SEPT 20 SUNDAY RALLY AT NOON  WHERE: at the United States Mission to the United Nations, East 45th Street between First and Second Avenues in Manhattan.

 

PLEASE JOIN TRI-STATE RABBIS AS THEY LEAD THE TRI-STATE AREA IN A SPIRITUAL COALITION RALLY FOR A BETTER IRAN DEAL AS HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS ENGAGE IN ACTIVISM FEARING INCREASES OF ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUSES  NATIONALLY  BECAUSE OF THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

R S V P CINDY GROSZ  RSVPTH5TFR@GMAIL.COM

The rally has been organized by Rabbi Avi Weiss, Spiritual Leader of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale in the Bronx and founder of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and Rabbi Bruce Ginsburg, Spiritual Leader of Congregation Sons Of Israel in Woodmere, NY who has served as president of the Long Island Board of Rabbis and as President of the Union for Traditional Judaism.  

This rally differs from others in that rabbis from across the religious spectrum will join together for a different type of gathering -- one where people address the politicians rather than politicians addressing the people. They will offer a moral voice that is raised through prayer, reflection, song, and the sounding of the shofar.  Among those rabbis already confirmed include:

Rabbi Rick Block -- immediate past international President of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (the Reform rabbinical organization); spiritual leader of Temple Tifereth Israel in Beachwood, Ohio

Rabbi Perry Raphael Rank -- past international President of the Rabbinical Assembly (Conservative); spiritual leader of Midway Jewish Center, Syosset, NY

Rabbi Charles Klein -- past President of the New York Board of Rabbis; spiritual leader of Merrick Jewish Center, Merrick, NY

 

Rabbi Elliot Skiddell -- current President of the Long Island Board of Rabbis; spiritual leader of Reconstructionist Congregation Beth Emeth, Rockville Centre, NY

Rabbi Art Vernon -- current President of the Queens/Nassau/Suffolk Region of the Rabbinical Assembly (Conservative); spiritual leader of the West Hempstead J.C.C., West Hempstead, NYC

RABBIS WISHING TO PARTICIPATE CONTACT: rabbi@csoiwoodmere@gmail.com  OR  516 374 0655  

 

Cindy Grosz, Coordinator of Stop Iran Now College Activism will work with groups like Stand With Us to include many students from public and private schools and colleges around New York. 

Why September 20? The chosen date will fall precisely as Congress concludes its initial vote on the deal, the President weighs a veto or filibuster, and the Senate and House considers its response. As all those dynamics come to a head, the pro-Israel community will need and deserve a constructive outlet to express its opposition to the Iran deal. This gathering will occur five days after Rosh Hashanah and three before Yom Kippur, providing rabbis with an unparalleled opportunity to first mobilize the Jewish community's support for this effort and then use its impact to raise consciousness even further across the country. THE RALLY WILL BE TELEVISED LIVE ON JBS TV.

OBAMA SET TO DEPORT 12 IRAQI CHRISTIAN  Iraqi Christians - also known as Chaldeans - have been detained in Otay for about six months as their immigration cases proceeded, activists and family members.  The Chaldeans were detained by immigration authorities after they attempted to cross the U.S.-Mexico border through the San Ysidro Port of Entry without documentation several months ago.   It's likely that most of the Iraqis will be deported to such countries as Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, where many United Nations refugee camps are stationed.

If those nations send these Christians back to Iraq they will face almost certain death.

Iraq is home to one of the most ancient Christian communities, evangelized by the Apostle Thomas not long after the time of Jesus. It was home to 1.5 million Christians under Saddam Hussein but after the U.S. invaded in 2003, al-Qaida started bombing churches and kidnapping prominent Christian leaders. The attacks became more fierce after al-Qaida in Iraq morphed into ISIS and the country has been virtually emptied of its Christian population since then.

 

Estimates now range from 200,000 to 300,000 Christians remaining in the country, mostly in Baghdad and in Kurdish-controlled areas to the northeast.

WILL THE POPE PROTEST ON THEIR BEHALF?  The U.S. has large Chaldean Catholic communities in Detroit and San Diego.  Chaldean families have held regular demonstrations in support of the 27 detainees, the majority of whom have family who are U.S. citizens, but on Monday they were told by government officials they'd better not comment on the issue.   At the same time the Obama administration deporting Christians, it has over the years allowed in hundreds of Muslim migrants from Africa and the Middle East who crossed the Southern border the same way the Chaldeans did.

