Agudas Yisroel Makes Fundraiser for Same Sex "Marriage" Orchestrator

NYGov – Cuomo Meets Agudath Israel Board Ahead Of Jewish Fundraiser in Flatbush

September 15, 2014  8:50 PM by Jacob Kornbluh

Governor Andrew Cuomo was back in Brooklyn on Monday trying to secure a super majority in his reelection bid, by courting the "Orthodox" Jewish community’s support at the early stages of the general election.

The governor attended a fundraiser Monday evening at the home of Sol Werdiger, chairman of Agudath Israel of America’s board of trustees, in Flatbush.

Prior to the fundraiser, Cuomo met with members of Agudath Israel’s board and community leaders, two sources told JP. During the meeting, the governor pledged to do a greater effort to pass the Education Tax Investment Credit in next year’s session, one source said. “He was very positive and promising.”


The Education Tax credit bill introduced the NY Senate during the 2013 legislative session. But it was not included in this year’s budget deal and did not reach the floor at the end of the legislative session, despite fierce lobbying on the issue by Jewish and Catholic advocacy groups.

“The Cuomo Administration has a strong legislative record in support of the Jewish slight correction for accuracy cross out Jewish and replace it with LGBT-community, including policies supported by "Orthodox" Jewish organizations and leaders like sane sex "marriage", casinos near our summer camps etc.,” Elbert Garcia, a spokesperson for Gov. Cuomo, told JP at the time. “Although some proposals we support did not pass the Legislature this session (such as the Education Investment Tax Credit the bathroom bill otherwise know as Genda, a bill to ban therapy that would help overcome homosexual desires a practice that was endorsed by approximately 200 rabbis), we remain committed to these policies and to working with leaders and community members to move these issues forward.”

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Rob Astorino, during his acceptance speech at the GOP convention in May, promised to pass the Education investment Tax Credit if elected as governor. “To those who have been waiting for an Education Investment Tax Credit in this state… I want you to know that when I make a promise to you, I’ll keep it. We will have an Education Investment Tax Credit in 2015,” he proclaimed.

David Greenfield YMS "Thinks" Voting For Cuomo Is A "Mitzva"

David Greenfield YMS "Thinks" Voting For Cuomo Is A "Mitzva"

Brooklyn Council Member David Greenfield on last Tuesday encouraged Jewish voters in the southern part of Brooklyn to come out and vote on primary day for Governor Andrew Cuomo and his running mate, Kathy Hochul, or face political consequences never mind the Torah.

Addressing some 500 members of the Orthodox Jewish community, gathered at the annual dinner of ‘Rav Chesed’ organization in Borough Park, Greenfield stressed that the reason the community sometimes gets under-funded or feels ignored is the result of a low turnout on Election Day and the fact that even those who vote trade their vote away for nothing, so every single politician knows the Jewish community stands for nothing and only votes for the front-runner so they come to us only after they secure a majority of goyim.

“In politics, if you want to get things done and if you want people to respect you, they need to be afraid of you. And being afraid of you doesn’t mean we have to carry big sticks or be mean, afraid comes down to basic respect. And the only thing that matters, when it comes to politics, is: do people come out and show up to vote on primary day and election day,” said Greenfield more accurately politicians have to be afraid that you will vote against them, the problem is the Jewish community almost never votes against politicians who hurt us, voting for people who hurt us only means we are telling the whole world we don't care what you will do because we are stupid and will vote for you anyways.

Greenfield went on to decry the lack of accomplishments due to a lazy voting effort in the community. “If you look at the conversation that’s happening today, politically in New York, it is not about our community,” he said. “We are the fastest growing community in NYC, with a half million Orthodox Jews in New York” 

Ahead of next week’s primary day, Greenfield noted that there’s only one choice for the community – the Cuomo/Hochul same sex "marriage" ticket.

‘This election is very important,” he explained, “because the governor has been a good governor to the gay community and has worked with us Jewish kappos on a lot of issues. He’s getting a challenge, not from the left, but from the extreme left – the ultra-left…  They are looking to see who’s going to come out and support us as a reward for passing same sex "marriage"? Will our community come out and support us as a reward for passing same sex "marriage"?”  unfortunately the answer was yes the "Orthodox Jewish community supports same sex "marriage" completely

“I ask you, this Elul, do one extra Mitzvah: go out and vote next week in the primary. And when you’re out there, make sure to look on the ballot and vote for Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul – people who we can work with to pass every single reshus like genda which would force jewish stores to hire men in dresses,” he concluded.

