Ami's Frankfurter Wonders Why Israel Won't Build More Graveyards On the Uninhabited Hills

 

Rabbi Yitzchok Frankfurter, the CEO and publisher of Ami magazine, has been described in Yiddish by many people as "nish der groiser chuchem un nisht der kleiner naar" "not a great chachum, and not a small fool." 

In this week's Ami where he interviews R' Moshe Brandsdorfer, he doesn't disappoint. 

We all know that Israel is rapidity growing out of space in cemeteries and so the Asra Kadisha decided to give the "go ahead" to excavate underneath Har Hamenuchos to create more space. In fact they have already done so. They have excavated miles underground with multiple floors with elevators. 

It is all indoors and when you go there you feel like you are in a mall. I have been there many times and one can go there in winter in summer, in rain and in sunshine, the temperature inside is regulated to make the people visiting, very comfortable.  

Frankfurter is questioning the young posek R' Moshe Brandsdorfer on whether this is fact permitted. Not that anyone in Israel really cares what R' Brandsdorfer thinks about this, since this method has already been approved and implemented since Talmudic times, and in fact, none other, than members of the Sanhedrin themselves were buried with this exact method two thousand years ago, except for the elevators and chandeliers, just go to Sanhedria Marchevet and you can pass the burial site on the bus, in fact the entire neighborhood Sanhedria is named after the Sanhedrin buried there.

I want to ask my readers a question, and I want you to stop and think about this for a minute or two.

When you visit Israel and you see the beautiful mountains and uninhabited hills, what goes thru your mind? 

I'll bet that you think "wow" "how beautiful are these mountains?",

 these were all barren not too long ago and now they are lush with trees, 

or you possibly would think, 

"wow, we have mountains so that we can build new communities to bring more Jews to Israel before Moshiach" 

and I'll bet you are thinking:

  "wow, the words of the neveeim are coming true right before my very eyes, what  zchus to witness this phenomenon in my own lifetime."

And you wouldn't be alone in this thinking, since the talmud in Mesactas Megillah 17b already thought about this as well, over 1800 years ago. 

The gemarra wonders why in the Shemona Esra the Chazal established the blessing of קיבוץ גליות 

after the blessing of ברכת השנים ?

In other words, why does the bracha of תקע בשופר גדול לחרותנו the bracha of the "Ingathering of the exiles" come AFTER the bracha of ברך עלינו the "blessing of the years?"

Read carefully what the gemarra answers:

דכתיב ואתם הרי ישראל ענפכם תתנו ופריכם תשאו לעמי ישראל כי קרבו לבוא 

"For it is written: You mountains of Israel sprout forth your branches and give forth your fruit to My people Israel, for they are close to returning."

This verse in Yechezkel prophesizes that the ingathering of the Jewish people will happen only after the mountains bear fruit and so Chazal decided to establish the order of the blessings in the Shemona Esra in the same order mentioned by the Navi Yechezkel. 

Yes! This is happening in our times, may Hashem give us health and years to continue witness these miracles of nature/ 

So, what does Yitzchok Frankfurter see when he sees those very mountains? 

He sees the mountains and hills of Eretz Yisrael as a place to bring the dead!!! 

After all they are "deserted." 

And he has the solution: 

He asks R' Brandsdorfer, can't we just solve the lack of graves situation, by destroying all these beautiful hills and mountains that shout the words of the neveeim, and just bring the dead "Boro Park Fat-Cats" and dump them into the "deserted" holy hills and mountains?

Only someone who doesn't value Eretz Yisrael thinks like that, only someone who when the word "Eretz Yisrael" comes up, thinks "cemetery" would ask this blasphemous question.

It was only 3,500 years ago, that a group of "chareidim," leaders of Klall Yisrael, that saw it the same way.  

The meraglim! 

They said that Eretz Yisrael is ארץ אכלת יושביה הוא

"A land that consumes its residents" 

See Rashi: 

בכל מקום שעברנו מצאום קוברי מתים "wherever we went we saw people burying their dead"

Frankfurter like the meraglim sees Eretz Yisrael as a place to bury the dead!

Now read what this young "posek" answers him. 