Obama targets Christian immigration attorney.  Obama's Justice Department has also gone after the nation's most successful Chaldean Christian immigration attorney, Robert Dekelaita, 52, of Glenview, Illinois.  DeKelaita has helped thousands of Christians escape the jihadist-inspired violence of Iraq, Egypt and Syria going back to 2001. For his efforts, he was indicted last year on charges of immigration fraud.  DeKelaita maintains his innocence and is still awaiting trial.

 

In an interview with WND last month, DeKelaita said Chaldean-Americans are some of the hardest working of all immigrants. Many in Detroit are successful businessmen who employ hundreds in the convenience store and hospitality industries.  "These are proud Americans who love this country, just very solid families involved in their communities and churches," he said.  (Full Story WND)

HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS EVERY YEAR, HAVE BEEN ALLOWED ENTRY TO THE USA, ILLEGALLY AND AS REFUGEES?


VET GROUP LOST NONPROFIT STATUS  The Internal Revenue Service revoked the nonprofit status of the veterans benefit organization that hosted and sold tickets to a foreign policy speech by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump aboard a retired U.S. battleship, The Associated Press has learned. The group's endorsement of Trump at the event also could raise legal problems under campaign finance laws.

The group's chairman, Joel Arends of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, said the organization was appealing the IRS decision. He would not provide AP with copies of any tax returns, which would show how much money the group has collected over the years and how it spends its money. By law, such records are supposed to be available to the general public for inspection.  "We disagree with the IRS determination letter," Arends told the AP in an interview. He appeared alongside Trump on Tuesday night on the ship. (full article)

LAST NIGHT SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL CAME UP WITH WHAT HE PROBABLY THINKS IS A BOLD 'PLAN B' FOR THE IRAN VOTE, IT'S ACTUALLY AN ACT OF COWARDICE.  McConnell announced that if Democrats continue to filibuster, he will offer a new amendment on the President's deal with Iran. This one will say that the President can't go forward with the sanctions relief to Iran unless or until the Iranian regime releases American prisoners held in Iran AND Iran recognizes Israel as a state. 

Firstly it encourages the anti-Semites in this country who believe that the Jewish Lobby controls everything and the only reason to oppose the Iran deal is to protect Israel.  Nonsense  Ayatollah's lemmings are also screaming "death to America!"  Iran doesn't need a ballistic missile program to nuke Israel it is to reach the United States.  Iran did not encourage Hezbollah to build a terrorist network throughout South America to attack Israel, it is to attack the United States.

Majority Leader McConnell amendment that American prisoners should be released and Israel recognized as a state before billions of dollars are released to the Iranian regime. Is a giant plate of nothing.

Republican leadership is ignoring the bold step the Democrats would take if they were in power, the "nuclear option." Make it a no filibuster vote. Last week on the Hugh Hewitt show John McCain said it should be considered and Marco Rubio  supported the Idea .

Krauthammer suggests the Senate follow the House strategy: "You want to put them on the record? Introduce an amendment that says what the House bill does; that the treaty was never submitted as required because it doesn't include all of the documents - meaning, the secret IAEA deals, which allow Iran to inspect itself." He then went further, asking why McConnell isn't invoking the nuclear option. "If Harry Reid applied it so he could get 2-3 judicial appointments through the Second Circuit, then why not do it over the most important treaty of our time?"

An Evening of Commemoration & Stories

On October 8, 1985, terrorists representing the Palestinian Liberation Organization stormed the Achille Lauro cruise ship, murdering Leon Klinghoffer, who was vacationing with his wife and friends. His tragic death became a rallying cry in the fight against terrorism. In the ensuing years the story was co-opted and re-told through the lens of popular culture. Ilsa and Lisa Klinghoffer and other special guests will reveal their stories publicly for the first time.

NEWS REPORTS

1- 'JERUSALEM-' THE HOLY BASIN'  The growing, youthful Jewish emigration from Jerusalem is driven by the scarcity of jobs as well as costly and limited housing. It was triggered - beginning in the 1990s - by Israeli Prime Ministers, who have relegated Jerusalem to a lower national priority, reflecting limited capability to withstand opposition, by US Presidents, to Jewish construction beyond the pre-1967 armistice line; in sharp contrast to preceding Prime Ministers. 

