Ami: "Eretz Yisroel not important"

Yitzy (the clown) Franfurter, editor Ami Magazine 

The clown, Yitzy Frankfurter never ceases to amaze me. In an "editorial" in last week's Ami, (a magazine catering to women), titled "Consolation," Yitzy the "drei kup" makes up a reason for his lady audience why Moshe Rabbeinu  wasn't allowed to enter Eretz Yisroel:
"Hakadosh Baruch Hu sent a message that the Torah is at the center of Yiddishkeit and not Eretz Yisrael."

Chazal and practically all Rishonim are climbing walls to find an answer why Hashem prohibited Moshe to enter the Holy land. Moshe Rabbeinu himself postulates that  it's because of Klall Yisroel stating in Parshas Ve'eschanan: "Vyisaber Hashem bee Le'Manchem" "Hashem refused me entry in the Holy land because of YOU!",...
and the Orach Chayim in this week's parsha writes that at the end of the day ...."we really don't know" ...
So nobody knows why .....
but Yitzy the Clown,  knows ...
He reasons that " Torah is far more central to Jewish life than than any geographical location"
So now Eretz Yisroel according to his warped logic is only a "geographical location"
The Arabs don't think it's just "any geographical location" and the Christians don't think it's just "any geographical location" and our Holy Torah doesn't think that Eretz Yisrael is just a  "geographical location".....but the Frank, with his scraggly beard ... thinks so...

Now don't get me wrong, I think that Torah is of paramount importance; without Torah we are like all other nations. 
But why can't Torah and Eretz Yisroel be on par? .....

The Gemarrah says that anyone walking 4 amos in Eretz Yisroel gets all "his sins forgiven." The Gemarrah doesn't say that about learning Torah, you can learn Torah and be a rasha me'rusha." You can learn Torah and still go to hell!

Yitzy, a Satmar tuchisleker, constantly tries to throw in the bizarre Satmar ideology whenever he can...
He even quotes the Rambam's Moreh Nevuchim,(a sefer that according to Chareidim should not even be read) to bolster his idiotic twisted undermining of the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael.
and writes " yishuv Eretz Yisrael is just one of the Torah's commandments and is not the focal point of Judaism."

The fact that we see open miracles; the fulfillment of every single prophecy, the "in-gathering of the exiles" and we are seeing that the majority of Jews  now live in Israel ...those facts are totally ignored by this stand up comic. The Baalei Mussar write "Letzana achas doiche meh toichacois" One Joke can destroy 100 lectures of Mussar ... Yitzy just did that with his "editorial" 

Let's see how the Chazal viewed "Yishuv Eretz Yisroel"

Bava Kamma 80b

We learned in friday's Daf (Bava Kamma 80b) that one may instruct  a gentile to sign a contract on Shabbos, on the Jew's behalf  to buy property in Israel. 
Normally when we deal with  any other "melacha" on shabbos we cannot instruct a non-Jew to do the "melacha" because of the prohibition of "amira le'akum." 
But when it comes to buying property in Israel from a non-Jew, Chazal did away with "shvus"  meaning doing away with all Shabbos related Rabbinic decrees because of the great importance of "Yishuv Eretz Yisrael." 

Kesubois daf 110b

The Gemmarah in tractate Kesubois (Daf 110b) goes a step further and says that one living in Eretz Yisrael is as if he was "living with a G-D" and one who lives in Chutz Le'aaretz, is as if he was worshipping idols and is living "without a G-D" ..!

Now see for yourself what the Ramban states in his Sefer Ha'Mitzvos:


Sefer Hamitzvos ... Ramban in Mitzvah 4 ... besides settling the Land we are
commanded for conquest & redeem the Land in all generations even under the jurisdiction of other nations i.e. exile ...

"That we are commanded to take possession of the Land which the Almighty, Blessed Be He, gave to our forefathers, to Avraham, to Yitzhak, and to Yaacov; and not to abandon it to other nations, or to leave it desolate, as He said to them, You shall dispossess the inhabitants of the Land and dwell in it, for I have given the Land to you to posses it, (Numbers, 33:53) and he said, further, To Inherit the Land which I swore to your forefathers, (to give them,) behold, we are commanded with the conquest of the land in every generation." 