"The Tziyonim don't want to give land for it."

This statement of R' Brandsdorfer is an unmitigated lie!

But let us assume for a minute that this statement is in fact true, that the "Tziyonim don't allow it,"

I ask, why should they? 

I don't see the Chareidie Bnei-Brak community set aside their building sites to make room for cemeteries. Why doesn't the Satmar Community buy land in Yerushlayim,  Bnei Brak and Beit Shemesh to make room for cemeteries? Who is stopping them?

The truth is, that not for the dead from chutz le'aaretz, there would be plenty of room. 

So let's go back to "R' Brandsdorfer answer.

Every single city in Israel has been allocated land for them to bury their dead. The State of Israel grants every single citizen of Israel, a burial spot, gratis! Yes! You read that correctly, again, every single citizen of Israel is entitled to a free burial spot in the city he or she resides!

For example in Beit Shemesh there are two cemeteries, one is for Beit Shemesh residents and every single resident of Beit Shemesh has a spot for free. the other one known to Americans is called Eitz Chayim and is privately owned, and anyone wanting to be buried there has to pay the owners. 

The Zionists grant each and every city, adequate land so that they can bury their dead, and Rabbi Brandsdorfer knows it. 

More on Ami Magazine & Gittel Davidson

 

Last week,  I commented on Ami's fiction writer, Chaya Silber, who took a seemingly innocent story and infused it with hate and venom and heaped it on the State of Israel. 

Click on the link, and you will see what I'm talking about.

This week I got hold of the actual article and I found some great "gems" that really highlight the craziness of this story.

Gittel Davidson, the daughter in-law of Madeleine Lucette Farraille, aka Ruth Ben-David,the French lady that converted to Judaism with her son Uriel, and kidnapped Yossele Schumacher, makes the most bizarre statement about her mother-in law.

Gittel relates that Ruth had a connection with Yasser Arafat's mother-in-law, going back to her old French days, and since Arafat's mother-in-law "knew that Ruth Blau was an anti-Zionist, she tried to persuade her to help Fatah against the Israelis."

Are you guys digesting this? Unreal.... 

Gittel doesn't describe how this connection came about, since it probably wouldn't put Ruth in a very positive light, but we the readers are all dying of curiosity, we are sitting at the edge of our seats ... but Ami's Chaya Silber hears this directly from the mouth of Ruth's daughter-in-law, Gittel, and doesn't ask her..something that is on the tip of the tongue of anyone reading this article

"What? Did I hear this correctly? How did they know each other? Did they keep in touch all these years? What did Arafat's mother-in-law know about Ruth that would even make her think that Ruth could turn on her own people?. Were they close? " What was the connection?"

Chaya Silber who writes fiction for a living doesn't flinch and isn't curious how this came about ...

 Gittel goes on to say:

"My saintly mother-in-law proudly replied, 'Madame, although I am an anti-Zionist, I would never do anything that would harm the Jewish people!" 

Whew! 

I was in suspense on how Ruth would respond; we are all relieved now that her "saintly mother-in-law" decided to do the right thing and not stab the Jewish nation which she embraced. She went "Lifnim Meshuras Ha'din"

A "saint" indeed!

Now for the clincher: 

Sit back and relax but this is not the time to be holding a hot coffee or slurping hot chicken soup.

Way back in 1951, a Jewish child of 3, Moshe Shimon, from a Satmar family living in Petach Tikvah, walked out of his home on Rosh Hashana  and disappeared, and was never seen again. The family suspected that  their Christian neighbour kidnapped him and raised him in a convent in Jordan...

Anyone reading this who doesn't see the irony is not playing with a full deck..

But both Chaya Silber, the Ami Interviewer, and the protagonist Gittel Davidson did not pick up on this ....

The Satmar family approached Ruth in 1980, 30 years after the child's disappearance asking for help to locate Moshe Shimon...

After visiting abbeys and monasteries in the Old City of Jerusalem and Shechem, with no success, Ruth decided to visit Yasser Arafat and ask him for help...

Her link to Arafat? His mother-in-law........

Ruth, of course wasn't successful but I want to steer you to Ruth's impression of Yasser Arafat as related to Chaya Silber by Gittel Davidson..

