Photos of this event was all over the Israeli Press!
Followers of Satmar and the two anti-Zionist Roshei Yeshivois, Rav Malkiel Kotler of Lakewood, and Rav Aron Shechter of Chaim Berlin, stuffed Pashkivelin under the doors of each room at the hotel of the Agudah Convention, making sure that all the guests were aware of this news story!
The following was a letter to YWN by an outraged guest!
Dear YWN,
I am sorry to be writing such a harsh letter while in my room just two hours before Shabbos, but I feel a public Mach’ah is in order. Not only that, but a public apology from the Agudah is in order.
I paid to attend the Convention to be spiritually uplifted by words of Gedolim. I did not pay to have a politically motivated newspaper, with an offensive headline stuffed under my door.
I am referring to a piece of trash that I wouldn’t use to lace the floor of my birdcage. This newspaper, suspected to be funded by Satmar, and two the leaders of the Peleg Yerushalmi in America (a Rosh yeshiva from Lakewood, and a Rosh Yeshiva from Flatbush), hardly has an ad in it, yet is published weekly and shoved into our mailboxes in Flatbush and Lakewood. Big deal. I and 99% of the rest of the world simply throw it in a trash bin. But to have this shoved under every single door at the convention is utterly disgusting.
Bnei Torah at the convention I have spoken to are appalled. On the cover page of this “special journal for the Agudah Convention”, there is a full-on attack on Maran Sar Hatorah Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita! There are no ample words to describe the horror and shock!
This lead article is a haskala- style mocking piece centering on Maran Sar HaTorah and the decisions he’s made.
The Agudah should be just as careful as they have been with the kashrus and ideology of the speakers, to be just as carefuls in protecting guests from the most dangerous infection of all- disdain and disrespect for gedolei Yisroel!
Shameful, and disgraceful.
Name withheld by request.
I never knew the Agudah was extra careful with the Kashrus and the ideology of the speakers . . .
ReplyDeleteIt seems that chief-anti-vax and pro molester Malkiel Kutler spewed his nonsense about Shmuel Aurbach during a Shabbos address at the Agudah Convention...
ReplyDeleteThen Motzai Shabbos the Novominsker Rebbe called him out!
Malkiel spewed his nonsense by the Agudah Convention over Shabbos, the Novominsker calls him out...

The guest was not yotzay mitzvas machah if did not sign his name. What a so called religious coward.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I went to Chaim Berlin and met Rabbi J Max YEMACH SHMO
