Philly Man Arrested Held on Nazi Death Camp Charges

An 89-year-old Philadelphia man has been ordered held without bail on a German arrest warrant charging him with aiding and abetting the killing of 216,000 Jewish men, women and children while he was a guard at the Auschwitz death camp.

The man, retired toolmaker Johann "Hans" Breyer, was taken into custody by U.S. authorities Tuesday. His attorney argued in court Wednesday that his client is too frail to be detained, but prosecutors say the detention center is equipped care for him.

Breyer has admitted he was an Auschwitz guard during World War II but has said he was stationed outside and had nothing to do with the slaughter of about 1.5 million Jews and others there.

The German investigation comes after years of failed U.S. efforts to have Breyer stripped of his American citizenship and deported.

Women Hatzalah Service 'Ezras Nashim' Serve Brooklyn

Women helping women in Brooklyn: an all-female crew of Orthodox Jewish emergency medical technicians  hit the streets this week to provide a much-needed service in the community.

Rachel Freier says it was a struggle, but the all-women's Orthodox EMT corps is now a reality. Ezras Nashim EMT Service will cover Borough Park, Brooklyn. The idea was to serve Chasidic women who are uncomfortable with Chasidic male EMTs when they're in a physically vulnerable position such as child birth.

All of the women are certified EMTs as well as having other certifications. Member Melanie Kail is even a volunteer firefighter in Woodmere, Long Island.

The organization also has what they call a fly car. Some women don't have cars so if you're the EMT who is on call you get a car equipped with an air horn and lights. The EMT can drive to the emergency to meet up with a private ambulance company that Ezras Nashim has a contract with to transport patients.

So far, this all-female Orthodox EMT corps has about 40 medics. It hopes to expand to other towns, cities, and even Israel.

New Song "Shomer Yisroel" for Abducted Boys (Audio)

Last week, Israeli child prodigy Uziya Tzadok along with his producer David Fadida, were guests at the home of Reb Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, while on tour to the city of Los Angeles. When the bitter and tragic news arrived regarding the abduction of three boys from Gush Etzion - Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar, and Eyal Yifrach - Rechnitz took to the piano and with tears composed and emotional tune to the Posuk of  "שומר ישראל, שמור שארית ישראל ואל יאבד ישראל, האומרים שמע ישראל". A song of prayer and hope, asking Hashem to spare us from all evil and to say 'enough' to our troubles.

Rechnitz: "At such a moment of crisis, I turned, for a moment, from all my work and I went to compose a song that will unite all the people of Israel, that will be a bridge to the heart of each and every one of us and strengthen the families in this time of distress. May the song soon turn into a song of thanksgiving when we will hear the good news of their safe return home. In my opinion there is no one more appropriate to sing this song other than Uziya Tzadok. He is also part of the "Dati Le'umi" community, and just like the kidnap victims, lives in the Shomron. "

Wonder-child Uziya Tzadok (pictured left), who is known for his unique and sweet voice stepped forward to record this moving song, with the musical arraignments written by the duo Eli Klein and Yitzy Berry.

Reb Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, one of the greatest tycoons in the Jewish community, is known for his philanthropy. He has donated millions of dollars every year to Israel, as well as to institutions and charities of all faiths throughout the world.

Latest On Search For Israeli Teens

Israeli soldiers arrested more than 40 Palestinians in an overnight raid Tuesday, while the government imposed new punishments on Hamas prisoners as the search continues for three missing Israeli teens whom Israel believes Hamas operatives abducted in the West Bank.

Tuesday’s arrests brought the total number of Palestinians detained since the teens disappeared Thursday to more than 200, most of them Hamas activists, the biggest West Bank crackdown on the militant group in almost a decade.

Israel has vowed to exact a heavy price from Hamas, saying the aim of the military operation goes beyond searching for the boys.  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his Security Cabinet, a group of senior government ministers, to discuss the crisis. During the three-hour meeting, the ministers agreed to worsen the conditions of Hamas prisoners Israel is holding,

The parents of kidnapped teenagers Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Sha'ar, and Eyal Yifrah made a joint statement to the press Tuesday, after the first meeting of the three families since the boys were abducted Thursday night by Hamas terrorists.

''We met today for the first time, the Yifrahs - Eyal's parents, the Sha'ars - Gilad's parents and the Frenkels - Naftali's parents," the families said, in a joint statement. "The meeting was very significant and important for us, we have met good people here and we are confident in the strength of the Creator of the Universe [to bring the boys home]."

''We want to give our support for the security forces, who are working day and night to find the boys, the decision-makers, and the Prime Minister, who has been in constant contact with us," they continued. "We pray that our soldiers will be safe and bring home our boys unharmed, and we are grateful to all those involved in this tremendous effort."

''We feel a huge hug from the people of Israel, who accompanies us every hour - this strengthens us very much," they concluded. "Please keep praying and doing good deeds."

The song starts with the Pesukim:
 "( על-משכבי, בלילות, ביקשתי, את שאהבה נפשי; ביקשתיו, ולא מצאתיו.  אקומה נא ואסובבה בעיר, (בשווקים וברחובות- -אבקשה, את שאהבה נפשי;
 (ביקשתיו, ולא מצאתיו)

"On my bed at night, I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him but I did not find him. I will arise now and go about the city, in the market places and in the city squares. I will seek him whom my soul loves... (Shir Hashirim 3:1-2)"

The song continues with:
"יד יונתי בחגווי הסלע, בסתר המדרגה, הראיני את-מראייך, השמיעיני את-קולך:  כי-קולך ערב, ומראך נאו"
"My dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the coverture of the steps, show me your appearance, let me hear your voice, for your voice is pleasant and your appearance is comely (Shir Hashirim 2:14)"

PM Netanyahu's Statement Regarding Kidnapped Teens

Israel’s prime minister has accused the Palestinian militant group Hamas of kidnapping three Israeli teenagers who disappeared in the West Bank over the weekend.

Benjamin Netanyahu made the announcement after Israel rounded up 80 Palestinian suspects, including dozens of Hamas members, in an overnight sweep.

Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday that “the ones that conducted the kidnapping of our teenagers are Hamas members.” Hamas has not claimed responsibility, and Netanyahu did not say how Israel determined who was behind the incident. Netanyahu has said he holds Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who recently formed a government backed by Hamas, responsible for the teenagers’ safety. The teenagers have not been heard from since they disappeared late Thursday night.
