“I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.” Rav Kook z"l

The "Yenuka" Pays Mishpacha Magazine for a 10 page spread full of lies!

 


I cannot for the life of me figure out how people fall for this fake, fraud and phony! 
Below is a video of him telling rabbanim, that there isn't a Sefer ever written stating that "HKB"H forgives people for their sins." 
I guess this "genius" missed the Rambam's Mishna Torah where he has no less than 10 chapters on Hilchos Teshuva! 

He changes his name from "Shai Tzubari" then lying that his name that he uses now, Shlomo Yehuda Beeri" was always his name, he lies about, where he grew up (He grew up in Israel, studying in a co-ed school) 


Shai Tzubari (aka Yenuka)

No one has any idea who his rebbe was, and where he received his mesorah! 
No one knows what he does with the millions of dollars he received! He doesn't have a single "moisid" even the shul he davens in, is not his! 
No one knows why he dyed his peyos "blond" then dyed them back "black" after a massive uproar!


 What I am surprised is that they got Nachman Seltzer to paint an eloquent picture of "the greatest Tzadik of our generation." 
It's part interview with the Yenuka himself and part stories by a R' Asher (?)

The article talks about his anivus and mofsim. The Yenuka shares anecdotes from his childhood and completely leave out his love of money, honor and respect.
Nachman Seltzer makes him look like  a real Tzadik and Mekubal. 
Unfortunately this is the furthest from the truth.

Please do your homework and research before believing in anything you read, see or hear about the Yenuka.

Why are you obsessed with the Yenuka,
No one is asking you for money.
The people that go to him find his messages uplifting and bringing them closer spiritually to Hashem.
Everyone can choose their moreh derech.
If people find in him the message that gets them closer to hashem why does that bother you?
Were you ever by him? Did you ever speak with him?
Ask him where his money goes directly not on some public blog which he does not read.
He happens to be a person that reaĺy worked on himself so what if he came from a coed school that makes him all the more relatable to the masses.
You seem to have some grievance with him. It makes no sense to attack someone because he came from nothing and built himself up.
Speak to him yourself go to Rishon Letzion look at what he does how he talks to people if you dont like it, fine. Its not for you but why would you get in the way of someone who is pushing people for Shmeras Shabbos and Tharas Hamispocho.
Something does not add up here.

Because calling him "the Suckler" would be odd, I guess?
This claim that there is no book where it says "God doesn't forgive people for their sins" is bizarre. You don't have to go to "the seforim kedoshim" or sifrei halakha or even the Talmud. Just read the Chumash. Right there. He would have to know that and yet he says this?
But don't be surprised at Mishpachah. This is a magazine that thinks it's doing a mitzvah by erasing pictures of women who survived Auschwitz so there's no question they'll fall for this guy hook, line and sinker.

In 2026 did you ever hear of AI, I have a picture of the Rebbe giving my 9 year old a dollar does that prove the Rebbe is alive? Did you watch hasc? Reb Sholomo performed on stage a song he never sang.
Videos today dont prove anything. Who knows who produced that clip that people keep falling for.
No one is that stupid when you actually make the bracha bshem umalchus " כי אתה סלחן לישראל ומחלן לשבטי ישרון" either he never said it or If he did he will explain exactly what he meant possibly for a certain averoh like chillul hashem that only מיתה מכפרת. Ask him directly he's not unlearned.

If you listened you see he mentions no Midrash , Gemara or yerushalmi as the Pesukim speak about kapara for the entire Jewish people not an individual. It’s a good question he’s asking. How did it go from Klal Yisroel’s kaparra to Yom Kippur us focusing on ourselves as individuals.

I don't know him. If he is the real thing, great. If he is a fake, then his followers are cult members, which usually ends badly. Not complicated.

I am not "obsessed" with the Yenuka at all; the Yenuka is obsessed with the Yenuka!
The Mishpacha Mag piece on the Yenuka was paid for as indicated on the bottom of each page, if he is a "tzaddik" why does he have to pay for an article!
I don't need to ask him "directly" what he did with his money a simple search indicates that he bought himself million-dollar penthouses in Yerushalyim and elsewhere, which I will soon post !
I don't have any "grievance" with him; I am simply warning those out there that he is a charlatan and a fraud. He is also an am-haartz, yes. he has a great memory, but I listened to hours of his "Torah Lectures," and I will never ever get those hours back, as it was a waste of time; I learned nothing new!
I did speak to him as I went to visit him 6 months ago and I was creeped out by what I witnessed there. I wasn't impressed!

Every word that you wrote is 100% true, but that doesn't negate the fact that the Yenuka is a fake, fraud and phony, and is now tied up in multiple court cases in Secular Court- cases that he himself initiated against those exposing him as the Emperor with no clothes on!
Your comment that he never said that is an unmitigated lie as I know the people in the video and have spoken to them; they were in utter shock when they heard it! He wasn't talking about Chillul Hashem, you made that up, didn't you?
He is a fraud !

