You would think that Jews especially "Torah Jews'' would want to support businesses that are owned by their fellow Jews.
Not a chance.
The Gerer Rebbe flew ''Delta"" this week on his visit to New York, despite the fact that El Al is now owned by a shomer Torah Umitvois.
The Gerer Rebbe is a multi-millionaire, so his decision to support ''Goyim" was not a financial one, this was not a question of the price of the ticket.
To make matters worse, the Israeli Hamodia, a Gerer backed newspaper, encouraged its readers to fly an airline owned by goyim, instead of encouraging Jews to support their own.
This post is not about someone who has a limited budget and must fly the cheapest way.
Look at the top. It's a paid advertisement.
ReplyDeleteThis Rebbe is an unmitigated disaster for his Chassidus!
ReplyDeleteHis raison d'etre is to fight his cousin the Rosh HaYeshiva Rav Shaul Alter.
