FJJ Letter to the editor critical on Yom Ha'Atzmaut Celebrations
ובני קורח לא מתו
It bothers this Yeshivishe shoiteh, that we have B"H a State that over 7 1/2 million Jews live in, and want to show appreciation for this great miracle.
Then as an aside, he throws in:
MU writes that
"All our Gedoilim post WW2 opposed and strongly held not to celebrate or say Hallel on this day"
I am not going into whether we should say Hallel on Yom Ha'Atzmaut or not, but his statement is an unmitigated lie!
The following are just some Rabbanim that said Hallel:
Rabbi Meshulam Roth (Shu"t Kol Mevaser) — one of the earliest poskim to rule for Hallel with a beracha after 1948.
Rabbi Yehuda Gershuni — ruled similarly to Rav Roth.
Rabbi Shaul Yisraeli — supported Hallel with a beracha.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef — supported Hallel without a beracha (a more cautious but still affirmative ruling).
Rabbi Herzog, Rabbi Unterman, Rav Yehuda Kook,
Below is a photo of Gedoilei Yisrael saying Hallel and celebrating Yom Ha"atzmaut
 |
| Seen in this photo the Sadiger Rebbe, Harav Shatzroviski, the Rebbe of Boyhush |
Then as an aside, he throws in:
"True the Ponivetcher Rav did put out an Israeli flag on the Yeshiva dormitory, for other reasons"
First of all it wasn't on the dormitory that he put the flag on, it was on the Bais Medrish itself that Rav Kahanaman instructed that they put an Israeli flag!
Second of all, what WERE the "other reasons?"
Everyone knows the reason, the reason was to give Hakoras Hatoiv to the Medina! Why can't he just say it?
Then he says that
"the Chazon Ish, Brisker Rav, Rav Moshe Feinstein and Tshebiner Rav, were against it"
So here we have a guy that calls himself "MU," lives in the USA and does not at all listen to any of their rulings, he chose to name these Gedoilim only to bash the only Jewish State in the world!
Let's first deal with the Chazon Ish who lived in Eretz Yisrael. He paskened lehalacha that living in Eretz Yisrael is a biblical mitzva according to the Rambam and the Ramban and that this is a obligation in the here and now!
ומצות ארץ ישראל הוכרעה על ידי הרמב"ם והרמב"ן ושאר פוסקים, וידוע עד כמה שאף החפץ חיים זללה"ה לעלות
הרצון שתיהיה ארץ ישראל מיושבת מישראל, והרי אנו חייבים בישובה ודור בה גם בגלותנו וכמו שהא הר"מ פרק ה מהלכות מלכים (קובץ אגרות חזון איש ..ומכתב קעה)
MU doesn't really care about the Chazon Ish's pask that one must live in Eretz Yisrael, because we see that he lives comfortably in Flatbush, and sees nothing in the irony of him lecturing us that that the Chazon Ish was against saying Hallel!! He picks and chooses which CI suits his anti-Israel agenda!
The Brisker Rav also lived in Eretz Yisrael and was a vehement proponent of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael and held that once someone even comes to Eretz Yisrael, he cannot leave, in fact Briskers never leave Eretz Yisrael. MU chooses to highlight a political view of the Brisker Rav who opposed the State, but lived there nevertheless and advocated for those in Galuth to move to Israel! Again MU names a Gadol only for his hateful agenda!
Rav Moshe Feinstein, also holds that Yishuv E"Y is a mitzva min HaTorah
ובדבר שאלתך אם יש מצוה עכשיו לדור בארץ ישראל כהרמב"ן או כהרבינו חיים בתוספות כתובות קי. אי דאינה מצוה בזמן הזה. הנה רוב הפוסקים סברי דהוא מצוה
שבודאי יש מצוה (שו"ת אגרות משה חלק יו"ד ג סימן קכב)
Tshebiner Rav also lived in Eretz Yisrael, and acknowledged the state as a reality, he was a strong advocate for every Jew to live in Israel.
