Non-Religious Woman Surprised and Angered at Jerusalem Post Office Request to Dress Modestly
Elisheva Moldovsky, a student at the Betzalel Academy and a Jerusalem resident, was surprised when she arrived at the post office on Nachum Street in the Geula area of the capital, seeing a sign taped to the door asking visitors to dress modestly.
According to the Yediot Achronot report, her packages arrive at that branch. She requested to have them sent elsewhere, but the branch refused to accommodate her. Since she lives on Yaffo Street, she would prefer another branch but was told her address falls under the jurisdiction of this distribution office. Now, she sees the sign regarding modest clothing, calling it “a chutzpa”. She asked what would occur if such a sign was placed at the office of the Interior Minister of the Tax Authority.
It is pointed out this is not an official branch of the Israel Postal Authority, but a store that is used to service the area.
Elisheva is quoted explaining she never had a problem in the past, and the employees in the branch are quite accommodating and tolerant, and never commented on her attire. She adds that she wrote her own sign in response, that whomever is bothered by her attire should cover their eyes.
The postal authority responded: This is an independent initiative by a grocer who is located in the heart of a chareidi neighborhood, and hands out packages to hundreds of residents, at a very high level of service. The store owner, who placed the sign on his own, removed it at our request. It should be emphasized that the affiliation is geographical and therefore, the packages arrive near the customer’s home. If the customer is interested in picking up her packages at anotheocation, she must first request the new address, her place of work for example

SHOCKING BUT NOT SURPRISED
SHOCKING: Israeli Teen Admits To Desecrating WWII Death Camp In Poland
A police spokesman in eastern Poland says an Israeli teen has admitted to removing his pants at the former Nazi German death camp of Majdanek, was sent home, and is facing a fine.
Andrzej Fijolek said Monday the 17-year-old, whose identity has not been released, was caught on CCTV cameras as he let down his pants by one of the wooden barracks at the Majdanek museum while on a school trip there Friday.
Museum wardens notified the police and the teen confessed to the act during questioning. A court is expected to fine him for desecrating a memorial site.
From late 1941 until mid-1944, Germany’s Nazi regime killed some 80,000 of Majdanek’s 150,000 inmates, who were mostly Jews, but also included Poles, Belarusians, Ukrainians and Russians.

Antwerp Fire Department to Refill Dried Up Pool For Tashlich
According to reports in the Belgian-Jewish newspaper “L’Ma’an Teida” the local authorities in Antwerp have agreed to refill a dried up pool in a central park in the city, in order that local Jews will be able to fulfill the custom of Tashlich on Rosh Hashanah in a month’s time.
The local firefighting unit of the area in Antwerp, has been tasked to fill the pool with thousands of gallons of water in the Stadspark garden, in order that is should be ready before the Jewish new year.
Local police want to prevent a possibility where thousands of Charedi Jews march through the city on Rosh Hashanah to head to the nearby river Schheldt, located approximately one mile from the city. The police are worried that such a march would draw anti-Semitic attacks and have therefore encouraged the city to refill the pool, rather than force the Charedim to make the trek.The pool dried up due to a major heat wave this past year that has affected most of western Europe. Approximately 18,000 Jews live in Antwerp and use the pool as a place of fresh water that contains fish, in order to fulfill the custom of Tashlich. Due to the heat wave, it is unclear how many fish survived in the pool. The Jewish community has also obtained the permission of the city to bring in fish to the pool in order to replenish the wildlife and allow for the custom to continue.

TOLERATING OTHERS
THE TORAH SAYS
"THE MAN MOSHE WAS VERY HUMBLE "
RASHI EXPLAINS HE FELT VERY LOW ( HE WAS A GREAT RABBI AND TALKED WITH G-D ) WHEN HE SAW HOW GREAT G-D WAS, HE FELT LOW AND HUMBLE AND WAS ABLE TO TOLERATE OTHERS.
THE CHIDUSHEI HARIM TAUGHT THAT FOR A HUMAN BEING HUMBLE IS A VERY HIGH LEVEL AND THIS ONLY TAKES PLACE WHEN YOU REALISE THE GREATNESS OF G-D.
BEING HUMBLE IS A HIGH LEVEL, BUT TOLERATING THE LOWLINESS OF OTHERS IS EVEN A HIGHER LEVEL ( THAT NOT ALL PEOPLE CAN GET TO THE HIGH STANDARD ) OF UNDERSTANDING G-D.
THIS MEANS TO LOVE AND RESPECT YOUR FELLOW JEW, EVEN THOSE WHO ARE NOT ACTING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO YOUR OPINION AND PERCEPTION.
THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE FROM ALL THOSE READING MY BLOGS.