"After she had met Arafat, whom she disliked immediately, my mother in-law told my husband (Uriel) that Arafat was a liar and a very bad person, and would never do anything." meaning to help her in her search 

Wow.... who knew? 

"Arafat was a liar and a very bad person" 

Ruth actually thought that Arafat who had a business of murdering innocent Jewish children would help her locate a missing Jew!

I'm glad that Ami is setting us straight about Yasser Arafat!

How perceptive of Ruth to see thru Arafat and find him a liar and a bad person.... so now Gittel wants us, thinking that we are as stupid and gullible as she, to admire Ruth because she also found "Arafat to be a bad person" even-though Ruth was an anti-Zionist!

This story took place in 1980 or 1981

It seems that Ruth wasn't aware that in 1972, merely 8 years before she met Arafat, the leader of the Fatah Terrorists, ordered the execution of  11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games.....

In 1974 Palestinian terrorists massacred 21 Jewish school children in Maalot

All that and more didn't make Arafat a "bad person" what made Arafat a "bad person' was that he wouldn't help her find a 30 year old lost now grown man living a life of a Christian in Jordan.

So Gittel Davidson sits on her couch and praises her "saintly" mother-in-law, for being  a "saint" and an insightful person; she was able to detect that "Arafat was a very bad person."

By the way, members of her father-in-law's Neturei Karta, such as Moshe Hirsch,  actually thought that Arafat was a great guy and met him on multiple occasions.

Palestinians went on to bomb the Sbarro Pizza Shop in Yerushalyim blowing up 15 people including 7 children and a pregnant woman, 130 were wounded! 

A drink please..... I need drink ......anyone home?... 

Did you just bring me water? Noooooooooooo! I need a stiff drink!

Ami Magazine & Chaya Silber Spew Venom & Hate on the Jewish State

 

Mrs Gittel Fuchs Ruben Davidson 

The Shevois issue of Ami Magazine featured a story, written by Ami writer Chaya Silber,  a story about a Mrs. Gittel Davidson, the daughter-in-law of Madeleine Lucette Farraille, a catholic that converted to Judaism, and who subsequently married the leader of the Neturei Karta, the 71 year-old Amram Blau, who was 26 years her senior.

R' Amrom Blau and is second wife Ruth Madeleine Lucette Blau 

Mrs Davidson married "Ruth's" son, Claude, who was the only child of Ruth from a previous catholic marriage, and who also converted to Judaism and called himself "Uriel."(more on that later)

Mrs Davidson was born in Denmark, 10 months after WW2 to a Gerer family, and in this story she relates how she wound up getting to know Ruth and her subsequent marriage to Uriel.

This is where it gets interesting and crazy....

MK Eichler Curses Israel As He Is Being Interviewed by Ami's Frankfurter!

In this week's edition, dated Feb 20, 2019 of Ami Magazine, Yitzy "the clown" Frankfurter interviews Mk Yisroel Eichler.

To give you some background:

 Yisroel Eichler is a Member of the Knesset and represents the Aguda. He sat in the Zionist Knesset from 2003-2005, and then because of an agreed rotation, stepped aside, but then got re-elected in 2011 and has served since.

No one forces him to be in the Knesset, this is his choice! 

Satmar, however, because he is a "chaver ha'knesset" considers him a Zionist and a "heretic."

 In an interview with Ami Magazine, Eichler knowing full well that the "clown" Frankfurter, is a Satmar "tuchis lekker" and an Israel hater, wanted to sound like he is an anti-Zionist to pacify the imbecile, Frankfurter.

So Eichler...while praising the State of Israel for her gracious huge grants to "Talmud Torahs, yeshivos, shuls and mikva'os, " .....referred to the State of Israel as .....  "Zionist Reshaim!"

Right now the Religious parties have absolutely zero "achdos"amongst themselves ...

Degel, the Yeshivishe Party will not have anything to do with Eichler's Agudah Party, which is Belz & Ger, and of course, the Sfardim and the Mizrachists will have nothing to do with either of them, and with each other.

Which basically means, that the Religious Parties will not have any significant say in any new government, and will no longer have the ability to hold any coalition hostage with demands since they are basically fragmented into 4 parties. 

