם מחוייבים אנחנו לשמוע לו ולעשות.‏
פרדס יוסף:
ובקובץ חידושים חו״ז סי׳ י״ד נדפס מדודי הגרפ״א ז״ל הגאבד״ק לוטימורסק, שנסתפק אי הרי מותר לאליהו ואלישע לחלל שבת להחיות מת, דמצד וחי בהם י״ל רק כ״ז שהוא חי מותר לחלל שבת שלא ימות, אבל להחיות המת אפשר דאסור, אמנם מטעם כדי שישמור שבתות הרבה אפשר אף להחיות המת שרי.‏

Paul Mendlowitz said...

This was not a הוראת שעה

Paul Mendlowitz said...

ת”ש: אליו תשמעון – אפילו אומר לךעבור על אחת מכל מצות שבתורה, כגון אליהו בהר הכרמל, הכל לפי שעה שמע לו

Yevamos 90b

Paul Mendlowitz said...

That is if one is naive enough to believe stories that have no evidence or any authentication other than tall tales!

ת״ח said...

We know that most prohibitions (besides idolatry, etc.), which prophets permit, are in the category of הוראת שעה (your quote from Yevamos is akin to מנחת חינוך words above). So what? It is still possible to say that Elijah desecrates Sabbath. Maybe he can do that, UOJ, because he became an angel, and the Torah prohibitions only apply to people who are alive. In any case, Elijah seems to have a permission to act like that. The problem with Chassidic stories is somewhat different: They have been made up by folks who use ANYTHING to promote THEIR agenda. When rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson died, we thought that the Messiah cult was over. And almost every Lubavitcher in their twenties that I meet today (all born after MMS's death) craves to be connected with "the Rebbe." Hey, Jesus, your seat has been taken!

ת״ח said...

Following the Elijah story in the video, rabbi Chaim Block immediately said that Baal Shem Tov had not been a diligent student. See, he often skipped classes to run into the woods. There he once met an older cabalist and went to travel the world with him. Block smirked that nowadays that would be impossible because of pedophilia, but then the things were different. Sick!

Brisker said...

The metzius is sick but Block is not shuldiks for remarking it.

Who knows where he gets his mayselach from, if there is any guzma or worse mixed in.

Like R' Yoelish said, if you believe every Rebbishe mayseh you're a shoyteh. And even Chofetz Chaim maysos, R' Avrohom Yehoshua says some of them are not mistaver.

I met Block's recently niftar father a'h on one of his travels. An intellectual & refined Yid.

The Block story is troubling on so many different hashkafic levels, not the least expecting, I imagine, somewhat educated people in the room to buy into this nonsense. No less a figure than Eliyahu Hanavi, stopped what he was doing to come to some elderly Ukranian Jew in the late 1600s, to go through the whole shpiel so the Baal Shem Tov could be born to create another version of Judaism.

It is insulting, wrong, fakerei, and the reason the Moshiach myth of the Rebbe is able to be sold globally.

This comment is disgusting and vile. Ariel Sadwin is one of the finest people on the planet. “Rich”? He grew up average middle class - very average - and still is. I’ve know him since he was a kid. It’s simply crazy that any imbecile can comment on here.

Brisker said...

I was only defending Block on the pedophilia remark.

There are even worse stories than his Tishbi mayseh in some seforim from frierdik Rebbes. One about Zimri is mamash kefira. Block may be smart enough to know that even a Rebbe could have said over toxic non-Torah but is perhaps to timid to challenge it. But then why promote it? He has a shvogger who is old school Lubavitch, a major talmid chochom. I wonder if he would make this same mistake.

Baltimore the City that Breeds said...

Hahahaha!!!! You think that was Sheftel coming to Sad Sack Sadwin's defense?

You'd think these NIRC rebbeyim have enough on their plates already like being on the look out for kamikaze drivers before shacharis who are peeved about Yeshiva Lane molesters and/or other injustices.

YID said...

Paul, if Eliyahu Hanavi comes to every Jewish family for Passover Seders and visits every boy at his circumcision, why can't he visit an elderly Ukrainian Jew after that Yid drinks little schnapps? Schnapps and marijuana help one see angels and Hashem.

Rabbi Chaim Block has been writing the pages of the fake Chassidic history in real time: Although Baal Shem Tov was born in a small Podolian town (called Okop) to poor parents, Block makes them rich. A small but important detail because being well-off is fitting for a modern rabbi and his family.

Still, you probably also realize that Block's story is a clumsy Ukrainian paraphrase of the legend of Rashi, whose future father cast a precious gem into the sea rather than surrender it to Christians, and a heavenly voice promised him another "gem" instead.

I have noticed that the version of Judaism many Lubavitch and Bratslav chassidim practice today is much different from the Lithuanian Judaism with which I grew up. Both are essentially cults. Menachem Schneerson did not plan to be a leader. In his youth in Paris, at times he did not even wear head coverings, trimmed his beard and lived outside the Jewish community. Later in NYC, his editors knew that his scholarship and Hebrew writing were poor and had to be proofread. And his insane idea of blessing someone with Almighty Dollar was unheard of too. Now he became Jesus. Nachman of Bratslav did not even live till forty (some view it as a mystical curse), was considered unstable by many contemporaries and during his lifetime only few people joined his movement. Now his strange promise to those who visit his grave brings countless Jews to Uman.

