The Sadigura Rebbe, Rav Yisroel Moshe Friedman of Yerushalayim, was physically attacked in Lakewood, NJ, last night, Matzav.com has learned.
The attack was not hate-driven, according to sources, but was carried out by a mentally unhinged individual, who jumped at the rebbe at the home of the rebbe’s daughter and son-in-law.
Boruch Hashem, the rebbe emerged unharmed.
While the rebbe resides in Yerushalayim, he has been staying for the last while in Lakewood, as he has been battling serious illness.

Families battling illness must juggle so much more than the average family, and for them, the challenging Pesach preparations are especially difficult. Misameach strives to do whatever it can to ease the burden on these families and inject an extra burst of simcha into the Yom Tov season.
Misameach held a pre-Pesach event for children the day of bedikas chometz at Pump It Up of Lakewood. As the hectic race to Yom Tov reached its crescendo, parents desperately needing a reprieve were able to drop off their children for an afternoon of fun and take advantage of those precious few hours to continue their Pesach preparations.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rabbi Mordechai Neustadt zt”l.
Rabbi Neustadt was most well known for his efforts to save Russian Jewry from spiritual annihilation.

The View’s co-hosts reacted to the tragic San Diego shooting on pesach that killed one person and wounded three others. Six minutes into the clip below, co-host Joy Behar says that President Donald Trump is “the culprit” and is now facing calls from the public to be fired.

Brooklyn’s Secret Treasure Hidden No More
By Tzvi Y. Ezrachi
A high-caliber bochur concludes mesivta and then enters bais medrash, either in the same yeshiva or another. After a few years of high-level bais medrash learning, his next option is to go to learn in one of the well-known yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel.
In fact, that is his only option, right?
Wrong.
In fact, there is an outstanding yeshiva in Brooklyn whose reputation has been growing as a first-rate option for metzuyanim who have completed bais medrash but would like to continue their aliyah in Torah on American shores.
