דברים פרק יח פסוק ד

"רֵאשִׁית דְּגָנְךָ תִּירֹשְׁךָ וְיִצְהָרֶךָ וְרֵאשִׁית גֵּז צֹאנְךָ תִּתֶּן לוֹ, כִּי בוֹ בָּחַר ה' אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִכׇּל שְׁבָטֶיךָ לַעֲמֹד לְשָׁרֵת בְּשֵׁם ה' הוּא וּבָנָיו כׇּל הַיָּמִים"

מצוות יישוב והורשת הארץ שאנו מקיימים בגבעות, מזכה אותנו גם במצוות רבות ומיוחדות שמחברות אותנו לה' יתברך ומהוות החוט המקשר בין עם ישראל - לארצו ולתורתו.

כל מצווה כזו שמגיעה לידינו היא שמחה עצומה, וכמידת ייחודיותה - כך גודל המעמד שיש לציין אותה.

חגגנו אתמול בגבעת צאן אביעזר בשומרון את מצוות ראשית הגז של שנת תשפ"ו, בהודיה לה' יתברך על שפע הגשמים והברכה בעדר 🌾🐑

אנו מודים לעשרות התושבים מיצהר, רב הישוב הרב דודי דודקביץ' והכהן החשוב אוריה כהן שהגיעו לשמוח עימנו בשמחתה של הארץ. 

Devarim 18:4

4 The first of your grain, your wine, and your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him [to the Kohen].

5 For the L-rd, your G-d, has Chosen him out of all your Tribes, to stand and serve in the name of the L-rd, he and his sons, all the days.


The Mitzvah of Settling and Inheriting the Land that we observe in the Hills also entitles us to many special Mitzvot that connect us to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, the Blessed One, and constitute the thread that connects the people of Israel - to their Land and to their Torah.

Every such Mitzvah that comes to our hands is a tremendous joy, and the greater its uniqueness - the greater the status that must be celebrated.

Yesterday, we celebrated the Mitzvah of Reishit HaGez, The First Fleece Offering of 5786 at Givat Tzon Aviezer in the Shomron, in Thanksgiving to Hashem for the abundance of rain and the Blessing on the Flock 🌾🐑

We thank the dozens of residents from Yitzhar, the Rabbi of the Yishuv, Rabbi Dudi Dudkevich, and the important Cohen, Uriah Cohen who came to rejoice with us in the rejoicing of the Land 🌱🍷

FYI

"ראשית הגז" (Reshit HaGez) translates to English as "The First Shearing" or "The First of the Fleece".This refers to a Biblical Commandment (Mitzvah) requiring a farmer to give the first portion of sheared wool from their sheep to a Kohen (priest).

Please Publicize Regavim and Pulse of Israel. These Excellent Podcasts Put Settlers in a Positive Light While Debunking a False Narrative of Settler Violence.

Bsd

Regavim, Naomi Linder Kahn

25 minutes in this podcast, the interviewer, a former leftist, explains why it is necessary to create a Settler Violence narrative in order to justify the 2 State Solution narrative of 30 years. 

October 7th showed everyone that the Arabs are not really interested in coexistance. It was blatantly clear. Those attacked on October 7th, were progressive and Leftist Kibbutzim who were the greatest promoters of peaceful coexistance with our Palestinian neighbors. 

So now the only option to counter the false conceptzia of peaceful coexistance in order to promote a 2 State Solution, a Jewish State and a Palestinian State living peacefully side by side, is pushing a narrative of Settler Violence.  So it's not anymore about peaceful coexistance but rather the Palestinians need their own State to protect themselves from Israel Occupation and Settler Violence 

The Settler Violence Narrative is orchestrated very aggressively by our enemies. 

Our enemies abuse the fact that democracy, and those who believe and support Western values, ensure that people are balanced by listening and showing both sides. 

 Arutz7, especially the Hebrew news, and othe good platforms are being used by Israel's  enemies to present a "balanced" picture by  reporting about  a "fringe", "small group" of lawless and potentially violent Settlers . 

