In a stunning story of hashgacha pratis, a German doctor who inherited a portrait of his mother discovered it had been painted on parchment cut from a Sefer Torah, looted during the Holocaust by his father, a Nazi official in Belarus. Some 80 years later, the holy parchment has been returned to the city of Bobruisk.
The doctor reached out through Chabad of Munich, and Rabbi Yochanan Gordon met him and recognized the kesav ashuris. Based on a psak of Hagaon HaRav Moshe Feinstein zt"l, the parchment will be displayed in the shul in Bobruisk beside a Sefer Torah saved from the Nazis ym"s

A YIDDISH AD about how Mike Lawlerโs votes on Medicaid and food stamps affect Jewish families.
The very community rejecting Cait may be the same community paying the price. Let that sink in.

No. We couldnโt find a Yiddish speaking man to represent HaTzibur HaChareidi in Yiddish.
And the Yiddish speaking audience wouldnโt tolerate a woman coming on the Podcast.
So, although she does speak Yiddish, we had her on in English.
And we have another English interview with a member of the mainstream Chareidi parties, which will be released to before the election IYH.

I'm curious about those saying this Israeli woman doesn't speak Yiddish well. Is it Americans complaining about Israeli Yiddish? or are they correct?
in Vienna, they similarly say that American Yiddish is done for/not Yiddish. so I'm curious