As reported earlier today, the two competing Satmar YMS factions came together on Wednesday in a united effort to reelect Governor Andrew Cuomo and help his running mate Kathy Hochul overcome her competitive primary challenge from the left.

A similar effort is being done at the grassroots level in Borough Park, in which the Fake Orthodox Jewish  community’s political leaders, along with the various institutions will aggressively reach out to voters to come out on primary day next Tuesday.

Homosexuality No Longer Going To Blocked By Internet Filter Company

Symantec halts search filter's block of gay websites

SAN JOSE -- A popular online "safe"-search filter is ending its practice of blocking links to mainstream gay and lesbian advocacy groups for users hoping to avoid obscene sites.

For several years, top Web-filtering services have been resolving a security over-reach that conflated gay rights websites with child porn, blocking both from web surfers using safe-search software. Now Symantec, one of a handful of key players in the content-filtering market, is joining the push.

Online security firm Symantec told The Associated Press that while customers can still set their search to block offensive websites, there will no longer be an option to block websites just because they relate to sexual orientation.

"Making this change was not only the "right" thing to do, it was a good business decision," said Fran Rosch, executive vice president, Norton Business Unit, Symantec in a Tuesday announcement. "Having a category in place that could be used to filter out all LGBT-oriented sites was inconsistent with Symantec's "values" and the mission of our software."

Symantec's shift, which came after customers at an Au Bon Pain cafe and bakery blogged in January that the free Wi-Fi was blocking access to advocacy groups, is the latest in a series of Internet-filter revamps prompted after frustrated Web searchers found human rights campaigns and gay advocacy groups were being grouped together with child porn sites by some Web-content monitors, which then prevented users from clicking on them.

Internet filters are mandatory in most public schools and libraries, and they are frequently used as well by anyone offering Wi-Fi, from airports to cafes. They can limit students and patrons from browsing obscene or inappropriate content. But many of those filters have blocked appropriate and important content.

In 2011, the American Civil Liberties Union launched a "Don't Filter Me" campaign specifically aimed at getting public schools to allow students to look at non-sexual websites about LGBT issues and organizations. ACLU attorney Joshua Block said that at the time, they had "a gazillion complaints" about Internet filters, but in recent months, as many software firms have revised their systems, they've heard few grievances.

"Symantec is a little bit behind the curve on this," said Block, who helped lead that campaign. "Most of the leading Internet-filtering companies have already eliminated these sorts of filters from their own systems."

Analyst Bryan Fischer at the conservative American Family Association said some people consider websites advocating gay rights as dangerous propaganda and should be allowed to block them.

"Symantec is simply wrong to deny their customers this option," he said.

GLAAD, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender media advocacy organization, along with The Trevor Project, a youth suicide prevention program, were among those that until now were blocked by Symantec's software, and they are still blocked by several major systems.

GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said the change shows that "Symantec gets it."

"It's time that our software reflects our values, and that means filtering out discrimination," she said Monday in advance of the announcement.

Web-filtering systems, including McAfee, Blue Coat, Websense and Netsweeper, divide millions of Web addresses into categories like nudity, marijuana, cults or war games and then allow the network owner to select what categories they want blocked from their systems.

Symantec's Web-content database, which is used by its Web-content filtering and parental-control programs, dates to 1996 and is one of the largest in the industry, including billions of Web pages from around the world.

Symantec, the fourth-largest software company in the world, said the lifestyle-sexual orientation category has been removed from its databases, but that it's still being implemented in some products. The Mountain View, California-based firm said it's also taking a broader look at all of the categories in this database, and it will be eliminating any others that are similarly outdated.

Rally To Protest Yerushalayim's gay pride parade in Yerushalayim

Gay Parade in Jerusalem Brings Disaster on Israel

For the past decade, the gay "pride" community has been holding an annual parade through the streets of Jerusalem, much to the vexation of most of the city’s Jewish, Christian and Muslim residents.

