Q: How do I answer my cousin who says she went to an Ivy League college and wasn't affected?
She says she’s not sorry she went because it had no effect on her.
A: There was a man who ridiculed the speed laws; he was always speeding in his car and he was warned that he’ll be sorry someday. And now he's in the morgue. He ended up against a lamppost and now he's dead.
Now this man is not sorry for speeding. He can’t be sorry because he's dead. Now, if he wouldn’t die, if he’d just be crippled, then he would be sorry; but when he's dead he can't be sorry.
That girl who went to college is not sorry because she’s dead. She lost her mind. She became educated which is equivalent to having an operation – your brain is removed from you. Now, it could be your cousin never had any brain in the first place. that's also possible.
Whatever she had however was replaced by an artificial set of ideas. And today it’s a dangerous set of ideas what they teach in college today. Marxism and humanism. They teach them to be blind to the wonders of nature. When you learn biology, it’s especially planned that you should not see the plan and purpose. And therefore, if your cousin tells you she went to college and wasn't affected, you can tell her it’s because she’s already in the morgue.

we could really use a voice like Rav Avigdor today...
ReplyDeleteWhat a pathetic hateful man.
ReplyDeleteyou know, I really try not to speak ill of the deceased, but how this man had so many followers just flabbergasts me. First he said that "the holocaust happened because we deserved it" (or something to that effect). Had my Father A"H heard this, he would have slapped R' Avigdor across the face. This was a huge insult to all the survivors; and who the hell was he to say this?
ReplyDeleteAnd now this bullshit.
Your father, now in the world of truth, would slap you for speaking like that.
DeleteYour yiddishkeit is hollow.
Daven that you should regain some sensitivity and fidelity to Hashem.
Oh how wrong you are. There was no excuse for insulting the 6 million kedoshim. He was not a Navi. This is no different than when Aron teitelbaum opened up his stupid pisk and said what he said about the 3 teenagers in Israel who were murdered.
DeleteI agree w former.
DeleteSome survivors did come to scream at him back then.He remained calm.
DeleteDifficult it was/is accept,but necessary unfortunately
So your frum surgeon who went to college and beyond is dead. Gives new meaning to the term netuchei meisim.
ReplyDeleteHe was a wonderful,gentle man who really Cared
ReplyDeleteMany then and now prefer to receive the blessings and back slapping of a Bilaam to the rebukes of Moshe
Rav Avigdor Hakohen Miller zt"l was a kanoi, a zealot. To have come from where he came, grown up in his time (b.1908, Baltimore, MD), and remain true to old style Torah Judaism required great strength.
ReplyDeleteYes, he sometimes used hyperbole to make a point, as in this case, but he wanted to get certain ideas across, and that was a way to do it.

ReplyDeleteYour comment is "unfortunate" He was not G-D nor a Navie or a son of a Navie.
He not only insulted 6,000 million murdered Jews, he insulted 3 million survivors. He also wrote the Neturei Karta Ads that were broadcast in the media.
And I see that DIN posted today that this same person (i will skip the title 'Rabbi') also said that its better to go like sheep to the slaughter than to rebel. Seriously, he was sitting on his rebbish tuches in America and had the nerve to utter these stupidities? Ane people listened and accepted? How stupid are these people?
ReplyDelete& Who is Rabbi ? Rabbi Sally from your local Temple,eh?
