WHAT IS THE LESSON
END OF AN ERA: Toys R Us Closing Its Last Stores By Friday
Toys R Us is closing its last U.S. stores by Friday, the end of a chain known to generations of children and parents for its sprawling stores, brightly colored logo and Geoffrey the giraffe mascot.
But many of the children who happily sang the “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid” jingle grew into busy parents who found shopping online more convenient. The company, which also owned the Babies R Us chain, was hobbled by $5 billion in debt after a leveraged buyout that left it unable to invest and keep up.
As the last of the U.S. stores close, more than 30,000 workers will be looking for work. Toys R Us’ troubles have also shaken some big toy makers like Mattel and Hasbro.
Customers who were still devoted will be looking elsewhere to shop. Retailers like Walmart and Target are expanding their toy aisles to fill the hole, while Party City is opening 50 pop-up toy shops this fall.
Toys R Us filed for Chapter 11 reorganization last fall and pledged to stay open, but had poor sales during the critical holiday season as customers and vendors shied away. In January, it announced plans to close about 180 stores, but then in March it said it would liquidate the rest of the 700-plus stores.
Will the Toys R Us name and mascot disappear forever? An auction for the company’s name, baby shower registry and various trademarks is set for late July. The 16-foot tall statue of Geoffrey the Giraffe that greeted visitors at Toys R Us headquarters in Wayne, New Jersey will be moved to a children’s hospital in the state.
Many long-time employees were hoping to retire at a place they called home.
“I’m never going to have a job like Toys R Us,” said long-time employee Patty Van Fossan, 54, from Boardroom, Ohio, who was among a group of workers at protests in New York, fighting for severance that they believe they are owed. “It was the best job I had. I was surrounded by children.”
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE SEEN VERY BIG SHOPS AND COMPANIES THAT STARTED WITH NOTHING AND BECAME VERY BIG, NOT JUST RICH GO DOWN TO NOTHING , ALSO JEWISH ORTHODOX PEOPLE GO UP AND DOWN .
THIS IS VERY SAD, BUT EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS A LESSON FROM G-D.
THERE WAS A VERY RICH MAN , HE LEARNED IN MY GROUP, ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO HE WAS ON THE VERGE OF GOING BANKRUPT, ONE DAY I WAS TALKING WITH HIM , ABOUT HOW HE FEELS HE SAID TO ME , GABY I CAME TO THIS COUNTRY IN 1956 I ONLY HAD THE CLOTH ON MY BACK, G-D HELPED THEN, AND MY TEST NOW IS TO THANK G-D FOR THE YEARS HE GAVE ME.
I AM SURE THAT HIS BELIEVE IN G-D.HELPED HIM TO RECOVER.
IN THE LAST YEARS BEFORE THE MESSIAH COMES OUR TEST IN TO DAYS LIFE IS AS IS WRITTEN
" DO NOT RELY ON NOBLES, NOR ON A HUMAN BEING, FOR HE HOLDS NO SALVATION,"
AND THIS G-D IS SHOWING US WHEN BIG SHOPS GO BANKRUPT.

EL AL
NEW EL AL POLICY: Passengers Will Be Thrown Off Flights For Refusing To Sit In Assigned Seats
Just days after news reports of an El Al flight delayed for more than an hour after four Chareidim refused to take their assigned seats next to women, the airline has taken some bold action.
El Al Chairman Gonen Ussishkin announced on Monday, that any passengers refusing to sit next to other passengers will be immediately removed from the aircraft.
Eilam wrote on Twitter “at NICE we don’t do business with companies that discriminate against race, gender or religion.”El Al’s response came just after Barak Eilam, the CEO of NICE Systems (a major Israeli tech company) announced Monday that his company would be boycotting El Al.
“NICE will not fly with El Al until they change their practice and actions that are discriminating against women,” Eilam added.
Chareidi men are known to frequently roam the aisles on El Al flights before takeoff, looking to exchange seats. Usually it is to avoid seating beside women or passengers who may use the in-flight entertainment system, or to make it easier to put together a Minyan for Davening during the flight.
However, it appears this practice will no longer be tolerated by Israel’s national airline.