Are you repeating his shuttisim?
His question is not a question, and his answer is pure, unadulterated apikorsas!

You are also a fraud, as you first commented that he didn't say it, and now you are admitting that he did say it but he is right!

BUT just for the record DIN also knocked rav chaim kaniievsky BRACHOS LOL which was shocking to me

You cant have it both ways said...

You Grepps that the Yenuka grew up frey, has no rebbi & says problematic things. Fine. Now stop defending Rock salt Shteinzaltz who grew up among the diehard Chazir Fressing anti-Torah Shomer HaTzair, has no rebbi & says kefira. I guess I cant thank you in advance because you’re stubborn as a mule & won’t admit when you are wrong, even when you totally contradict yourself. Let’s see what weasel words you come back with. The dance is always the same

Dusiznies said...

You comparing this shtick "tenoifis" with lehavdil someone who wrote a pirush on the entire Shas and Tanach?
When Harav Hagoen Steinsaltz z"l had completed his first three mesactos, the Bais Yisrael of Gur, davka learned from his gemarrah, And though Artscroll doesn't give him credit, he started before Artscroll. You can hardly find a Bais Medrash in Ererz Yisrael that doesn't have a Steinsaltz Shas !
So you are comparing a charlatan to the great Talmid Chachim?
How sick and perverted are you? How low can you go?
What "kefira" did he say? That Shimshon Ha'Gibor was a "boor?" Well, I have news for you: practically all Rishonim hold like that!
This was an Artscroll campaign to discredit him!
The Yenuka never got smicha
Rav Steinsaltz got his semicha from Rav Moshe Tzvi Neria z"l and he learned as a teenager in Chabad Yeshivois, whereas the Yenuka learned by and large in secular schools,
Rav Steinsaltz grew up in Yerushalyim whereas the fraudster grew up in Spain but now lies about it!

Ezra Sofier said...

To You can't 9:53
I had to re-read multiple times your awful, disgusting comment about Harav Sthteinsalz z"l, to believe that a Frum Jew would write that.
I have been giving a Mishnayis Shiur for over 30 years and can tell you that one cannot get a complete understanding of Mishnayis Zeraim without Shteinsalz. We all had the Bartanura, the Yuchin Uboz and later Kehati, but there is absolutely no comparison in the pirush! All, I repeat all the Daf Hayoimie guys that give the shiurim such as Sruli Bornstein, Rav Stefanski, Rav Elefant, Rav Rosner Rav Gavriel Friedman mention Rav Steinsaltz!
He was the humblest of people, lived in a 2-bedroom walk-up, never considered himself a Moshiach, or as someone performing miracles, and never looked for followers. He never took money except for his salary. He kept quiet when the "Oilam Ha'Torah" turned on him, refusing to ever answer them, keeping his dignity throughout. He had a phenomenal photographic memory, yet he never spoke about it or addressed it. One just knew it by his commentaries in the days before Google.
For someone to denigrate and mock one of the greatest Torah people who lived in this generation is a reflection of the "Oilam Ha'Torah" of today!

DIN may as well direct those vile insults at the frierdik gadol hador Rav Schach who addressed the Shomer Hatzairnik as the koifer Mr. Steinzaltz. Pretty foolish of you to think your propaganda will be believed that Artscroll was dictating to the gadol hador what to say. In fact, Rav Schach is against Artscroll too for being oiver on Magid Devorov l’Yaakov

Don't get me started on Rav Shach z"l a man who hated a leader of thousands!
He also had bad judgment, as he was for the Oslo accords that was a direct cause of the murder of Jews during the intifadas!
And if he addressed anyone as a "koifer" I would take that with a grain of salt, as he was a huge hypocrite as well; he didn't recognize the State on one hand, then formed a political party with the other! .... Crazed Stuff!
BTW no one listens to Rav Shach on anything! Period!
He was the one who said only someone "whose Torah is Umnaso" is exempt from the army; everyone else must serve!

Didan Notzach? said...

He hated that someone was oiver on the Rambam tze halten zich Moshiach. The Brisker Rov already recognized the Meshichist meshugass in the Rebbe’s 1st published sicha in the early 50s. You know very well that most gedolim didn’t recognize the medina but still held that Charedi political parties are needed to protect interests. Don’t you pretend it was some novel daas yochid. Rav Shteinman also had his shita on IDF. Many Charedim agree with them but wont voice it on the street to avoid being attacked by Peleg

"oiver on the Rambam tze halten zich Moshiach."
I'm pretty familiar with the Rambam, can you please show me where he said that? Are you talking about his letter to Teiman?
Was the Ramchal "over on the Rambam?" Because he thought he was Moshiach, read Kisvei Ramchal!

