" The masses (the Pusheter Yid) may have greater access to divine revelation than Talmudic scholars. "

by Scott Kahn from Orthodox Conundrum Commentary 

Sometimes, too much scholarship can be a detriment to determining the right thing to do.

The concept of natural morality - that is, that people intuitively know certain basic moral concepts - is debated by Jewish and non-Jewish philosophers alike. 

One of the most famous examples of a Jewish scholar championing natural morality is the Ramban in his commentary to Vayikra 19:2, which we will read this coming Shabbat. He explains that the biblical directive to “be holy” prohibits actions which are not otherwise proscribed by the Torah, but which would allow someone to act in a despicable manner without technically violating any written prohibition. Many assume that we know which prohibitions are included in this mitzvah through natural morality.¹ 

This is in line with the Ramban’s explanation of why the people of Noah’s generation were punished for hamas, meaning stealing and exploitation: “Because this is a logical mitzvah, without need for a prophetic warning.”²

Lakewood's Anti-Israel Event Hired a Speaker Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro an Accused Sexual Pervert

 

Schapiro

ובני קורח לא מתו

Last Thursday night, Lakewood Askanim decided to make another asifa to degrade, ridicule, and mock the State that now houses the majority of the Jewish people! This is while Jewish Children, some of whom are husbands, are still in Gaza fighting for our lives! This is while millions of Jews living in Israel ran to shelters in the midst of the night!

The poster itself had photos of Herzl, Ben-Gurion and Jabotinsky on the right, and Rav Kotler, Chazon Ish, Brisker Rav and the Chofetz Chayim on the left! 

The poster's Headline  "Let's Stop the Confusion!"

The "hate" event took place a week before Pesach at 8:00pm a time when husbands are needed at home to help with the children and a time when most frum Jews are busy cleaning and shopping for Pesach! 

But the asknaim  felt that it was more important to gather the naive dumb Lakewood sheep to listen to one of the meraglim of our generation!  

This took place in the week of  Parshas Va'Yikrah where the Vayikra Rabba (א' ט"ו) states on the very first pasuk:  ויקרא אל משה

"מכאן אמרו, כל תלמיד חכם שאין בו דעת נבלה טובה הימנו" "from this pasuk we learn that a Talmid Chacham who has no daas, a dead carcass is better than him" 

Rabbi Dovid Pavarski from Ponivitz  explains in his sefer ישמרו דעת, that "Just like the stench of a dead carcass is so strong that one cannot bear anywhere near it, so too a Talmid Chacham who has no daas one cannot be anywhere near him"

Yet this did not stop the organizers of this "meraglim" event from having Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro from addressing these morons! 

Rabbi Shapiro has been accused many times of sexual perversions against both married and single frum Jewish girls! 

He is the author of a book called "The Empty Wagon" a Nazi-like propaganda book that drips with the vilest, disgusting hate against Jews living in Israel! 

Well, he doesn't say outright "Jews living in Israel" but rather "Zionists living in Israel" 

So let me quote from the grandfather of the Chida, R' Avraham Azulai, in his sefer Chesed LeAvraham (Ma'ayan 3, Nahar 12)

"Anyone who lives in Eretz Yisrael is considered a tzaddik even though he is presumed to be wicked"

The sefer Nachala LeYisrael written by a great talmud chacham, a dayan in Ohel Hungary for more than 40 years, and who later moved to Tverya cites the Chesed LeAvrahanm I just quoted, but adds the following:

"Thus it is clear that we don't properly understand the true nature of the inhabitants of Eretz Yisrael with our physical eyesight. For man sees what his eyes behold, while Hashem sees into the heart. Therefore, we cannot judge or degrade specific individuals and certainly not the entire community, even those who do not favor in our eyes or do not act in a manner befitting our nation."

What is indeed fascinating is that in this weeks parsha, the parsha of the asifa, the Torah discusses people that do an Aveirah "beshogeg" inadvertently!

The Torah writes

אם הכהן המשיח יחטא

"If the anointed Kohen will sin"

ואם כל-עדת ישראל ישגו

"If the entire assembly of Israel will err"

The Torah discusses scenarios of people, even the anointed Kohen, that might do an aveirah! We are not sure they will sin, but just in case they do, then they have to bring sacrifices to atone for that sin.

However, when it comes to a נשיא a leader, an asken or the rabbi, the Torah states:

אשר נשיא יחטא

"When a ruler sins" 

In other words, the Torah is 100% sure that he will definitely sin! There isn't any doubt that he will succumb and do the Aveirah! 