This is really a shame and could actually be very dangerous to Chareidim because of Shabbos & Army issues that they really need and want....

But the "gedoilei Yisrael" of these parties have so far instructed their candidates not to make peace or unite ...

So my guess is that "Gius" and "Chillul Shabbos" is really not a priority by the Gedoilim ... who outwardly to the masses, scream that Gius is "Yehereg Ve'Al Yaavor" 

but in reality they would rather have separate parties than get together to fight what they call "Gezirois Ha'Gius."

In light of this, Frankfurter  the quintessential  "Satmar stooge" sat down with Eichler to ask him what he thinks the future of the Agudah Party will be ...

So get this, here we have a guy, Mk Eichler a married father of 14 children whose sole parnassah is sitting in a Zionist entity, who mooches and sucks Zionist money all his life and then turns around and curses the very hand that feeds him ...calls them the "malchus harishah" .... the "evil government" ....

Frankfurter, hater of Israel, fails to ask him, the obvious question:

"Why if it is a "Malchus Harisha" are you a part of it?"

He fails to  ask him: 

"Why are you blaming the "Malchus Harisha" for Army Issues, vis a vis drafting Yeshiva Bochrim, when you or your party cannot get any "gedoilim" to run under one banner and ticket to fight this?"

Eichler does admit to Frankfurter that any Yeshiva Boy that wants to learn isn't required to serve in the IDF.

Frankfurter: "I told two people who are involved in fighting the gius that Rav Eichler told me that a bachur who doesn't want to go to the army doesn't have to do so. Is that still correct?

Eichler: It's 100% true. If anyone tells you that a bachur who wants to sit and learn and has a certificate that states that he's sitting and learning was forced to go to the army .... he's lying! Those who appear before the board receive a deferment as has always been the case !

Rechy Frankfurter, the editor of Ami Living, is just as anti-Israel as her  husband the "clown!"

In the Feb 6, edition of Ami Living, the lady part of Ami, Rechy interviews a lady whose daughter had a terrible skin disease and found a "miracle drug."

The lady was running all over the world including Switzerland and the UK trying to find a cure and relief for her daughter's pain and agony.

The lady is an Israeli and after finally finding the cure in England, decided to return to Israel ...

Look at Rechy's question ....

She asks her:

"Why did you want to go back?"

Which frum "Bas Yisroel" would ever ask another Jew, why she wants to go back to Israel?

Which Jewish person who is from "Zera Yisroel," Jewish seed, would think to ask another Jew

"Why do you want to go back?"

Only a Boro-Parker Yente from Schmootz Le'aaretz whose head is filled with gashmius and Hungarian Satmar propaganda .... would even think of asking another Jew "Why do you want to go back?"

A question straight out of the mouths of the Eirav Rav.....

 בשבתנו על סיר הבשר באכלנו לחם לשבע,"

 כי הוצאתם אתנו אל המדבר הזה מי יתן מותנו ביד ה' בארץ מצרים

Ami Magazine Promotes Fake News with Insulting Cover Questioning Trump's Sanity on Front Cover

Ami Magazine is on a roll with Fake News, but this time the Chareidie rag published by Yitzchok "The Clown" Frankfurter outdid even itself by causing a huge Chillul Hashem with an article "Analyzing the mind of President Trump" and featuring the heading of this fake story on the cover!

Can you imagine the outcry if "the Clown" would have written a similar article on Obama?

In this issue Ami interviewes Michael D'Antonia, author of "Never Enough" a book that trashed the then candidate Donald Trump. D'Antonia also authored an opinion piece for the Fake CNN News with the byline  "Donald Trump, the arsonist-in-Chief," 

where he postulates that "Trump has an arsonist mentality."

When questioned by Ami, if he has any background in psychology, D'Antonia admits that he doesn't..... yet Ami saw fit to interview a Trump hater in a Religious Jewish Magazine.

"The Clown" forgets that we are Jews in galus, and we need to  keep a low profile..... he totally ignores the fact  that we need to be in the President's good graces. 