 

Thus, recent Prime Ministers have sacrificed the significant upgrading of Jerusalem's infrastructure of growth on the altar of the supposed peace process with the Palestinian Authority, which seeks to annul Jerusalem's reunification, worships suicide bombers and operates the most effective assembly line for manufacturing terrorists: a K-12 destroy-Israel-education system.  (chorus: Sounds familiar to 'democracies worldwide'.) A strong movement exists to employ Arab/Muslim teachers in Israel's schools.

 

As a result, parallel to the increasing Jewish emigration from Jerusalem, some 50,000 Arab residents of these neighborhoods - possessing Israeli ID cards - Meanwhile, palestineans immigrated over the walls and the fences deeper into Jerusalem, lest they lose Israeli social and welfare benefits.  (chorus: familiar to 'democracies worldwide'.) 

 

In 1950 Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and later in 1967 Prime Minister Levi Eshkol adopted Ben Gurion's statesmanship, fended off severe US and global threats, reunited Jerusalem and established the foundation of satellite Jewish neighborhoods well beyond Jerusalem's "pre-1967 lines." 

 

In 1970-1, Prime Minister Golda Meir resisted heavy pressure, by the White House and the Department of State, refusing to rescind the reunification of Jerusalem and to transfer Jerusalem's Holy Basin to the auspices of the three leading religions (these demands were embraced, in 2010, by former Prime Minister, OlmOert-hence the title of Amb. Ettinger's important tutorial, OY JERUSALEM-'THE HOLY BASIN'

 

2-IMPORTING OUR OWN DESTRUCTION.  At Hungary's newly installed razor sharp fence-border with Serbia, despite the best efforts of CNN, the BBC and other media giants to paint the European migrant crisis as a spontaneous humanitarian crisis fueled by Syria's civil war, evidence continues to mount to the contrary.    About 1,500 migrants broke through the fence and were rioting, chanting "Allahu Akbar!" while throwing rocks and bottles and even food at police.  According to United Nations data, 75 percent of the migrants who have swarmed into Europe this summer have been men, and only 51 percent have been from Syria. There have been multiple reports of caches of Syrian passports being found by police, and the demand for these passports grows from non-Syrians seeking to cash in on Europe's generous welfare offerings.   This is not the way true war refugees act, say those who have seen the horrors of war. (Chorus: Allahu Akbar)

"The media is making this out to be a spontaneous refugee crisis when this is actually a very organized event," said Dr. Mark Christian, an Egyptian-born former Muslim who served in the Egyptian military and is an expert on the Muslim Brotherhood, which his great uncle helped found.

"Everything is building up for things to start moving quickly in the Middle East. The purpose of these migrants is, they are making the West feel the pain," he said.

The goal of the migrant invasion is to put pressure on Europe and the U.S. to enter the Syrian Civil War and take out President Bashar al-Assad and replace him with a Sunni Muslim government, which is the mission of President Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood supporters, Christian said.  This is a continuing part of the 'Arab Spring'." (Chorus: Allahu Akbar)

1>OY JERUSALEM-'THE HOLY BASIN' - SECOND THOUGHT-A US-ISRAEL INITIATIVE
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger,

Israel Hayom

September 4, 2015, 

http://bit.ly/1QdocYE

 

While the Jewish State benefits from the robust Jewish demographic tailwind of fertility and immigration, Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is burdened with a Jewish demographic headwind of emigration, which is eroding the current 66% Jewish majority.

The growing, youthful Jewish emigration from Jerusalem is driven by the scarcity of jobs as well as costly and limited housing. It was triggered - beginning in the 1990s - by Israeli Prime Ministers, who have relegated Jerusalem to a lower national priority, in sharp contrast to preceding Prime Ministers. 

Simultaneously with a litany of "O Jerusalem" boasting statements, they have demonstrated "Oy Jerusalem" feeble action, reflecting limited capability to withstand opposition, by US Presidents, to Jewish construction beyond the pre-1967 armistice line.  Moreover, succumbing to US pressure has yielded more, and rougher, pressure.  Thus, they have constrained the development of Jerusalem's infrastructure of transportation, housing and employment - which constitute a prerequisite for transforming Jewish emigration into robust Jewish immigration - since it requires construction on substantial, state-owned land, available within the largely unpopulated boundaries of reunited Jerusalem, not in the limited parameters of pre-1967 Jerusalem.

The smaller the effective boundary of Jerusalem, the larger is Jewish emigration; the larger the effective boundary, the greater is the potential for Jewish immigration.