Then this MU guy, tells a story about the Chazon Ish about a guy who stopped saying Tikkun Chazos after the State was established, "I cannot understand, is this what he was waiting for, a country that has intentions to be oiker Torah? " I don't know if this story is even true, because if you read the Steipler's 5 Volume Bio, he states that 99% of all Chazon Ish stories were made up!
It turns out that in retrospect, if the story is true, that the Chazon Ish's prediction did not come to fruition as the Zionist State is now the largest makom Torah in the entire world, and the Zionist Government is the largest contributor to Torah in history!
Then he quotes Rav Elchonon Wasserman hy"d which every Yeshivishe Shoiteh quotes, to denigrate the founders of the only Jewish State and who built a home for ALL Jews, לשם ולתפארת! Rav Elchonon was in the USA when WW2 broke out and didn't want to leave his students alone in Europe and so he returned and was murdered. If there was a State then, Rav Elchonon and his Talmidim would have survived!
But he doesn't follow Rav Elchonon either.
This is what Rav Elchonon wrote in his Sefer קובץ מאמרי עקבתא דמשיחא
( ישיבת אור אלחנן תשס"ב עמוד קמה)
ארץ ישראל תופסת מקום עיקרי בתורה. שלשה סדרים בש"ס קשורים בארץ ישראל.... חלק גדול של שלשה הסדרים הנשארים אף הוא קשור בארץ ישראל
כמעט שני שלישי הש"ס תלויים בארץ ישראל אותו יחס מספרי גם בחומש. מובן על כן כי ארץ ישראל היא צורך חיוני לישראל
מלבד זה, הרי ישוב ארץ ישראל הוא מצוה בפני עצמה
MU lives in luxury in the USA, quotes Gedoilim that he doesn't listen to, but he lectures us!
MU totally takes out the Ribono Shel Olilim out of the equation of the establishment of the State! He doesn't think that the RBS"O had anything to do with it!
He states that Torah grew in the State "despite the State" and that the "ruchniyois is very weak in Israel"
What a bald-faced liar!
"Ruchniyois is very weak in Israel?" Mamesh Loshon Hara not only on the Land but on it residents!
What is this "mereigel" even talking about? There are more Moisdois Hatorah in the Zionist State of Israel than any other place on earth! I'll bet that this MU tzaddik probably hangs out on the beach when he visits Israel!
All these Yeshivishe morons say that Torah grew "despite" the State!
No it didn't!
Who supports ALL Torah institutions making it possible for all these Kollilim? The Zionists!
Just 3 months ago, the State gave 800 million Shekel to Torah institutions!
It's not "despite" ...The Zionists are the largest contributors to torah in Jewish history!
I don't know who this MU shoiteh is, but it's important to point out, that this is the crap that is being fed to our children in our moisdois.
They cannot get over that the State is here to stay until "bee'as ha'Moshiach" it's vibrant, it's from the 5 best economies in the world, has the best army, and the people are from the top 8 of the happiest in the world, despite being in a war. Real estate prices is through the roof, with people falling over themselves to buy property so they will have a place when they come rounding them up!
The fight that the "gedoilim" had with Zionists was over 75 years ago! No one has ever been stopped from learning Torah in the State, these are all lies that have been proven wrong over and over, but they need to keep this "Zionist is bad" thing going on so they can stay in Chutz Leaaretz!
It won't be too long when they all come running to the Zionist State! Even Satmar is looking to build a yishuv in the North!
Charedeim may join the left !
The article below, published by Matzav, reports that the Charedi parties are contemplating joining the political left faction that they have opposed for decades — one whose values go against Torah ideals.
To be clear, these parties are led by their gedolim, who will likely grant permission for their representatives to “jump ship” and align with the opposition if they don’t receive what they want from the right‑wing bloc.
This development reinforces what I’ve written for years: the Charedim, as a political entity, are not focused on what’s best for the country. They have become disconnected from the broader Klal Yisrael. They will join forces with Lieberman, even with Arab parties, if that’s what it takes to secure their interests — while the rest of the nation, in their view, can go to hell.