Just last week, his White House reporter, Jake Turx, dressed as if he just walked out of a Purim Play, sporting a Kippah with his twitter account embroidered, asked a stupid silly question to none other than the President of the United States....

Instead of telling the President that he represents frum Jews that voted and supported him, he asked a long winded question that was confusing and silly...

The President of the United States is the most powerful figure in the entire world, and Turx gets dressed in a purim costume, mocking the entire process of the press core......

Anyone else standing in front of a President would be dressed with "derech eretz" ......

It wouldn't hurt him to dress with a tie ..... yes with a tie ..... and look neat ..... 
Nobody wraps their peyus around their ears anymore, either curl them or put them under your childish embroidered kippah ... 

I guess he represents "the clown" so he dresses as if he was in a circus!

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

Rabi Yair Hoffman throws Yitzchok Frankfurter of Ami Under the Bus!

I really don't have a dog in this fight, but I think that Rabbi Hoffman has it in for Frankfurter, so he waited, lurking in the shadows, waiting for The Frank to say something crazy. Sure enough Hoffman didn't have to wait long. 

It seems that Yitzy Frankfurter said, that Rabbi Elazar, an Amorah of the  first generation of Amoraim, was a depressed guy!

Well, Hoffman would have nothing of that ... and attacked him mercilessly !



By Rabbi Yair Hoffman,

Generally speaking, we should be open and tolerant of views and interpretations of others that may differ from ours.

BREACH IN THE MESORAH
Sometimes, however, when we perceive a breach in the Mesorah of the interpretation of a passage in the Talmud and it is presented as fact, it is incumbent upon others to vocalize their dissent. This is particularly true when the misinterpretation has no substantive linguistic indication to that effect within the text.
The essay in question stated that Rabbi Elazar, of the first generation of Amoraim, was suffering from mental illness. The essay was penned by Rabbi Yitzchok Frankfurter, the editor of Ami Magazine, whom I generally consider a Talmid Chochom. Nonetheless, the particular essay (issue 237 entitled “A Look Inside Psych Wards”) struck this author as troubling.

THE GEMORAH IN BRACHOS
Rabbi Frankfurter based this assertion on a passage in Brachos 5b which states as follows:
Rabbi Elazar once became sick. Rabbi Yochanan came to visit him and saw that he was sleeping in a dark room. Whereupon Rabbi Yochanan uncovered his own arm and immediately the room grew light. Rabbi Yochanan then noticed that Rabbi Elazar was weeping. Rabbi Yochanan asked, “Why are you weeping? Is it because you have not learned Torah sufficiently? Behold we are taught, ‘No matter whether one offers much or little – only the intentions of one’s heart counts for the sake of Heaven.’ Is it because you are in need and poor? Not everyone receives a table in the world to come and a table here. Is it because of trouble from your children? Here is a bone from my tenth son. “I weep,” responded Rabbi Elazar for that beauty which will ultimately decay in the earth.” Rabbi Yochanan responded, “For that you really ought to weep.” Both wept together. Rabbi Yochanan then asked of him, “Do you love afflictions?” Rabbi Elazar answered, “Neither them nor their rewards.” “Then give me your hand.” Rabbi Elazar did so and was made well.

RABBI FRANKFURTER’S TWO ASSERTIONS
Rabbi Frankfurter writes, “It is clear that Rabbi Elazar was suffering on a psychological level from a pall of darkness enveloping his mind, rather than from physical disease.” He bases his interpretation on the fact that Rabbi Yochanan did not ask Rabbi Elazar if the reason he was crying was on account of poor health or physical pain. Rabbi Frankfurter then suggests that Rabbi Yochanan is engaging in “existential psychotherapy” in his discussion with Rabbi Elazar.

INJECTING SECULAR THINKING INTO TORAH TEXTS
There is an unfortunate tendency for people to, at times, get caught up in their mada studies, in their Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Rank philosophies, and then retro-inject them into various Gemorahs and Midrashim that they come across with forced readings. Existentialist psychotherapy is strictly an early 20th century phenomenon. Injecting this type of therapy into the interpretation of a Gemorah with no Meforshim backing it up is anachronistic.
The results are not just incorrect readings of Torah texts, but there are two other repercussions as well: There are grave methodological missteps where, for example, an early Amorah is labelled as someone who is mentally ill; and the traditions of the classical commentators on our texts are entirely ignored.