Thus, recent Prime Ministers have sacrificed the significant upgrading of Jerusalem's infrastructure of growth on the altar of the supposed peace process with the Palestinian Authority, which seeks to annul Jerusalem's reunification, worships suicide bombers and operates the most effective assembly line for manufacturing terrorists: a K-12 destroy-Israel-education system.

This peace process-driven policy has also led to physical and administrative disengagement from some Arab neighborhoods in reunited Jerusalem, and the construction of walls and fences, separating these neighborhoods from the rest of the city. As a result, parallel to the increasing Jewish emigration from Jerusalem, some 50,000 Arab residents of these neighborhoods - possessing Israeli ID cards - immigrated over the walls and the fences deeper into Jerusalem, lest they lose Israeli social and welfare benefits. Thus, at a time when parity has been reached between Jewish and Arab fertility rates (number of births per woman), this Israeli policy of disengagement has induced Arab immigration into Jerusalem, at a rate twice as high as the rate of Jewish emigration from Jerusalem.

In this regard, contemporary Israeli Prime Ministers have strayed away, dramatically, from their predecessors.  For example, in 1950, in defiance of brutal US and global pressure to internationalize Jerusalem (which is still the policy of the US Department of State!), Prime Minister David Ben Gurion proclaimed Jerusalem the capital of the Jewish State, relocated government agencies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, settled a massive number of Olim (Jewish immigrants to Israel) in Jerusalem, upgraded the transportation infrastructure to Jerusalem, and erected new Jewish neighborhoods along Jerusalem's cease fire lines, providing the city land reserves for long term growth. Ben Gurion's actions spoke louder than the current bravado statements about the "indivisible Jerusalem."

In 1967, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol adopted Ben Gurion's statesmanship, fended off severe US and global threats, reunited Jerusalem and established the foundation of satellite Jewish neighborhoods well beyond Jerusalem's "pre-1967 lines." 

In 1970-1, Prime Minister Golda Meir resisted heavy pressure, by the White House and the Department of State, refusing to rescind the reunification of Jerusalem and to transfer Jerusalem's Holy Basin to the auspices of the three leading religions (these demands were embraced, in 2010, by former Prime Minister, Olmert). Defiantly, Golda Meir laid the groundwork for additional neighborhoods beyond the "pre-'67 lines": Gilo, Ramot Alon, French Hill and Neve' Ya'akov, significantly expanding Jerusalem's infrastructure of growth.

Prime Ministers Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir sustained the position of Jerusalem at the top of Israel's national priorities, reinforcing - through construction and growth - the historical, national and religious status of reunified Jerusalem as the exclusive, non-negotiable capital of the Jewish State.

In order to dramatically expand Jerusalem's 66% Jewish majority, and retain the graduates of the Hebrew University (Israel's largest university), while improving the quality of life for Jews and Arabs, Israel should embark upon a fast-track, dramatic enhancement of Jerusalem's transportation infrastructure, which would pave the road for a flow of Israeli and international entrepreneurs and investors.  For example, the largest Israeli city (2.5 times larger and more populated than Tel Aviv!) needs an airport, located in the ample, unpopulated area in eastern Jerusalem, which would be a most effective engine of growth. The only two freeways to Jerusalem from the coastal plain (#1 and #443 which stretches along the Land of the Maccabees beyond the 1967 lines) must be expanded, and a third one (#45 which was shelved by Prime Minister Sharon) should be constructed, for commercial, safety and national security reasons. The internal Begin Road should evolve into the Jerusalem Loop, which would be a game-changer for commerce and quality of life.  A similar surge should apply to the infrastructure for high tech, telecommunications, electricity, water, education and housing.

Will Israeli Prime Ministers embark upon an "O Jerusalem" policy - initiated 3,000 years ago by King David - which would drastically enhance Jerusalem's quality of life and expand its Jewish majority?  Or, will they sustain the "Oy Jerusalem" policy, which could doom Jerusalem to a Jewish minority?

