This is why I am here and also I I deliver it on the most kosher and most entertaining and funnest way possible. So, here I go. Here we go. Bezras Hashem Yisborach. Today is Chof Cheshvan. Chof Cheshvan Tof Shin Pei Vov and it's my brother's birthday today. 34th birthday. Mazel tov Dovid. Mazel mazel tov. Happy birthday. My brother shares a birthday as well on the same day as the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Reb Sholom Dovber Schneerson, known by all as the Rashab. Who should we give a who should we give a and he was born on the on the same day, 20th of Cheshvan of the year of Tof Resh Kof Alef, 1860 Lemisboram. Today marks the yahrtzeit as well of Rabbi well as well. Today Today marks the yahrtzeit L'havdil of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks who passed away on the 20th of Cheshvan Chof Cheshvan Tof Shin Pei Alef in 2020 for those remembering Covid at age 72. He was one of the most respected Jewish leaders of our time serving as the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for over two decades. Born in London, he once planned to become a lawyer until the Lubavitcher Rebbe encouraged him to enter the to become a Rov changing the course of his life. Rabbi Sacks became the philosopher and a moral voice and author of more than 30 Seforim. He met with world leaders and always spoke in a way that reached every person. In 2009, he entered the British House of Lords continuing his mission to bring Torah wisdom into public life. His teachings filled with depth and clarity continue to inspire Jews all around the world. As Rabbi Sacks said on the weekly parsha Avrum Avruam in this week's parsha Avrum final finals final years reveal quite str- basically a strength and unshakeable faith. Emunah. Even though Hashem promised him a great nation as he said, right? And the land of Israel Avrum Avinu dies basically owning only one field the Maras Hamachpela and leaves behind one son Yitzchak to carry on his legacy. Yet he feels complete knowing he began Avrum Zuken B'Yomim V'Arov Shanim Berach he feel he he felt complete, right? Knowing he began the journey and trusting that Hashem will finish the rest in his time. When Avrum Avinu negotiates to buy the burial site from from from Stay Ephron, he does it with patience, honesty and dignity. Lot tried to fit in and was rejected by Avrum Avinu stood apart and was honored as the son of Hashem. Lesson is true greatness in in a minute is steady effort, calm trust emunah bitachon and the confidence that Hashem's plan plans always unfolds when it should. Now, I didn't come here obviously to give you Torahs. I'm here to tell you the news but but I had to tell you this because it was important cuz it's Rabbi Jonathan Sacks it's a big thing for me cuz I'm I'm British and he was the Chief Rabbi of UK so it felt close to me. That leaves me to asking you have you already signed up to the New York real estate course NYREC course? Become a realtor. Stay Ephron, right? He was the first one who bought a piece of real estate Avrum Avinu. So, you can also do that and make a lot of money a ton of money. If you speak Yiddish and you're interested in the course which will take place in Monsey and Borough Park this week is the last week to sign up and less than a week to sign up. I would say less than a few days to sign up. So, sign up now. Stay on Edge. Get a good deal. 718-298-2559. Today is the yahrtzeit of Rabbi Tzvi Kogan. The Those who remember a year ago a 28-year-old Chabad shliach who was brutally murdered in the UAE last year. He disappeared from Dubai on November 21, 2024 and was found dead killed three days later in the desert near Al near Al Al Ain close to the Oman border. Investigators said that three Uzbek nationals planned kidnap to kidnap him and smuggle him through the border into Oman but when the plan fell apart, they don't know why exactly maybe he fought with them in the car, they killed him and left his body in the sand. The Israeli government called that an anti-Semitic an anti-Semitic terror attack of course. The killers fled to Turkey but were later caught, extradited and tried in Abu Dhabi. In March 2025, just now recently, the court ruled the murder well recently the the court ruled the murder was for a terroristic terrorist purpose sentencing the three to death and one to life in prison. Well, two of them to death and yeah, his death shocked Jewish communities across the Gulf when Rabbi Kogan had built a warm growing network of Jewish life in Dubai. He left his almana behind who gave birth to a baby daughter five months after he died nebach. That child will never know her father's voice. Only his story. Hashem Yinkom Domoi and may he be a melitz yosher for all of us here. Anyway, today is Veteran's Day in the United States for those who don't know. It is a day to honor all those who served in the American military military. The date marks the end of the World War I when fighting stopped at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 which is the Hebrew date of Zion Kislev Tof Resh Ain Tes. Across the country people are holding parades, ceremonies and moments of silence and I know that my daughter's buses didn't work today so we had to take them to school. Well, my wife had to take them to school. So, yeah. A moment of silence and thanks thank veterans for their service. Leaders say that this day is not about politics it's about showing respect to those who protected the country. From big cities to small towns Americans are saying one simple message, thank you for your service. Let's jump into Israel and breaking news my friends, major developments. Israeli media report that the United the United States plans a new military base near the Gaza border. The reported budget is about $500 million. The base would basically support an international force to help maintain the ceasefire. It could house several thousand troops. There's no official confirmation yet from Washington or Jerusalem. Treat this as a developing report from from from Ynet and other outlets like Reuters. Anyway, the US already operates a civil military coordination center in Kiryat Gat to coordinate aid for those who want to know and planning for a possible stabilization force which we already spoke about several times in on the news. Thousands of Israelis attended the levaya of Hadar Goldin Hashem Yinkom Domoi in Kfar Saba on Tuesday Tuesday morning which is today. Well, we woke up to Tuesday when the when it was Tuesday almost evening then. Yeah, into