Tevila with a sheretz<br /><br />Several years ago when I was fighting the Eternal Jewish Family and problematic conversions - one of the issues that came up was Guma Aguiar - the billionaire nephew of the billionaire financier of EJF Tom Kaplan. The questions regarded his wife Jamie - that Guma was very upset to have criticized - since she was a convert and he didn't want her Jewishness questioned. Before he forced me to remove any mention of him or his family by threatening me with a lawsuit - I had a long telephone conversation with him. One of the things I asked him point blank was whether his wife kept Shabbos. I had been told by a person who claimed to be a Chabad rabbi that she had been given a quickie conversion - even though she refused to keep Shabbos - because Chabad needed the money. [I have no independent verification of the truth of this assertion about Chabad]. His reply was "Well she does the best she can." Now it seems that not only was she not observing Shabbos properly - but she continued to observe Christian holidays after her conversion - and in fact she still does. <br /><br />Sun-Sentinel The holiday season in the Aguiar home was always about celebrations, with the family observing both the Christian and Jewish rituals for this time of year.[...]<br /> <br />Despite her husband's absence, Jamie said she has continued the family's holiday routines.<br /><br />"We do both Christmas and Hannukah, just as I always have," she said. "We have a Christmas tree and I celebrate with the children and light the menorah, too. It's a really special tradition this time of year." [....]<br /><br />Before their lifestyle became grand, the couple met at Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale, when Guma was a born-again Christian. They later converted to Judaism.Leib Tropperhttp://daattorah.blogspot.com/2012/12/who-converted-jamie-aguiar-tevila-with.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-53012839689570961942013-01-06T22:25:45.925-05:002013-01-06T22:25:45.925-05:00http://www.adkanenough.com/uploads/9/5/6/7/9567096...http://www.adkanenough.com/uploads/9/5/6/7/9567096/3426400.jpg?1357524079<br /><br />Newly alleged molester in Crown HeightsAryeh Goodmanhttp://www.adkanenough.com/uploads/9/5/6/7/9567096/3426400.jpg?1357524079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-26728682737062177672013-01-06T19:34:50.517-05:002013-01-06T19:34:50.517-05:00http://www.adkanenough.com/shmuel-borger.html

The letter continued by assuring the Baltimore community that Stanley Levitt would be closely monitored when going in the hallways and or the restroom, that he was mandated to be accompanied by another adult.<br /><br />Recently, a Hillel rabbi from Baltimore came into possession of a Torah (Jewish bible) from the holocaust. He was looking for someone who was trained to repair the scroll. Rabbi Stanley Levitt is a trained sofer stam (scribe) and had the qualifications needed to do the repairs. According to standard policies an individual who handles a Torah has to do so within the guidelines of purity, which includes going to a mikvah (ritual bath), prior to doing the work.<br /><br />When Levitt applied to do the repairs on the holocaust Torah, he was interviewed three times prior to his application for the work was sent off the information to a Vaad in London (Jewish religious court). Immediately a member of the Vaad did a "Google search" of him, and learned of the allegations made against him along with the pending court case, which was found on The Awareness Center’s website. This was enough information for the Vaad to choose someone else to do the work.<br /><br />Even though the Vaad of Baltimore has been aware of the allegations made against Levitt for several years it took the son of the Hillel rabbi to have the letter sent out by Hauer to be sent out. <br /><br />Video:<br /><br />Rabbi Yaakov Hopfer - Child Molester EnablerBaltimore, the city that breedshttp://www.examiner.com/article/rabbi-warns-community-members-baltimore-about-alleged-sex-offender-rabbi-stanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-54754300624310097532013-01-06T18:17:06.140-05:002013-01-06T18:17:06.140-05:00http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/06/disruptio...http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/06/disruptions-smart-gun-technology-could-prevent-massacres-like-newtown/<br /><br />Gun owners and advocates are fond of saying, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”<br /><br />This might be a more useful aphorism: Smart-guns don’t kill the wrong people.<br /><br />Technology exists, or could exist, that would make guns safer. The idea of a safe gun might seem to be the ultimate oxymoron: guns are designed to kill. But something missing from the gun-control debate that has followed the killing of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., is the role of technology in preventing or at least limiting gun deaths.