Terror suspects arrested

The two men, identified as Mohammed Imran, 23, and Mohammed Yunus Saki, 24, were apprehended while trying to steal a motorcycle. They had been experimenting with building and detonating bombs, the reports said.

Nariman Chabad House director Rabbi Israel Kozlovsky shows shrapnel marks from the 2008 terror attacks on the eve of their 10th anniversary in 2018.

(TIMES OF ISRAEL) - Two Islamic terror suspects detained in India in recent days were plotting to carry out a series of bombings and had carried out surveillance of the Chabad House in Mumbai, Indian media reported on Monday.

The reports, quoting sources in the Maharashtra state anti-terrorism squad, said that during an ongoing probe into a local Islamist terror group known as Al-Sufa, two men were arrested over the weekend in the city of Pune.

They were found to be in possession of explosives, drone equipment, laptops and incriminating books written in Arabic. Among the documents found on a phone were pictures of the Chabad House in Mumbai and its GPS coordinates, the reports said.

Seven people were killed by gunmen at the Chabad House in 2008, including emissaries Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg - part of several attacks on Mumbai sites over four days by an Islamist Pakistani group. In total, 166 people were killed and hundreds injured.

Israel's Channel 12 news reported that Israeli intelligence cooperated in the probe leading to the arrest of the two men and that, in coordination with local authorities, security at the Jewish site had been stepped up.

The report said the investigation was looking at a possible link between the suspects and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). However, Indian media reports said the Al-Sufa group, which emerged in 2015, is most likely linked to jihadist groups in Pakistan.

The two men, identified as Mohammed Imran, 23, and Mohammed Yunus Saki, 24, were apprehended while trying to steal a motorcycle. They had been experimenting with building and detonating bombs, the reports said.

There have been several other terror attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets in India.

In 2021, a blast outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi damaged cars but caused no injuries, in an attack India has said was carried out by the Quds Force branch of Iran's IRGC.

A letter found close to the scene warned the Israeli ambassador that he was being watched and vowed to avenge the deaths of three "martyrs": IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani and top Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdia al-Muhandis, who were killed in a 2020 US drone strike; and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the architect of Iran's nuclear program, killed in a 2020 attack Tehran has blamed on Israel.

In February 2012, the wife of the Israeli military attaché was injured in a car bomb attack in New Delhi. Indian police concluded that Iran was behind that attack too.

It was part of a series of attempted attacks against Israeli targets around the world attributed to Iran during that period.

A few months ago my cousin and his friend rigged up a solar panel to a used car battery in order to power a bunch of Christmas lights they'd used to decorate an abandoned and possibly condemned mansion.

So yes, i absolutely believe that a bunch of twenty year old yeshivah students dug an illegal 60ft tunnel under a synagogue with unclear and quite possibly non-existent goals, without the knowledge of their teachers. Sometimes these things just happen.

#jumblr #Chabad tunnels #for context my cousin is seventeen and a genius. #he straight up ordered the solar panel to his house and told his parents it was for a project. they didn't even question it. #this is the same cousin who violated international sanctions when he was 15 btw. but that's another story

Eddie Munson grew up calling his father "tatty" which is Yiddish for father. He called his grandfather "zayde" which is grandfather in Yiddish

He also grew up saying Shema at night and Mode Ani in the morning. Once in a while, he still says them when he remembers. He also grew up washing his hands in the morning and for bread, but he doesn't do that any more. But he doe still have the bowl and cup set that he had as a child

And he shares all these things with Steve whenever the other man asks about the certain tasks he does. "It's kiddush on Friday night," Eddie replies, or sometimes, "I'm davening."

And Steve learns about it and supports his boyfriend because why shouldn't be? They even go visit New York together. They visit 770 and the Rebbe. On the way back to their hotel, a man outside a restaurant stops Eddie and asks "hey, did you put on Teffilin yet?"

And Eddie says no because he never has. He never got to. By the time he turned thirteen, he was living with Uncle Wayne, who didn't practice.

The man put Teffilin on Eddie's arms and head and they said the blessing. Steve watched his boyfriend with a proud smile. He was glad Eddie was happy

happy hanukkah, last night I walked by a group of chasidic guys arguing about how best to set up a giant light up menorah outside of the grocery store

Boston terror victim realizes dream of opening rabbinical school in New England

“After the horrific stabbing attack, we made it clear that we wouldn’t be scared off and would continue growing and spreading light,” said Rabbi Dan Rodkin, director of Shaloh House.

yall goyim need to understand that antisemitism isnt just people being mean online and Ms. JK transphobia rowling having antisemitic tropes in her books. This is shit that happens online of course, just like any other form of bigotry, but it also happens to us in real life. antisemitic incidents can include, but arent limited to:

Defacing jewish symbols

Grafitti of antisemitic symbols

Insults appearances

Using antisemitic slurs

Stalking

Workplace discrimination

Housing discrimination

Education discrimination

Discrimination in mental health spaces

Discrimination in physical health spaces

General attacks on synagogues, chabad centers, and other jewish gatherings

Increased attacks on jewish gatherings during the high holidays

Bomb threats

Shooting threats (this may be a USA specific one if it is please let me know)

