I'll start with Yom HaShoah!
Jews around the world celebrate Purim with Megillah readings, masquerading, and eating a Seuda! Some even celebrate 3 days, like we had this year!
Let me ask a stupid question!
How many Jews did Haman kill??
The answer is, of course, ZERO! Haman didn't kill one single Jew, yet we make sure to remember every year that he tried!
Hitler ym"s murdered 6 million Jews and changed the lives of millions that survived, forever, and yet there isn't a single day set aside to commemorate the single worst calamity to have befallen the Jewish people in its entire history!
In just about 10 years, there won't be a single survivor to tell the story!
Finally, Zionists set one special day for all of us to remember that awful period! One part of the ceremony that they perform that day is that they blow the Siren for two minutes to give pause and remember the innocent men, women, and children who were so brutally murdered!
You would think that Frum Jews in Israel would honor those two minutes and stand with millions of their own brothers and sisters to be part, albeit for just two minutes, to be one unit!
Think again!! They have all kinds of excuses!!
"Zionists!" "The Rabbis say it is bittul Torah!" "It's in Chodesh Nissan" "The Rabbis set aside Tisha Be'ov"
Bla Bla Bla Bla!!
Let's move on to Yom Ha'zikoron!
With Yom Ha'Zikoron there is no excuse that it is in Chodesh Nissan! Because Yom Ha'Zikoron is in Iyar!
Yom Ha'Zikoron commemorates all Jews who have fallen, including those civilians murdered by terrorists! There isn't a Jew living in Israel that you bump into who doesn't have a relative who fell or got injured in the wars!
I had the occasion to visit Har Herzl and noticed an entire area dedicated to very young people who died fighting so that Jews from the entire world could live in the country! The dead had all been in concentration camps, and when liberated, arrived in 1946, 1947, and took arms to make sure we have a country that would admit ALL Jews! Some of the dead were teenagers!
I was sitting in Kollel when the Siren blew for two minutes! My Chabura stood up and remained silent for two minutes! The rest of the "yungerleit" continued as if nothing had happened! Mind you, in the shul where the Kollel is housed, there are families that have children who were injured! Across the street from this kollel were three funerals this year, of young men who were murdered in Gaza!
Those learning in the kollel, are young guys who are the friendliest, nicest people that you would ever encounter! What they won't do to help a fellow Jew! Yet here they are, totally ignoring the siren on purpose! Immediately after the siren, some get up to get a coffee or a bite of mezonos and carry on!
I'm thinking, what just happened? Should I say something?
The answer is that they are really good, kind people, but are totally disconnected and oblivious to what is happening around them! They do follow the news because I hear their conversations, and they do run out of Kollel like poisoned rats during a missile siren, but feel that all this has nothing to do with them!
I'm not even going to talk about Yom Ha'atzmot, but many did run out early to make the traditional "al ha'eish" a bar-b-q with their young families!
But my question is this:
I waited a full a full week to see if the frum Anglo Jewish Media would even give these days an "Honorable Mention"? ZERO!!!!! Nada !
Millions of Jews commemorate these days, like it or not, and not one word!
Let me share with you a sampling of what the Flatbush Jewish Journal's "Centerfold" displayed!
A series of photos of the Children of the Yeshivah Torah Temima visiting Dr. Norowitz's office, Photos of pre-school children of Yeshiva Torah Vodass enjoying the outdoors!
All this while millions of Jews were running to shelters, dodging Houthi ballistic Rockets!
I am not even asking that they write something nice, is it too much to ask that they write a 12-sentence article about an event that is commemorated by Millions of Jews??
The gemarrah in Taanis discusses minor tragic events that happened to Jewish people, but we are frummer than the gemmarrah!

