R' Baruch Chait, Son Eliyahu & Talmidim of Ma’arava
The veteran composer, Rabbi Baruch Chait, in a new song he composed, he performs with his son Eliyahu and the Yeshiva Ma’arava Machon Rubin choir he heads. Musical arrangement and production: Gershon Freishtadt
Kel Maleh - Benzion Klatzko - Music Video
Composed and Performed by Rabbi Benzion Klatzko
Choir - Pinny Schachter
Music Arranged by Yisroel Ament
Song and Video Produced and Edited by Benzion Klatzko
Filmed at Kumzitz Anywhere Studios by Shlomo Mehlman
Video Violinist - Azarya Klatzko

The Kel Maleh Rachamim is a remembrance prayer for the soul of the departed that is recited by a cantor at a Jewish funeral. Additionally, the prayer is recited during the walk up the grave of an individual who has passed away, on days of remembrance for the deceased, and various other occasions or days during which the deceased is mourned, such as his or her death anniversary. For the first time, this holy prayer is composed to a "musical song" rather than a Chazan's (cantor's) chant, with the hope of bringing a sense of majesty and comfort to the memory of those dearly departed.
The striking images in this video of our Jewish brothers and sisters from Poland, photographed in their original color, were shot within three years of the Holocaust. Notice how our ancestors are looking straight ahead at us, as if to say, "Although we are gone, make us proud and live vibrant Jewish lives!" Like a dream, their memories fade in and out, reminding us that a time will come when we will be the past and our grandchildren, our future and legacy. Let us be the best role models we can be!

Police Use Water Cannon on Protesters Blocking Roads
Police used turned water cannons on hundreds of ultra-Orthodox protesters who were blocking roads in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
Officers could be seen dragging the demonstrators physically out of the street as they attempted to block the path of the water cannon with their bodies.
The demonstrators, who were blocking traffic at the Sarei Yisrael-Jaffa junction in the west of the city, were rallying over the arrest of an ultra-Orthodox yeshiva student who refused to appear at a military recruitment post.
Mounted police were also deployed to clear the demonstrators from the area, while the commander of the Israeli army's ground forces, Major General Yoel Strick, was also surrounded by protesters while driving through the area in his car and had to be rescued by police, according to local media.
Military service in Israel is compulsory for all men and women who are 18 years old, with a long-running exemption for the ultra-Orthodox being scrapped in 2014, while Israel's high court has repeatedly thrown out other draft exemption laws.

Rare Footage: Camp Mesivta Circa 1942
This footage is seeing the light of day after nearly 80 years.
From the uploader: The original 8mm film was shot primarily by my grandfather Harry Haber. He was born in Pomorzany, Galicia, Austria on May 7, 1895, and immigrated to U.S. arriving in New York on February 1, 1910 aboard the S.S. Amerika. The ship manifest lists his last place of residence as Kadworna, Austria. His arrival in the U.S. was two years after his father's immigration to the U.S., and proceeded by one year his mother's and 5 siblings' immigration. (His parents had four more children once in the U.S.)
The film was stored in a box with other slides and family photos. Originally stored in Washington D.C. and Maryland until approximately 2000, at which time the box was stored in a garage in Florida until it was discovered in late 2020.
Once digitized by DigMyPics.com, I was only able to identify my father, David Haber in the film. Only moments after posting a shorter version of the film to Facebook (to the group "Tracing the Tribe - Jewish Genealogy") I received a a message which led to a conversation with a gentleman who identified the location as Camp Mesivta in Upstate New York. This was the summer camp for boys of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas in Brooklyn, NY.
The rabbi walking towards the camera on the path with other people at 4:14 in the video has been identified as Rabbi Hisroel Chaim Kaplan. The rabbi with the red-ish beard at 4:30 is Rabbi Shlomo Heiman, at 6:22 is Reb Shraga Feivel Mendelowitz.

Volunteers Dig Through Heaps of Trash to Rescue Tefillin
Volunteers spent hours raking through the contents of a New York City garbage truck to rescue a pair of tefillin that was accidentally thrown out.
A Rebbi in a Satmar cheder in Williamsburg lost his tefillin, and a review of the security cameras showed a janitor mistakenly threw the tefillin bag into the garbage. UJO of Williamsburg immediately contacted the Sanitation Department’s Brooklyn North Chief Jarrit Scotti, who isolated the truck’s contents from the other trash.
Local Jewish news site Crownheights.info reported that a group of men, lead by Yitzchok Neuwirth, donned sanitation suits, boots, gloves and masks and gathered in Varick Avenue Sanitation Transfer Station.
After sifting through the garbage for hours with the oversight of Sanitation Department workers, the tefillin were found, safe inside a plastic bag, and the volunteers cheered.
After discarding their cumbersome sanitation uniforms, they gathered in a circle and sang and danced to celebrate.