Sexual harassment

Sexual assault

Rape

Stabbings

Beatings

Bullying (physical, emotional, sexual)

Abuse (physical, emotional, sexual)

Being called pedophiles, rapists, baby killers, nazis, etc. (simply for being jewish not because we have shown any signs we are those things)

Insults based on various antisemitic tropes (blood libel, dual loyalty, Jews controlling the world, etc.)

doxxing

threatening family members and friends

property damage

a lot of other physical violence I didn't mention

targeting of jewish community leaders (esp rabbis)

isolation from the goyische world

chased out of our homes

forcing jews to assimilate

murder

desecrating jewish graves

mocking jews who have died

refusing to believe jewish victims of sexual assault

kidnapping

and probably more that i forgot! if you have anything to add and you're jewish pls do so

these are not rare occurences at all. I have had well over half of these happen to me personally or to a jew that i am very very close to, and I at least distantly know another jew who has experienced one of the others. This is a fucking terrifying thing to deal with and yall don't need to get it but you need to try to understand how bad it can get for us

I would love to see religious Jews in Star Trek. I would love to see a bridge officer commanding while wearing a long skirt and a mitpachat. I would love to see another bridge officer wearing tzitzit under his uniform and a kippah. I would love to see him wrap tefilin before going to his post. I would love to hear someone offhand mention how those officers both can’t operate their replicators on Saturdays. I would love to see them search for the chabad house on every planet or starbase they visit. I would love to see them say Kaddish for fallen comrades. I would love to see them davening on the Holodeck (except for shabbos). I would love hearing them sing “Gesher Tzar Me’od” while their crew mates look on joyfully confused.

I would love to see at least a few of those things some day

Erev Pesach really is the worst- you have no Chametz left in your house and even if you did you can't eat it anyway, but you also can't eat Matzah or any other food that's part of the Seder, so you can't have wine, you can't have charoset, you can't have the vegetables you use in Karpas.....for breakfast this morning I had a fried egg (whoops eggs are part of Seder but I literally had no other food) and homemade cucumber pickles, no carbs at all, and for lunch I had two kosher-for-Pesach pastries I took from the Chabad house. It's awful. I have no food in my apartment except some eggs and homemade pickles. I'm just waiting till I get to my parents' place, at least they have cheese and chips and actual food.

Let me tell you about the time I and some fellow uni students went to Oxford for Shabbat. We went to a Chabad house for Friday night dinner with a bunch of families and had a convivial time. Except for the Pro Palestinian mob who had trapped us on the top floor by 'protesting' outside with police watching. They had surrounded our safe space and kept us there until gone midnight for no actual reason at all other than to try and bully and intimidate us for daring to exist and be Jewish. They make it a hobby and a habit to make sure that Jews do not get safety and security anywhere. They couldn't give a fuck that there were babies and children there. Jewish babies and children are acceptable targets for them. They are not above harassing and attacking Jewish schoolchildren and frequently do. There is a reason why Jewish youth groups have to move locations all the time and do not have signs declaring where they are located. For people who 'protest' about humanity, they certainly don't count Jews as humans. Pointing out the hypocrisy gets you shouted down.

Hey 👋

I have a long phrased question (please correct me if I'm wrong about sth). So, if I understand correctly it's common for jews to support other jews even if they disagree on some things. But is there some kind of red line? By which I mean, would you support for example a jew who's actively taking part in jvp, erm, activism? Or somehow for some reason helps hamas or any other group that wants to kill you? Or knowingly helps spreading lies about Israel, but then I repeat the jvp question. I guess you understand what I mean.

I'm asking because I think that this support for each other despite lots of things is a great thing, and it would be nice if people from my country were more forgiving and supporting towards each other. But I can't help but think of where the limits of support should be.

Anyways, I'm asking you cause it seems to me you tend to speak in a very direct way, and I like that a lot. Thanks for your time.

Hey anon and ty for the interesting question <3

It's difficult to answer because there is what I'd call a group perspective and my own individual perspective. We Jews view ourselves in a very collective sort of way and this is emphasized in many proverbs and traditional/scripture sayings like כל ישראל ערבים זה לזה ("all of israel [people] are responsible for each other"). This collective mindset that we have about "our group" creates this acceptance/togetherness you're asking about, which is great on the one hand because, for example, I know that no matter which country on the planet I'm stuck in, there will always be a Chabad center there that will house me, feed me and help me in any way I desire or need and they won't care whether I'm gay, a leftie, a rightoid, a liberal, religious or not religious. Their acceptance of me is unconditional because we are Jews and all of Israel are responsible for each other. On the other hand you will get instances like in the ultra orthodox communities where literal pedophiles, murderers and rapists are sheltered and protected from authorities for the same reason^.

Subjectively, I extend this same mindset to every jew so long as they're Normal and by Normal I mean didn't do something godawful to someone else, adjacent to what I described above in relation to the ultra orthodox. I treat everyone this way but I will admit that I am much more patient with Jews, subconsciously.