the return of the following the return of his body to Israel on Sunday. Goldin was killed in a battle in Rafah I said already yesterday and his body was abducted by Hamas during the operation Protective Edge in 2014 when he fought them. New details emerge about the operation to retrieve Hadar Goldin's body. After 11 years his remains were returned to Israel on Sunday but reports now say that IDF soldiers were extremely close in finding in finding him themselves. Channel 14 reported that after six months of digging in Rafah soldiers were just meters away from finding his body last week. They were suddenly given an order to stop and pull back 1 kilometer probably to save their lives. A few hours later a few hours later the soldiers watched as Hamas terrorists and the Red Cross representatives went to the exact spot on and extracted the body. One soldier involved in the digging described it as total frustration. Well, it saved his life so he doesn't know that. The Israeli Knesset has passed a new law requiring the death penalty for terrorists who murder Israelis. The bill introduced by Otzma Yehudit a member and also member Limor Limor Ben Har Melech make basically makes executions mandatory for anyone convicted of national nationalistically motivated murder of an Israeli citizen. After the vote, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir celebrated by handing out baklava in the Knesset in the Knesset chamber as a symbolic act. Basically baklava's often seen as handed handed out by Arab terrorists the family of Arab terrorists or martyrs after terror attacks against Israelis. Justice is served or shall I say baklava is served. Anyway, let's talk about Protobit. You all know already I've mentioned several times that if you have a business and tons of applications to well today my office has told me that we might want to change from QuickBooks to that books into this application. We keep on changing because this subscription is more expensive that's cheaper. At the end of the day all the subscriptions together which we're going through now, it accumulated to I don't know how I don't want to say it in a number but it's shocking. Almost like a mortgage. You don't even realize that. You can pay a one a one-time fee or maybe I would say it's cheaper actually. Yes, it's expensive to make a program when you look at it oh it's a big it's a big fee it's a lot of money to build a website. Building a website building a program but yet Protobit is good for building programs all in one communication all the apps sales, leads, CRM, databases you name it everything automation the whole lot the whole bang lot they do it Protobit does it for you. So, 347-354-1237 call them. Mention on Edge get a good deal. Still cheaper still cheaper than all those subscriptions that you have trust me.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams will travel to Israel this Friday November 14 for a four-day visit through Tuesday November 18. His plans is meeting with government officials, business leaders and tech sector with a focus on countering anti-Semitism and strengthening economic ties for the few days he has left as mayor of New York City. New Jersey. A bill in New Jersey which is called S1510 was approved today yesterday by the Senate Transportation Committee to keep New Jersey on daylight saving time year round. Representatives of Agudath Israel of New Jersey warned that under permanent daylight daylight saving time winter sunrises would be very late affecting morning davening and school schedules. Yeah, the committee chair said that he will move the bill out of committee but is open to changes. Basically nothing happened yet. It's just talks. The Supreme Court of United States of America has agreed to hear a case that will decide whether states, including New Jersey, may count mail-in ballots that are put that are postmarked by election day but arrived after election day. New Jersey currently allows ballots postmarked by election day to be received up to 6 days later. A ruling could change how New Jersey and up to 30 other states handle late-arriving mail ballots. Well, time, votes, and daylight are three battles shaping the Garden State's future. For New Jersey, my friends. Anyway, international news, Hezbollah leaders undergo disguises. Senior members of the Hezbollah terrorist organization reportedly underwent plastic surgery to conceal their identities amid fears of of the Israeli Defense Forces. Dozens of previously targeted senior officials allegedly had these procedures performed in Iran and Iraq. A senior Israeli official has called for Israel to take decisive action to topple the the Iranian regime before the end of American President Donald Trump's second term in January 2029. A deadly car explosion in New De- in New Delhi, India, has killed at least 10 people and injured several others. The blast happened the accident well, during rush hour on Monday evening near the historic Red Fort. Reports say a slow-moving car stopped at traffic at a traffic light and then exploded, setting multiple other vehicles on fire. Indian authorities are investigating the explosion as a terrorist act and are using anti-terror laws. In response, the American Embassy in New Delhi has issued an urgent security warning telling its citizens to avoid that area. Let's talk about American politics, shall we? There has been a major step towards ending the government shutdown yesterday, well, last night, but it has caused a deep divide among Democrats, of course. For those hearing this for the first time, a government shutdown happens when Congress fails to pass a budget to fund federal agencies. During that time, most government workers stay home without pay and many public services stop until a new deal is approved. After 42 days, the Senate voted 60 to 40 to pass a bill to reopen the government. This now is the longest shutdown in the United States history. The bill is a temporary funding plan to restart government operations for the next few months. It does not include the extra health care subsidies that the Democrats wanted for low-income families. Understand? If not, then I'll tell you again about now. Republicans replay it. Republicans agreed only to hold a separate vote on that issue at a later time. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer voted against the bill saying he could not support a plan that fails to address the health care the health care crisis. Some members of his party are now questioning his leadership. In the house, Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries also said he will not support the Senate bill but confirmed that he continues to support Schumer as Senate leader. New Jersey Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim both voted, obviously, no, as you all expected, saying the plan does not protect health care or help with living costs. The bill now goes to the the House of Representatives for a final vote with President Trump basically signing it off, calling on lawmakers to pass it quickly. Yeah. Historic fact, on this day, November 11th, 1889, which is 100 years before I was born, to be accurate, Washington becomes the 42nd state of United 42 like 42 days of government shutdown, whatever. I just made that husband. Washington becomes well, it's not even Washington D.C. It's a state. Becomes the 42nd state of the United States of America when it President US President Benjamin Harrison, which was president that back then during 1833 and 1901, issued a proclamation declaring that the admission of Washington is into the well, into the United States, into the Union is complete. Today's caption, I would say, 42 42 days of paid vacation for the government and thousands of flight cancellations. I would put it as a caption, but it's interesting. President Trump criticized previous administration's transportation policies and made fun of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. At a public event, he commented on how difficult it is to pronounce Buttigieg's name saying, "We had a guy named Buttigieg edge boot edge edge, like as in boot edge edge." Then he made a remark linking the name to policy saying, "They say it's the best way, just say two edges, like boot off the edge of a cliff, which is where they were taking us, by the way." His comments received laughter from the audience and were part of his wider criticism of the Biden administration's handling of transportation and infrastructure. From Pete boot edge edge booting us off the edge with transportation to Trump putting us back on edge on edge. Hey. Hold on a second. What? Yeah, why not? Go back. Let's play the audio. Let's hear him say it himself. And we didn't have that. We had a guy named Buttigieg, boot edge edge. This is the best way, just say two edges, like off the edge of a cliff, which is what where they were taking us, by the way. Boot edge edge was the uh Anyway, you heard him say it himself. So, let's talk about transportation, right? What is not frustrating is Arrive Express. When you have a taxi company like Arrive Express, well, it's more like an application and you know, they have a cool system. You can call in, you get text messages when they arrive. People tell me they're the most fastest arriving taxi in this area in this region. I would say in the wider region if you have Arrive Express. But the point is, if you have if you ever stuck in Monsey or Monroe, you can always talk call a cab from Arrive Express. 845-622-1111, which is in Monsey, and 845-254-1111, which is in Monroe. Syrian President President Bashar al-Assad met with President Trump at the White House yesterday. Unlike most visiting leaders, he entered through a back entrance instead of the main front door. A quieter arrival that showed the meeting's sensitive nature. For those unfamiliar, um what happened? Oh, for those unfamiliar, Syria and the United States have had no full diplomatic ties for more than a decade. And this was the first visit of a kind of its kind. After the talks, President al-Assad stopped at stopped his motorcade to greet the crowd of cheering immigrants, Syrians, outside the White House. The Trump administration then announced a 180-day suspension of the Caesar Act sanctions on Syria, major change after years of strict pressure. Officials also say that Syria has agreed to join a new international coalition to fight ISIS. His previous um friends. President Well, you know, al-Assad's previous friends. President Trump said that of al-Assad, "He's a very strong leader. He comes from a very tough place and is a tough guy. I like him. I get along with him. We will do everything we can to make Syria successful." Have you noticed how he tell he's Trump likes to say, "I like him. He's a tough guy." on very like um strange people? I mean, just like the Turkish president. Well, we'll talk about that. Anyway, President Trump made a firm announcement about an air travel disruption during the government shutdown. He ordered all traffic controllers to return to work immediately saying, "Air traffic controllers must get back to work now. Anyone who doesn't will substantially will be substantially docked." He also praised those. Now, listen to this. If you're an air traffic controller, you might be rich with $10,000. Yeah. He praised those who continued working, promising them a $10,000 bonus for distinguished service to our country. Flights across several airports have faced delays and safety warnings in recent days. Trump's message was clear. He's running this country like a real boss, demanding discipline and rewarding those who stay on duty. Think about it. Would Biden do this? Would Obama do this? I don't know. My point is I'm not saying that Yeah, but it's interesting how I'm just defining the characters between the two of different presidents in American history. Yeah, basically, you either clear us for takeoff. In other words, he's saying, "You either clear us for takeoff or you'll be cleared and takeoff." Well, see New Yorkers are leaving the city following the election of socialist Jumaane Williams as mayor. Real estate agents in Boca Raton, Florida, and upscale suburbs in Connecticut report a wave of new arrivals from New York City. Many say that they're moving out of fear of higher taxes and tighter business rules under the new administration. Governor Mrs. Hochul, Kathy Hochul, has also blocked Mayor-elect Mamdani's $700 million plan, interesting, to make all city bus free. One of his main campaign promises. The first promise that fell through. Hochul said simply, "We're spending a lot of money." and refused to approve the funding. That's what she said. So, the new mayor looks like she's getting ready for the race that's coming up soon, the governor race. We all heard that Stefanik is running, so yeah. So, the new mayor's supporters wanted free buses, but it looks like they're getting expensive U-Hauls instead. Anyway, when the buses stay put but the billionaires roll out, New York is on edge. Yes.

