Mishpacha Editor to Yoeli Landau: Leave Israel’s Elections to Its Own Rabbanim

 


 This is how this Landau guy makes money:

His first project was buying an old home that was not allowed to be made into a nursing home. He bought it a half price due to the restriction. He then farnegiled and bought off people and did it anyway. Almost sat in jail for that but there was some technicality he got off.

Later and just recently he (and some other yidden) bought into the biggest Nursing home conglomerate that was extremely financially stable. Once they got the voting power they milked it for what it was is was worth, buying up real estate with theit hefty money and good credit. One day it is in bankruptcy and then tried buying it back for pennies on the dollar, except for the good graces of the Judge that blocked them from buying it!
Just look closely at the news. A nice way to make money – Boruch Ha’Shem

The editor at the Orthodox Jewish publication Mishpacha took a pointed swipe at Brooklyn Satmar philanthropist Yoeli Landau following unconfirmed reports circulating online that he plans to travel to Israel ahead of the country’s elections.

The reports allege that Landau intends to arrive Tuesday and set up an office in Jerusalem’s Har Hotzvim neighborhood, where he would collect the identity cards and passports of yeshiva students who pledge not to vote in the elections. According to the circulating claims, participants would receive $500 at the end of the day.

The allegations have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether the reported arrangement exists or whether Landau plans to travel to Israel.


Responding to the reports, the Mishpacha editor addressed Landau in a sarcastic Hebrew message, urging him to remain in the United States and leave Israel’s electoral affairs to its own religious community.

“The United States is vast enough to accommodate all your good deeds and provide you with plenty of attention, recognition and respect,” the editor wrote.

“Please bid us farewell, stay there, and leave election day here to the faithful of Israel. Everyone will follow the guidance of their respective rabbinic leaders. On this matter, we’re doing just fine without your help.”

The remarks reflect tensions surrounding the role of American Jewish philanthropists in Israel’s political affairs and the influence of outside figures on the voting decisions of the country’s religious community.