THE TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATIONS
This Gemorah has been amply and adequately interpreted throughout the generations.
The Ran understands this passage to mean that “in a dark room” means that Rabbi Elazar, Rabbi Yochanan’s student was destitute. Rabbi Yochanan opened his hand in generosity.
The Or HaChaim HaKadosh, the Nesivos, and the Malbim all interpret “sleeping in a dark room” as headed toward his ultimate demise which is called “a dark room.” Rabbi Yochanan was thus attempting to inspire Rabbi Elazar not to give up his will to live despite the sufferings of his illness.
Rabbi Avrohom Kara, a contemporary of Rabbi Akiva Eiger and author of the Ayil HaMeluim explains “in a dark room” to mean that Rabbi Elazar looked at Rabbi Yochanan in a slightly negative light in that Rabbi Yochanan was quite wealthy and it was thought by some that he did not distribute charity in the appropriate amounts. Rabbi Yochanan revealed his light means that he showed Rabbi Elazar his hidden acts of charity.
The Gedolei HaAchronim have given numerous interpretations throughout the centuries to this passage. Not one of them, however, suggested that Rabbi Elazar was suffering from mental illness.

THE SOURCES FOR THE AMI INTERPRETATION
In response to a query from a reader named B. Mann (issue 239) about what his sources were for the interpretation, Rabbi Frankfurter responded, “The most important source for the interpretation that Rabbi Elazar’s illness was of a psychological nature is the Gemorah in Brachos (5b) which I cited.”
Rabbi Frankfurter then juxtaposes a Mishna in Shabbos (29b) that discusses extinguishing a light on Shabbos because of a ruach rah, which the Rambam interprets as mental illness. He correlates the need to extinguish a light with the fact that Rabbi Elazar was in a darkened room. It is significant to note that no commentator correlates the Mishna in Shabbos with the Gemorah in Brachos. Also, Rashi provides an entirely different understanding of Ruach Rah which would entirely rule out any basis for correlating the two passages.
Rabbi Frankfurter’s “sources” for his interpretation are technically not true sources in the classical sense, rather they are inferences that Rabbi Frankfurter perceives within the text; namely that Rabbi Elazar was in a darkened room and the dialogue between the two Rabbis expressly underscoring the psychological aspect of his suffering. As we have seen, however, there are different interpretations of this idea.
The mental illness interpretation suggested in the Ami article, however, is not novel. Reform Rabbi Ruth Adar, suggested just such an interpretation last year in her blog. The point is that such interpretations are foreign to traditional Judaism. This is not a gratuitous attack. If the only fellow travelers on a path are Reform Rabbis when the topic was dealt with by our classical meforshim for centuries, then something is clearly wrong.
Ami Magazine has always stood at the forefront of defending Torah-true Judaism. This is an important mission, and ny and large they have met this mission suscessfully. The interpretation of this passage in a manner that stands in contrast to the Rishonim and Achaonim is a violation of what Ami Magazine stands for. In this author’s opinion Rabbi Frankfurter should retract the essay.

Jerry Nadler who stabbed his Jewish Constituents in the back, is crawling back like the rat that he is!

This two timing bastard, Jerry Nadler, stabbed his Jewish constituents, in the heart. These constituents are by in large either Holocaust Survivors or children of survivors.

Now that he realized that he is running for Congress again, he ran like a poisoned mouse to Ezra (the Kapo) Friedlander,  who hooked him up with the clown Yitzy "the" Frankfurter.

This clown, is the "editor" of Ami Magazine, a magazine that panders to the Satmar Chassidim .

Ami dedicated 14 pages to this piece of vermin!

THE FRANK interviewed Nadler, a man with no convictions and no morals. Nadler had the Chutzpah of voting to hand over nuclear missiles to Iran, a country that vowed to eliminate the State of Israel and its inhabitants. 