Israel is at war with enemies who openly seek her destruction. Yet ask the average Charedi, and you’ll find little awareness or concern. It’s not that they don’t know what’s happening — it’s that they don’t care.
Where is the Ribono Shel Olam in all this? Isn’t there a concept of hishtadlus — of voting for the party that best aligns with Torah values and then trusting Hashem to do the rest?
Oh! That's for the naive sheep, the concept of trusting in Hashem is not for Gafni or Goldknopf or even their leaders, that concept is for "hamoin am"
A sharply worded post published by Tuvia Smotrich, brother of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, succeeded in putting into words a fear that has been quietly circulating within Israel’s right-wing camp for quite some time:
the possibility that the chareidi parties, after the current crisis surrounding the draft law, may seriously begin considering cooperation with the left.
Pay Child Support or lose your US Passport
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to expand enforcement of a federal law allowing the government to revoke U.S. passports from individuals owing more than $2,500 in unpaid child support.
According to U.S. officials cited by the AP, the U.S. Department of State will soon begin proactively revoking passports using data shared by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, rather than waiting for people to apply for renewals or consular services. The policy stems from a 1996 federal law but marks a significant escalation in enforcement.

Israel is building tiny robots inside your body.
Researchers at the Technion have developed DNA origami nanorobots, programmable microscopic machines (just 100 nanometers wide) made entirely from DNA.
These tiny “robots” navigate through the bloodstream, detect specific cancer cell markers, and then deploy a targeted toxin directly into tumors, while completely sparing healthy cells.
In recent trials on aggressive cancers, they’ve shown incredible precision and effectiveness.
This isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s Israeli innovation turning the body into its own battlefield against disease.
From the lab bench to potentially saving millions of lives worldwide.

Frum Teen raped in NYC after Uber driver failed to check ID
The family of a 16-year-old Long Island girl who was allegedly raped in NYC by a man she met on Snapchat is holding Uber partly responsible for their daughter’s nightmare.
The Orthodox Jewish victim was taken without question to Brooklyn, where she met up with a man she met on Snapchat who sexually assaulted her in his car, and filmed it, her family claimed in a lawsuit against the ride-share company.
“As a result of this assault, my daughter was caused severe physical and emotional harm,” her mother said in court papers.
The nightmare began March 10, when the teen left her “tight-knit” upper middle class home in Nassau County and got into an Uber allegedly ordered for her by the attacker, according to court papers.
The girl’s night should have ended right then, her family contended.
Uber bars strangers from calling for rides for passengers under 18, and youngsters are not supposed to ride alone, unless they have a specific account intended for teenagers, according to the company.
“When picking up riders, if you feel they are underage, you may request they provide a driver’s license or ID card for confirmation. If a rider is underage, please do not start the trip or allow them to ride,” according to the company’s web site.

*MAJOR WIN FOR REPUBLICANS:* Virginia Supreme Court OVERTURNS redistricting referendum, strikes down Democrat gerrymandered map.
“Eff around and find out”: That taunt from Hakeem Jeffries celebrating Virginia’s gerrymander did not age well.
On Friday, the House minority leader found out that Virginia’s Supreme Court was not quite as gleeful as he about Democrats’ attempt to virtually eliminate Republican representation in the purple state.
The court just cooked the party’s infamous lobster, a district over 100 miles long that was designed to help devour the GOP’s slender majority in the House of Representatives.
It also cooked the ambitions of Gov. Abigail Spanberger and the Democratic establishment, which tossed aside any pretense of principle in a raw political gambit.
The resulting faceplant is nothing short of legendary: Spanberger’s Democrats have succeeded in alienating half of the state.
For the governor, the court’s decision was particularly embarrassing.

Inside Israel’s $210 Million Mega-Mansion as Billionaire Owner Slashes Price by $50 Million Amid Luxury Market Slowdown*
A massive Caesarea estate owned by Russian-Israeli billionaire Valery Kogan is back on the market with a reported $210 million asking price, even after a huge cut from its original sticker.