The mere suggestion of Settler Violence, especially by a right wing platform or by an individual in the right wing camp like a "Rabbi who is a Settler himself"  plays into our enemies media warfare. 

A mere suggestion, often fabricated, without factual evidence,  gets overblown to suggest Jews are Occupiers and Violent and the Arabs therefore need their own State for their own protection.

Thank you Avi Abelow of Pulse of Israel as well for fighting back

My Response To: 🥕 PSFC: Message from the General Manager: Concerns following the April 28th General Meeting.

Bsd

From: Robin Ticker
To: Joe Szladek
General Manager PSFC


Dear Joe,

Regarding your letter to the Park Slope Food Coop below.  Addressing the following:

Re: The hateful remarks of the PSFC member

“We can’t keep making the same mistakes between we did with the Nazis and what we did with other hateful, racist groups. Jewish supremacism is a problem in this country, and we will move forward as a country with or without this Coop.”

My response:

“We can’t keep making the same mistakes between what we did with the Nazis and what we did with other hateful, racist groups. Jew Hatred is a problem in this country, and we will move forward as a country with or without this Coop.”
----
Re: the response of the General Manager of the Park Slope  food coop in response to the hate statement at their membership meeting.
"The Park Slope Food Coop does not tolerate hatred or discrimination of any kind. Antisemitism is no exception."

My Response:
The Park Slope Food Coop tolerates and feeds Hatred and anti Semitism in their Membership meeting, in their newsletters and various committees..
----

Re:
"Separately, another member’s comments during the meeting included the phrase “Arab supremacy” within a statement referencing the events of October 7th, 2023 and the Muslim Brotherhood. Again, assigning supremacist characteristics to entire groups, whether based on religion, ethnicity, or identity, contributes to division and can leave members feeling targeted or unwelcome. Anti-Arab sentiment, like antisemitism, has no place at the Coop."

My Response:
This is a war between Good and Evil. The Muslim Brotherhood is Evil. Their hate ideology and Supremacy "education" led to October 7th basically a massacre, Genocide. They are the Nazis of our generation.

The PSFC needs to choose Good over Evil and not sit on the fence.
Giving Evil a safe space is feeding Evil. 

Over the years the PSFC has consistently given Evil a safe platform to their 17,000 members.

Unless such evil is totally eradicated in the PSFC with Zero Tolerance, the PSFC is to be held accountable. Boycotted and Shamed.

No discourse can be allowed that gives a platform of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas supporters, perpetrators of October 7th, today's Islamist Nazis.

Give a platform only to support those that support Good and that means supporting Israel. 

Every member has a choice. They can stay with the PSFC which as of now nourishes evil and gives a safe forum to the Muslim Brotherhood and Genocide and by doing so chooses to feed Evil or they can leave and boycott the PSFC  and choose to support the side of Good and support businesses that support all kinds of Israeli products and specifically organic products from Judea and Samaria the ancient and Biblical heartland of the Nation of Israel.

And You Shall Choose Life.

End of discussion.

Subject: 🥕 PSFC: Message from the General Manager: Concerns following the April 28th General Meeting

Dear Members,

I’m writing to address disturbing remarks that were made at the Park Slope Food Coop’s April 28th, 2026 General Meeting.

During the discussion related to boycott voting procedures, a member made the following statement: “We can’t keep making the same mistakes between we did with the Nazis and what we did with other hateful, racist groups. Jewish supremacism is a problem in this country, and we will move forward as a country with or without this Coop.”

Unfortunately, a notable number of attendees applauded this remark. Members shared, both during the meeting and after, how deeply hurtful this was. The combination of the statement, which is unacceptable and antisemitic, and the applause, which signals acceptance of language that has no place at the Coop, not only hurt our community but attributes harmful, false characteristics to an entire group of people and reflects widely recognized antisemitic tropes.

The Park Slope Food Coop does not tolerate hatred or discrimination of any kind. Antisemitism is no exception.

Separately, another member’s comments during the meeting included the phrase “Arab supremacy” within a statement referencing the events of October 7th, 2023 and the Muslim Brotherhood. Again, assigning supremacist characteristics to entire groups, whether based on religion, ethnicity, or identity, contributes to division and can leave members feeling targeted or unwelcome. Anti-Arab sentiment, like antisemitism, has no place at the Coop.