R Shach made a political party to "protect his interests"
I thought being in the Knesset was Yeherag Ve'Lo Yaavor?
Bottom line, you are all a bunch of two-timing hypocrites, and that is the entire point of my blog: to point that out, and I thank you for proving my point!

faish said...

dus,
ive been reading the blog for years, i used to comment often but gave up.

The reason:You are a very subjective individual, its all black or white.
You have your lists of people ,groups you like and the ones you hate.
The ones you like you will accept no criticism as objective and valid even when its waving yellow flags in your face.The ones you hate:Anything and everything goes, outright lies, generalizations, half truths etc
You dont recognize grey. You can like someone, but they are not perfect or hate someone but accept that they can do good things.
You can also accept that you are not objective and keep those judgements off public boards.
Regarding the "Yenuka":I know very little about the man but lets objectively check out some of your your rants.
A promoted article in Mishpacha??
He has thousands of followers, who said he had anything to do with it?Some of the group you like have a non stop press of promoted publishing including recruiting top writers to publish basically promotional bios etc.
You have a snippet of a video with no context done by a critical source and you want objective people to accept that as Torah Mesinai??
Apparently he is a serious talmid chochom who has given shiurim in non kabbalistic torah, yeshiva style learning in front of thousands of people.
You also critique him for not wanting to share that he grew up non Chareidy? Why does he need to share that with everyone??
In fact he does share commonality with Rav Steinzaltz, although he comes from a traditional backround and Rav Steinzaltzs was secular (though steinzaltz's father hired a tutor for him because he did not want his son to be an am hooretz)Both are autodidacts Rav Steinzaltz did not spend very long in yeshiva and his scholarship did not come from his yeshiva studies. In fact had Steinzaltz spent more time in traditional yeshiva he would have avoided the minefield of academic descriptions of the biblical figures that Chareidi ears were unaccustomed to

I am answering you because I see you took the time to comment!

"Apparently he is a serious talmid chochom who has given shiurim in non-Kabbalistic Torah, yeshiva style learning in front of thousands of people."

He is not a serious Talmid Chachim, one can characterize him as a "Yodiah Sefer" at most!
I have listened to hours of his shiurim and I can tell you that I did not hear even ONE SINGLE Chiddush!
Aderaba, I will give you space to give us one Chiddush that this guy ever said in any of his shiurim! ONE!!!
Rav Steinsaltz wrote a pirush on the entire Shas and Tanach. As I mentioned before, the Daf Yomi Magedei Shiur, who collectively have the largest audience in the Torah world, quote him all the time when explaining a difficult sugyas, you don't have to believe me, you can go on All Daf and hear it for yourself!
Your comment
"In fact had Steinzaltz spent more time in a traditional yeshiva he would have avoided the minefield of academic descriptions of the biblical figures that Chareidi ears were unaccustomed to"
Well 95% of Charedim have never learned Tanach, so their "ears are unaccustomed" to anything anyone would say about any figure in Tanach.
Tell me, have you seen the commentary of the Radak, the Malbim, Mezudas Duvid, Mezudas Tzion, the Minchas Shai, and seen their descriptions of Tanach figures? Did you ever see how they describe Shlomo Hamelech?
I guess not! And neither did they!
To comment about the Yenuka in the same paragraph as the Torah Giant Rav Steinsalz is heresy!

Rav Hirsch mentions one reason in his pirush on the Siddur why he opposes any hashkofa like of Rabbiner Kalischer. Eli Meir Klugmann in his Artscroll bio of RSRH documents some of his opposition. Just a few days ago Avraham Broide in his Strange Side of History column in Yated Magazine writes that Rav Hirsch dismissed Rabbiner Kalischer as a Bar Kochba wannabe who was a big failure. And Rabbiner Kalischer was takka mostly not matzliach in any of his efforts. He describes Rav Hirsch as the biggest misnagid of Rabbiner Kalischer lamenting that his misguided notion of a “mitzvah” was a type of koichee v’oitzem yadi

With all due respect to Rav Hirsch, his policy led up to the destruction of 6 million innocent Jews 1,5 of whom were children! His entire community was driven out of Germany, and the rest brutely murdered; he is buried in the land that murdered the most Jews in world history in Frankfurt!

" Leader & savior of German Jewry?"""
I wonder what the families of 165,000 to 180,000 German Jews who were murdered would say about that?
I'm wondering if th ancestors of those Jews would have ignored the Anti-Zionist sermons and rants of Rav SRH and instead taken to heart what Harav Tzvi Hirsch Kalisher z"l was saying that Jews need to return, their descendants would have survived!
The RBS"O gave many signs that Jews need to return but frum Jews and their rabbanim ignored them, and they were murdered; those that managed to flee in the 30's and early 40's that saw the signs survived.
Of course I am speaking of those who had the financial means.

