THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
NYC Fur Ban Can Cause Anti-Shtreimel Sentiment
There is a fur ban on the table in New York City. If it passes, it will cause some serious anti-Shtreimel sentiment.
The fur ban was introduced back in March by City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. It does have a clause that contains a religious exemption, but that still does not bode well or reducing any of the growing anti-Semitism in New York City.
Considering the fact that hate crime in New York City is on the rise, people will be targeted on the streets, saying, ‘Why are you wearing this if there’s a fur ban?’Brooklyn councilman Chaim Deutsch, said it best:
The New York State Senate and Assembly actually introduced a bill banning the sale of fur one week before Johnson introduced his in March.
Shtreimels sold in the United States are made from real fur, from the tips of the tails of Canadian or Russian sable, beech marten, European pine marten or the American gray fox. In Israel, synthetic shtreimels are more common due to more difficult economic circumstances. They are generally custom-made.
The odds are, however, that the bans will not pass due to the strong fur lobby in New York City.

NEEDS EXPLAINING
INCREDIBLE STORY: Woman Reinterred From Tunisia To Eretz Yisroel 20 Years After Petira Fully Intact
It is a story that is quite remarkable. Inon Buchlis lived in Tunisia. His Rebbe relates the incredible account of events. Inon and his family made Aliyah to Israel. His mother was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Tunisia and it was decided to re-inter her in Eretz Yisroel some twenty years after her passing, as per the ruling in SHulchan Aruch that it is permitted to re-inter a body in Eretz Yisroel.
The woman, by all accounts, was a righteous woman – a tzadaikes who worked very hard to bring joy and happiness to Chassanim and Kallah’s.
Incredible, the body of the woman, the tachrichim and her body remained completely intact – 20 years after her Petira! There was no deterioration of the body whatsoever – not even one hair on her head.
The Talmud tells us of the righteous people of Beitar, whose bodies as well did not deteriorate. Inon’s Rebbe quotes the story to explain the remarkable merit of bringing joy and happiness to brides and grooms.
Tunisia (Tunis) is in North Africa, and there are only about 700 Jews left in the Jewish community. Internal traditions have it that Jews settled in Tunisia centuries before the destruction of the First Beis HaMikdash.