AMI Rewrites Satmar Rebbe History saying he was an Ohaiv Yisroel

The "clown" Yitzchok Frankfurter is  an obsessed Satmar re-writer of history!

 In this week's issue he has an editorial  "Many Rivers Couldn't Quench His Ahavas Yisroel" desperately trying to convince his naive readers that the Satmar Rebbe was an Ohaiv Yisroel. 

It's interesting to note, that no other Chassidis  needs an editorial in Ami  to convince anyone that their Rebbe was an Ohaiv Yisroel.  

So Frankfurter  tried to find at least one statement or quote from   R' Yoel Teitelbaum, stating that he loved every single Jew, even the Zionists!

But after searching all of R' Yoilish's Shalash Seudah Toirelech and his books, the clown came up with nothing! ..... Nada! 
He couldn't find a single source that R' Yoilish was an Ohaiv Yisoel from R' Yoilish's own writing or sayings!

So how did the Frank  prove his preposterous theory that R' Yoilish loved every single Jew, even if they were Zionist supporters? 

According to the "Clown," ..... the proof is, that when the Satmar Rebbe ranted and raved against the Gedoilie Yisroel that supported the State of Israel , he DID NOT quote a particular  Rambam!

Guys, help me! 
Is this insane, or what? 
So because the Rebbe didn't quote the Rambam, when he ranted, raved and cursed  the Zionists, that makes him an Ohaiv Yisroel!

It's not that we found proof somewhere that R' Yoilish said that he loved every single Jew, ...... No! 
According to the Frank, we see that R' Yoilish was an Ohaiv Yisroel, from what he didn't say!??????

He wants us to judge the Rebbe, not by what he wrote or actually said, but what the Rebbe didn't write or say?????
How crazy can a guy get? What drug is he taking?

The Rambam In Hilchos Rotzei'ach 13:14 states that there is in fact no mitzvah of Ahavas Yisroel for a sinner!
Now, ..... this is not the forum to debate the ruling and the thinking of the Rambam ..
Suffice it to say that the Lubavitcher Rebbe z"l knew this Rambam very well, probably, I would venture to say, better then R' Yoilish, and he established the biggest Kiruv movement and "Tefillin Campaign" since Hashem gave the Torah at Har Sinai!

So let's pause and think about  "the Frank's" demented statement..... .... that the Rambam held that there is "no mitzvah of Ahavas Yisroel for a sinner"

According to his twisted logic, where does that leave  the Rambam,????????????????????????????????????? 

According to the Frank, the Rambam must have been  a "Sonei Yisroel," a hater of Jews,  making the Satmar Rebbe an Ohaiv Yisroel since  the Rebbe didn't quote this Rambam on purpose, thinking that the Rambam was too extreme???????????????????????????

Get it?

Now let's see some examples from  the Rebbe's own lips  regarding  the Gedoilim that supported the Zionists, and then let's see if  he loved any of them!

1)  Parshas Shelach June 1967, in his Shaolosh Seuda Toireleh rant, that is recorded on an mp disc and transcribed in a book called "Sheemee D'var Hashem" (what a chutzpah to call this trash, "Words of Hashem") page 31, Chapter 23, the Rebbe calls the Zionists
"zera Ameliek" children of Amelik!

2) In the same book, page 37, Chapter 24, the Rebbe calls those Gedoilie Yisroel that support the Zionists 
"Apikorsim" 

3) In the same book page 28 chapter 15, the Rebbe mocks those (Chabad) that are mekareiv and put tefillin on the secular Zionists and IDF soldiers ....

the Rebbe says "Shabsai Tzvi  ym"s..... also did kiruv work" 

then he continues the  rant:
"the military (IDF) that mix with girls, .....I'm not going to mention that they are immersed in TV watching and attend theaters, and are steeped in Tumeh , is there any doubt that their entire way of thinking is full of carnal desires and are prohibited from putting tefillin on ..... and that they (Chabad) chose specifically this particular mitzvah; ......isn't  the act of putting on tefillin  on person  like them (IDF) itself a sin?!"   