The mansion has Italian marble, 14-karat gold details, nearly 10,000 square feet of spa space, two kosher kitchens, and enough luxury to make it less of a house and more of a private palace. But the real story is bigger, Israel’s luxury market is still alive, just far more selective.
Israel built and defended secret base deep in Iraqi desert to support Iran air campaign
Israel set up a secret military base in the Iraqi desert to support its aerial campaign against Iran, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing US officials and other sources.
According to the sources, Israel built the base shortly before the war began in late February to serve as a hub for logistics to support the Israeli Air Force.
It also housed special forces troops and search-and-rescue teams, the report says.
To protect the outpost, Israeli troops even launched airstrikes against Iraqi forces who nearly discovered it in early March, the report adds.
The strikes killed one Iraqi soldier, Baghdad said at the time, after Iraqi media reported that a local shepherd witnessed “unusual military activity,” including helicopters and gunfire in a remote area. According to the Journal, the Israeli strikes succeeded in deterring Iraqi forces from further investigation.
Iraq, which initially blamed the attack on the Americans, said: “This reckless operation was carried out without coordination or approval.”
The US was not involved in the operation, sources tell the American outlet.
“It appears there was a certain force on the ground before the strike,
supported from the air, operating beyond the capabilities of our units,” a top Iraqi military official said at the time.
The report points to statements made by Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar in March, when he said that special forces had been conducting “extraordinary” operations during the conflict with Iran.
“The troops of the air force’s special units are currently carrying out extraordinary missions that can spark one’s imagination,” Bar said, without elaborating further.
According to an expert speaking to the Journal, the western desert of Iraq, where the reported base was located, is a perfect spot for a clandestine military outpost, given its sparse population and vast size.
“It’s normal that before operations you reconnoiter and set up these kinds of locations,” says Michael Knights, the head of the Horizon Engage intelligence firm.
The IDF declines to comment on the report.

“Nazi!”: Chareidi IDF Soldiers Attacked By Charedie Mob During Banned Lag BaOmer Celebrations In Meron
It seems that these R' Shimon ben Yochai celebrations in Meron are bringing the worst out of people!
R' Shimon was a Tanna and would have been very happy if they all stayed home and learned!
This proves that this entire event is a sham!
All my life I couldn't understand why someone would be attracted to Avoda Zara, but watching the events that unfolded in Meron with hundreds hiking for hours with babies to get to the banned Meron Lag Be'omer site, to dance around a fire and praying to someone who died over 2,000 years ago explains it all!
It is no wonder that the RBS"O didn't want anyone to know where Moshe Rabbeinu was buried to avoid this scene!
וַיִּקְבֹּ֨ר אֹת֤וֹ בַגַּי֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מוֹאָ֔ב מ֖וּל בֵּ֣ית פְּע֑וֹר וְלֹא־יָדַ֥ע אִישׁ֙ אֶת־קְבֻ֣רָת֔וֹ עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
A Chareidi soldier in IDF uniform was verbally assailed at Kever Rashbi during Lag B’Omer celebrations Monday night, as thousands of pilgrims overwhelmed authorities attempting to contain the crowds.
Video footage posted to social media showed a group of men surrounding two armed soldiers, one wearing a yarmulka and sporting payos, while shouting at them. One soldier was called a “Nazi” during the confrontation.
Despite IDF Home Front Command restrictions capping outdoor gatherings at 200 people and indoor events at 600, tens of thousands arrived at Meron for Lag BaOmer.
Clashes between attendees and law enforcement erupted throughout the night. In one instance, Chareidi men threw plastic chairs and water bottles at police officers stationed nearby.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited Meron and praised police for their restraint, describing their approach as “gentle” while urging the public to avoid traveling there.
Magen David Adom paramedics reported 23 injuries. One person sustained a moderate head wound, while the remainder suffered light injuries.
Rivki Blau would rather her children die than go off the derech

Where did I learn that giving over your children to the "moilich" an avoda zara, where parents sacrificed their children, is forbidden?
Yet this brainwashed mother is prepared to have her children die than them going OTD!
