Zionists are the largest Supporters of Torah ... 2025 budget includes 656 million shekels (about $178 million) for Chareidie institutions

 

$178 million Dollars!!! 656 Million Shekel!! All for Chareidie Institutions! 

In November of 2016, I made a big deal about how the Zionists were funding Charediem to the tune of 303 Million Shekels, it is now, just 8 years later, more than double! 

How much do you think was allocated to rehabilitate the communities destroyed by Hamas??? 

How much was allocated to rebuild Northern towns affected by Hezbollah rocket fire? 

I hope you are sitting for this because the answer is ZERO!!!!!

The vast majority of my readers are from Chareidie communities, I know this from Google Analytics, so let's chap a shmooze like family at a family simcha! 

Putting aside all biases against Zionists, against chilonim, I'm asking between us...
Does this make any sense? 

That the Zionist Israeli Chilonim, (since they are the majority) are the biggest supporters of Torah now and ever?  

Do you blame any chilonie whose children, whose husbands, died so that Chareidiem can learn, .......for saying "this is insane?" 

I don't get this, I come from a Charedie background, all I knew until I got married and had children were Charedim. I had little contact with non-frum Jews, even when I went to Brooklyn College, we frummies, hung out together and had little contact with goyim and not-frum Jews. I worked for frum Jews.  My first language was Yiddish and I didn't speak English until I was bar-mitzvah! 

I only knew survivors and even married a girl whose parents were survivors, but never did I hear such utter hate against other Jews, specifically, Zionists! I'm talking even from Satmar Chassidim, the survivors! They were all quietly proud of the State of Israel, they were all breathing a sigh of relief that we finally had a country after 2,000 years, and they all believed that this was all orchestrated by HKB"H! There was no doubt! 

Everything changed in 1967, when a Gadol who was ironically saved by a Zionist downplayed the six-day war success of the IDF and even said that the victory of the Zionists was from the Samach Mem! Just 23 years before, 6 million Jews were brutally murdered, but in 1967 Hashem decided to send that  Samach Mem" to help the IDF fight 4 Arab Nations and save the Jews?

I spoke about this a lot! Most survivors did not take him seriously at all, as most of them lost wives and children and all lost their parents! But what he did accomplish was that slowly  slowly like a leak ..drop by drop, he embedded a tremendous hatred in Klall Yisrael against the Land of Eretz Yisrael! 

Yes, you read that correctly, against the Land of Israel, and slowly the young, the children of these survivors who really had no idea what their parents went through, started slowly accepting this utter nonsense! 

In fact Rav Teicthtal speaks about this hate in reference vis-à-vis the opposition of Rabbanim to building the State:

"Not only did they oppose this undertaking, but they caused the simple, frum Jews to despise the rebuilding of the land so much that if one of them began to speak or get enthused about it, they considered him repulsive and abominable. They all rebuke him, saying, "You are a Zionist, an abhorrence, and an abomination." Thus, they have truly caused the desirable Land to be despised and detested. The simple man who does not know enough Torah to decide on his own whether this is true or not, chastises those who rebuild the Land. He shouts, "You are a sinner and a Zionist," for he wants to be considered devout and pious. "

Rav Teichtal adds and talks about those rabbanim who really did believe that frum Jews must partner with Zionists to develop the Land :

"These positive thoughts remain solely in their hearts. They would not dare express their thoughts in words, for they fear that they will be rebuked and considered repulsive, abominable Zionists."

Rabbi Teichtal hy"d wrote this in 1943 ...has anything changed? Nothing!!! 

On March 24 I posted an article about how the Aguda signed the Israeli Declaration of Independence!

 Someone commented and questioned the motive of the words in the Declaration, "Placing our trust in the "Rock of Israel" and said that the Zionists left it up to the reader to decide who "The Rock" was!

 Like the Meshiginar that I am, I argued with him! 

In retrospect, I should have just deleted his remarks, because the bottom line is....."Who cares?" Who cares what the author meant? No one is saying that the Zionists were Tzadiikim, but the bottom line is that they built a beautiful country where there is more Torah learned than anywhere in the entire world and where there isn't a visitor who is not amazed and enthralled by the sheer beauty of the Land! People coming for the first time, no matter their religious affiliation, fall in love immediately! 

Every single day I thank Hashem that I am living in Eretz Yisrael! 

Last week there was an asifa in Lakewood that made headlines! 

The Son and sons-in-laws of the late R' Shnuer Kotler z"l, the ones running Lakewood, an institution solely supported by schnorrerei, issued a Fatwa that everyone should close their gemarras and listen to speaker after speaker denounce the State that is the biggest supporter of Torah in the entire world! 