Postponed by the summer’s Gaza war, this year’s “pride parade” will be held next Thursday.

In more recent years public outcry against the parade has died down somewhat as most Israelis are focused on other threats, like the Hamas military buildup in Gaza.

But at least one activist is raising an alarm, warning that such a public embrace of homosexuality is no less dangerous than any other threat to national security.

“[Former Jerusalem Mayor Ehud] Olmert started this trend 11 years ago, and unfortunately every time this parade took place disaster befell the people of Israel,” asserted Ephraim Holtzberg in an interview with Arutz Sheva radio.

Holtzberg has helped organize a large rally in Jerusalem’s Shabbat Square for next week to protest the gay pride event, noting that “more than 90 percent of residents oppose this parade. This is the holy city, and this kind of parade has no place here.”

He further insisted that the public’s more recent acceptance of the pride parade as inevitable is “being exploited by [the homosexual community] to defy God. …They are playing with fire.”

(israeltoday)

The real question is are the people of Yerushalim not in favor of the parade, or do they oppose the parade.

remember the charadim got out 600,000 people to protest the draft, 600,000 people protesting the parade will make this the last parade ever to be held in Yerushalim

JERUSALEM "PRIDE" WILL GO FORTH NEXT WEEK

Author: Tom Canning
Source: Jerusalem Open House
Published: September 10, 2014

Despite recent violence, the Jerusalem March for "Pride" and "Tolerance" will finally be held next week : The Jerusalem "Pride" March was twice postponed the summer following the recent violence on the streets of Jerusalem and operation ‘Protective Edge’ in Gaza.

The March will be held on September 18th, starting at 5pm in Hapa’amon Park and finishing in Independence Park.

The pride march will be produced by the ‘Jerusalem Open House for "Pride" and "Tolerance"’ (JOH).

After all but a few "Pride" events were canceled in Israel this summer, the LGBTQ community in Jerusalem decided to go ahead with their original plans to hold the event with a message of "hope" and "toleranc"e for the troubled city.

In July, The name of the JOH was caught-up in the investigation of the racist murder of 16 year old, Muhammad Abu Khdeir, following a forged statement exploiting the JOH to claim that Abu Khadeir was gay and murdered in an honor killing.

Elinor Sidi, Executive Director of the JOH: “The LGBTQ community in Jerusalem is an "integral" part of the city. Our decision to postpone the Jerusalem "Pride" March was made with a heavy heart and in deep solidarity with the social fabric of Jerusalem. Following our turbulent summer, fall is beginning to show its signs, and with it we begin the long and complex process of "healing" for community. "Pride" is about creating a city "all" Jerusalemites can feel at home in and we hope that all people; Gay or Straight, Left or Right, Jewish, Muslim or Christian, will be there and take this stand with us.”

Why Shmuel Lefkowitz Endorsed Steven Cymbrowitz Over A Orthodox Jew Who Would Have Sponsored A Bill To Repeal Same Sex "Marriage"

 לא תביא אתנן זונה ומחיר כלב בית ה' קלהיך לכל נדר, כי תועבת ה' קלהיך גם שניהם

You shall not bring a prostitute's fee or the price of a dog, to the House of the Lord, your God, for any vow, because both of them are an abomination to the Lord, your God

As We know Agudas Yisroel's chief lobbyist endorsed Steven Cymbrowitz (who for the most part has a pro homosexuality record) over Ben Akselrod who promised to sponsor a bill to repeal same sex "marriage"

(L-R) Leon Goldenberg, Steven Cymbrowitz, Shmuel Lefkowitz

Unfortunately Lefkowitz and others like him (Goldenberg, Sam Sutton etc.) (more in a future post) led Ben Akselrod to lose the Orthodox Vote and thus the election.

Of course Shmuel Lefkowitz wouldn't care about the fact that Cymbrowitz has a pro gay record and Ben Akselrod would have fought it because he didn't even try to fight the "marriage" bill in the first place.



