Ami throws Satmar Under the Bus!

In the August 5 edition of Ami Magazine, Yitzchok Frankfurter, writes in an editorial, titled "American Jewry's Perpetual Inertia," that anyone that advocates for the Iran Nuclear Deal is basically a "murderer."

Now, Mr Frankfurter knows very well the position of both Satmar Rabbis, which is, that not only is it forbidden for Jews to try to defeat this deal, but R' Aron Teitelbaum the leader of the Aroni faction of Satmar, actually sent letters to senators and congressman begging them to support the President on the Iran nuclear deal, because of Satmars' love of President Obama who gives them federal programs.

But in this editorial Frankfurter reminds his readers of "the complacency of American Rabbis," during WW2, specifically Stephen Wise, who though well connected failed to utilize his position to urge President Roosevelt to save European Jewry, because as Frankfurter puts it, his "absolute and complete love" for President Roosevelt!

Frankfurter continues and writes, 
"any layperson who offers an opinion on the Iranian nuclear threat in contradiction to that of the seasoned experts, may Heaven forbid, be guilty of the aforementioned offence [murder] multiplied by 6 million!"

Now, my readers know my prior position of Yitzchok Frankfurter and his magazine Ami, but in this editorial he actually makes sense and puts a dagger in Satmars back, and calls the Satmar Rabbis a bunch of "murderers" ....
He didn't actually say the word "Satmar"... but he meant them, because in the Chareidie world ... only Satmar backs the Iranian Nuclear deal!

I therefore placed Yitzchok Frankfureters photo dressed in a clown outfit further down on my sidebar..
If he continues making sense, maybe I'll put his Shtreimal back on!

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"
