Only properly trained individuals are qualified to check for infestation-don't try it.


Mishnah Berurah in Hilchos Morer brings the Shu"t Chasam Sofer (130+-) that one must have "anushim-mi'yu'chudim-mi'su'yomim" with very good eyesight to inspect the lettuce, otherwise one may not use lettuce for morer.

Rav Shmuel Wosner, shlita says the chasam sofer is referring to special individuals that are experienced & it's known that they can find all of the camouflaged insects.

Rabbi Avromi David, who is not same person as R' Hillel's rosh kollel son in Seattle, was working as a lawyer in Manhattan. He was running an illegal immigration mill and charging as much as $30,000 to provide green cards for aliens who don't qualify. When he sensed the FBI was closing in, he escaped to Canada 4 or 5 years ago where his alter zaydas were Rebbes there of Bais Strettin. He became the rov of a shul in Downtown Toronto. A lot of things about the story didn't add up so I decided to look into it. The shul is officially orthodox but does not seem to have any frum members. A Toronto Sun newspaper investigation revealed that David was living with a Mexican woman in a NJ apt who is probably not Jewish.

He was arrested by Toronto Police around Yamim Noyraim and just extradited back to NY last week. His lawyers are Moskowitz & Book. Avi Moskowitz is the modern orthodox guy defending Margulies on the molestation & conspiracy lawsuits, who had a huge messy mop of hair until UOJ making choyzek prompted him to get a haircut. Chaim Book as a camp counselor, allegedly helped Belsky cover up for Kolko molesting little kids at Camp Agudah.

The Justice Dept issued a press release naming another 13 accomplices arrested or indicted in the case of Avrohom David's illegal immigration mill. There are some Hispanics and Arabs as well as some more heimishe guys.

Part of the scam is that heimishe bakeries and caterers said they gave jobs to the aliens. So is the Chaim Walter who was arrested the same Chaim Walter who owns a bakery with heimishe hashgocho in Monticello? And is the Avromi Flam who was arrested in Lakewood, Avromi Flam the caterer? Flam is also a cousin of David from the Strettiner Flams.

Dovid Grynstzajn is a Lubavitcher whose name came up in a Senate investigation of Munkatcher Pell grant fraud. He was lav davka a willing accomplice as Munkatch was known to use peoples' names without their knowledge too.

There are a lot of people named Robert Salamon so it could be anyone.

There are also a couple of Sefardim one of whom took off as a fugitive.

I assume my nephew Gavriel is personally checking anything under KCL.

Is Flam one of the KCL caterers that Rabbi Wiesner gets chulent from?

"in a NJ apt who is probably not Jewish."

If your not sure that was not Jewish how are you allowed to comment about this in a public form. You sound like some people that we should not know. or maybe your UOJ. That would answer ALL questions.

Oh there's a new heimish scandal? C.S. will read every nekudah mit hislahavus and then give musser that it's lashon horah. (Especially if he likes the cheese danishes from Monticello)

Leib Pinter and the Frankel's shul ganovim will have to make room for one more. Gofman had a bunch of unindicted co-conspirators from Yankel Velvel Katz's kollel in Cleveland

http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2012/01/viola_gofman_sentenced_to_long.html

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The two lead players in one of the country's largest mortgage fraud schemes took different approaches at their sentencing hearings Thursday in U.S. District Court.

Beachwood businessman Uri Gofman, 39, admitted to his crimes, apologized for his actions and got 81/2 years in federal prison for conspiracy and wire fraud charges from U.S. District Judge Donald Nugent.

"I have lost everything I've worked for my entire life," Gofman told Nugent. "I've brought shame on myself, my family and my community."

Tony Viola, 46, whose Cleveland real estate company found buyers for Gofman's properties, continued to proclaim his innocence.
"This has been a very difficult experience, and maybe I'm making it worse, but at no time did I think we were doing anything wrong," Viola said.

His lack of remorse cost him. Nugent sent Viola immediately to prison for 121/2 years. Gofman was given time to report and will likely serve his sentence at a prison in New York that will allow him to practice his Orthodox Jewish faith more easily.

The sentences bring investigators and prosecutors a step closer to completing a massive mortgage fraud case that involved more than 450 houses and $44 million in loans. The scheme has been blamed for contributing to a foreclosure crisis that caused housing prices to plummet in Cleveland and its inner-ring suburbs, costing property owners untold millions in lost equity.

Gofman has pleaded guilty to similar charges in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. He is not expected to receive additional prison time in that case but has agreed to forfeit $600,000 in cash and 43 properties worth an estimated $4.1 million.