The frum media is the Chareidi equivalent of Pravda. Only that which it thinks its readers should know about is reported.
My favourite (other than the occasional obituaries for non-Chareidi luminaries where the authority is downgraded from zt'l to a plain z'l) is how the passing of Rav Steinsaltz, zt"l, a man who spent decades being marbitz Torah across the globe but especially in Israel, was completely ignored.
I can always count on DIN to shill for the eyniklach! Let’s keep that our little secret that hopefully the Oylam Goylam readers are unaware of Torah shebaal peh that grandson Haman, like all goyim, gets punished for murdering gantz Klal Yisroel even though his plans were thwarted. Mi keAmcha that some Jews stick up for grandson Haman!
"we are frummer than the gemmarrah!"
No! We are not on their madreigeh to be mesaken anything like that. Now stop this charade because as everyone knows most of the events comemorated thousands of years ago were made bottul by later gedolim. To bash Mordy Mehlman (one of your favorite punching bags) you are going to have to dig deeper than this lazy attempt.
Shtussim mit Chareidim
"most of the events commemorated thousands of years ago were made bottul by later gedolim"
The key word "later gedoilim"
With the Holocaust the "gedoilim" never even made an event! They didn't have to mevateil something they totally ignored!!
Amelek Chareidie
Oh wow!!! "all goyim, gets punished for murdering gantz Klal Yisroel" Wow!
HOW ABOUT SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY KILLED MILLIONS OF INNOCENT JEWS AND HAD NO EINAKLACH!!!
OMG ..Perverted sicko!
You know what? We don't need Haman plotting to kill Jews and we don't need his einaklach learning Torah! How about that?
הזהיר החרדים פר‘ נ“ט ”אבל הבאים לא“י ואין שמים על לב כי הם בהיכל
המלך ומורדים ופושעים ומרבים במשתאות של סעודת מריעות ומרזחים,
עליהם הכתוב אומר ירמיה ב, ז ותבואו ותטמאו את ארצי ונחלתי שמתם
לתועבה,
וכתיב ישעיה א, יב כי תבואו לראות פני מי בקש זאת מידכם רמוס
חצרי“, וכעין זה כתב השל“ה סו“פ בחוקתי.
Steinsaltz made you religious ? So now he must be the biggest man on the planet ?
2:44
I guess the Chareidm and you forgot the prophecy that was read this past Shabbos by Amos where the Ribbono Shel Olam promises that He will never throw Jews out of Eretz Yisrael ever again!
ושבתי את-שבות עמי ישראל ובנו ערים נשמות וישבו ונטעו כרמים ושתו את-יינם ועשו גנות ואכלו את-פריהם. ונטעתים על-אדמתם ולא ינתשו עוד מעל אדמתם אשר-נתתי להם אמר ה' אלוקיך
in addition, the Chessed Le'Avraham states:
"Anyone who lives in Eretz Yisrael is considered a tzaddik"
This past shabbos
Well then, from your favorite cherrypicked source(oy, he is turning over in his grave)
”ותטמא הארץ ואפקוד עונה עליה ותקיא הארץ את יושביה“,י“ח כ“ה
מבואר כאן שארץ ישראל אינה סובלת את עם ישראל בשעה שהם חוטאים.
והרמב“ן כאן האריך לבאר שארץ ישראל היא נחלת הקב“ה ולא נמסרה לידי
מזלות או מלאכי עליון, ולכן היא מקיאה כל מי שמטמא אותה בעבירות,
No he did not make me religious but he made Gemara understandable for me and a pleasure to learn. Something he did for hundreds of thousands if not millions of Jews.
Haman's grandsons learned Torah in Bene Beraq.

LOL!!!! Your "proof" actually bolsters my post! Ha Ha!!
The fact that the Zionist State grew from 650,000 Jews in 1948 to close to 8 million Jews in 2025 proves that HKB"H loves those living in Eretz Yisrael!
Instead of spitting us out, the Zionist State embraces and welcomes every single Jew!! The Zionists, yes the secular Zionists, initiated and built a beautiful country לשם ולתפארת and they get the credit for the gathering in of the exiles! , Despite the wars, the Wall Street Journal had a poll just 2 weeks ago that Israel is the 5th happiest country in the world.
Talking about "cherry picking, the entire Va'Yoel Moshe cherry picks and misinterprets entire Chazals!
First, clean your own dirty house!
I suggest you quickly buy a home here in Israel because it looks like your own neighbors are going to round you up a lot quicker then we thought!
In the past year Beit Shemesh built over 10,000 apartments and they are all sold to frum foreigners who are not worried about the land spitting them out they are worried that their host country in Chul will spit them out and hopefully not shove them into gas chambers!

R’ Abba in Sanhedrin (98a) states:
ואמר רבי אבא אין לך קץ מגולה מזה שנאמר ואתם הרי ישראל ענפכם תתנו ופריכם תשאו ופריכם תשאו לעמי ישראל
“There is no clearer sign of the End of Days than this pasuk “But You, O mountains of Israel, will give forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel [for they are soon to come]”
Rashi comments: “When Eretz Yisrael gives forth its fruit in abundance, the End will be near, and there is no clearer [sign of the ] End [of days].
Walk the streets of Beit Shemesh and every second home has fruit trees with beautiful, luscious trees! Mind you Beit Shemesh is in a desert and we are fortunate to witness these prophecies come to true in our lifetime! Even a blind man can see these miracles!
The haftorah of Amos that DIN quoted actually predicted to what is going on in Israel for the last 77 years!
It states that ובנו ערים נשמות , THEY will build up cities that were destroyed, וישבו ונטעו כרמים ושתו את-יינם ועשו גנות ואכלו את-פריהם
THEY will plant vineyards, They will drink its wine, THEY will make gardens and eat its fruit!
Walk the streets of Yerushalyim and there isn't a block that doesn't have massive construction! Drive on Route 1 and pass through miles of fruit orchards! It is clear as day that the Zionist help make all this come true!
And Hashem swore to never chase the Jews out of Israel ever again, see the Alshich that says that even if the residents are not observing Torah!
I think that 6:47 should start quoting from the New Testament; he is clearly no match for DIN's knowledge of Tanach!
'Your "proof" actually bolsters my post!' Nebach
Suuuurrrrrre thing,as that's what they retorted to Yirmiyahu
Though the mills of God grind slowly; Yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience He stands waiting, With exactness grinds He all.
& what if the Alshich was wrong?As if you Slifkin ,BP, etc.,guys don't belittle them for everything else they believe?
6:05
So are you saying that the Alshich Hakodosh was wrong??
11:04
Are you saying that when Amos prophesied that HKB"H will never ever again remove or like you said "spit" out Klall Yisrael from Eretz Yisrael, that this prophecy is wrong???
Especially when we tolerate the public flouting of everything else the נביאים demanded. We likely can only be sure how much it does pertain,once the present era has already passed.
They may "grind slowly" for the Jews hiding in Chul, but the Ribono Shel Olam states unequivocally that "He will never ever again throw Jews out of Israel! "
No Vayoel Moshe can twist this into anything else; the message is clear as day!
Straightforward resolution seeming nonviable aka bas kol