2>IMPORTING OUR OWN DESTRUCTION

Dr Mark Christian, founder of Global Faith Institute

 

An Egyptian by birth and an obstetrician/gynecologist by profession, Dr. Mark Christian - destined to become a Sunni religious leader - diverted destiny, ditched Islam, and eventually became devoted to the Christian faith. Galvanized to dismantle the Sunni Islamic political agenda and Initiate real Islamic reform, Dr. Christian unpredictably put his ob/gyn career on hold in order to establish the Global Faith Institute, a Christian platform dedicated to the proclamation and pursuit of truth, particularly as it relates Middle Eastern history and current happenings to the rapidly unfolding events in the United States and around the world.  Coming to America in 2005, Dr. Christian conducted ob/gyn research at University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he initially developed an increasing awareness of the shocking degree of Islamic infiltration and their prolific agenda in the United States.  Recognizing the urgency of this grim threat to cherished American freedoms, Dr. Christian responded through his formation and leadership of Global Faith Institute.

"In Islam, the people are the weapons."

- 1993 World Trade Center bombing co-conspirator Mahmud Abouhalima -

The cycle of violence is fed not by injustice or fresh new assaults on sovereignty, but rather pre-exists in the heart of the Muslim world, fueled by their fundamental organizing principle of Islam.

There are no places on earth where a significant population of Muslims are present that does not also live with violence and disruption with regularity.  This applies to both Muslim enclaves in Western democracies and to Muslim-dominated nations around the world.  Where Islam is, violence soon follows.

It is this "supremacist" aspect of Islam (note: aspect of Islam, not perversion, or interpretation of Islam) that ensures the renewal of violence even after defeat or victory.  It is the battle that is the aim, the jihad that cannot rest until the earth has submitted entirely to Islam.

Are all Muslims like this?  No, just as all Catholics don't abstain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent; there is a continuum of adherence to the principles of religions that is found in Islam as it is in Christianity and Judaism.  However, there are core elements that are universally accepted in each religion, commonly shared tenets of each faith that are ubiquitous to the faith.

In Christianity, one such tenet is the concept that Jesus is the Son of God.  For Muslims, the principle of subjugating the rest of the world to Islam is equally ubiquitous, and it is this supremacist dictum that lies at the root of why violence follows Islam as night follows day.

What does this mean for the United States?  The Obama administration is pledging to accept tens of thousands of "refugees" from Syria and Iraq.  The United States has already accepted hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants from around the world, and to date, their assimilation into American society is proceeding at a snail's pace, if at all.

Warnings have been issued by European governments that terrorists (elements of ISIS and al-Qaeda) have inserted themselves into the stream of Muslim migrants currently invading Europe.  This warning, while important, misses the larger issue entirely; that being the importation (enmasse) of an ideology bent on the destruction of the host nation.  Islam doesn't arrive to "blend in."  It arrives to take over.

By some estimates, the composition of the "refugee" arrivals is upwards of 70% males of military age.  Clearly, war refugees flee their countries with both wives and children, while migrants traveling for economic opportunity typically send a father or son ahead to prepare the way for the rest of the family to follow.

There are certainly some war refugees amid the masses currently flooding Europe, but they are just as certainly a minority of the whole, and the likelihood that these Muslim men, coming from Muslim-dominated nations intend to culturally assimilate into the societies of Europe is statistically nil.

Over the coming months, America will be asked (then told!) to accept "our share" of "refugees."  Incomprehensibly, these "refugees" will be almost entirely Muslim, despite the fact that it is the Christian and other non-Muslims of the region who are truly in danger, with tens of thousands already slaughtered and enslaved as a part of the Islamic subjugation.

It has been said that just because a group of Sunni Muslims is fleeing extermination from a group of Shia Muslims - or vice-versa - doesn't mean that either is innocent in the conflict.  Should the pursued become more numerous than the pursuers, they will immediately turn and put their former tormenters to the sword.  Both flee from each other, but neither is really a "refugee."

If you are a regular follower of the Global Faith Institute, then you understand "civilizational jihad," the process by which Muslims seek to overwhelm host nations through immigration and the exploitation of western values of religious tolerance and liberty.

We screen new arrivals at the border for diseases because we don't want to permit the importation of infections for which we have little or no natural immunity.  In the case of Islam, we are indeed importing the infection itself, subsequently refusing to quarantine the carriers from the native population out of a misguided sense of tolerance.

Germany has committed to accepting millions of Islamic "refugees" over the next 10 years - 800,000 this year alone, followed by half-a-million more each year thereafter - in the hopes that the infusion of new laborers can offset the ridiculously anemic birth rate of native Germans.  Combine migration at such extreme levels with a government so enamored of multiculturalism that they will prosecute their own citizens for speaking against the policy, and you have the stuff of an invasion.