WATCH THE U.S. LEAVE THE U.N.
WATCH: US Leaves UN Human Rights Council Over ‘Chronic Bias Against Israel’
The United States announced Tuesday it was leaving the United Nations’ Human Rights Council, with Ambassador Nikki Haley calling it “a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias.”
It was the latest withdrawal by the Trump administration from an international institution.
“We take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights,” Haley said.Haley, Trump’s envoy to the U.N., said the U.S. had given the human rights body “opportunity after opportunity” to make changes. She lambasted the council for “its chronic bias against Israel”, accusing it of a “disproportionate focus and unending hostility toward Israel.”
“When a so-called Human Rights Council cannot bring itself to address the massive abuses in Venezuela and Iran, and it welcomes the Democratic Republic of Congo as a new member, the council ceases to be worthy of its name,” Haley said. “Such a council, in fact, damages the cause of human rights.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, appearing alongside Haley at the State Department, said there was no doubt that the council once had a “noble vision.”
But today we need to be honest,” Pompeo said. “The Human Rights Council is a poor defender of human rights.”
The announcement came just a day after the U.N. human rights chief, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, denounced the Trump administration for separating illegal immigrant children from their parents. But Haley cited longstanding U.S. complaints that the 47-member council is biased against Israel. She had been threatening the pull-out since last year unless the council made changes advocated by the U.S.
“Regrettably, it is now clear that our call for reform was not heeded,” Haley said.
Still, she suggested the decision need not be permanent, adding that if the council did adopt reforms, “we would be happy to rejoin it.” She said the withdrawal notwithstanding, the U.S. would continue to defend human rights at the United Nations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office called the U.S. decision “courageous,” calling it “an unequivocal statement that enough is enough.”

YOM TEFILLAH IN LONDON
More Than 7,000 Gather At Massive Yom Tefillah In Stamford Hill About Troubling Education Reforms [VIDEO & PHOTOS]
Approximately 7,000 Chareidi Jews gathered in Stamford Hill on Tuesday afternoon, to participate in a Yom Tefillah about the harsh threats against Chinuch in yeshivos. The massive event was held outside Bais Hamedrash Toras Eitz Chaim on Lordship Road.
Over the past three years Yeshios have come under increasing pressure from Ofsted inspectors, and rabbonim fear that proposed laws will regulate what is being taught in Yeshivas, forcing them to Chas Vesholom close.
A number of Rabbonim and leading community activists have previously questioned whether the Orthodox community has a future in the UK if education policy is not changed.
Three months ago, HaRav Shraga Feivel Zimmerman from Gateshead passed along a similar message, stating that the situation is serious and that the Jews may have to leave en masse.
Rabbi Aharon Klein, one of the heads of the Belzer community in London, recently warned that should the decisions regarding the education in Charedi schools in England go against the ethos taught by the community, then there would be no future for the Charedi community in England whatsoever.
The new rules set down by the Education Ministry, which helps fund the schools, is to teach about the Toeiva lifestyle among other subjects.
While speakers at today’s event voiced concerns about Ofsted, they also expressed hope for dialogue with the government.
According to a report by the Jewish Chronicle, Rabbi Dovid Frand, president of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, said, “The exemplary behaviour of these thousands of children throughout this event is tribute to the excellent education and high moral standards that our system delivers.”
He said the community thanked God “we are privileged to live in a tolerant country with a government that has repeated pledged to safeguard religion and religious practice.
“However, there are influential secular forces seeking to impinge on our rights and we have all gathered together in prayer in the fervent hope that we can continue to practice and teach our Torah-true values for generations to come.”

EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY
THE EDUCATION AUTHORITIES OF THIS COUNTRY ENGLAND THROUGH OFSTED HAVE ATTACKED THE
JEWISH ORTHODOX EDUCATION OF THE JEWISH
SCHOOL SYSTEM, THEY SAY WE ARE NOT BEING
DEMOCRATIC AS WE NOT TEACH ABOUT GAY AND LESBIAN MARRIAGE
( OUR CHILDREN DO NOT GROW UP DRUG ADDICTS ETC,ETC, )
THEY SAY A POINT WHICH IS TRUE, YOU DO NOT SHOW THEM THAT THEY CAN HAVE A PARTNER, A WOMAN CAN HAVE A WOMAN AND A MAN CAN HAVE A PARTNER A MAN, WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED FROM OUR TORAH,
THIS AND A FEW OTHER POINTS ARE NOT DEMOCRATIC
I SAY YOU ARE ALSO NOT DEMOCRATIC IN YOUR EDUCATION ,
YOU DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO HAVE GUNS AND KNIVES ALSO YOU DO NOT ALLOW PARENTS FULL AUTHORITY ON THERE CHILDREN IN HEALTH, ETC, ETC. ( CHILDREN AND ADULTS HAVE DIED )
YOU TEACH THEM SEX AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION AT SIX YEARS OLD AND TAKE AWAY ALL THE CONTROLS AND THEN WHEN THEY GET TO THIRTEEN AND FOURTEEN YOU WANT THE PARENTS TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
THE TRUTH IS YOU HAVE FAILED WITH YOUR EDUCATION AND DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT WE ARE SUCCESSFUL.