The Leo Teitelbaum arrested in the David green card sting is identified by FM blog as going by his Yiddishe name Lipa Teitelbaum.

Is there more than person who goes by both those names or is it the son in law of the alleged molester Chazan Potchie Lipschutz from Frankel's shul and Monsey? That Lipa Teitelbaum is in cherem from a beis din along with his shver due to a real estate scandal in Suffern. He is best known as the Satmar street bum from the Amnon's pizza scene on 13th Ave who is the kid brother of Aaron Teitelbaum from the orchestra. He is also the former owner of Deli 52 on 13th Ave. Hashgocho was Amram Roth. Pretty much anyone who shook Lipschutz's hand in the diamond district ended up with at least one gem stolen by him.

http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090217/NEWS/902170317

Teitelbaum was sent by David's law firm to bribe a public official to receive police badges from the Orange County Sheriff's Dept.

The US Dept of Homeland Security has been very nervous lately about illegally obtained police shields as they could be used by Arab terrorists.

Avromi David once had a law office in Lakewood at 216 River Ave. But he lived in Marlboro. Did he daven in a shul around Marlboro? It's not likely he would walk over an hour to daven by R' Chaim Veshnefsky. Maybe he went to Chabad of Western Monmouth if anywhere.

The Canadian Strettiner ainiklach named Langner that he is related to started becoming Conservative rabbis / cantors in the last generation.

http://visalawcanada.blogspot.com/2011/10/us-immigration-lawyer-awaiting.html

His first wife from whom he is divorced with a child was a Moroccan girl, family name Encaoua.

His second wife from Mexico is named "Salome Fernandez Palomo". It is possible that she is Jewish despite her Hispanic name as some old Sfardish mishpochos from Spain moved to Mexico hundreds of years ago, although most of those ended up intermarrying.

http://www.voanews.com/english/news/usa/NY-Lawyers-Immigration-Fraud-Scheme-Netted-Millions-of-Dollars-Prosecutors-Say-138367949.html

A federal judge held a preliminary hearing Monday in the criminal case against a former New York immigration lawyer who prosecutors say made millions of dollars leading a fraud scheme that won legal immigration status for tens of thousands of clients.

David, who is 47- years-old, faces up to 50 years in prison, if convicted. Eleven other defendants are on trial with him as co-conspirators. Thirteen others were charged earlier; most of them have pleaded guilty and already have been sentenced.

Reb Yudel. If the chofetz chayim wanted to posken like the Chasam Sofer why did he stick it into the shaarei tzion and not in the regular mishneh Berurah??

What's pshat with the section on R' Yankel Horowitz's website that gives information on all the yeshivos, girls schools and day schools?

http://www.rabbihorowitz.com/PYes/Schools.cfm

Some of the information is just plain wrong. There is a secular school that he lists as modern orthodox.

We have to have our yearly Tu Bishvat ritual of singing the zemer "Tu Bishvat higiya".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30AdbEJn-kk

We sing it befarhesya at all the modern orthodox Queens Vaad shuls and tzuzamen with Rabbeinu Chaim Schwartz bechadrei chadorim so that no one in the Metropolitan shul will find out.

The mechaber of this zemer is the alter secular Tzioni, Yisrael Duchman, who was a maggid shiur in the apikorsishe Herzliya Gymnasia in early 1900s Tel Aviv.

Calling all Queens Vaad critics "apikorsim" provides prefect cover for our secret Queens Vaad ritual.

Klein's and these companies have unwittingly saved some people from the michshol by adding dried kiwi to the platter this year. There is a miut of people who have severe allergy to kiwi that even the other items on the platter are dangerous from residue.

If the Queens Vaad's Napoleon aka C.S. is lashing out with nasty names again, someone must have said something true that he would rather keep a secret, veil tze shtimt nisht mit zein image of a yeshivishe maniac.

Its also true that a lot of heimishe yiddin (more heimish then the KG area) sing war marches from secular
anti semites. But that would not do anything for the 'surfers' ego. So he ignores that.

The difference is that an adam gadol has a koyich to take a goyishe niggun and be metayer it.

Who was mitayer the niggunim of old atheist Tzionim? The old Young Israel crowd who used to have mixed dancing at the annual dinners until Ner Yisroel made the organization a drop more frum?

There is also a problem with the Ivrit the way they say it which the gedolim say is assur for Ashkenazim. R' Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld made a point of fighting it mit a tekifus.

To the real chossid shoytah,

When gedolim are metaher they only use the niggun and not the words.

But your modern chevra at Queens Vaad shuls are singing the original verter of the chiloni author.