Under what circumstances has any nation permitted an influx of a different culture at such extreme levels and remained sovereign?  I'll give you a hint. it hasn't ever happened. Ever.

Unless Germany reverses course, they will become a Muslim nation within 15 years and native Germans will live under the rule of their new Muslim overlords, dhimmis in their own land.

Remember, someone asking for political asylum is not guaranteed to be deserving.  Each of the perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing were asylum seekers when they arrived on our shores.  How'd that work out?

3>STANDING TO CHALLENGE THE IRAN DEAL - CONGRESS AND THE STATES

Eugene Kontorovich 

The Lawfare Project / Washington Post Sept 10, 2015 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/09/10/standing-to-challenge-the-iran-deal-congress-and-the-states/

http://www.thelawfareproject.org/Search.html?ordering=&searchphrase=all&searchword=Eugene+Kontorovich

Eugene Kontorovich is a professor at Northwestern University School of Law, and an expert on constitutional and international law. He also writes and lectures frequently about the Arab-Israel conflict. 

Many observers have assumed that despite the deep legal infirmities in the White House's Iran deal, there is no way to secure judicial review of it. In fact, there are at least two paths to invalidating any sanctions relief implemented by the president - a lawsuit by a House of Congress, or action involving state sanctions laws. 

Congress's standing
Yesterday a D.C. Federal district court issued a landmark ruling in House of Representatives v. Burwell, upholding the House of Representatives standing to challenge Executive action under the Affordable Care Act. The question of institutional legislative standing is a fairly novel one, and thus this is an important decision.

Whether it survives on appeal, the decision creates a major and previously unanticipated opening for a congressional lawsuit challenging the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The constitutional argument would focus on the non-transmission of documents required under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 (the Corker-Cardin deal), which would seem to satisfy the standing test established by the district court. 

Corker-Cardin makes clear that sanctions relief under preexisting statutory authority can only come after a positive vote, or no vote, or an overridden disapproval vote, during the "period of review." Since the period of review has not started, sanctions relief would be unlawful. Congress suffers an injury by the president's failure to begin "period of review." Thus Congress can take no binding action with regard to the JCPA. This undermines Congress's Article I ability to regulate foreign commerce, and indeed its ability to function as a legislature. 

By not transmitting the relevant materials, the president is preventing Congress from exercising its legislative authority. That argument - whether ultimately successful or not - may state a sufficient injury under House of Representatives v. Burwell.

The President, of course, has broad, but not infinite discretion in the enforcement of federal law. Burwell found a related challenge to presidential enforcement action to be non-justiciable. But President Obama does not plan on merely not enforcing sanctions. Rather, he will purport to formally suspend them - a binding legal action. (One difference is that mere non-enforcement could be reversed by a subsequent president, who could enforce sanctions law against those who violated them even under Obama.)

Even if Congress proceeds to a vote, it will have no legal effect, because the "period of review" would not have started, and the statute only authorizes sanctions relief during or after the "period or review." Congress cannot rewrite the "period of review" definition in Corker-Cardin simply by staging a vote.

However, to best preserve its ability to take advantage of yesterday's standing ruling, Congress should insist on not voting on anything labelled a "resolution of disapproval." Indeed, Congress cannot competently act on a resolution of disapproval, both because such a resolution lacks any legal force until the period of review commences, and because they have been denied the relevant information necessary to fulfill their constitutional role.

When it seemed Congress had no judicial recourse, voting on a purported disapproval resolution may not have seemed as costly; now there is a real downside. If, however, Congress votes on a resolution of approval, or other resolution outside the Corker-Cardin framework, it will not affect their ability to invoke the latter.

State sanctions and standing
There is another avenue for standing to challenge the implementation of the Iran deal - indeed, dozens of avenues. Assume the President proceeds, purporting to have satisfied Corker-Cardin, to waive and suspend sanctions under preexisting authorities. But since Congress's vote was not within the "period of review," which had not started, the entire exercise will be with no legal effect. Corker-Cardin's freezing of the president's sanctions suspension authority will still be in effect. Indeed, it will be in effect indefinitely.

Many states have their own Iran sanctions' laws, and many are are moving to implement or strengthen such. Many of the state sanctions regimes provide that they terminate if federal sanctions are suspended. Such a state may well be sued by those subject to the state sanctions, arguing that the state sanctions are preempted by federal law, on the view that federal sanctions have been suspended or waived. The plaintiffs in such a case would certainly have standing. But as a defense to such a suit, the state could then argue that in fact the federal sanctions have not been waived or suspended, under the terms of Corker-Cardin.

