A senior haredi rabbi harshly attacked the attitude of Ashkenazi haredi society toward marriages between different ethnic communities.
In an interview on Kol Barama Radio, Rabbi Aharon Butbul, son-in-law of the late Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, was asked by a teacher from the Religious Zionist sector to advise him on how to respond to religious students who ask why there is such a large gap in inter-ethnic marriages between Ashkenazim and Sephardim in the haredi sector.
In his response, Rabbi Butbul, who also serves as regional rabbi of the Hevel Modi’in area and heads the “Yabia Omer" rabbinical court in Modi’in Illit, spoke bluntly.
“The Ashkenazi public is racist - this is the absolute truth," he said. “There is no way to sugarcoat reality."
He also noted that significant changes have taken place in other parts of religious society.
“In the Religious Zionist public, racism has been abolished, and also in the Chabad hasidic community," he said, adding, “In the haredi public, they are still living in the era of Antiochus the Wicked."
In the first several decades of the State, there was a lot of racism across the board. But now 3 generations later, most of it has disappeared. Except for the Chareidim for whom it's now a tradition to be hateful. What a chilul HaShem.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately they are racist
ReplyDeleteNo point of denying it we all know it’s true
Barak doing just fine on the Epstein tapes
ReplyDeleteWhy is DIN complaining when he’s racist against Falashas?
ReplyDeleteTotally different cultures. Would DIN be meshadech with Satmar? Also, many girls are afraid of being hit by Sfardi men. As it says in seforim, Yidden pick up certain middos from the goyim who rub off on them in their countries of origin. It’s commonplace in Arab lands for the man to strike his woman when he becomes angry. One of the infamous agunah cases in NY, that DIN claims to champion that whole parsha (when it suits him) involves an SY brutally hitting his wife & otherwise referring to her as “Chamora”, etc
ReplyDeleteYour entire comment confirms and validates my post, that "Ashkenazic Charedim are racists" Shkoach!
DeleteI was in fact "meshadich" with Satmar and with a Yemenite!
To me all Jews are the same!
They are afraid of "being hit by Sfardi men?" what a sick thing to say, why don't you visit Ottsville where you will find Charedim that not only did they hit their wives they actually murdered them. Satmar was just influential in getting Dreilich released ! Dreilich murdered his wife! How many girls did Weberman burn with his cigarettes? Hmmm?
Did you ever have your child in a Chasidishe Cheder, the rebbes beat the living daylights out of their children, I'll bet they beat their wives as well
BTW most of the Agunas whose husbands are withholding their gets are Charedim
Mr DIN was born satmar his yetzer hara just got the better of him and he hates yidden especially satmar with a terrible sinah he’s a nebach
DeleteFakeNews
DeleteFirst of all kindly address me properly I am not "Mr" I am "Rav DIN" I got smicha way before your father and mother decided to have you!
Second of all, where do you see that I"hate yideen?'
מי שפסול במימו פוסל
I never called Gedoilei Yisrael that had representation in the Knesset "Meenim & Apikorsim" I never called other Yidden that built a home for over 7 1/2 million Jews
לשם ולתפארת
"Eirav Rav"!
And I never davened that this Jewish State that has the most Torah learned since Har Sinai and more Torah learned than anywhere in the entire world.. and a State that contributed last month 1 Billion Shekels to Moisdos Ha'Torah ....I never davened that it should be destroyed!
So tell us again "Who hates Yidden?"
And I don't hate Satmar at all,
I love their chicken soup and Kishke!