<br /><br />Biometrics and grip pattern detection can sense the registered owner of a gun and allow only that person to fire it. For example, the iGun, made by Mossberg Group, cannot be fired unless its owner is wearing a ring with a chip that activates the gun.<br /><br />But you would be hard pressed to find this technology on many weapons sold in stores. “The gun industry has no interest in making smart-guns. There is no incentive for them,” said Robert J. Spitzer, a professor of political science at SUNY Cortland and the author of four books on gun policy. “There is also no appetite by the government to press ahead with any kind of regulation requiring smart-guns.”<br /><br />Why can we open our front doors with our iPhones and have cars that drive themselves, but we can’t make a gun that doesn’t fire unless its registered owner is using it?<br /><br />“We can,” Dr. Spitzer said. “These safety options exist today. This is not Buck Rogers type of stuff.” But gun advocates are staunchly against these technologies, partly because so many guns are bought not in gun shops, but in private sales. “Many guns are bought and sold on the secondary market without background checks, and that kind of sale would be inhibited with fingerprinting-safety technologies in guns,” he said.<br /><br />I called several major gun makers and the National Rifle Association. No one thinks a smart-gun will stop a determined killer. But I thought Smith & Wesson and Remington, for instance, would want to discuss how technology might help reduce accidental shootings, which killed 600 people and injured more than 14,000 in the United States in 2010. The gunmakers did not respond, and neither did the N.R.A.<br /><br />A Wired magazine article from 2002 gives a glimpse of the N.R.A.’s thinking. “Mere mention of ‘smart-gun’ technology elicited sneers and snickers faster than a speeding bullet,” the magazine wrote. It quoted the N.R.A.’s executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, as saying, “Tragic victims couldn’t have been saved by trigger locks or magazine bans or ‘smart-gun’ technology, or some new government commission running our firearms companies.”<br /><br />After the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown in December, Mr. LaPierre created a new aphorism: “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” He said violent video games and movies were part of the problem, but he didn’t mention smart-guns as a solution.<br /><br />TriggerSmart, an Irish company, has patented a childproof smart-gun. One feature is a “safe zone” that can be installed in schools and acts as a force field, disabling any TriggerSmart gun that enters a designated area. Robert McNamara, the company’s founder, has been trying to persuade gun makers to adopt the technology. He isn’t having much luck. “One gun manufacturer told us if we put this technology in one particular gun and some kid gets shot with another gun, then they will have to put them in all guns,” he said.<br /><br />“We believe we could have helped prevent the Newtown massacre.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-53313835439575298102013-01-06T16:38:56.185-05:002013-01-06T16:38:56.185-05:00All these organizational machers didn't fight ...All these organizational machers didn't fight back against molesters and/or other corruption because they didn't want to jeopardize their 6 figure salaries.<br /><br />Ohel - David Mandel & Derek Saker<br /><br />Agudath Israel of America - Avi Shafran<br /><br />Lubicom - Menachem Lubinsky<br /><br />Torah Umesorah - Shea Fishman & Shlomo Gottesman<br /><br />Torah Temimah - Yaakov Applegrad & Shlomo Feivel Schustal<br /><br />Vaad Harabbonim of Queens - Chaim Schwartz<br /><br />OU - too many people to name<br /><br />Chofetz Chaim - Aryeh Ginzburg<br /><br />Satmar - Duvid Niederman<br /><br />Brooklyn District Attorney's Office - Charles Hynes<br /><br />New York City Council - Lew Fidler & David Greenfield (covering up for Agudah / Satmar / Catholic Church & their surrogate Vito Lopez)<br /><br />New York State Assembly - Shelly Silver<br /><br />And there is at least two 7 figure salaries:<br /><br />YU - Norman Lamm<br /><br />Lewin & Lewin - Nat LewinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-84153501034303328652013-01-06T16:07:26.107-05:002013-01-06T16:07:26.107-05:00I don't know if this is an answer to Rabbi Ros...I don't know if this is an answer to Rabbi Rosenberg's question.<br /><br />It does say that during a time of hester panim / tochacha that Jews will illogically submit to be slaughtered "k'tzon letivcha", literally like sheep (who don't fight back).<br /><br />This was true for the most part under the Nazis.<br /><br />Suffice it to say that molestation of children, Rachmana litzlan, is a holocaust of sorts considering how the victims are damaged for life.<br /><br />Of course this is no excuse for parents - or anyone else - to stand idly by when they know.Dam rayechanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-90417071863123309832013-01-06T15:52:05.634-05:002013-01-06T15:52:05.634-05:00UOJ should look into this.
