Mayor Ed Koch Chose to be buried in Trinity Church’s Cemetery , was he wrong as a Jew to do this? I say no , why? because Jewish Cemeteries. and Jewish Funeral homes have become a business, strictly a business of non Jewish ownership. Its no longer a religious rite to be in a Jewish funeral parlor but a vehicle to put money in the coffers of Cemetery. and funeral parlor ownership , plain and simple .
When my grandfather died we wanted an open casket , the funeral director at a Jewish funeral parlor which I shall omit the name for this story read us the riot act on Jewish law , When it came to sign the contact the agreement or funeral contact he signs his name Nunzio ——. My mother seeing that laced into him.well that’s the way it is no longer a Jewish Ritual to be interred at a Jewish Cemetery or funeral homes of non Jewish ownership and this applies to them all believe it or not Just ask any Jew who just used one an buried their loved one . A Jewish funeral home and Jewish Cemetery should and always was a Jewish functionary Like Jewish Clergy… no more Koch was not wrong in what he did .end
2 days ago – The former mayor’s burial site is classic Edward I. Koch: he rejected a Jewish cemetery for Trinity Church Cemetery, an Episcopal site open to …
Estimates for the number of black Jews in the U.S. vary wildly, from 20,000 to more than 150,000, with some experts saying the population is too small to accurately measure.However MaNishtana Rison who has become a prominent voice for Jews of color thanks to his advocacy work and dating website estimates there are probably only 50 or 60 blacks among the roughly 500,000 Orthodox in Greater New York. “For the most part, We know each other,” Rison says. “It’s what we call Jewish geography—even if we’ve never met, we at least know someone in common.”
Wayne Lawrence became interested in photographing black Jews after he moved to Crown Heights, where memories still linger of the 1991 riots, and noticed a few black Orthodox living up the street. “It’s not that they identify as black Jews, but the fact that they identify as Orthodox,” he says. “What was surprising to me is that they’d want to be a part of something that didn’t necessarily want them there.”
The Men and Women he photographed included converts and some born into the faith, some of them Lubavitcher, others call themselves Hasidic and others who simply say Orthodox or “observant.” “You have to admire their courage,” he says. “They’re just trying to carve out their own space.
Antisemitism reared its ugly head at the United Nations general Assembly Yesterday in a vote where nearly the whole world voted in favor of a Palestinian State.They really don’t give a shit about the poor the Palestinian Arabs as they say they do .This is just a repackaged way in order to veil their deep seated Jewish hatred under the cloak ar and ohaters and take up the Palestinian rights. They do this by crapping in the face of world Jewry.They are continuibg to do whath Hitler didn’t succeed in in doing .Yes folks it’s as simple as that.
I can see and understand European nations being Anti Jewish with their history,but China Japan , Korea and south Asian & African nations that never had Jews in their population that’s sad that they should sub come to this hatred when never had Jewish contact , Shame on them
This got to be awake up call for all Jews of every branch from Ashkenazic to Sephardic to Chasidic To Karaite to reformed and secular to unite in the brotherhood of Jews and take a stand against this Hitleresque move before there is no Israel.Remember when no nation would take in a shipload of Jews fleeing Germany in 1938 even the U.S.A.? This can’t happen again and it can if Israel is Destroyed . Imagine only 3 countries stood shoulder to shoulder with the U.S And rejected Palestinian Statehood.That doesn’t say much for U.S influence and arm twisting . Jews Stand up for Israel and take pride in yourself./end
There are 22 Arab Countries in an area the size of the Continental United States.
Why not create another additional 2nd Jewish homeland somewhere such as the failed one that Stalin created in 1928?
There were always Two Germany’ There, is Germany (Deutschland) and Austria, Several Italian Nations,San Martino plus can include Switzerland &Vatican city
2 France’s France and Belgium..2Russia’s Russia and Belarus
So why don’t we focus on another Jewish Homeland and put that on the table as well as Gaza and the West bank. Lets face facts The Palestinian Arabs don’t want an Israel in the Middle Even it was was 1 inch wide..and they would fight with every fiber of thier strength to retake that 1 inch back.Time to demand an additional 2nd homeland for Jews in addition to present day Israel somewhere in the Middle East. end/
I was going to a potato Latka contest and was supposed to light the Menorah at Kings County Court Plaza this is about 7-8 years ago at a Lighting ceremony on the first Night Hanukkah, I was replaced by the some sort of Turkish official I wasn’t-insulted Because I said that a very good deed on Turkeys part, it said that Jews were not at odds with Muslims but had an on going drama with with Arab Neighbors. apparently the Turkish good deed dept is closed down as it knocks Israel for defending itself .Iran has a president who ‘s family converted from the Jewish faith Iran Must be knocked down to size now before anymore weapons get delivered to Hamas. Turkey as a NATO nation should be brought on the carpet an that’s an understatement. Egypt should be cut off of any us aid and the King of Jordan should not be thrown under the bus as Mubarak was.end/
There are over 400 tunnels going from Sinai to Gaza with all sorts of weapons of destruction from Iran and Russia such as the present missiles being rained downtown Israel. General El Sisi apparently put an end to Them On His Border
What we now see that what’s needed is a Bunker Busting bombs carpet bombing style on that area to break up all the tunnels, and its as simple as that end.Now there are tunnels on the Lebanese frontier..find them and do what Uncle Sam did in Viet Nam..pump gas into them and light them up.it..Israel will not do that.
