It was a great victory for a Jewish employee who faced workplace hostility and an anti Israel email blast, when the Bronx Legal Aid group, The Bronx Defenders settled with a $175, 000 payout to the victim. In addition the settlement also included an official apology, and the staff having to undergo bias and sensitivity training. Is this the beginning of something big for victims of antisemitism? Will this discourage the recent wave of rising antisemitism?

Baila Sebrow, Producer and Host of The Definitive Rap Show sat down with Dov Hikind, an Orthodox Jew, American politician, activist, and radio talk show host. Dov is a former Democratic New York State Assemblyman representing Brooklyn's Assembly district 48, having held this position for 35 years – from January 1983 until December 2018. He is the Founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. Americans Against Antisemitism is a grassroots coalition that mobilizes supporters to take social action against anti-Semites.

Dov discussed what happened to the Jewish staffer victim with regard to antisemitic working conditions, when it was reported, and ultimately how it came be that the victim was actually vindicated?

He was happy to report that the perpetrator of Fima Zlatsin, the Jewish victim of an unprovoked attack on a New York City subway this past summer was found and arrested.

Also discussed was about the many recent Arab terror attacks in Israel, and that we have now seen a move where Hungary will be the first European country to establish its embassy in Jerusalem.

Dov shared his opinion about New York City Mayor Eric Adams who is not a believer in the “separation of church and state has achieved new fans, particularly Orthodox Jews and Evangelical Christians because he ripped removal of school prayers.

Today we are discussing a topic that will raise much controversy.
Parental Alienation. This is a topic of justice. No woman, no man, no child, no animal, no living creature should ever be abused or
mistreated. Not by anyone. There should be no cover-ups, and if there is, it must be exposed.

When two people get divorced, it is between them. The adults. It is the couple getting divorced. The children should not be getting divorced from either of their parents. Keep the children out of it! Children have a right to have a relationship with both parents. No Mother, no father should ever keep their child or children away from their parent.

The long term-effect of parental alienation on children can be devastating and is actually a criminal offense in some countries

Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap interviewed Jeffrey Ostrov, an orthodox Jewish man from Israel. He talked about his painful experience as a father who is being alienated from his children and about how the system is failing him and others in his situation.

He explained how the alienation began, and what his ex-wife claimed is the reason for her keeping his children away from him. He also described what would happen if he attempted contact with his children, and whether his children would want to have a relationship with him.

There are few true heroes in our midst. The people who stick their necks out to help others, and who do it not for money or fame, but because they truly care to help those whom nobody cares about. Those are the unsung heroes.

Here on the Definitive Rap we bring the truth to the forefront.
We respect people of all faiths, and we believe in America, and Justice For All. Our guest today, Mark Appel, lives and breathes for peace and justice.

Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap sat down with Mark Appel, a long-time advocate who has dedicated his life to advancing civil rights for all Americans and bridging the divide between different communities.

Mark started by giving a detailed account of his background, and explained how he became such a successful advocate for so many years.

He talked about how he spent ten years rallying the support for the bill called the passage of the Child Victims Act, a great victory for all victims of sex abuse.

Mark explained his motivation to address the challenge of bringing
multicultural communities and people together, to form The Bridge
Multicultural and Advocacy Project, a unity center that aims to address issues across cultural lines, and advocates for transformational change in New York’s diverse communities.