When the reporter suggested that the loss of a child would be more painful than them living a non-religious lifestyle. Blau responded, “I’m not sure."
This Chardeie community is sicker than I thought!
Rivki Blau, a charedi owner of a beauty salon, has sparked widespread public debate following comments made during an interview with Israeli journalist Yair Sherki on Channel 12.
The discussion took place as part of an interview examining life in the charedi community. Blau was asked about the difference between a charedi mother’s concerns and those of a mother whose son serves as a soldier.
Blau explained that her daily concern is ensuring her children remain committed to religious observance and Torah study. In response to Sherki’s remark that a soldier’s mother fears her son may not return from military service, she questioned, “but what matters more?" When asked whether her priority was her children returning to a religious lifestyle, she answered affirmatively.
Throughout the conversation, Blau emphasized that she loves her children and would accept them regardless of their path. However, she also described the emotional distress she would feel if they chose to leave religious observance, saying, “if one of them becomes secular, every day, every moment, every hour, it would burn in my soul."
The exchange reached its most controversial point when Sherki suggested that the loss of a child would be more painful than their living a non-religious lifestyle. Blau responded, “I’m not sure."
Her remarks quickly circulated on social media, prompting strong and divided reactions from the public.
Later, Blau appeared on the Channel 12 studio broadcast, where her comments drew sharp criticism from journalist Josh Breiner, who described her statement as “outrageous" and said it was “impossible to even conduct a discussion about such a claim."
Attorney General to prosecute MK Tally Gotliv for revealing the identity of a senior Shin Bet officer.
Defense Minister Israel Katz signed the required confidentiality certificate, paving the way for Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to file an indictment against MK Tally Gotliv (Likud) over the exposure of the identity of a senior Shin Bet official.
The Shin Bet official is the partner of protest activist Shikma Bressler, and the minister’s signature comes after a nine-month delay on the matter.
Gotliv is expected to stand trial for violating the Shin Bet Law after publishing the identity of the senior Shin Bet official and accusing him of involvement in a conspiracy linked to Hamas.
As previously reported, the Attorney General announced last July that it had been decided to indict Gotliv pending a hearing, but Gotliv refused to appear either for the hearing or for police questioning on the matter.
Once the indictment is filed, the legal battle is expected to move into the political arena. MK Gotliv will be able to claim parliamentary immunity, with the issue set to be decided by the Knesset House Committee. Given the coalition’s majority on the committee, there is a possibility that her immunity will be upheld and the criminal proceedings blocked.
MK Gotliv responded sharply on X: “To everyone who is worried!! The persecuting Miara is welcome to file an indictment against me for exposing the partner of the leader of the rebellion and incitement that led us to the brink of disaster."
She added a direct message to the Attorney General: “Miara, don’t rush to celebrate. Let me remind you that you are required to receive approval from the Knesset Committee, and I fully intend to convince the coalition members, who hold the majority on the committee, to keep my immunity in place."
Meir Porush like King Ahaz turns to goyim for help! Some Sicko !!
Those who learn Tanach will find this Porush scenario very familiar.
In Malachim B (16:5-9) & in Divrei Hayamim B (28: 16-29) we find that Melech Ahaz sent messengers to the King of Assyria, asking him to save Yehuda from its enemies. Assyria did come to his aid but then became completely dependent on Assyria, and according to Divrei Hayamim this ultimately brought disaster on Klall Yisrael
Porush hasn't learned Tanach and therefore he hasn't learned a lesson!
MK Meir Porush (United Torah Judaism) sent a letter to US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, calling on the US administration to intervene in Israeli domestic policy to prevent the arrests of haredim who evade military service.
In the letter, titled “Urgent Request for the Protection of Yeshiva students in Israel in Honor of ‘Jewish American Heritage Month,’" Porush praised the US administration and President Donald Trump for their support of the Jewish people and Jewish tradition.
“Throughout the generations, the United States has proven itself to be a nation that can be defined as ‘Righteous Among the Nations,’" Porush wrote.
