Satmar's rallying cry against the State of Israel is "hisgarus be'umois" antagonizing the gentile world .... to Satmar that applies to all except of course themselves....
Just a month ago the Satmar Rebbe wrote a letter praising the Governor and asking his followers to follow regulations...
and this is exactly what our ancestor , the matriarch Rivka was afraid of ....
The parsha last weeks describes how Rivka was agitated when she was pregnant because as Rashi describes, that when she passed a Shul the baby was struggling to get out and then when she passed a pagan church again the baby struggled to get out ...she was confused. She decided to ask her local Rabbi what was going on ... the Rabbi calmed her down .."Don't you worry... you have twins, one will be a tzaddik and the other one will be wicked rasha.
Question: From the text it seems that Rivka was satisfied with this answer... now I'm no Rivka in any shape or form, but if I would get a definitive answer from my Rabbi that one of my children was going to be a rasha.. I wouldn't be so calm .. I would try to break every barrier to make sure that this prophecy would not come true ... but Rivka seemed to be calm and satisfied ... what's up with that?
Answer: Rivka originally thought that she only had one child and that child was a hypocrite ... he would be dressed like a chareidie but in his heart a wicked rasha..that she couldn't deal with ... but then the Rabbi told her .. that it would be twins .. she calmed down ... Remember Rivka had a brother and a father that were wicked and cruel .. she knew how to deal with them, she wasn't frightened that one of her children would be a rasha.. she figured that she could deal with a rasha... she could perhaps change him to be a better person ...with a rasha there is still hope...and even if he himself never changes .. his children and grandchildren can turn around ...
but not with a hypocrite .... there is no hope for a hypocrite and that's why Rivka was agitated ..
Vehameivan Yavin!
The following is an unedited article Associated Press about the now international news story regarding the massive Satmar wedding that was recently held in Williamsburg. and was reported as far away as Australian TV.)
Cuomo: Massive Orthodox wedding in Brooklyn ‘disrespectful’
A Brooklyn synagogue should be investigated over reports that it hosted a secret wedding with thousands of unmasked guests earlier this month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday.
“If that happened, it was a blatant disregard of the law,” Cuomo said during a briefing in New York City. “It’s illegal. It was also disrespectful of the people of New York.”
The New York Post reported that guests, mostly unmasked, crammed inside the Yetev Lev temple in Williamsburg for the Nov. 8 wedding of Yoel Teitelbaum, a grandson of Satmar Grand Rabbi Aaron Teitelman, in blatant violation of coronavirus restrictions that ban large indoor gatherings. The synagogue has a capacity of 7,000 people.
Organizers kept the wedding secret after state officials canceled an earlier Satmar wedding, the Post reported, citing a Yiddish newspaper, Der Blatt.
“If it turns out that because we stopped that wedding the reaction was, ‘Well we’ll have a secret wedding,’ that would be really shocking and totally deceitful,” Cuomo said. “It’s illegal and the city should do a robust investigation,” he added.
A spokesperson for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city is investigating.
“The city is conducting an investigation into the incident and will hold those accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” spokesperson Avery Cohen said.
Businesses and houses of worship that flout bans on large gatherings risk fines of $15,000.
A man who answered the phone at the Yetev Lev synagogue on Sunday said officials there had no comment.
Compliance with coronavirus restrictions in some of New York’s Orthodox Jewish communities has been an issue since the pandemic started last spring.
Protests erupted in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn last month after Cuomo announced a crackdown in several Orthodox neighborhoods as virus cases increased. Many members of Orthodox communities complained that they were being singled out.
Cuomo and de Blasio have warned all New Yorkers that even small gatherings during the holidays could fuel a spike in coronavirus infections.
“The problem is that this is a dangerous period because you have increased social activity by definition,” Cuomo said.
Virus rates will likely rise between now and New Year’s Day, Cuomo said.
Cuomo said there were 2,562 people hospitalized with COVID-19 across the state on Saturday, 119 more than the previous day. There were 30 deaths, he said.

ReplyDeleteThe issue is not Cuomo,it’s the sheer chutzpah and criminality of having a wedding attended by thousands in mid of a raging pandemic,could we even imagine the CHILLUL HASHEM and Jew hatred this criminal act will cause.
It is only when Jews build homes in Yehudah and Shomron our God given land,that Satmar Jew haters get’ bent out of shape and screams it is HISGARUS B’UMMOS we shouldn’t antagonize the gentiles,but this sheer criminality where they not only put their own lives in danger but it has the potential to infect thousands and thousands of others that is perfectly ok and no problem at all
the hypocrisy cries to the heavens,but of course we shouldn’t be surprised after all we are dealing with a crazed filthy savage Jew hating and Israel hating cult
It is about time that the whole world realize once and for all that Neturei Karta, Satmar, and all other similar guru centered lunatic communities are not Judaism!
ReplyDeleteThey are mindless cults that idolize ignorance and stupidity!
Their ignorance extends to Jewish subjects as well and it is abysmal. They do not understand Halacha (Minha 20 min after the shkia!) do not know Tanach, pray in pidgin Hebrew and have no knowledge of the language.
What these psychopaths are practicing is not Judaism--it is a perpetual costume carnival (cum mafia)!
It is no wonder that they always turn up in the middle of hillul hashem scandals -- they have no real Torah.
I really pity their children who are deprived of both worlds.

ReplyDeleteI agree except the "mincha" part .... davening "20 minutes after the shikia" is the psak of the Mechaber of the Shulchan Aruch and the psak of the Ramah ...
the confluence of Mincha and Shkia is a relatively new concept and is first seen in the Mishna Berura who cites the Brisker Rav ...
But both Chassidim and sfardim go with the Shulchan Aruch and the Ramah
and see no connection between Mincha and Shikah
