Rabbi Handler on Zev Brenner Show Calls Rabbis of Monsey "lightweights"

William Handler

Zev Brenner

Rabbi William Handler Spokesman of the Vaad Harabonim of Monsey told the world on the Zev Brenner Radio Show on Motzei Shabbos February 6, 2011, that Rabbi & Posek Ben Zion Wosner Shlitah ( Head of the Shevet Levi Rabbinical Court in Monsey) and Rabbi & Posek Yecheskel Gold Shlitah, Satmar Dayan, and Rabbi Leibish Rottenberg shlitah of Forshey, are "lightweights!" He then called Rabbi Rottenberg a "Rebbele with a Shteebel"
(Harav Chaim Leibish Rottenberg Shlita, is the Mora d'asra of Beis Hamedrash Netzach Yisroel of Monsey, and is a renowned scholar and posek of Bikur Cholim and Hatzalah)

This Handler guy had no problem being Mevazeh Talmedei Chachomim (ridiculing Torah Scholars) to thousands of listeners, while accusing others of the same. He insulted Harav Blau Shlitah, (Rosh Yeshiva Yitzchok Elchonon) who appeared on last week's panel on the Zev Brenner show. He had the "chutzpah" to lecture us about having respect for Gedolim and "Koved Hatorah."

This is in reference to Weingarten, the convicted Rapist. The above mentioned prominent Rabbonim of Monsey convicted Yisroel Moshe Weingarten in a Bais Din ... 

Handler in effect said that the Rabbonim that investigated the case and questioned the victims and witnesses are not Daas Torah, but only his  Rabbonim that never investigated and never questioned any witnesses and who are backing the convicted Rapist are Daas Torah!
 He then read a typed letter that clames that Weingarten is innocent and that letter was allegedly signed by Rabbi Kreisworth Z"L of Antwerp. Rav Kreisworth has long since died and no one can question Rav Kreisworth whether he in fact signed the letter and if he actually met with any of the victims (he didn't). The other signatures were signed in different ink and added later on so there is no way to ascertain whether any of the other signers had any knowledge if R' Kreisworth actually signed the typed letter, some "yukel" could have forged R' Kreisworth's signature... we will never know. Another signer Rabbi Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss of Badatz Yerushalayim is the same Rabbi who enthusiastically supported the trend of religious women walking around covered head-to-toe in black clothes

R' Weiss also supported the haredi mother who starved her own child, leading to months of haredi riots against Hadassah Hospital. He supported Yisroel Valis who murdered his own handicapped child. And now he currently supports convicted child rapist Israel Weingarten.
Handler accused the trial of being fixed and claimed that some Satmar guy from Monroe by the name of "Witroel" influenced Judge Gleason. He said that he saw "Witroel leave Judge Gleason's chamber" but then in the same interview he says that he never attended the trial! One of the children of Weingarten called in and said a Satmar Guy by the name of Lefkowitz did him in. Let's blame everybody but Weingarten.


Turns out that the Monsey Rabbonim put up a guy by the name of Handler to be their spokesman, who never met Weingarten, never met any of the witnesses and admitted on live radio that he doesn't know anything about the case; mocked Gedolei Yisroel and poskim like R'  Wosner, R' Rottenberg, Rabbi Gold and Rabbi Blau!
 Handler said that in "America every body can be a Rabbi," but when Mark Meyer Appel called him "Mr. Handler," he immediately corrected him and said that he was a "Rabbi."
It is people like Handler that cause people to have zero respect for our Gedolim. 
He called Rabbonim and noted Poskim who don't agree with him "lightweights"and "Yechidim."
 Handler (a heavyweight physically) himself is a rabid Anti-Zionist; an extremist in his views and dismisses  the greatest of our Rabbinic leaders,  the Gerer Rebbe, The Belzer Rebbi, the Vishnitzer Rebbi, the Kloisenberger Rebbi  and the Lubavitcher Rabbi, who all supported Israel.  Handler prays every single day for the demise of the State of Israel, knowing full well that this would cause G-D forbid the annihalation of millions of his brethren.
 He once protested in front of the house of The Great Tzaddik the Bobover Rebbe, Reb Shlomo Z"l, when the Rebbe met with the then Mayor of New York, Ed Koch! 
 He supports "Daas Torah" only when it coincides with his twisted way of thinking, and this is their spokesman.

Shame on you Handler!!