Such an argument would be eminently justiciable, as standing generally applies to plaintiff's claims, not to defenses. It is not unheard for the legality of something to be non-justiciable in a direct challenge, but reviewable in an enforcement action. To put if differently, state law can't be preempted by an invalid federal action.

Indeed, a state Attorney General wishing to promptly challenge the President's actions can easily do so by finding a company to enforce state sanctions laws against. This would also allow the process to take place in state court.

Either an enforcement action by a state or an anticipatory suit by businesses against state sanctions would give the state the opportunity to raise the legal challenges about Corker-Cardin. And if a court indeed ruled in such a case that Corker-Cardin had not been complied with, that proposition of law would be true even outside the context of the state sanctions litigation.

In other words, the validity of any presidential sanctions against Iran will remain in doubt for quite a while. Any court ruling that Corker-Cardin was not complied with would potentially expose any companies that relied on sanctions "suspension" to enforcement actions under a subsequent president.

Finally, there may be still other routes to standing - for example, for people with claims against Iranian assets that will be released under the deal.

Fwd: Please join Unity Rabbi's Rally on Sun., 9/20, Reasons Why Our Rabbanim may not participate. Please reconsider! 12 PM at US Mission to UN (E. 45 St. Btw. 1st and 2nd Ave.)


bs"d

In Shacharis, morning prayer service, following the portion of the Akeidah, which is also the Torah Reading of the 2nd day of Rosh Hashana, we say:

"לעולם יהא אדם ירא שמים בסתר ובגלוי ומודה על האמת ודובר אמת בלבבו" 
 https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9C%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%9D_%D7%99%D7%94%D7%90_%D7%90%D7%93%D7%9D (Hebrew)
Always should a person be fearing of Heaven privately and publicly, acknowledging the truth, speaking the truth within his heart...

Please have this passage in mind when reading the rest of this post...

Those who are organizing this rally recognize that the Iran deal of the Obama Administration, empowers evil with billions of dollars, probably with nuclear and other WMD capability, potentially bringing catastrophic repercussions to civilized society of the likes we have not seen since WWII.  This is the world we are bequeathing our children.  We will owe them an explanation when we are judged in a heavenly court as per why we were silent and allowed evil to prevail while it was still possible to stop it from happening. Why did we simply give up before the final judgement call????...

Many Rabbanim and main stream Rabbinic based organizations have still yet to mobilize Am Yisroel to massive gatherings and Tefilla as did Mordechai facing the threat of Haman. "Lech Knos es Kol Hayehudim" Queen Esther's cry to Mordechai to gather all the Jews for prayer to change the evil decrees... 

Why the hesitation to join this rally and/or to mobilize hundreds of thousands of Jews under their counsel and their guidance?

The Religious Jew:

For two thousand years, religious Jews have been exiled and don't see themselves as universal leaders in the world.  They aspirations and heartfelt prayers are to remain holy in an unholy world, to keep G-d's commandments in peace with no one disturbing them. 

Sometimes In the process they are in a position of leadership and too often they and their organizations accept monies from peoples and governments to help achieve their much needed goals of educating and providing for their communities.   Since often much of these monies, do not come from holy sources, it blinds them and they don't see that they are working against their own goals....In addition, it greatly weakens their resolve to fight evil when they are being nourished from such monies....

In order to prevent assimilation and alien cultures into Judaism, a large segment of the Jewish population have put all their emphasis on remaining holy and keeping out any alien cultures that might cause Jews to stray from G-d. To their credit, this in fact has done much to sustain the Jewish People's identity and has kept them separate and unique. 

The Orthodox Jew prays to be a Holy Nation and for G-d to be the King of the Universe.


The Secular Jew: 

The secular Jew sees the role of the Jew as being a light unto the Nations and as being a world leader to bring G-dliness into this world. Tikkun Olam is their mantra.  They will lead in the fields of science and technology and to fight addictions etc. 

Yet sometimes they are lax with observing Torah commandments  which then often works against accomplishing their goals and they might lead the fight for unholy goals such as  Planned Parenthood or to support the Iran deal etc. .... They too often are in positions of leadership acquiring monies that nourish their souls from unholy sources... 

