What was his crime?
Sit down for this!
He was teaching Tanye in a private home with neighbors who were a mixture of Satmar Chassidim and some non-Satmar guys!
Yes! His crime was teaching Tanye, a sefer written by the first Chabad Rabbi, the Baal Ha"Tanye.
Until this incident, the only time someone else cut off someone's beard was in Nazi Germany.
So why bring this up again? 40 Years later?
The "beard cutter" himself subsequently went thru personal tragedies himself, and Chabad and Satmar now get along. They get along not because of ideology in which they have a lot in common, they get along because many Satmar guys became very successful businessmen and travel a lot and need a place to eat and daven. Chabad has centers all over the world and these centers is an oasis for these frum business people.
Also, the young Satmar business people became "oif'geklared" meaning being outside the confines of Williamsburg and Monroe they saw that the world does not revolve around them and this opened their eyes to a totally different world.
For example, just last week I met a bunch of Satmar businessmen from Monroe that came to Israel for a StartUp Convention. They davened in a nearby shul and schmoozing with them I found that many of them were here for the very first time. I asked them for their impressions, and ALL OF THEM, said that they were floored by what they saw here in Israel. They thought that Israel was a third world country, and they couldn't believe the number of Jews living here in Israel. They were literarily in shock to see a Jewish country for the very first time surrounded by love, even, they said, from the "meeinim un apikorsim." I asked if they were living in a cave all these years and they all laughed and said "we are kept in the dark and our leaders make Israel look like an evil bad place to be."
As I see it, there is hope, that this new generation of Satmar Chassidim will not buy the garbage taught by their elders and embrace others, not only by bringing them cookies in hospitals and waiting for a Jew that doesn't believe in their ideology to become sick, but embrace them when they are healthy.

This story Sounds as believable as some what they say about the medina how cliche
ReplyDeleteThere is another part to this story, although no one should use force against someone else, these ppl were missionaries, , they were brainwashing young teens to become chabadsker (many of them still are till today) and they were warned many times to stay away, but because it's a part of their religion, they ignored the warnings, and some wild teens took the matter into their hands and handled it in a pretty gruesome way.
ReplyDeletethe story is true. that "guy" was reb pinye korf ztzl, a legendary chabad mashpia who passed away during covid.

the other chassid is reb mendele vechter shlita, who was satmar and became chabad. he still wears the satmar levush.
moshiach should come very soon! amen!
One of the ringleaders involved in the beard cutting obscenity, was non other than that sewer rat "Nechemia Weberman yemach shemo" who is currently serving a 70 year sentence for repeatedly raping and torturing a young Satmar girl under his care.
ReplyDeleteFrum but
ReplyDeleteHe was convicted and is serving his term on only one of the girls that he raped, he raped at lease 6 others, who all came to the trial.

ReplyDeleteJust that you know, the Nazis also had "another side to the story"
"missionaries?" Are you insane?
Teaching Tanyeh is now a missionary activity? Oh they were "brainwashing" teenagers to become "chabadzkers?"
Oy Vey! Wow! What a tragedy? My children instead of going OTD will now become a Chabadnik, Chas VeShalom.
Obviously those Satmar Chassidim went to a private home voluntarily to finally learn something authentic about Judaism and the Satmar/Romanian hierarchy felt threatened by Chabad guys teaching them Tanyeh, and so they signaled to their goons to teach them a lesson! Is their Chassidus so frail that they are afraid that they would lose their children to another chassidus?
It wasn't only Chabad that they were threatened by, they were also threatened by Kloizinberg and made sure to drive the Kloizenberger Rebbe out of Williamsburg to Galus in crime infested Union City. They also poured glue into R' Moshe Feinstein's locks. They tortured R' Hershele Spinker and cursed with the most vile curses the Belzer Rebbe when he visited Boro-Park.
So please don't justify and explain away Satmar hooliganism, their tactics go back to pre world war2. Go ask some Satmar Holocaust Survivors, go quick as they are unfortunately dying out and their knowledge of Satmar violent history will be forgotten
ReplyDeleteYou're combining irrelevancy.
They may be jerk nuts,but
Chabad missionaries -which is what they are -were snatching their youth away slyly
Wechter the eccentric was never run of the mill Satmar OR run of the mill Chabad either for that matter. He married a Taimanisher woman. He had a kooky shul in Flatbush. Something in his sefer supposedly from the Koritzer cannot be true unless the Koritzer said apikorsis. His son was a disrupter at a Litvisher yeshiva that he's lucky he wasn't thrown out of
ReplyDeleteWas that Wechter's brother or father that had the Shabbos shul in the old cheder building of Yesodei Hatorah Toronto? That shul was also an eccentric place

and not just because a typical Shabbos levush there was a kurtzeh suit mit gartel & kutchma
DIN never produced a cartoon yet with R' Aron Teitelbaum in a kutchma
ReplyDeleteChabad Lubavitch is a dangerous sect with a mixed up theology, now continuing to push and promote their long dead leader as the (false) Messiah, redeemer and leader of the Jewish people.
ReplyDeleteWe are neither interested in their missionaries nor in their Moshiach sheker, MMS (Mendel Moshiach Sheker) - ממ"ש - מענדעל משיח שקר.
