Ad in Monsey Newsletter Wants All Women & Girls to "Stay in the Inner Rooms" on Purim

This is not a joke! This is not a Purim Prank! This is very Serious!

An advertisement appearing in the Monsey "Community Connections" wants Women and Girls on Purim not to "Laugh out loud" and to make sure that they are "not to be noticed or heard,"and stay in the "inner rooms."

It is no wonder that the Chassidic youngsters are fed up with all this and are leaving their heritage and frumkeit behind!

Isn't Purim all about Esther Hamalka, a Woman? The whole miracle of Purim was because of Esther, yet some Meshuganer in Monsey wants that Esther's offspring be hidden in a closet so that the Schnorrers shouldn't see them! This sick individual, to bolster his agenda, quotes the Holy Saint the Chofetz Chaim Z"L. Can you fathom his chutzpah? The Chofetz Chaim's wife actually ran his retail store and was dealing in public with the public. This "nut" actually went and paid for a full page ad, thinking its a mitzvah!

I urge all readers to call this deranged guy and to also call the Community Connections to protest this atrocity perpetrated on our Wives and Children.. His number is in the ad.

I believe that the problem  started when we first allowed newspapers and magazines in our house that do not carry any pictures of women, even dead ones.... the Yated, Hamodia, Mishpacha and even Bina (a magagazine designed for women)will not have pictures of women even when they are writing an obituary, a lady no longer alive...
Are people so sick that they get aroused from a dead lady? Now we have a guy that wants to put our wives and daughters in a closet. During a brief conversation with him, he told me that it is in the "Shulchan Aruch." I have a challenge for him, if he finds this in the Shulchan Aruch I will be the first one to stuff my wife & daughter in my walk-in closet! How about that?
We allow ads that blank out the face of the lady... is this normal??

The Disgraced Leib Tropper Honored in Israel by the Gedolie Hador!

Leib Tropper & Shannon Orland, the lady that exposed him

The following is a loose translation of a report in the Israeli Charadei Press on January 24, 2011
Tens of people gathered motzei Shabbos Shira in a bais medrash in the Bucharan section Jerusalem with the founder of yeshiva 'Kol Yaakov' Monsey, Rabbi Leib Tropper from New York.

Two events brought Rabbi Tropper to visit Israel: He came to visit the fresh grave of his father Rabbi Yehuda Tropper z"l who died about two months ago and upon the completion and publication of the sefer [book] of the 'Taharas Yisroel' with the added commentaries of Rabbi Tropper.

Rabbi Lipa Yisraelzon, grandson of Rav Elyashiv, affirmed before the students, as one who has accompanied Rabbi Tropper on his Israel trip, on the warm connections he has merited in the homes of Gedolei Yisroel.

So, on his trip, Rabbi Tropper came to the homes of Gedolei Yisroel. Aside from the Halachic questions that he placed before Gedolei Yisroel, he received their blessings for his holy work.

At the main lecture Rabbi Tropper conveyed, that he expanded the importance of prayer as preparation for greeting our righteous Moshiach.
Hebrew Version:
עשרות איש נועדו במוצאי שבת שירה בבית-המדרש בשכונת הבוכרים בירושלים עם מייסד ישיבת 'קול יעקב' במונסי, הרב ליב טרופר מניו-יורק.

קשה להאמין כי כל המשתתפים באירוע, בני תורה ברמ"ח איבריהם, חזרו בתשובה. אחד היה רופא, השני ספורטאי - וכן הלאה. כולם היו רחוקים מתורה ומצוות. עד שהגיעו לישיבת 'קול יעקב', שם ניצת בהם הניצוץ היהודי.

שני אירועים הביאו את הרב טרופר לבקר בארץ: הוא עלה לקברו הטרי של אביו, הרב יהודה טרופר ז"ל, שנפטר לפני כחודשיים ובירך על המוגמר בהוצאת ספרו של בעל 'טהרת ישראל' בתוספת הגהותיו של הרב טרופר.

הרב ליפא ישראלזון, נכדו של הגרי"ש אלישיב, העיד בפני התלמידים, כמי שליווה במהלך הביקור בארץ את הרב טרופר, על היחס החם לו זכה בבתי גדולי ישראל.

ואכן, במהלך ביקורו, הגיע הרב טרופר לבתיהם של גדולי ישראל. לצד שאלות הלכתיות שהציג בפני גדולי התורה, קיבל את ברכתם לעבודת-הקודש שלו.

את הנאום המרכזי נשא הרב טרופר, שהרחיב בחשיבות התפילה כהכנה לקבלת פני משיח צדקנו.