He added that under President Trump, “we see an administration that also honors the Torah of the Jewish people, cherishes its values, and works tirelessly for the security and prosperity of the Jewish people."
Porush contrasted what he described as American respect for Jewish tradition with the treatment of haredi draft evaders in Israel.
“While in the US, the government goes out of its way to celebrate and honor the Jewish religion and heritage, in Israel, the military and judicial authorities act in ways of persecution and arrests against yeshiva students whose sole occupation is Torah study," he wrote.
According to Porush, “If the American government, through all its branches, finds it appropriate to honor the Jewish religion and respect its values, it is only fitting that the authorities in the State of Israel act with similar respect toward yeshiva students, who have been the guardians of our people's eternal flame for thousands of years."
Porush called on Huckabee to have the US government “exercise its moral influence and call upon the judicial authorities in Israel to immediately and completely cease the arrests of Torah scholars and yeshiva students."
“There is no more fitting time than ‘Jewish Heritage Month’ to clarify that the protection of yeshiva students is a supreme Jewish and democratic value," he wrote.
Meet the brave olim who will defend Israel as "lone" soldiers
Hundreds of young immigrants preparing to enlist in the IDF gathered in Jerusalem this week for the “Olim Al Madim" conference, an event designed to provide guidance, support, and practical assistance to lone soldiers ahead of their military service.
The conference brought together olim from around the world, many of whom recently immigrated to Israel and are preparing to begin mandatory service in the midst of ongoing security challenges.
Shraga Weissman, Director of the Nefesh B’Nefesh-FIDF Lone Soldiers Program, explained the purpose of the initiative.
“‘Olim Al-Madim’ is this great event that we're doing for people who are going to draft into the army, specifically olim from different countries," Weissman said. “There's a mandatory draft in Israel, and we're here to help them cut through the bureaucracy and help them understand all the nuances of Israel and the army and what organizations can help them as lone soldiers."
Weissman, himself a former lone soldier, stressed the importance of ensuring new immigrants do not feel isolated during their service.
“We're here to help as many of the lone soldiers feel that there are organizations to help them and people to help them - faces and people who have been through this before who understand and are here to make it slightly easier and feel less alone while they're doing their service," he said.
Among the participants was Dr. F., who made Aliyah from Brazil earlier this year and is preparing for at least two years of military service.
“I just made the Aliyah in January of this year," F. said. “After my year of stage, I have chovah with the army. I must go to the army for at least two years."
Though still deciding which unit to join, F. said his motivation is clear. “One thing I know - I want to be there. I want to help. That's why I'm here," he said.
F. added that his dream is to serve as a combat doctor. “I can't put into words how excited I am. I want to join the army to be a combat doctor… that's the dream, to help the people of Israel."
Another participant, identified only as R’, immigrated from the United States at the beginning of the year and said serving in the IDF had long been her goal.
“I've always wanted to draft ever since I was growing up," she said. “Before October 7th happened, I also wanted to draft. When the war started, it was a little difficult to come to Israel, and I was also studying. So I waited to finish my studies, and then I made Aliyah as soon as I graduated."
R’ also shared that she and her fiancé are both lone soldiers. “My fiancé drafted yesterday, and we're both going to the Air Force," she said.
B., a new immigrant from Holland who completed his Aliyah process on the very day of the conference, described his desire to fully integrate into Israeli society.
“I'm immigrating today. I did Aliyah today. I got my papers finally," he said. “I studied astronomy in the Netherlands. I was a teacher for a while. I did mathematics for the high schoolers. I'm joining the army also."
“To me, to integrate, to really learn the language, to get a feel for the country, to start my life here - I think it's really relevant to do my part and actually give back for all the things I'm getting here," he added.
F. emphasized the sense of community that many new immigrants discover upon arriving in Israel.
“One thing that I can guarantee you - we're not lonely," he said. “Here in Israel, it's a place to make friends. It's a place to meet people exactly like you."

Why I hate Lag Baomer
For weeks I’ve been writing about how, slowly but surely, the Charedi world is beginning to see the light — though it may be too little, too late.