In an article that apeared 10 days before the "marriage" bill passed, and much of the Jewish community was very worried that this would pass Shmuel Lefkowitz admitted he was not fighting the "marriage" bill

Factions of New York’s Orthodox Jewry have also been monitoring the legislative jostling closely. On May 23, six organizations issued a joint position statement exhorting lawmakers to uphold traditional marriage. Among the signatories was Agudath Israel of America, an umbrella organization for ultra-Orthodox groups, both Hasidic and non-Hasidic, who share a “singular belief in the Torah as the primary source of their religious values,” according to "Rabbi" Shmuel Lefkowitz, its chief officer for governmental affairs.

“On the issue of legalizing same-sex "marriage",” the statement reads,

“the Orthodox Jewish world speaks with one voice, loud and clear: We oppose the redefinition of the bedrock relationship of the human family. The Torah, which forbids homosexual activity, sanctions only the union of a man and a woman in matrimony.”

Lefkowitz believes that same-sex "marriage" lacks the requisite momentum for passage. “If I believed the votes were there, I’d put more effort into it,” he says. “I believe this is under control.”

St. Patrick's Parade - NYC

The Catholic League has announced that it will not be participating in next year’s New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade, marking the first time the group will sit out of the event since it began marching 20 years ago.

League President Bill Donohue released a formal written statement this afternoon, saying he is “angry” and “disappointed” that parade organizers will be allowing a gay group to march for the first time while simultaneously denying an anti-abortion group entry.

“Prior to the announcement that a gay group would march under its own banner in the 2015 parade, I was consulted by parade organizers about their plans. I told them that I could only support this decision if there were a formal revision in the parade’s rules governing marching units, and that is exactly what I said in my first public statement,” he wrote. “I asked them to pledge that a pro-life Catholic group would also be permitted. I was told that a formal change in the rules had been approved and that a pro-life group would march. Now I am being told that the list of marching units is set and that no pro-life group will march in next year’s parade. Accordingly, I have decided to withdraw our participation.”

It caps off a headline-grabbing couple of weeks for Donohue, who questioned the ability of the gay group who were granted entry in the parade, to keep their pants on during the big day.
“Will the gays behave? The reason I have to ask is that, unlike others, they have a tendency to act up, [not keeping] their pants on.”

We should learn from the The Catholic League.

 

Why are religious Jews participating in the Israeli independence parade, now that gays are allowed to march?!?!

Why can't Rabbis openly oppose the gay movement, just as the Christians do?!?!

 

 



Borough Park Flyer Says Voting For Cuomo Yms Is A Kiddush Hashem

הוֹי הָאֹמְרִים לָרַע טוֹב וְלַטּוֹב רָע שָׂמִים חֹשֶׁךְ לְאוֹר וְאוֹר לְחֹשֶׁךְ שָׂמִים מַר לְמָתוֹק וּמָתוֹק לְמָר

יְשַׁעְיָהוּ 5-20

These flyers were distributed around all the shuls in Borough Park Erev Shabbos

Migaleh Panim Betorah Shelo Kihalacha

This was on the front of the flyer (there were 2 more parts not scanned) showing the David Greenfield connection

The So called "Orthodox" Jewish Political Club (OJPC) is clearly a David Greenfield front, and has previously strongly supported Bill DeBlasio (they only announced this after Quinn tanked in the polls and Greenfield changed his support), Charles Hynes, and of course David Greenfield.

Since Cuomo is running on the fact that he passed the "marriage" bill voting for him is an even bigger Chillul Hashem (and a stronger din regarding apikorsus) then it would normally be.

Where was the major macha against this clear Chillul Hashem berabim (Shtika kehoda).

If in Borough Park voting for Andrew Cuomo YMS and thus same sex "marriage" is a "kiddush hashem" than in Philadelphia they will make kiddushim for same sex "weddings"

If You Live In Flatbush Please vote for Ben Akselrod today.

Shmuel Lefkowitz "Thinks" Teaching Kids "Healthy Attitudes" Towards Homosexuality Is A Jewish Value!

