R’ Yosef Herman was a revolutionary. He saw. He acted. He did what needed to be done.
Torah as a way of life was a value R’ Herman absorbed from his youth. When R’ Herman was just 12 years old, his parents sent him away from home to learn in Yeshiva Torah Vadaas. He learned, absorbed, and grew. In Yeshiva, R’ Herman developed a deep appreciation for Torah and a tremendous degree of Emunas Chachomim. These values continued to define him throughout his whole life.

AMUD ALEF:

The words were barely out of U.S. President Donald Trump’s mouth—and the much-anticipated peace plan to resolve the century-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict for good was barely uploaded to the White House’s website—when the doomsayers and naysayers launched their attacks, mocking nearly every aspect of the proposal and condemning it to failure. But the three Muslim ambassadors in the East Room—from the nations of Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates—stood quietly, their silence understood as tacit support. Indeed, the cause of Palestinian statehood is no longer the unifying rallying cry across the Arab world that it once was.

The Anti-Defamation League just launched an online searchable database that helps track anti-Semitic incidents against Jews that have taken place throughout the United States.
The “ADL Tracker” will be regularly updated to provide the most recent information available on cases of anti-Semitic vandalism, harassment and assaults reported to or detected by the ADL. Incidents are transferred to ADL’s H.E.A.T. Map, which “provides comprehensive statistics on domestic instances of anti-Semitism, extremism and terrorism, and allows users to drill down on the data by geographic location,” according to the ADL.

Rav Dovid Biderman, the first Lelover Rebbe (1746-1814), son of Rav Shlomo Biderman. A close follower of the Chozeh of Lublin, he was known for his extraordinary compassion for, and inability to see faults in, his fellow Jews. His main disciple was Rav Yitzchak of Vorki, whose son, Yaakov Dovid, was the first Amshinov Rebbe. Two printed collections of stories about Rav Dovid are Migdal Dovid and Kodesh Halulim.

WATCH:

It’s a heart-stopping moment.
A toddler, barely 2 years of age, has gone missing.
The family is frantic, and for good reason.  A two year old child roaming the city streets is a recipe for disaster.
“After the waves of panic made way for hysteria, I picked up the phone and called Shomrim.  That was the smartest phone call I’ve ever made.  Within minutes, my house was flooded with volunteers and within the hour, my baby was back home safe and sound.  I shudder to think of what could have been. “
Without fanfare or commotion, Shomrim saved a child’s life and a mother’s sanity.
The calls don’t stop.
“Someone is in my basement.  He’s carrying a knife.”
“My vehicle was stolen.”

A Coast Guard officer who kept 15 guns and other weapons in his Maryland home and allegedly planned to kill people in an attack in support of white nationalism was sentenced Friday to 13 years in federal prison in a case that illustrated the difficulty of prosecuting accused, would-be domestic terrorists who are arrested before they carry out violent crimes.
Former lieutenant Christopher Hasson, 50, was indicted last year and pleaded guilty to firearms and drug charges. Authorities said he intended to embark on a murderous rampage targeting liberal politicians on Capitol Hill and prominent on-air hosts of cable news programs. Defense lawyers, who wanted Hasson released on probation, argued that he never would have committed the attacks.
