QUEBEC CRACKDOWN: Licenses Revoked For Three Belz Educational Institutions In Montreal
What kind of headline is this??
“Crackdown” should be replaced by “Religious Antisemetic Abuse”!!
Its time to “relocate to Eretz Yisrael”
The Quebec government has revoked the operating licenses of three Belz educational institutions in Montreal: a kindergarten, Talmud Torah, and yeshiva ketana, serving approximately 600 students, shortly before the start of Elul zman.
Authorities said the decision followed a series of educational and safety deficiencies identified during inspections. Among the issues cited were a shortage of qualified teachers who speak English or French, failure to meet required instructional hours in mandatory subjects, use of unapproved educational materials and deficiencies involving emergency exits.
Surprise inspections also reportedly found students spending school hours in areas used for davening, classrooms without teachers and staff members who spoke neither French nor English. The girls’ educational institutions are continuing to operate normally but remain under supervision.
The institutions reject the allegations and have sought an injunction from Quebec’s administrative court, arguing that the decision was based on “incorrect factual assumptions, inconsistent analysis and a disproportionate measure.”

Rav Naphtali Tzvi Yehudah Berlin, the “Netziv of Volozhin”
Rav Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin of Volozhin zt"l
הרב נפתלי צבי יהודה בן יעקב ברלין זצ"ל
Av 1 , 5653 / Av 28 , 5653
Known As: the Netziv
Father's Name: Yaakov Berlin
He published the following seforim:
Emek She’elah on the Sheiltos,
Emek Natziv on Sifri
Meromei Sadeh on Shas
Halachic Responsa as, Shut Mayshiv Davar,
and HaEmek Davar, and Harchev Davar on the Torah, for an excellent series on the Natziv's HaAmek Davar in English visit Torah .org here
Maytav Shir on Shir HaShirim.
In תרמ''ו, a fire broke out and destroyed the Etz Chaim Yeshivah, but the Netziv rebuilt and reopened it. Then, in תרל''ט , the secular authorities closed the yeshivah over the issue of secular studies but he ardently fought against the the wicked maskilim and Volozhin reopened again in תרמ''א.
The Netziv passed away at age 78 in Warsaw on Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av תרנ''ג. Today the Yeshivastill stands in Ulitsa Kirova, Vałožyn, Belarus and serves as a shul to those who come to Europe and make the circuit to daven at kivrei tzadikim.
(Others say 28 Av)
His son was Rav Chaim Berlin Av Beis Din Kobrin.
His sons- in- law were; Rav Raphael Shapira Av Beis Din Babroisk and Rav Chaim Soloveitchik Av Beis Din Brisk.
The Netziv was Rosh Yeshiva of the famed Volozhin Yeshiva for almost 40 Years until it was closed by the Russian government in 1892. Founded by R'Chaim of Volozhin, the Yeshivah flourished, increasing from 100 to 400 students.
As a young man the Netziv was undistinguished, but by virtue of his extraordinary diligence grew to become one of the greatest scholars and leaders of his time. The prevalent method of Talmudic study was that of deep analysis of the "sugya" (topic) at hand. The Netziv’s approach was to immerse himself in all the relevant passages from the entire Tannaitic literature, always striving to go back to the earliest sources. Similarly, he paid special attention to the Gaonic literature and the earliest Rishonim, who were closer to the Talmudic period. He believed only in this manner could the text being studied be properly understood. His approach was strongly encouraged by R. Dovid Luria.
The Netziv emphasized study of Chumash and Nach and gave a shiur on the weekly parsha every day after morning prayers. He was an early supporter of the Hovevei Zion movement and strongly supported the resettling of Eretz Yisrael. However, he was opposed to the selling of the Land for the Shemittah year. Contrary to the view of Rav Hirsch he opposed separate communities.
During the Netziv’s time in Volozhin the Yeshiva produced great scholars, including R. Issur Zalman Meltzer, The Dvar Avrohom, Rabbi A. Shapiro, R. Avrohom Y. Kook, R. Moshe M. Epstein and R. Zelig R. Benges.
The Netziv’s works include his famed commentary on the Sheiltos of Rabbi Achai, his Commentary on the Song of Songs and Meishiv Davar, a collection of his Responsa.
The Maskilim could not bear the success of the Yeshiva and constantly sought its demise. Their continuous barbs were noted by the government who demanded that the Yeshiva curriculum and hours of study be completely revamped. It is often said that the Yeshiva was closed because of the Netziv’srefusal to permit secular subjects to be studied. The fact is that the government’s demand were such that if adopted the Yeshiva would have totally lost its character. For example, one of the demands was that secular subjects be studied until 3:00 PM and that night study cease.
Left with no choice the Netziv felt compelled to close the Yeshiva. His entire existence was linked to the Yeshiva and after its closing his health began to decline. He passed away less than two years after the closing. His two sons were Rabbi Chaim Berlin and Rabbi Meir Bar-Ilan.