The Coop has always been a place for open discussion, including difficult and strongly held views across deep divides, but that discussion must remain grounded in civil discourse. In these instances, that standard was not met and represents a concerning escalation in the rhetoric at these meetings.

The member who made the antisemitic statement is being formally investigated through the Coop’s dispute resolution process. Other statements are under review and will be addressed in line with those same standards.

We are also taking steps to strengthen how these meetings are facilitated. We are working with the Chair Committee, which facilitates our General Meetings, to review protocols and pursue additional training and tools to better manage these increasingly challenging meetings.

More broadly, there is something I need the entire membership to know.

Conflicts much bigger than the Coop are playing out in General Meetings, putting real strain on our governance and on the Coop as a whole. This is concerning and something we should all be paying close attention to.

I’ll be direct: the Coop needs you to participate.

Many of you don’t attend General Meetings. You have told me you stay away because they feel tense, combative, or unproductive. This is understandable especially for members whose identities feel threatened—but it also means fewer voices are present.

When attendance is low, well-organized participation by any side of an issue can have an outsized impact, creating a gap between meeting decisions and the sentiment of the membership as a whole. Over time, that gap can affect the Coop’s long-term health and stability. When more members attend, the discourse changes, the discussion widens, and the outcomes better represent the Coop. We’re at our strongest when the widest range of voices are present and heard.

Our governance model is open—any member can bring an agenda item for a vote. That’s part of what makes the Coop special, but it also means the usual guardrails found in other organizations only comes from the membership itself.

There is so much to be proud of at the Coop and so much that members value. We provide living wages and strong benefits to staff; we make great food accessible to all who participate; we direct millions of dollars to small farms and small businesses, to name just a few. Together, we show there is a better way to do business.

Both that work and the ability for all members to participate without feeling targeted are worth protecting. But that requires your involvement.

I am asking as many of you who can to attend upcoming General Meetings. I am also asking you to spread the word to fellow members about the importance of their participation.

General Meetings take place at 7pm on the last Tuesday of every month and can now be attended virtually, making it easier than ever for more members to participate. Sign-up is available here:

https://members.foodcoop.com/services/gm/

I hope to see many of you there.

Thank you,
Joe Szladek
General Manager


Additional Information

The Coop is offering facilitated conversations led by two members who are experienced mediators, to discuss how recent conflicts, including boycott discussions, are impacting members. These moderated spaces are open to all members and support respectful dialogue. More information can be found here:

https://www.foodcoop.com/facilitated-conversation/

If you have experienced discrimination or harassment at the Coop, you can file a complaint with the Dispute Resolution Committee at foodcoopdrc@gmail.com. I am also available to hear your concerns. We are committed to ensuring everyone feels safe and respected.

Lastly, the April 28th meeting was recorded and shared outside the Coop. This violates Coop policy and raises serious concerns about digital privacy and participation. Anyone found recording or sharing meetings without authorization will be referred to the Dispute Resolution Committee. We are reviewing procedures and technology to better protect member privacy.

Avi Abelow Pulse of Israel: They Ignored the Land Grab. Now They Blame Jews Fighting Back.

Bsd

The Jews Fight Back and the Elites are Livid

A New Generation Defending Our Land Securing Our Future. Illegal Takeover Funded by the PA and EU

Channel 13 in Israel recently aired a report portraying Bedouin being pushed off their land due to so-called “settler violence,” presented by journalist Baruchi Kara alongside several former senior IDF generals and intelligence chiefs, including Tamir Pardo. 

But this was not journalism. It is narrative warfare against the Jewish people. And it is dangerous.

Because beneath the reporting about “settler violence” and Bedouin encampments, lies a far more consequential story, one that the media is not telling.

When I served in the IDF in the 1990s, I spent significant time on Golani bases in the Jordan Valley. I know that terrain intimately, running up and down those hills for miles. And I can state clearly: the hills were empty. Not “Bedouin-owned.” No Bedouin encampments at all. Empty.