President Trump is threatening to sue the BBC for $1 million after a major scandal over a edit of his January 6th speech. The BBC's chairman, Samir Shah, yeah, publicly apologized calling it an error of judgment. The issue began with a BBC Panorama documentary aired before the 2024 election. The program joined together two separate parts of Trump's speech spoken 54 minutes apart making it sound like he said, "We're going to walk down to the capital and we're going to fight like hell." as one continuous at one continuous line. Basically, it was two separate speeches. Critics say that edit falsely suggested that he was calling for a violence. The mis- this mistake come came to light after a leaked memo from a former BBC advisor revealed the edit, which we reported here last week on Edge. Trump's lawyers have demanded a full retraction and a public apology and financial compensation. If the BBC does not comply, his team plans to file a $1 billion defamation lawsuit. The fallout has already reached the top of the of the broadcast the BBC director general, Tim Davie, and BBC news CEO, Deborah Turness, have both resigned as a result. $1 two lost jobs and one edit that put the BBC on Edge. Yeah, I'm not making a joke. BBC on Edge. I'm joking. One day. Anyway, maybe I'll buy them out. Joking. Spain's former king, Juan Carlos, has admitted for the first time that he was the one who accidentally killed his younger brother nearly 70 years ago. The confession appears in a new book published in France. The tragedy happened on March 29, 1956 when 14-year-old Prince Alfonso was shot and killed. Juan Carlos was 18 at the time wrote that he and his brother were playing with a .22 caliber pistol and believed it was unloaded. He said, "We had no idea there was a bullet inside inside the chamber. It shot was fired in the air and the bullet ricocheted and struck my brother's my brother squarely in the forehead." And he added, "I will not recover from this tragedy. It's gravity it's it's gravity will accompany me forever." he says. Reports from that period say his father covered Alfonso's body with a Spanish flag and threw the pistol into the sea. No court investigation was ever opened into the death. Shawarma Delight. Well, you don't have to investigate to find this out. You don't have to cover it up because Shawarma Delight is open for all. You can just go there and find out for yourselves. If you're ever in Monsey, stop by on the way from London and you want to stop by and you want to go to get yourself a good shawarma, I would suggest you go into where Bingo is, you know, off exit 14 in Monsey.

Get it delivered for free here in Monsey and also remember to mention on Edge to get a free drink. Okay? A 35-year-old man has been convicted after pretending to be a flight attendant. Hear that? And flying to for free for more than 120 times, my friends. Prosecutors say that Tyrone Alexander used fake airline credentials to pose as crew as a crew for American, Delta, United, Southwest, and Spirit Airlines. I mean, I understand Spirit Airlines, but American Airlines, Delta? How how did he do that? He logged years of free travel using 30 different badge numbers and higher dates to access staff-only booking systems. Unbelievable. From 2018 until his arrest in March 2025, we only heard about it. I don't know why. He boarded flights nationwide under fake non-revenue crew statuses. His case remains reminds many of the famous story from the 1960s. For those who know when Frank Frank I think Frank Abagnale, yeah, Frank Abagnale, the real-life Catch Me If You Can con artist, faked being a Pan Am co-pilot to travel the world for free. Like Abagnale, Alexander fooled the system. I think you pronounce it Abagnale, yeah. Fooled the system for years, but this time technology caught up with his lie. And he is now being convicted of the wire of wire fraud and entering secure airport areas under false pretense. From Catch Me If You Can to Caught You at the Gate. Anyway, another high flyer falls on Edge. With this, my friends, we will complete today's segment and have a wonderful day. And again, mazel tov to my brother, David, on your birthday. All the On Edge.