RSH saved a very small, tiny handful; most of the Yekkes fell for the Haskala and intermarried. RSH fought very hard but ultimately lost the battle.
The ones who saved the German Jews were the Nazis, actually.
The Nuremberg Laws forced Jews to become Jews. As October 7 made many leftists, frum, in addition, Chassidim who were the ones that coined the term "yekkes' were directly responsible for many Jews to move to Poland and become Chassidim. RSH saved practically no one!

RZH Kalischer wrote to Rav Akiva Eiger & other gedolim to farkoif another dangerous pipe dream - reestablishing korbanos. There was immediate uproar & backlash against him so he didn’t dare publicly push that silliness again.

And talk about Losers. He & his son went around Shnorring for EIGHT years for his Tzioni meshugass but didn’t get anywhere. Then he reached out to Napoleon III who totally ignored him. His only endeavor that got off the ground whatsoever was when he got the French Alliance on board. Those are the Koifrim responsible for millions of Sefardim becoming frei. “Good” score there, DIN.

The top two talmidim of Reb Akiva Eiger, Rav Yehuda Guttmacher and Rav Tzvi Hirsh Kalisher, were deeply influenced by Reb Akiva Eiger's teachings
Rav Guttmacher supported settling Eretz Yisrael, and there is actually a religious Kibbutz named after him called Sdei Eliyahu. Rav Kalischer advocated agricultural settlement, and so did Rav Yisrael Salanter; their collective ideas helped lay the groundwork for later religious Zionism, which eventually laid the foundation for a Jewish home for the majority of the Jewish people. Because of their groundwork, the State of Israel is a flourishing country, with one of the strongest economies in the entire world. More Torah is being learned in Israel than anywhere in the entire world, There are more Moisdois Ha'Torah in EY than anywhere else.
One can see the prophecies of Yermiyahu, Amos, and Yechezkel come true in our lifetime. The ingathering of the exiles is a much bigger miracle than Yetzias Mitzrayim, at Yetzias Mitzrayim all Jews lived in one place , Egypt and yes it was a great mirackle to take גו מקרב גו
but the miracle of the ingatherng now, is millions of Jews returning home from all 4 corners of the world

Yocheved Steiner a Yekke said...

I am very sober, RSRH, though a fighter of Haskala and Zionism, ultimately failed in both of these battles, he did too little, too late. Most German Jews joined the Haskala and assimilated.
Zionists, though, remained Jews and married within the community.
It seems that RSRH never learned from his own history that the German Jews 800 years prior believed that Mainz was Yerushalayim. and were all annihilated during the First Crusade !
RSRH was not alone in his anti-Zionism; most Orthodox Rabbanim in Europe were also anti-Zionist. History has proven that they were all wrong, and their followers paid a bitter price!

Satmar Bias? said...

Someone in KJ wrote a sefer that’s an anthology of all Kadmonim on pandemics. He names 3 rabbonim who were against R’ Yisroel Salanter getting up to eat in shul on Yom Kippur. One of them is Kalischer & he provided a mareh makom. Let me guess, now DIN & co are going to scream that the KJ mechaber is bashmutzing him for being Zionist?

More accurate picture said...

I cant necessarily blame DIN for this because he probably got it from a few Zionist mechabrim who blow R’ Eliyohu Guttmacher’s Zionism way out of proportion. Yes he was a friend as a bochur of Rav Kalisher. And yes he encouraged aliyah. BUT - Rav Guttmacher along with the Aruch leNer were focused on it mainly for the purpose of opening yeshivos there. They certainly weren’t hobnobbing & collaborating with the Alliance Maskilim like Rav Kalisher.

Satmar actually admires Rav Tzvi Hirsch z"l and they have a 2 page spread on his life every single year on his Yurzeit in Der Yid, Der Blatt and Der Zeitung, without of course mentioning that he was a founder of the Choivevei Tzion movement, a movement that was the catalyst for young frum people making Aliyah in the late 1800's and early 1900's!
I don't give a crap about the YK eating story; I know a lot of Satmar OTD who hold frum this Gezirah of R Yisrael Salanter and eat every Yom Kippur!

This was "because of this" and "that was because of that " the bottom line both were from the founders of the Zionist movement called "Choivevei Tzion" and both were from the top talmidim of Rav Akiva Eiger! It was because of their effort that contributed and laid the groundwork for the establishment of the State of Israel, B"H

That's so ridiculous and delusional. Before you talk about collaboration though, your top ravs collaborated and supported Democrats who stand for toeva, atheism, and immorality just for a few bucks and favors. Where should we start?

Rabbi Kalisher didn't take pay as a rabbi. How many millions and motorcades do your hasidic rabbis have?