Over the years, that reality changed, not organically, not legally, but systematically. One hill at a time was seized and settled by Bedouin encampments. This was not random. It was part of a strategic plan driven by the Palestinian Authority, with backing, funding, and political cover from the European Union and European governments. 

The objective is simple: to create irreversible facts on the ground that will carve out a de facto Palestinian state deep inside Israel’s strategic depth, by encouraging Bedouin families to grab land all across the empty areas.

While the channel 13 media report is framing this as a humanitarian story, it is not. It is a geopolitical operation to steal Israeli land and de-facto create a Palestinian State.

And that brings us to the so-called “hilltop youth.”

They are not the story being told. They are the response.

These young Jews are moving onto strategic areas, land that is Israeli state land, illegally grabbed by Bedouin as part of the EU supported Palestinian Authority plan to take away our land, and they are reestablishing a Jewish presence there. Not as an act of rebellion, but as an act of defense.

But here is the uncomfortable truth that the report completely ignores:

These young people are stepping in because the system failed.

Because when the very same senior officials featured in that program were in positions of authority, in the military, in intelligence, in decision-making roles, they did nothing to stop the illegal seizure of land by the Palestinian Authority and its European backers. They watched it happen. They allowed it to develop. And over time, those illegal outposts became entrenched “facts on the ground.”

And now, after years of inaction that enabled this strategic erosion, they turn around and condemn the only people actively pushing back.

A new generation of young Jews, forged in the aftermath of October 7th and deeply disillusioned by the failures of the very security and legal systems meant to protect them, refuses to sit quietly. They are stepping in to do what should have been done all along: to defend the land and, by extension, the Jewish people.

And here’s the part that truly exposes the narrative.

In the report itself, the journalist criticizes Smotrich and the government for providing funding and rangers to these hilltop youth.

Why?

Because even the government understands what others refuse to admit: these young pioneers are operating in the very space where senior security officials and legal authorities have chosen not to act.

The report, and words of the former senior defense officials, is not just hypocrisy. It is an abdication of responsibility.

Because what we are seeing today is the natural consequence of that failure: when the state does not protect its own strategic land, individuals step in to do what the system would not.

And whether one is comfortable with that reality or not, it does not change the core issue: control of land in Judea and Samaria is not theoretical. It is the front line of Israel’s long-term security.

Anyone who understands geography, security doctrine, and the lessons of October 7th knows the truth: a hostile entity taking over Judea and Samaria, and in extension is a direct threat to every Israeli, from the Jordan Valley to Tel Aviv, from the Negev to the Galilee.

Yet in that televised tour, something deeply revealing happened.

These former heads of Israel’s military and intelligence establishment, the very people entrusted with protecting the state and its citizens, spoke about these areas as if they naturally belong to the Bedouin. As if those of us who ran up and down those barren hills in the Jordan Valley don't remember that just 30 years ago there were no Bedouin encampments on those hills. As if the past decades of illegal Bedouin encroachment never happened. As if the coordinated effort by the Palestinian Authority and Europe to reshape the map of Judea and Samaria simply does not exist.

Even more disturbing, they framed fellow Jews, the hilltop youth, as the threat.

They warned that the “next October 7th” could come because of them.

Think about that.

Instead of identifying the jihadi forces that openly seek Israel’s destruction, instead of confronting the strategic land grab that endangers our borders and our future, these former Israeli security officials turn against fellow Jews. They have chosen to see the Jews rebuilding presence on critical land as the problem.

This is not just a disagreement. This is a collapse of strategic clarity.

It is the same conceptual failure we have seen before, the belief that if we reinterpret reality, if we ignore the deeper threat, we can manage the conflict without confronting it.

Reality doesn’t work that way.

And the gap is now undeniable.

Between a generation still trapped in failed conceptions, and a generation that understands we have no other land.

Between those who have forgotten who the enemy is, and those who refuse to make that mistake again.

Between those who dream of Israel becoming “like all other nations,” and those who understand the unique responsibility of Jewish sovereignty in our homeland.

And this is why every Israeli must understand what is really at stake.

