Billionaireā€™s daughter pays ā€˜influencersā€™ to tout Jewish menstruation laws

 

Lev Levievā€™s daughter Ruthy paid some NIS 150,000 to get secular female social media stars to promote Jewish purity rules, celebrity news journalist Guy Pines reports

 

The daughter of a Russian billionaire diamond merchant paid secular Israeli female social media stars tens of thousands of shekels each to promote Jewish ritual purity laws that relate to menstruation, veteran celebrity news journalist Guy Pines reported Tuesday.

 

The Channel 12 reporter said he began investigating the story after seeing a video clip on social media of a secular former reality television star, Shay Mika, telling celebrity interviewer Yael Bar-Zohar about her struggles to abide by the Jewish laws of nida, which determine when a woman is considered ritually impure due to her period and is therefore not meant to touch her husband, among other things.

 

ā€œFor the first time, this month I was nida. It was really hard for [my husband] Maor, so yesterday he told me on the couch, ā€˜This is the last time that you are keeping nida,'ā€ Mika said in the video.

 

When Pines looked into this strangely personal video about Mika and her husbandā€™s sex life, he found that it was part of a campaign sponsored by Ruthy Leviev, the daughter of diamond magnate and investor Lev Leviev. It is part of a wider effort by the younger Leviev known as ā€œSheā€™asani Isha,ā€ meaning ā€œthat [God] made me a women,ā€ a reference to a blessing in the Orthodox prayer book to be said by Jewish women each morning. This campaign claims that adopting traditional Jewish values and practices strengthens romantic relationships.

 

According to Pines, Mika, who won the ā€œBig Brotherā€ reality show in 2015, was paid between NIS 15,000 ($4,350) and NIS 20,000 ($5,800) for appearing in the clip and for posting about it on her Instagram account. Bar-Zohar, who interviewed a number of women for the campaign, was paid between NIS 40,000 ($11,600) and NIS 50,000 ($14,500), as was another participant, television personality and food writer Michal Ansky, who also posted about it on Instagram.

Rep. Elise Stefanik: GOP Ready to Provide Counter Programming to ā€˜Illegitimateā€™ January 6 Hearing

 

Republicans are ready to provide counterprogramming to the ā€œillegitimateā€ January 6 Committee hearing, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told Breitbart News Saturday.

 

The committee announced it will be holding its first primetime hearing on Thursday, June 9 at 8 p.m. Eastern. The upcoming hearing gained even more attention after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro for refusing to testify before the committee.

 

Stefanik said the committee is about nothing more than punishing political opponents and targeting ā€œpatriotic Trump supporters.ā€ Further, she noted that it does not even address the actual issue ā€” to make sure the U.S. Capitol has adequate security. Meanwhile, she said Americans are dealing with rampant inflation, high gas prices, a border crisis, and baby formula crisis. It is going to be both a ā€œcircusā€ and ā€œpolitical witch hunt,ā€ Stefanik predicted.

 

ā€œ[Democrats] are doubling down looking for any desperate attempt to try to change the narrative. But look, the American people are smart. They see through this, they want a Congress thatā€™s focused on the issues that matter to them,ā€ she said.

 

Further, the House Republican conference chairwoman said the GOP is ready to counter House Speaker Nancy Pelosiā€™s (D-CA) partisan witch hunt.