Fascinating Scenes Under The Temple Mount
The Bedrock, the Creation Stone [parve all the way thru until the very end]
🚨 Start Preparing - At Any Moment Everything Is Going To Unfold…
What if the Final Redemption isn’t supposed to happen in one sudden, magical moment?
In Isaiah 51–52, the prophet describes a redemption that unfolds before the eyes of the world, as the Jewish people awaken, leave exile, and return to Zion.
In this video, we explore the Malbim’s remarkable explanation of these prophecies and what they may mean for the time we are living through right now.
Stop waiting. Start paying attention. The redemption may already be unfolding.
🚨 The Prophets Were Talking About RIGHT NOW!
The prophets weren’t only speaking about the distant future. They were speaking about a time we may be living through right now.
Eli Wallbrun joins me to discuss why so many Jews have stopped learning Navi, what we’re missing because of it, and how rediscovering the prophets can completely change the way we see Israel and the unfolding redemption.

The complete and official historic broadcast (2 hours) of the Grand "Elders" Panel at the Yeshiva Students Conference (Veidat Bnei HaYeshivot).
In this monumental gathering, the leading elderly sages and Torah giants of our generation address the most burning questions of our time—such as the ongoing draft decrees, spiritual survival, and character development—while sharing exclusive personal stories and guidelines from the previous giants of Torah (Rabbi Shach, the Steipler, and Rabbi Elyashiv).
A beautiful displaying of the honor of Torah was observed, as the elder sages sat on stage while the prominent Yeshiva heads sat humbly on the floor alongside thousands of yeshiva students to listen.
Featuring:
Rabbi Tzvi Drabkin Shlit"a (Rosh Yeshivat Grodna)
Rabbi Yitzchok Ezrachi Shlit"a (Yeshivat Mir)

August 12 Total Eclipse for......
The Biggest Skygazing Day of the Century Is Almost Here
https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2026/05/Total_solar_eclipse_12_August_2026_Global_map
On 12 August 2026, a total solar eclipse will be visible from eastern Greenland, western Iceland, the northern half of Spain and the northeast corner of Portugal. During ‘totality’, the Moon completely covers the Sun, leaving viewers in daytime darkness and revealing the Sun's faintly glowing corona (outer atmosphere). Most of the rest of Europe, northern North America and western Africa will witness a partial solar eclipse.
This map shows where a total (red) and the partial (orange) eclipse will be visible across Earth’s northern hemisphere. The eclipse will follow the red band of totality counterclockwise from the top to the bottom. Interestingly, this eclipse starts around midnight in the Arctic, made possible thanks to midnight Sun, and traces out a path that initially moves west-to-east (‘back in time’) before moving in the usual east-to-west direction. Click here to see a map of totality in Spain.
The European Space Agency (ESA) obtained these maps from the Spanish National Geographic Institute, based on calculations from the Spanish Astronomical Observatory.
This eclipse will be followed by two more ‘European solar eclipses’. On 2 August 2027, a total solar eclipse is visible from Spain, northern Africa and the Middle East. And on 26 January 2028, an annular eclipse can be seen from South America, Portugal and Spain. Other parts of Europe will witness a partial eclipse on these dates.
For more information on ESA’s activities for these eclipses, please visit www.esa.int/solareclipse.
Remember: never look directly at the Sun, even when partially eclipsed, without proper eye protection such as special solar eclipse glasses, or you risk permanent eye damage.
[Image description: Map of Earth shown as a globe, with the focus on its northern hemisphere. A red, C-shaped arc marked 'total eclipse' reaches from northeast Russia, past the North Pole, Greenland, Iceland and the Iberian Peninsula. An orange oval surrounds this arc, marked 'partial eclipse', covering most of Europe, Canada and parts of the USA, the western edge of Africa and the northeastern corner of Russia.]