The word “Charedi” itself, a made-up term, which I only learned after becoming a father of five, literally means “to tremble.” It refers to trembling in awe before HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
But let’s be honest — as you read this, you’re probably smiling and thinking, “I know a few Charedim who don’t tremble at all.”
Indeed, many are not trembling; instead, they are distancing themselves from the rest of the Jewish people and inventing new ideas as they go.
Another term I encountered only after becoming a grandfather is “Daas Torah.”
And truthfully, it means nothing — absolutely nothing.
Ask a Satmar chassid who his Daas Torah is, ask a Chabad chassid, ask a Litvak from Lakewood — not one will agree with the other. The phrase is used to intimidate the naïve and uninformed.
I know a young kollel man, a genuine talmid chacham, who divorced with several children. He consults his Daas Torah about whom to date and what to do next. Yet his Daas Torah has been wrong about every single woman he’s met.
This is what happens when people surrender their own judgment entirely.
Take Lag BaOmer, for example. These massive bonfires have no basis anywhere in Torah. Growing up in America, not one rebbe or rosh yeshiva ever made a fire on Lag BaOmer. Even Rav Yoelish Teitelbaum, the founder of Satmar, opposed the practice — he opposed it even for those living in Eretz Yisrael.
Or consider the idea of not working for a living. Rav Avigdor Miller was firmly against men learning all day while being supported by their wives.
The truth is that many serious, frum people are realizing that their Torah leaders are disconnected from Klal Yisrael. Those leaders receive filtered information from askanim with agendas, and their decisions are steering the community toward an abyss — a system that cannot sustain itself and will eventually collapse under its own weight.
People are beginning to speak out. For now, it’s mostly anonymous, but I predict that soon the silence will break.
Below is an article from a frum writer describing the Lag BaOmer fiasco — a symptom of a much deeper problem.
The Tzaddik from Meron Arrested after Sexually Abusing everything that Walked
A leading communal rabbi from Meron in northern Israel has been arrested for alleged “serious sexual offenses,” police said on Thursday, a week after he was accused by a cult watchdog of managing a tightly controlled group since at least 2011.
A statement from the Israel Police said Rabbi Yosef Shovely, 54, was arrested overnight Wednesday-Thursday following a covert investigation after multiple complaints were received.
Shovely is said to have maintained tight control over his followers, although it was unclear how many adherents he had.
Sources familiar with the details of the case told the Walla news site that according to complaints that had accumulated over time, Shoveli presented his control over followers as spiritual.
“He succeeded in entering into the lives of people and making them completely dependent on him. He controlled their daily routines, distanced them from their families, and some of them effectively became his servants,” a source with knowledge of the probe told Walla.
Shoveli was expected to be brought before a court for a remand hearing later on Thursday.
Police called on anyone who may also have been harmed by the suspect or have any knowledge of alleged crimes to come forward.
Last week, the Israeli Center for Cult Victims posted a warning about Shoveli, saying it had collected 16 testimonies against him, including from five people who were directly involved in the group’s inner circle, as well as from family members from the Haredi community.
The witnesses described “worrying patterns of dependence, control, harm to family ties, exploitation, an atmosphere of fear” and sexual exploitation in the group, with the earliest witness complaint being filed in 2011, according to the center.
Four of those who came forward said they were sexually assaulted by Shoveli, who presented the acts as “spiritual.” They said they were witnesses to assaults on other members, indicating a pattern of abuse in the group.
The center described an inner group of heightened control, and an external group among whose members “dependence, high piety, and harm to family ties” began to take shape.
In the internal group, members’ lives are intensely controlled, with the center noting some members wouldn’t even establish their own family without Shoveli’s approval.
Some even changed their last name to Shoveli, according to the center.
Members carry out daily chores for Shoveli, such as cleaning and caring for his children, without pay, the center said, adding that members viewed their servitude as a “privilege” and “mission.”
Shoveli said he “absolutely disavows all of the above and rejects the matters outright,” in response to the center’s claims.