THIS IS THE WAY
Chevron Yeshiva Forces ‘First Year’ Bochurim To Sign Contract Ensuring Good Behavior – Will Not Attend Hafganos
Following a recent incident involving Bochurim of the Chevron Yeshiva, students in the newest year, Va’ad Aleph, have been ordered to personally report to the Rosh Yeshiva’s house and sign a contract committing to good behavior, as a prerequisite for continuing their studies in the Yeshiva. The students have been instructed to report to the Rosh Yeshiva before the end of Bein Hazmanim.
Bechadrei Charedim reported that all of the first year students received a letter stamped with the seal of Maran Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky, that said: “All students from the first year, who wish to continue on to the second year of studies, must undergo another complete entrance process to continue in the Yeshiva.”
A significant portion of the students received phone calls from an unlisted number that played a message instructing them to appear before the Rosh Yeshiva at his home at specific times prior to the end of the vacation period.
So far, eight of the students, of the 80 who have already appeared before the Rosh Yeshiva, were not accepted for the second year.
Among the items listed in the contract that the students were forced to sign were the conditions that the students daven three times a day with the Yeshiva Minyan, that they attend all Sedarim and Shiurim, and that they will not participate in any protests – frequently organized by the Peleg Yerushalmi.

THIS IS NOT A FRUM WAY
Peleg Vandalism: Protesters Bust into Hall to Disrupt Hamodia Correspondent’s Lecture [VIDEO]
Dozens of Peleg protesters on Monday evening entered the Payis Center in the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood of Bnei Brak after their protest in the city against the arrest and incarceration of talmid Nissan Raada by military police. Their mission was to disrupt a lecture being given by noted journalist Yisrael Katzover, the political/security correspondent for the Hamodia newspaper.
The talmidei yeshivos who listened attentively to the lecture tried to expel the intruders, and a real confrontation developed between the sides as they threw chairs and objects against each other. It was only after the intervention of the police and Yassam special forces that were summoned to the area, was Katzover returned to the hall in the building and permitted to continue his lecture. Those present described the event as a “despicable Chilul Hashem!”
According to the participants, “this is brazenness, to try to interfere with experiential activity for the residents of Bnei Brak, and children from talmidei torah and yeshivos who wished to hear from a military expert about iDF operations in the North and South, but the Peleg hoodlums had other plans.”
It is noted that the edition of HaPeles of the following morning, the Peleg-affiliated newspaper, it was written that the demonstrators protested against “the introduction of improper content through summer events in Bnei Brak.”
According to the newspaper, “this is a shameful attempt to cooperate with government officials who set themselves a goal to change the way of life of the chareidi tzibur and assimilate it in secular life and in bad culture.”

STUPID JEWS KEEP GOING TO SWITZERLAND
Gazan Refugee Attacks Jewish Man on Train in Switzerland, Not Charged With Hate Crime
A Palestinian refugee from the Gaza Strip attacked a Jewish man on a train in Switzerland back in February. The incident was only recently revealed to the public by the Swiss authorities in the last few days.
The Palestinian was not charged with a hate crime but was arrested and sentenced to four months imprisonment for assault. The incident took place inside a train near the city of Lausanne.
The Palestinian man, whose name is Muhammad, threw a shirt at the Jewish man, accosted him, stole his water bottle, his kippah and the book that he was reading and threw them all into the trash. He then stole the Jewish man’s watch, broke his glasses, and continued to punch the Jewish man all over his body.
According to reports in German and Swiss newspapers, Muhammed screamed at the Jewish man, identofied only as Israel: “I want to slit your throat”.
Yonatan Gurfinkle, the Secretary-General of CICAD, an organization that monitors anti-Semitism in Switzerland attacked the decision to not classify the incident as a hate crime in the charges brought against Muhammed. “The details of this case clearly point to the fact that Muhammed attacked the Jewish man because he was wearing a kippah and was identifiable as a Jew. His arrest and subsequent charges do not show that this was a hate crime, which is a very serious offense.”