I know many people in Lubavitch who secretly pray to their dead Rebbe. I know people who converted to Judaism believing in Messiah Schneerson (which makes their conversions questionable). I know many men and women (single or married) who regularly have extramarital sex in both Lubavitch and Bratslav communities, then go to mikve (often virtually) and believe they did nothing wrong because they have that "connection" to their leaders that forgives their every sin. Then these shiksa brothels in Uman for those visiting the holy grave. So many chassidim talk about "spirituality" but all they really want and think of is money.

These people are not chassidim. "Chassidim" means "righteous." They are not, of course. Like the rabbis of our time cannot be compared to the ones of the Talmud. Chassidim have twisted our entire religion. Judaism today is like Catholicism with rebbes/priests one must obey + sin forgiveness through some idiotic rituals. It's a shame that the daughter of our President went to Schneerson's grave to ask for her father's election victory and that Lubavitch sneaked into the White House. It's a desecration of Hashem that Jews of Ukraine are hated by local gentiles because herds of Bratslav chassidim have made Uman into a potty.

Truly, "Schver Tzu Zain A Yid."

Monsey said...

A menuvol in Monsey was calling Rabbi Breslauer to make "confession" about a whole laundry list of sexual crimes he was oyver in. For anyone unfamiliar, Breslauer, while asleep at the wheel, was Moish Finkel's rubber stamp to feed treif to the gantz Monsey & beyond for over a decade. Yeshiva of Spring Valley covered up for both of them, attacked & tried to destroy anyone asking hard hitting questions that the "kashrus" not adding up. Finkel was YSV President & Breslauer a rebbi. Other YSV rebbeyim were Breslauer's "mashgichim" (sic).

When a major rosh yeshiva found out about the "confession" phone calls, he yelled at Breslauer that rabbonim are not supposed to be men of the Cross. And he yelled at the menuvol that he'd better do teshuva instead of running around asking for Catholic rites.

Yeshivas Philly Explained said...

I don't know for sure where he learned but for many years Philly yeshiva's high school had a significant number of in towner Modern Orthodox boys. The place is not comprised solely of the watered down Hungarians from Boro Park-Flatbush who need cult personalities in their lives.

I mention this because believe it or not, there is another Ira Einhorn menuvol who grew up Modern Orthodox in Philly. He murdered a woman & hid her for ages in his bedroom closet - in a trunk that he specially outfitted to do composting on her!

When police found her & it got on the news, his father Joe Einhorn dropped dead from a heart attack when hearing it on the radio but his mother Bea (Nissenson) Einhorn was in denial he was guilty of anything until she died in 2006 at age 95. She was also oblivious to his boasts of being with 2000 women. Though it's only a matter of time until the MeToo campaign wakes up to him & starts pursuing his yerusha.

His alter Kiever zayde Gilbert Einhorn moved to Philly & opened a fruit stand

https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/168751499/

Gilbert was arrested in 1912 for violating the Federal Pure Food Act which was enacted partially in response to the expose on hazards from food fraud & poisoning by Upton Sinclair in his book "The Jungle" which has grada been cited several times against Rubashkin's unsanitary practices - what led the OU to falsely proclaim in their staged press conference that the place was spotless.

http://www.gilligansisle.com/mp3/theme1.mp3

The lead up to the press conference was hilariously mocked by newspaper editor Meyer Fertig in a front page headline as "the 3 hour tour, the 3 hour tour" (think the niggun of Gilligan's Island).

Time Magazine reported at the time that the 1st wife of billionaire Charles Bronfman was an Einhorn groupie & gave him $40,000 before he absconded as a fugitive. Bronfman divorced her after that.

Einhorn had a circle of menuvoldik yedidim like pedophile Allen Ginsberg, koifer Isaac Asimov, Uri Geller and anarchist meshugoyim Abbie Hoffman & Jerry Rubin.

So maybe if Einhorn didn't idolize R' Elya & Samuel Kaminetzky, he learned the tricks of the trade for himself! He was also leader of the Hippies on the first Earth Day which had similarities to Woodstock.

http://murderpedia.org/male.E/e/einhorn-ira-photos.htm

His parents shown here with him lived in Philly & went to the bungalow in Jersey.

After 22 years on the run he was arrested in France by French Federal Gendarmes & extradited.

Einhorn was recently niftar in prison from coronavirus.

Unfortunately, it's both women and men, FFBs anf BTs, my friend. They do not even see that as hefkeirus. Listen, I have a guy who fixes smartphones on Eastern Parkway. They have a continuous flow of "meyuchossim," and he sees everyone having porn on their gadgets. Why would a "nice" Jewish girl or boy watch porn, you may ask? Why crying parents tell me that their daughters (I am not even talking about sons), whom they tried to bring up with Yiras Shomayim, ask for "rich" and "attractive" individuals on their shidduch profiles?

I think that's because we've lost this generation. A few days ago "The Telegraph" published a new expert study that "Generation Z" feels some punctuation marks to be "intimidating" (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/08/23/generation-z-find-full-stops-intimidating-experts-say/). Grammar and punctuation rules have been perfected over centuries by the finest minds. Now young idiots with no mesorah (I am, of course, not referring to the fake Artscroll "tradition") brazenly endeavor to change that, moreover, they actively impose their wrong opinions on others. When I was growing up, LGBTQ movement was scorned and considered disgusting by all. Now perverts are the new normal, and "straight" must shut up.

It's easy and natural for a human being to animalize oneself, it's much harder to live a life of Heavenly purity.
