| Lakewood "Tuchis Leker" R' Malkiel Kotler pretends to listen to R' Zalman Leib |
To have thousands stay in Yeshiva without working and taking all kinds of programs is ok,
to promise your wife under the chupa that you will support your wife and then renege and have your harried wife work till she drops, is ok,
and it was ok to take money from the Zionist Government.,
but now that the State of Israel got tired of feeding the parasites and stopped the funding to the yeshivas , the Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva became Satmarers, and Zaloines no less!
***There is a report that just came in as of this writing that Israel restored the funding to the Yeshivas, so let's see what will happen now!
But here read the report from the Yeshiva world:
A historic celebration took place this week in Williamsburg at the home of Reb Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, as the Satmar Rebbe met with Rav Malkiel Kotler of Lakewood’s Beis Medrash Govoha and Rav Yakov Eliezer Schwartzman, grandson of Rav Aaron Kotler and rosh yeshiva of the Israeli branch of the Lakewood yeshiva. During the meeting, Rav Schwartzman announced that his yeshiva will no longer be accepting funds from the Israeli government.
Rav Schwartzman’s statement was followed with the drinking of a celebratory l’chaim. Ten of the Satmar Rebbe’s supporters were invited to the meeting and were requested to pledge their financial support to Bais Medrash Govoha of America in Eretz Yisroel, located in the Ramot section of Jerusalem. A group of askanim was also brought in to create a base of support in America to help the yeshiva make up for the funding it will no longer be receiving from the Israeli government. Additionally, the Satmar Rebbe reached out to several other wealthy individuals to arrange a personal visit with both himself and Rav Kotler to collect money for the yeshiva.The news was well received within the Satmar community and a spokesman said, “We are seeing today concrete proof of the words of the Satmar Rebbe, Reb Yoel zt’l who said that the yeshivos in the holy land cannot take funds from the unholy government without also acceding to its demands, including the draft.”
The Satmar Rebbe renewed the pledge he made last summer to other Chasidic sects, offering financial assistance to any yeshiva that stops taking funds from the Israeli government.
“The Chasidic community will be happy to distribute as much money as it takes to bring satisfaction to the Satmar Rebbe, Reb Yoe zt’l in the heavenly realm, by doing whatever possible to bring pure chinuch to mosdos in the holy land,” said one Chasidic leader.
