Satmar Rebbe Attacks Belzer Rebbe Quotes the"Vayoel Moshe " That said that those who align themselves with the government are "Meenim & Apikorsim"

 

What did the Belzer Rebbe do that was so bad? 

 He decided to have Math & English taught in his elementary schools thereby giving his institutions vital funds from the Israeli Government. This according to the Satmar Rebbe means that he is aligning with the Zionists "meenim & apikorsim" which make the Belzer a "meen & apikoras"

What the rebbe didn't mention is that the Satmar Rebbe had his staff fill out mandatory forms, required by the New York Board of Education stating under the penalty of perjury that Math, English etc are in the Satmar curriculum thereby making his schools eligible for City, State and Federal funds, which they presently receive. Satmar is currently fighting New York State because the State now wants Chareide Moisdois to introduce Science, Bio and LGBT ideas. 

So, in other words, its ok for Satmar to take government funds but it is not ok for Belz to take government funds to teach the exact same subjects that Satmar claims is being taught in their schools. The "meenim & apikorsim" phrase that the rebbe uses against Belz is truer in New York where the threat of government intervention is very real and they are now battling with the help of the Zionist Agudah of America, apikorsehe studies such as Science, Bio and LGBT Studies, etc.

 Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg (R' Zalman Leib )  launched a fierce attack against those who wish to change the way of chareidie education that has been practiced for generations, in light of the publication about the agreements reached by representatives of the Belz Chasidim with the Ministry of Education, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Finance Lieberman about special budgeting for educational institutions that meet special criteria relating to secular studies at a higher level.

A loose translation of the above speech which was delivered in Yiddish (I only translated the pertinent parts, he also dragged in the Chasam Sofer)

In a speech given last night (Tuesday) by the Rebbe on the occasion of the celebration of the Yismach Moshe z"l, the Rebbe said, 

"Because of our may sins, we see that the words spoken by the Rebbe zt"l (DIN:referring to R; Yoielish z"l) in his ruach ha'kodesh( DIN: R' Yoielish said over and over that he doesn't have Ruach Hakoidish)  , about the prohibition to join with "meenim and apikorsim" by taking funds from the authorities, which he called 'bribes', are becoming a reality.

 

The Rebbe added, "Unfortunately, we have seen lately that all those who broke through the fences of the rishonim  and connected to them, deteriorated from bad to worse, to the point that they agreed to give their destiny to the government , and undertook to study the studies (math & English) in the Talmud Torah, thereby sticking a sword in the Torah study of the Tinokas Shel Beis Raban, and bringing "tumeh" into a Holy Place, which never happened before. 

 

The Rebbe added: "We now see how the things that the righteous of the generation (r' Yoilish z"l)  warned  40 years ago, on the subject of connecting with the wicked, who were, by the way, are those who laughed and belittled things, and making "litzanois" of the ways of the Rebbe zt"l, we all see what is happening now as they hand their Talmud Torah to the forces of impurity."

 

In conclusion, the Rebbe said that his father, zt"l, would always explain the words of the previos Belzer Rav, who would explain the words "Do not touch the Messianic", which refers to the Tinokas she bais  Raban - that is, that the Messiah will grow and be revealed from within the Tinokas she bais  Raban , and not through an angel who descended from heaven, and therefore any small change that is made in the customary way of the Tinokas she bais  Raban , it may, God forbid, harm the future Messiah.

Belz was ready with a response
