On Monday morning, YWN published an absolutely shocking video of three young children on one electric scooter – all without helmets – driving in the middle of a Monsey Road. They laughed at the Hatzoloh member who confronted them. In response to the video, Rabbi Yosef C. Golding, the Executive Director of Rockland Hatzoloh sent YWN the following: As the days grow longer and warmer, Hatzoloh of Rockland definitely sees an unusually high number of pedestrian injuries, as well as children on bikes and scooters being hit by cars. It’s high time for parents to teach safety…and to enforce it to the best of their ability! Parents need to train the children that there is a right and wrong way of crossing the street and riding a bike or scooter.

Senator Rand Paul launched a scathing attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), during his appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. Paul accused Fauci of covering up the origins of Covid-19, adding to his previous allegations of wrongdoing regarding gain-of-function research and questioning the virus’s origins in a lab in Wuhan, China.

Paul stated, “But this has largely been funded by Bill Gates, who he funds the WHO more than most countries do.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu visited the soldiers and Border Police officers wounded in the counterterrorism operation in Jenin on Monday at Rambam Hospital in Haifa. Netanyahu was briefed about the patients’ conditions by the head of the hospital and the director of the trauma department. Netanyahu also “visited” Dago, a K-9 dog from the Oketz (Sting) Unit that was also injured in the explosion. The dog was evacuated to the hospital along with his handler and veterinarians came to the hospital to treat him for internal bleeding and a fracture.

At the end of the visit, the Prime Minister said in a statement to the media: “We strike at terrorism with strength and determination.

A shocking new poll indicating a close race between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden in a potential 2024 election rematch left ABC’s Jonathan Karl nearly too stunned to speak. Karl made his surprise very clear during Sunday’s broadcast of “This Week” as he shared the findings from a Quinnipiac poll conducted after Trump’s indictment, showing Biden at 48% and Trump at 44%. Karl emphasized the significance of the results, stating, “That’s within the margin of error. That’s a statistical tie.” Seeking insights from the panelists, he posed the question, “What does that say about Biden if he’s barely beating” Trump? Donna Brazile, former chair of the DNC, responded by highlighting the deep divisions within the country reflected by the poll.

In a CBS interview on Sunday with Robert Costa, former Attorney General Bill Barr  intensified his clash with former President Donald Trump, providing a scathing assessment of his ex-boss. Barr’s comments come in response to a week of personal attacks hurled his way by Trump, and his unyielding proclamation that Trump’s future looks grim if even half of the 37-count indictment against him holds true. Describing the circumstances, Barr emphasized that Trump was not a victim of government overreach but rather the instigator of his own problems. He stated, “He provoked this whole problem himself. Yes, he’s been the victim of unfair witch hunts in the past. But that doesn’t obviate the fact that he’s also a fundamentally flawed person who engages in reckless conduct.

Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman, one of the architects of the government’s judicial reform plan, spoke on Sunday at a Book Week event in Tel Aviv, hours after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced that he is advancing the reform as early as this week. He arrived at the event surrounded by security guards while leftist protesters engaged in their customary chant of “bushah, bushah.” Later, the protesters became violent and clashed with the police, who dispersed them by force. Rothman stated after the event: “I was happy to come to the opening of Book Week and meet a large audience of readers who want to develop independent thinking and a wealth of ideas. It’s funny that those who shout ‘democracy’ feel threatened and try to prevent people from reading books.

A video of a secular woman harassing a Chareidi man on a bus in Hod HaSharon went viral on Monday. Srulik Hirsch, who happens to be an IDF reserve officer and works as a lawyer in the Tel Aviv Prosecutor’s Office, was riding on the bus in Hod HaSharon, where he lives, when a secular woman began harassing him: “Why didn’t you serve in the army? All the Chareidim are parasites.” Hirsch answered back, saying: “Why do you assume that I didn’t serve in the army?” Woman: Because that’s what you look like. Hirsch: What makes me look that way? Because I’m wearing a kippah and a white shirt? Woman: Yes. You need to go to the army, you and your brothers. Hirsch: Well it’s simply unacceptable that you go around judging people. I served in the army.

An absolutely shocking video taken by a Rockland Hatzolah paramedic was submitted to YWN, showcasing a terrifying disregard for safety. As you watch the video below, notice not one, not two, but THREE children dangerously hanging on to one scooter in the middle of a Monsey road. Even worse? Not ONE of them was wearing a helmet. But it gets worse. When confronted by the Hatzolah member – who identified himself – they laughed him off and proceeded to continue driving in middle of the road. The number of accidents with people riding scooters has skyrocketed. Hatzolah members in all neighborhoods have been responding to incidents involving scooters every day. Many of those incidents resulted in serious and critical head injuries.

The Rachmastrivka Rebbe visited the Posek HaDor HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shternbuch last week to consult with him on various issues. At the start of the visit, HaRav Shternbuch said to the Rebbe: “The whole world is familiar with your deeds.” The Rebbe responded with his typical humility, “May HaKadosh Baruch Hu help us to do good.” The Rebbe asked HaRav Shternbuch about his relationship with the past Belzer Rebbe, HaRav Aharon of Belz, z’tl, and requested to hear about the Rebbe’s minhagim.
