7:58 PMDETAILS: Historic meeting between prominent Rabbonim and President Trump: • The highly anticipated and historic meeting between leading Rabbonim and White House officials took place Thursday, with discussion focused on issues affecting the Jewish community across the US. • Martin Marks, the White House Jewish liaison, opened the meeting, followed by remarks from White House staff secretary Will Scharf. Yoeli Rosenfeld of Bobov, Rabbi Segedin of Satmar, Skver Mayor Yisroel Moshe Spitzer and others raised community concerns, with significant attention given to conditions facing Jewish prisoners in federal and state prisons across the country. • Upon arriving at the meeting, the two Satmar Rebbes warmly greeted each other and exchanged brachos. Reb Ahron also wished his brother Reb Reb Zalmen Leib Mazel Tov on the engagement of a grandchild that was finalized the previous night. • Vice President JD Vance joined the meeting midway and personally greeted those seated around the table. Vance praised the Jewish community’s strong emphasis on family and education, saying both are issues close to him. At one point, he asked about the different colors of the Rebbes’ bekitches. Yossi Gestetner jokingly replied that “it depends on their bank account balance,” drawing laughter from the room. Congressman Mike Lawler and Jared Kushner were also present. • The Viznitz Rebbe of Monsey arrived slightly late and therefore missed the official White House group photo. Later, Satmar Rebbe Reb Ahron held a private roughly 10-minute meeting with President Trump together with Jared Kushner, after which the other Rabbonim were brought into the Oval Office. Reb Ahron made the bracha, which Rabbi Segedin translated for the president. • In the Oval Office seating arrangement, Reb Malkiel was seated first, followed by Satmar Rebbe Reb Zalmen Leib and then Satmar Rebbe Reb Ahron. The info above is outtakes from an interview Yossi Gestetner gave on Kol Mevaser immediately after the meeting.

1:48 AMIf the UN would be able to make laws...: A UN committee ruled that countries are legally obliged to give reparations to African nations for the transatlantic slave trade that ended two centuries ago, plus take measures to address “racial discrimination.” The “Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination” said the mandate arose from a 1965 convention which countries agreed to. • The UN estimates that 12.5 million Africans were sold between the 15th and 19th centuries. Africans countries have been demanding reparations — ranging from official apologies to financial compensation — but Western nations have denied that states can be held responsible for historical crimes. They also note that there were no international laws outlawing the slave trade at the time.

She was fired today. Puck News also reported that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement. • Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.

6:51 PMTrump meeting with the rebbes: Maimonides crisis brought up: The proposed New York City takeover of Maimonides Medical Center that has roiled Brooklyn’s Jewish community was brought up to President Trump during the historic meeting with five rebbes and a rosh yeshiva yesterday. • Among several other topics, Reb Yoel Rosenfeld, an askan who came with the Bobover rebbe’s entourage, asked Trump if the federal government can get involved in keeping Boro Park’s premier hospital private. He said that there were a few avenues where the federal government can prevent it which he enumerated in a file; he said he would follow up separately with the Department of Justice officials. • The hospital’s pending merger, which appears increasingly likely to receive its final state approvals shortly, would place Maimonides under the city’s Health + Hospitals department. Hospital officials say it would trigger hundreds of millions of dollars in state grants and higher Medicaid reimbursement rates. The fear in the community is that the hospital’s top rated doctors would leave and patient service that is based on Jewish law would suffer.