When the hilltop youth are demonized, people establishing a Jewish presence on lands being taken illegally by our enemies, with their own hands, continuing the legacy of Jewish pioneers, it is not just a personal attack.

It is an attack on the very people standing on the front lines of Israel’s future, protecting every single Israeli citizen.

When the hilltop pioneers are targeted, it is not about law enforcement. It is about delegitimizing the only forces actively countering a strategic land grab that threatens all of us.

Weakening them does not strengthen Israel.

It weakens the backbone of our national resilience.

We will not apologize.

Not for building.
Not for holding onto our ancestral land.
Not for pushing off squatters.
Not for recognizing the reality that others chose to ignore when they had the power to act.

We will continue to build.
We will continue to hold the land.
And we will continue to defend the future of the Jewish people, with clarity, with strength, and without illusions.

Thank God we have a new generation. Still not enough in senior positions within the IDF, intelligence services or legal system, but the tide is turning. 

Strengthen your faith. We still have plenty of ups and downs ahead, but the trajectory is clear.

Am Yisrael!!!

*לוחם מילואים נעצר בידי משטרת מחוז ש"י והשב"כ בחשד שירה והרג ערבי באירוע בו ערבים תקפו יהודים סמוך לחווה בגוש שילה לפני מספר שבועות.*

הלוחם נמצא במעצר שב"כ תחת צו דרקוני וחריג של איסור מפגש עם עורך דינו. בית המשפט דחה את בקשת המשטרה והשב"כ להארכת מעצר של 12 ימים והאריך את המעצר ביומיים.

עו"ד נתי רום המייצג הלוחם מטעם ארגון חוננו מסר: "כואב לראות לוחם במילואים שהמדינה עושה שימוש כנגדו בכלים הכי חריגים שמשמשים כנגד אויבינו - בשעת מלחמה זה כואב שבעתיים".

יש לציין כי בדיון היום בבימ"ש נחשף כי המחבל שנהרג הוא לפי החשד פעיל חמאס אשר היה מעורב בעברו בלינץ' בנערים יהודים שעשו טיול בר מצווה סמוך ליישוב מגדלים והותקפו בצורה קשה.

הלוחם, כבן 25, תושב השומרון, לחם בעזה כלוחם בגדוד דוכיפת, שימש כקשר סמ"פ, עשה מאות ימי מילואים, בוגר מכינה קדם צבאית. ערר שהגישו בארגון חוננו כנגד הצו החריג המונע מפגש עם עו"ד נדחה. בשלב זה הצו מונע מלוחם המילואים לפגוש בעו"ד עד היום בלילה.

*A reserve soldier was arrested by the Shiloh District Police and the Shin Bet on suspicion of shooting and killing an Arab in an incident in which Arabs attacked Jews near a farm in Gush Shiloh several weeks ago.*

The soldier is in Shin Bet custody under a draconian and exceptional order prohibiting him from meeting with his lawyer. The court rejected the police and Shin Bet's request for a 12-day extension of detention and extended the detention by two days.

Attorney Nati Rom, who represents the soldier on behalf of the Honenu organization, said: "It hurts to see a reserve soldier against whom the state uses the most extraordinary tools used against our enemies - in times of war it hurts doubly."

It should be noted that in today's hearing in court it was revealed that the terrorist who was killed is suspected of being a Hamas operative who was previously involved in a lynching of Jewish boys who were on a Bar Mitzvah trip near the settlement of Magdala and were severely attacked.

 The fighter, about 25 years old, a resident of Samaria, fought in Gaza as a fighter in the Duchifat Battalion, served as a company liaison officer, did hundreds of days of reserve duty, graduated from a pre-military preparatory school. An appeal filed by the Honenu organization against the exceptional order preventing a meeting with an attorney was rejected. At this stage, the order prevents the reserve fighter from meeting with an attorney until tonight.

Yom Ha’atzmaut 5786: Israel’s Sovereignty Is a Dangerous Illusion




Examples of Right Wing personalities, Rabbis etc and Media used to create a false narrative of "marginal" Settler Violence which distorts the truth and slanders the Settler Youth.