They were supposedly talking about the vote. meaning not to vote, but it was all about spewing hate with the vilest descriptions of people who are actually living in Israel! Please note, that Yaakov Aveenu was actually afraid of Eisav because Eisav was living in Israel!!!!!! But these speakers are not afraid to denounce the Zionists living in Israel with the most vile, despicable terms in the English lexicon. 

I am not going to go over the merits of voting for the WZO elections, it's been talked to death, and I know that I won't change anyone's mind!

 But how do thousands who thank G-d in benching for giving us Eretz Yisrael, who thank G-d in al ha'mechya for Eretz Yisrael, and who learned as children that the very first conversation that Hashem had with a Jew and Who then at this conversation gave him his very first mitzvah, which was for him to go to  Eretz Yisrael, and who learned that the very first conversation that Hashem had with Moshe was to tell him to bring the Jews to the Promised Land, how do they daven with a straight face to a G-d that is literally obsessed with the Land of Israel? 

How do they sit there listening to speakers for hours, deriding and denouncing that very Land! How do you guys live with yourselves? 

For G-d's sake, we are at war!!!! Give it a break already!!! 

You don't have other problems? 

This week the Chevra Kadish in the USA announced that they bury at least 3 suicide victims in the Charedie community every week, and that's not counting those who accidentally overdosed! We have a pandemic, but they get up to denounce the Zionists! 

How sick is this? 

I wonder if even one guy at the Asifa in Lakewood thought to himself, "Am I the only one thinking that this is perverted?" 

How out of touch with their very own communities were these speakers? 

I spoke previously about the Lakewood private chats whose members are in Kollel and who don't believe that Torah is Min 'shamayim r"l! There are women on these chats that say that they are only acting for the sake that their children don't get thrown out of Yeshiva and that their own husbands have no clue that they don't believe in a G-d r"l! One even said that he was a rav in a shul and doesn't know how long he can keep up this charade because he doesn't believe in the Torah r"l, he asks advice on how he should proceed! There are over 1,000 members on this chat! 

The Lakewood Vaad knows all about these chats, but is sweeping this under the rug! 

AHHHHH! But they are Zionists! 

Let me quote from the grandfather of the Chida, R' Avraham Azulai, in his sefer Chesed LeAvraham (Ma'ayan 3, Nahar 12)

"Anyone who lives in Eretz Yisrael is considered a tzaddik even though he is presumed to be wicked"

The sefer Nachala LeYisrael written by a great talmud chacham, a dayan in Ohel Hungary for more than 40 years, and who later moved to Tverya cites the Chesed LeAvrahanm I just quoted, but adds the following:

"Thus it is clear that we don't properly understand the true nature of the inhabitants of Eretz Yisrael with our physical eyesight. For man sees what his eyes behold, while Hashem sees into the heart. Therefore, we cannot judge or degrade specific individuals and certainly not the entire community, even those who do not favor in our eyes or do not act in a manner befitting our nation."

One of the speakers said that the Chofetz Chayim z"l warned about even speaking to the Zionists! 

Not one dummy listening to this nonsense confronted him to tell him that the Chofetz Chayim was nifter in 1933, which was BEFORE the State was established! And the CC was talking about the Zionists living IN Europe, he wasn't talking about the Zionists living in Eretz Yisrael and toiling its land,  in fact the CC bought an apartment in Petach Tikvah and was planning to make Aliyah! 

This speaker also invoked the name of R' Elchonon Wasserman hy"d, who was murdered in 1941, BEFORE the State was established! If R' Wasserman had made Aliyah he would have survived! In fact, his only surviving son R' Simcha did make Aliyah years later and established a Yeshiva there! 

Two years ago the Charedie Media made a big deal when the Satmar Rebbe, R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, brought $5 million dollars to Israel to give to those moisdois that claimed they weren't taking money from the Zionists! Looking at the numbers, this must have been a cruel joke, $5 million dollars can only last two weeks! 

And Satmar does take money from the Zionists, we pointed that out back in 2019 when we posted positive proof! 

But the bottom line is this, and you all may be shocked with this, but I live in Beit Shemesh and I get around and I talk to people all the time. The vast majority support the Zionist State of Israel... there I said it! 

It is the Rabbbanim, our leaders who are not reading their congregations right! The Rabbannim are totally disconnected and are clueless! And what is really crazy in Israel if your shul is registered and all Beit Shemesh shuls are, otherwise, they are dismantled, the leaders get a paycheck ...... guess from whom? 

Yup the Zionists! Yet they bite the hand that feeds them ..

The Ya'arot Devash (vol 1, on the bracha of Hasheiv Shofteinu) writes that all hardships that befall Klall Yisral are due to improper leaders." 

It must be Moshiach time, because the prophecy of the Gemarrah that פני דורו כפני כלב  has certainly come true!