.Why doesn’t Israel build a moat around the periphery of Gaza as to foil any terrorist attack that whould in have breached the border thru tunnel.This whould stop them cold. These Tunnels. Are Not On The Level Of The Sand Castles That We all Have Built at the Beach But Highly Sophisticated Work Of The Best Engineering Firms. What Israel now has to find out is what Engineering firms were Involved in their building..If They Were Done By Russian Outlets Then Putin Has To Be Told If It Was Any Where Within The E.U.Then Any Further Aid We Give Then E.U.Must Be Up For Review.
deep-penetrating bombs it had long sought. … The Israelis first requested the bunker busters in 2005, only to be rebuffed …
Where is the outcry from the Media & the World Free nations when Hamas shells civilian neighborhoods?*Answer virtually none.
We will say this that The Jewish State must not cave in to world opinion when it comes to their citizens safety survival.
We don’t have to tell them that but let all the anti Semite Jew haters know the Jewish Resolve. Better off to have a cold shoulder from the nations abroad then no country at all..
All roads leading to Sinai from Sudan or Libya should be restricted in any deal sort by Israeli. Weapons are making its way to Sinai into Gaza and fueling this already volatile situation. As Israelis run to bomb shelters, the main street media refuses to report on it.Jewish life has no value to them…
EACH AND Every DAY THEY THE PALESTINIAN LEADERSHIP ARE CONSTANTLY RILING UP THEIR POPULATION TO DO ALL SORTS OF DISTRUCTION, ,Mayhem AND TERROR IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THEIR CAUSE.
MORE ROCKETS FIRED INTP ISREALI CIVILIAN AREAS EMINATING FROM GAZA..UNSOEAKABLE HORRORS AND SEXUSL ABUSE BY HAMAS TO CAPTI
They can not Hold Israel over the Perverial barrel and Murder Young Children wirh their lopsided hostage demands
Israel is dealing with monsters deprived and perverted animals
IDF:Captorsmurdered children Ariel and Kfir Bibas ‘in cold blood’ with ‘their bare hands’
TIME IS TO SHUT THE WATER & THE ELECTRIC OFF IN GAZA AGAIN & LET THEM SCRAM FOR THE EGYPTIAN AND JORDANIAN BORDER
THE Palestinian LEADERSHIP MUST PUT THIS INCENDIARY RHETORIC TO A QUICK END AS IT IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO BOTH PEACE AND IS ONLY MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE FOR THEIR PEOPLE.
Israel SHOULD SHUT THE WATER OFF NOW..THE WORLD BODY DOES NOT CARE ONE IOTA ABOUT JEWS OR ISRAEL.THOSE AT THE U.N.AND THE.U.N. WILL YELL AND SCREAM FOR A WEEK THEN ITS OVER .
YOU CAN’T HAVE A COUNTRY That’s AN ARMED CAMP FOREVER ,AND YOU GOT TO NIP THESES ROCKET ATTACKS IN THE BUD ONCE AND FOR ALL , SHUT THE WATER OFF.

Everyone Now Knows that Rabbi Meir Kahane was right..
He advocated removal of all Arabs from Israel..nothing more than the Palestinian Arabs are advocating for their own future state which they demand be devoid of Jews. It’s s not to late to reconsider his ideas.
We like to refer to this plan as the “Gandi Solution” . The world body really doesn’t care about one iota of Israels plight or possible ill fate, they could care less.
As the knife attacks and terror continues the rest of the world casts a blind eye except to blame Israel (the victim) which is a low down dirty crying shame. There will be outcry at the U.N, everyone will yell for a few weeks then its done -over ended with .
Israel should take an extreme right wing approach to this matter.
There is not a single nation on Earth that would put up with this violence in their nation for one second why should a double standard be put in Israel to do so?
While the International Herold violently deplores any Jewish retaliation in the form of terrorism .. We remain 100% committed to repapriating any and all Arab trouble makers and insurgants To Any Of The 22 current Brother Arab Nations.
There has to be some solution to this problem and it’s only getting worse.. Israel do what you have to do in order to survive.. The hell with world opinion..No nation on earth would allow what is paramount to a fifth column to continue to wreak havoc in their nation.Most Arabs residing in Israel that are law abiding citizens and make no trouble..They will bare the brunt from what these terrorists sowed and that’s not fair to them…When we see Arab members of Knesset advocating violence.They are sealing all if their brethrens fate..
Bottom line respect your host nation or move on/end