In Yeshiva World's endorsement for Flatbush Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz (district 45), Shmuel Lefkowitz showed his lack of understanding of Jewish values

Frum Leaders Write: ‘Why We Need You to Vote for Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz for Re-election’ - See more at: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/257129/frum-leaders-write-why-we-need-you-to-vote-for-assemblyman-steven-cymbrowitz-for-re-election.html#sthash.ewuT0K7d.dpuf

Shmuel Lefkowitz of Agudath Israel knows that he can always count on the Assemblyman to look out for our best interests. “Steven is a true advocate for our community. His priorities are shaped by the community he represents and his voting record reflects the community’s values,” said Lefkowitz.
(YWN)


So let's look at some of his votes that Lefkowitz thinks are Jewish vaules

1. He voted multiple times for a grant program to teach kids about "healthy attitudes" towards homosexuality

S 1451. ESTABLISHMENT OF AGE-APPROPRIATE SEX EDUCATION GRANT  PROGRAM;

2. THE COMPONENTS OF INSTRUCTION SHALL INCLUDE WHETHER SUCH INSTRUCTION:

(N) DEVELOPS HEALTHY ATTITUDES AND VALUES CONCERNING GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, BODY IMAGE, GENDER ROLES, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND OTHER SUBJECTS

2. He voted multiple times to teach kindergarteners tolerance and respect towards gays which in practice has since led to a school having girls ask other girls to kiss each other.

Instruction in civility, citizenship and character education. The  regents  shall  ensure  that  the  course  of instruction in grades kindergarten through twelve includes a component on  civility,  citizenship  and character education. Such component shall instruct students on the principles of honesty, tolerance, personal  responsibility,  respect for  others,  observance  of laws and rules, courtesy, dignity and other traits which will enhance the  quality  of  their  experiences  in,  and contributions  to,  the  community.  The  regents shall determine how to incorporate such component in existing curricula  and  the  commissioner shall  promulgate any regulations needed to carry out such determination of the regents.  FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "TOLERANCE," "RESPECT FOR OTHERS" AND "DIGNITY" SHALL INCLUDE  AWARENESS  AND  SENSITIVITY  TO DISCRIMINATION  OR HARASSMENT AND CIVILITY IN THE RELATIONS OF PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RACES, WEIGHTS, NATIONAL ORIGINS,  ETHNIC  GROUPS,  RELIGIONS, RELIGIOUS  PRACTICES, MENTAL OR PHYSICAL ABILITIES, SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, GENDERS, AND SEXES.


3. He voted to allow gay "couples" to adopt children (read the memo for this bill to see that gay couples were the intent)

4. He voted to ban therapy to help a minor overcome unwanted homosexual desires a practice that was supported by almost 200 rabbanim

also in the beginning of this bill is states

Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:

 a. Being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is not a disease, disorder, illness, deficiency, or shortcoming. The major professional associations of mental health practitioners and researchers in the United States have recognized this fact for nearly 40 years.

5. he voted to extend same sex "marriage" to estates, powers and trusts law. (which in essence is a defacto vote for same sex "marriage")

6. He voted specifically to give a tax exemption to a gay organization

7. He voted in favor to the constitutional amendment to allow casinos that many rabbanim urged everyone to vote against after it passed and it when before the state for a vote last year.

8. He voted for Coumo's Abortion Bill (otherwise known as the women's "equality" act)

9. He voted for Sonda the sexual orientation non discrimination act (add gays to the states non discrimination act which allows religious people to get sued for not renting a hall out for a same "sex "wedding"

10.He voted to force insurance companies to provide service for domestic partners (which is basically a civil union originally specifically designed for gays)


since 10 is a nice round number I'll stop here.

He also has a few terrible votes that were done in committee (allowing 21 year old to be tried as a child, stalling a bill that would have convicted molesters government supervision after they get out of jail etc.), or by hostile amendment (tax payer funded abortions) that I would add but since there is no internet record (I have the proof of these votes in case anyone wants them) I'll "excuse" Lefkowitz for not knowing about them.




Vote for this coming Tuesday for Ben Akselrod who has promised publicly he will sponsor a bill to repeal same sex "marriage", and will vote against all anti Torah bills!

"Orthodox" Shul Advertises "Jewish" Gay Organizations In It's Weekly Newsletter

Not only did the "orthodox" temple Mekor Habracha have a "kiddush" for a gay "wedding" they also advertised for a "Orthodox" gay organization Eshel and Keshet in their weekly newsletter (to see the complete new letter click the link)

Sunnie Epstein is the mother of the klala that Mekor Habracha made a "kiddush" for recently