Sharing Mylight - Spread Joy

You know what? I'm tired. I just had a peaceful shabbat, my first time completely keeping shabbat and also seeing havdalah actually! It was the first time since this whole thing started that I felt like I could breathe and exist peacefully.

I was so tired. I was scared every day. Angry every day. Sad every day. And those negative emotions are so draining. It was amazing to just switch off my phone, and even though I had moments when I worried about what I would see when I turned my phone back on, it was generally a calm and restful day.

Immediately after havdalah, we were all hit in the face with reality. We were trying to figure out how to get back to campus and decided that driving was safer. Then we heard from someone who had come over from the chabad building (we were at the rabbi's house before) who said there was a massive pro-Hamas rally. It was so massive that it could be heard from the chabad, even though it was at least two miles away.

The rally was on the way back to campus, so we drove past it. It was awful. These people were chanting their genocidal slogans, carrying their hateful, antisemitic signs.

One sign stood out to me in particular. It was a poster comparing the Israeli flag to the Nazi flag.

I'll be honest, I had a panic attack in that car.

You know how if you bend a piece of metal a lot of times it breaks? This whole week was bending me back and forth, with me cycling through all of my negative emotions constantly. That sign is what broke me.

Those monsters are killing our children, beheading our babies, burning the babies alive, kidnapping our elderly, holding our people hostage, bombarding our families, and they compare us to the Nazis? This was the worst killing of Jews since the Holocaust and they are comparing us to the Nazis?

It's fucking disgusting.

Israel warns Gazan civilians to evacuate before they start trying to get rid of Hamas. Israel tries to open evacuation routes for them.

Israel didn't get any warning. Israel didn't get evacuation routes.

Israel fights to protect life, Hamas fights to end it.

So you know what? I'm tired. I'm tired of being bent back and forth until I break. I'm sure you are tired too. Let's find a way to bring light to Jumblr (I sure do mention light a lot, I didn't actually name myself mylight-png on purpose, I promise).

If you draw, draw something celebrating Jewish joy. If you bake, bake something Jewish that makes you happy. If you write, then write about some positive Jewish experiences. If you do pottery, make something Jewish. Whatever media you use in order to create, use it to create something Jewish and positive. Something celebrating our light in this time of darkness.

Post it here with the tag "sharing mylight" (yes space it like that to avoid overlapping other tags and also because haha pun)(obviously without the quotation marks).

In a world that wants us gone, share light!

I'll be trying to create something as well, and I'll post it here when I'm done.

I attended events almost every night this week and it all is making me grateful to be leaving college soon. On Tuesday, I went to kosher dinner, which is basically a meal at the chabad house (it’s free and means I don’t have to cook AND I get to hang out w some of my reclusive friends). On Wednesday, I worked an event for the bookstore that had several people show up who were openly hostile to me (from the pro-pal crowd on campus). On Thursday, I went to an antisemitism workshop run by a group of students doing a program called “Stories that Live”, which documents the stories of Holocaust survivors. On Friday, I went to Shabbat 100 (try to invite 100 people to dinner) and heard the story of a professor who has been harassed by her students for being openly Jewish. Today (Sunday), I went to a talk, “how do you Jew”, where professors and students spoke about their connections to Judaism. One Professor talked about how people don’t care about the complexities of his Israeli-American identity and position as a political scientist; they just see him as A Jew who is the enemy.

The posters advertising the antisemitism workshop, Shabbat 100 and How Do You Jew were all torn down. We used to have a private security guard posted outdid the chabad house, but in recent months we now have an armed police detective instead. A synagogue about 10 mins away has been graffitied with swatzikas TWO weeks in a row. Students don’t feel safe on campus. My mom, who normally doesn’t worry too much about my safety (she knows I know how to handle myself), told me to be careful and to stay safe.

People on my campus have the audacity to say that antisemitism isn’t a problem here at our college and our sibling colleges. I can’t imagine being so blind.

I’m burnt out from being around these people for the last 6 months. I love my department and my friends, but I cannot wait to walk across that stage and leave this place behind

my (american) college’s chabad house has a big ‘bring them back’ banner hung up on the wall facing the street. it’s captioned verbatim “we won’t stop until they’re all back #bringthemhomenow”. which, you know… stop fucking *what* exactly lmao? say it with your chest!

but this transparent incitement of the ongoing violence against palestinians is not objected to by our administration. the banner is still up. our SJP, however, was disbanded by the school after weeks of (completely legal) rallies & sit-ins held by them— without any reason or evidence given as to what rules they broke. they were re-instated after a broad show of solidarity from all the other student organizations & clubs. they continue to hold rallies across the street from where the chabad house is located. i still have to walk past the chabad & see that banner every friday to get to class, but many days i can hear the chanting of the palestinian students & their allies not far behind me calling for ceasefire. for all their banners and stickers and fliers, the world knows that israel’s violence is unforgivable. i want you to know that anywhere their propaganda and hateful words can be seen, cries for justice— in the most literal sense— are always heard not far from it.

Thank you for sharing this 🤍 the last bit is exactly what we need to hear to stay sane in the midst of this violence.
