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"