The Conservative Jews will emphasize the second half of Aleinu out loud when they pray.  

The secular Jew will pray for Tikkun Olam where the entire world recognizes the Greatness of the Almighty and all evil is destroyed in the world.  


The main theme of Rosh Hashana:  Coronation of G-d our King over the entire Universe.  A Universal Message!  The entire world is in Judgement not only Israel.

The time has come for all Jews to Unite.  We all are members of G-d's Chosen people to do justice and kindness and keep the Commandments and who among us can claim to be free of Sin? We are all human by nature.  

One lofty ideal must not override another lofty ideal.  

The actualization of the Nation of Israel is to be a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation where all the Nations of the world will stream to Jerusalem to Zion, acknowledge the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, bringing gifts and praising the L-rd as was typically done on Sukkot, the feast of Tabernacles.

Please come en masse to the Rally united with all of Israel and those who support Israel,  this Sunday September 20th, a few days before Yom Kippur and beg G-d to destroy all evil decrees, in front of the United Nations not far from the Isaiah Wall, whose prophesy encompasses the aspirations and dreams of humanity and Universal Morality now under attack by Iran and Radical Islam.... May G-d hear our prayers and grant us LIFE!!!

In memory of Alexander Levlovitz, a 64-year-old Israeli man who was murdered by Palestinian 
terrorists in Jerusalem on Sunday, September 13, 2015 as he was coming home from a Rosh Hashanah dinner. 

Dear Friends of Israel and the Jewish People,

Today we learned that Iran is helping Hamas and Hezbollah build a fleet of suicide drones, thereby fulfilling Iran's Brigadier General Mohammed Reza Naqdi's promise to "step up efforts" that will lead to "Israel's annihilation."   (Recall that it was during the last war with Israel that Hamas succeeded in  flying its first drone supplied by Iran into Israeli airspace.)   The same General Naqdi said as the nuclear talks were reaching a conclusion that "wiping Israel off the map is not up for negotiation" and boasted publicly that Iran supplied much of Hamas's arsenal, training, and technical expertise during the most recent war with Israel (Iran's Fars News Agency cited by Algemeiner, 4/13/15).



We also learned tonight that a vote on the agreement with Iran was thwarted a second time last night by 42 Democrats who put their loyalty to Barack Obama before their loyalty to their constituents and their commitment to our national security. 

ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 AT 12 NOON, THERE WILL BE A RALLY IN OPPOSITION TO THE DISASTROUS AGREEMENT WITH IRAN AT THE UNITED STATES MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS, EAST 45TH STREET BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND AVENUES IN MANHATTAN.    Organized by Rabbi Avi Weiss, Spiritual Leader of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale and founder of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and Rabbi Bruce Ginsburg, Spiritual Leader of Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere and past president of the Long Island Board of Rabbis and the Union for Traditional Judaism, the rally will be led by rabbis from the tri-state area representing Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform congregations.  Among them will be: 

  • Rabbi Rick Block, immediate past international President of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and spiritual leader of Temple Tifereth Israel in Beachwood, Ohio
  • Rabbi Perry Raphael Rank, past international President of the Rabbinical Assembly and spiritual leader of the Midway Jewish Center in Syosset, N.Y.
  • Rabbi Charles Klein, past president of the New York Board of Rabbis and spiritual leader of the Merrick Jewish Center in Merrick, N.Y.
  • Rabbi Elliot Skiddell, current president of the Long Island Board of Rabbis and spiritual leader of the Reconstructionist Congregation Beth Emeth in Rockville Centre, N.Y.
  • Rabbi Art Vernon, current president of the Queens/Nassau/Suffolk Region of the Rabbinical Assembly and spiritual leader of the West Hempstead J.C.C. in West Hempstead, N.Y.
  • Rabbi Allen Schwartz, spiritual leader of Congregation Oheb Zedek (OZ) in Manhattan

College students are being encouraged to participate in this rally  and connect with Cindy Grosz of the Stop Iran Now College Activism effort (stopirannowcollegecampus@gmail.com) in anticipation of a rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel activism on campuses in the wake of the negotiations with Iran. 
 
At this time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when we pray for the aversion of a severe decree for the Jewish People, we are so grateful to Rabbi Weiss and Rabbi Ginsburg for giving voice to the unprecedented unity among the Jewish People against this agreement that would lift the U.N. arms embargo against Iran and release $50 billion in cash and $100 billion in contracts.