So now while Iran's satellite terrorists are stabbing Jews in the streets of Israel, stabbing men, women and children, and even while innocent Jewish blood is flowing in the streets of Yerushalyim...... Ezra, the Kapo, shlepps the fat Nadler to the "chuchim fin de Ma'Nishtana" Yitzy, to interview him so that the lying bastard can explain his treacherous vote on Iran...

Nadler apparently  knows that the naive  Jewish Chasidishe sheep will forgive him and put him back in office so that he can continue to lick the backside of Hillary Clinton who he thinks will be our next President!

Why would Ami stoop so low? 
Is it because of how much money the fat bastard will funnel to our "holy" moisdois?

What is it with us Jews, that follow this money whore, Ezra Friedlander,? 
Why do Jews listen to this admitted High School Dropout that cannot calculate a simple tip to a waiter in a restaurant, by his own admission? 

Why do we re-elect political vermin, who laugh at us, and who turn their backs on the Jewish People?

This guy, Nadler, a lying politician knew that he can kiss up to Hussain Obama and the Jews will say "thank you" and vote for this snake again!

It's time to dump him..... better vote for an open anti-Semite than for a guy that says he is for the security of Israel and then votes to place nuclear weapons in the hands of tyrants that vow to destroy us...

Ami's Yitzchok Frankfurter can't find kosher food in Tel Aviv!

The clown, Yitchok Frankfurter interviews MK Yisroel Eichler in this weeks Ami, and tells him that he cannot find  kosher food in Tel Aviv....
This lying skunk, like the Meraglim, must push his anti-Zionist agenda, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the interview, and even if its a ridiculous lie!

Ami Magazine calls Vocational Colleges that solicit Chareidim "Morally repulsive"

The "morally repulsive,"  Frankfurter, publisher of the "Pro-Satmar Anti-Israel" Magazine, Ami, continues to make a fool of himself!

In this week's edition, The Frank, writes an editorial about his visit to the Jerusalem College of Technology's Machon Lev Institute, Israel's leading school of engineering for Modern men and women. 

The Institute was founded by the late Professor Zev Lev primarily for Hesder Talmidim. 

Machon Lev combines academic studies with Jewish learning and enrolls many Chareidim in separate campuses for men and women.

The Frank, interviewed the assistant to the President of the Mechon, Stuart Herskowitz, as he put it, to "ascertain whether Mechon Lev's goal was to teach a trade to those members of the chareidie community seeking a vocation to support themselves (a highly laudable undertaking), 
or to "meddle in the chareidi community's pedagogical philosophy and methods." 

 The Frank,  added the words, ("an ethically repugnant activity")  in parenthesis, for some reason ... 

So, The Frank, traveled 5,000 miles from his home to Israel to "ascertain" if a school that helps Chareidim with parnassa and gives them a trade, that helps them support their families .... 
is "meddling" with "Chareidie philosophy"!

And what, does The Frank, think is Chareidie philosophy?

DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! 

But he won't, G-d Forbid, come out and say it......
he masquerades his "do nothing philosophy" with a lot of sophisticated "word salad" to fool his readers into thinking that he advocates people training to have a trade!

To bolster his lie that he is all for Chassidim having a trade, he writes:
"It would be hard to find another Jewish periodical that publishes as many articles on the subject of business. We endeavor each week to assist our readers in overcoming their financial challenges and help them prosper."

DIN: 
It's true that The Frank, features every week business entrepreneurs,...... but what the clown won't tell you is that not everyone can start a business, and those that do, are a minority of a minority....very very few of them around.... 
and how many are successful? 
Ami doesn't feature those who started a business and failed.

Some need to go to school to learn a trade....Mr. Frankfurter!

He then rants and raves against learning a trade; but does his best to confuse his readers into thinking he is really for it, by quoting the halacha that requires learning a trade , which is  a Mishna in Mesactas Shabbos and is the final psak according to all Rishonim including the Rambam!

"Rav Meir famously said, "One should make sure to teach his son a trade that is clean and easy." 

And then, lest you think, that is The Frank's philosophy, he quickly switches, quoting the opposing view that is only designed for the very few, and  makes it the hallmark of his "editorial," saying that this is  Chareidie philosophy!

"By contrast, Rav Nehorai declared, "I forsake all professions in the world and teach my son only Torah"