In the above rant (#3) he mocks the Lubavitcher Rebbe z"l  who apparently was very aware of the halachos of  tefillin and nevertheless, since he truly loved every single Jew, saw fit to institute a "Tefillin Campaign" so that every single male Jew have the merit of putting on tefillin at least once in his lifetime!

In reading the above examples, was the Satmar Rebbe the hallmark of an Ohaiv Yisroel? 

Would someone who loves every single Jew, call a Jew ...."Zera Ameliek?" 

Would someone who loves every single Jew call a Jewish leader that supports the State of Israel an "apikores?"

Would someone who loves every single Jew deny him an opportunity to put Tefillin on at least once in his lifetime?

The bottom line is that R' Yoel Teitelbaum the founder of the Satmar dynasty did  not love every Jew since he cursed the Zionists ...and not only that, he made sure that his followers also hated them ...
as to why R' Yoilish did not quote the Rambam if it bolstered his postion .....
Who knows and who cares!

To say that "Many Rivers couldn't quench his Ahavas Yisroel"  is laughable .... and a blatant lie, I may add...
You lie..... Frankfurter .... you lie!

Yitzi Frankfurter in his Shabbisdike Levush

Ami's Shenanigans

The war in Gaza is basically over, so the "Chief Clown" of Ami Magazine, Yitz Frankfurter,  is back to his old tricks.
In an editorial in this week's issue, titled "Piercing Indifference" he bashes the secular Israelis for not publicizing  the fact that the Lakewood student, Aaron Sofer z"l, was missing.

He quotes an article written by Allison Kaplan- Sommer, that was published in the self hating Israeli  far left leaning newspaper, Haaretz.

"But in Israel, the only outlets that have been covering Sofer's disappearance and the search for him are religious publications and English-language media. As a result, the major international news outlets based in Israel haven't focused on the story either. The key question is whether this is merely a media failing or a lack of attention that reflects and could result in, a less than vigorous effort on the part of Israeli authorities to uncover what has happened to him."

Then in a swipe at Mishpacha magazine (his former employer that gave him and his family Parnassah, for years),  that hyped a recent poll, that basically proved that the majority of secular Israelis don't dislike their Chareidi counterparts,
 he wrote mockingly:

"Last Pesach, some in the Orthodox community announced with great fanfare the results of a poll that showed that a majority of secular Israelis don't "hate" their chareidie counterparts ....
"The majority of secular Israelis, however, also seem to be apathetic toward our anguish. That not only hurts, but as I have previously pointed out, may prove the truism about indifference: that it is an even worse disposition towards another human being than loathing. And that stings."

First of all, Mr. Frankfurter, didn't Reb Chaim Kanievski say when Aaron Sofer was missing,  that he "is alive and well?"
So why should the secular press report a Yeshiva boy missing, when he was "alive and well?"

Second of all, are you saying that the "majority of secular Israelis are apathetic toward our anguish?" 
Did I read that right?
What a blatant bald face lie!
The Mishtara when notified 6 hours after Aaron went missing, starting searching immediately, this was on shabbos!

And how many "chilonim" searched in Chevron for the 3 kidnapped yeshiva boys?
Yes, the police didn't get onto it right away, because they thought it was a prank call, but not because they were yeshiva boys or because they were Dati.

And why shouldn't the Chilonim "loath" the Yeshivah Boys. 
Didn't the Yeshiva boys run from Ashdod and Ashkelon at the start of the Gaza War, even though they were told by their Roshei Yeshivah that Torah is "matzel,"  while the modern Hesder Zionist boys, stayed  in Ashdod to help the residents in Ashdod cope?

And now to the most important point!
The whole wide world now knows, how Aaron Sofer died.
In his black jacket dehydrated!
Don't you think that you should have focused your entire editorial on the sheer madness of going on a hike with no phone, hat and jacket and no water bottle?