Commentaries explain, that "askanim," leaders, and even rabbanim become arrogant once they come into a position of power. Rashi explains this anomaly in a more positive light, that "great are the Jewish people that have leaders that repent and admit when they sin!

This menuval that calls himself "Shapiro," will never repent and this is who the Torah is talking about! 

The poster itself is in fact true! The heading is false! 

There is in fact, zero confusion!

All the characters on the posters, Herzl, Ben-Gurion,Jabotinsky,Rav Kotler, Chazon Ish, Brisker Rav and the Chofetz Chayim have many things in common; all were innovators in their own way, and I'm glad that someone put them all together finally. 

I suspect that the one who designed the poster is a secret Zionist who is laughing his or her heart out! 

Shiri Bibas's Last Statement to Her Husband " 'Do we fight or surrender?' She answers herself , 'We fight.'"

 

"We Fight, We Don’t Surrender": 

Yarden Bibas, wearing an orange kippah, eulogized his wife and children:

"Shiri, I love you and will always love you. You are everything to me. I remember our last conversation in the shelter—you asked, 'Do we fight or surrender?' And you said, 'We fight.'"

*A Nation Mourns: Honoring Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel Bibas, HY"D*

"Tonight, just hours before the heartbreaking farewell, hostage survivor Yarden Bibas sat with us to inscribe the final letters in a Torah scroll dedicated to his beloved wife Shiri and their children, Kfir and Ariel—taken in cruelty and returned in coffins."

"This sacred scroll, supported by Rabbi Moshe Schneier, Rabbi Leibel Schmotkin, David Siegel, Mordechai Shapiro, and the Palm Beach Synagogue community, will stand as an eternal tribute. Rabbi Yehuda Kaplun, advisor to President Trump, also joined to pay his respects."

"Yarden, we stand with you. All of Israel mourns and promises never to forget."

Searches underway for 9 year-old Jewish boy who went missing near Flagstaff, Arizona

 

Searches are underway in Flagstaff, Arizona after a nine-year-old Jewish boy went missing on Wednesday.

According to Yeshiva World News, the boy was last seen walking with his family towards a parking lot near a forested area when he suddenly disappeared.

Local authorities have put together search teams which are being assisted by Chaverim of Rockland and Rabbi Dovi Shapiro of the Chabad of Flagstaff in coordinating a search effort.

As of Wednesday evening, efforts to locate the child are ongoing, with volunteers and searchers combing the area.

A German soldier looted postcards from doomed Lublin Yeshiva in Poland. 80 years later, his granddaughter brought them back

 

Karla McCabe speaks at a ceremony where she returned postcards that her Nazi soldier grandfather looted from the Lublin yeshiva,

Before World War II, Lublin was a vibrant center of Jewish culture in Poland dating back to the 16th century. A large share of the city was always Jewish, roughly one-third — or 40,000 people — when the Nazis invaded. The Lublin Yeshiva opened in 1930, led by Rabbi Meir Shapiro, and lasted only nine years. In its brief life it became one of the world’s largest Jewish religious schools and boasted a library of between 15,000 and 40,000 religious books, among them some of the earliest manuscripts in print.

The Nazis turned Lublin into a center of mass extermination, killing 99% of its Jews and eradicating symbols of Jewish culture. Although the broad yellow structure of the yeshiva remained, used as an office by the German army, its vast library disappeared. The destruction was so effective, leaving so few traces of the yeshiva’s documentation, that even how its books vanished has remained a subject of speculation. For decades, a popular theory said they went up in flames at a Nazi book burning.

Jews Must Leave Colombia Campus Now ..AS NYPD Can not Guarantee Safety! Stefanik Calls For Shafik's Resignation!

 In a WhatsApp message sent to hundreds before the start of Passover, Rabbi Elie Buechler, director of OU-LJIC at Columbia/Barnard, told students to leave "as soon as possible" until the situation improves, noting that "what we are witnessing in and around campus is terrible and tragic."

"The events of the last few days, especially last night, have made it clear that Columbia University’s Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish students’ safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy," Buechler wrote. "It deeply pains me to say that I would strongly recommend you return home as soon as possible and remain home until the reality in and around campus has dramatically improved." 

The rabbi added: "It is not our job as Jews to ensure our own safety on campus. No one should have to endure this level of hatred, let alone at school." 

House GOP Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., on Sunday demanded Columbia University President Dr. Nemat "Minouche" Shafik to "immediately resign" given how Columbia’s leadership "has clearly lost control of its campus" within the last 24 hours, "putting Jewish students’ safety at risk." 

Stefanik asserted that Columbia leadership’s hours of preparation for their testimony before the House Education and the Workforce Committee hearing last week "clearly was an attempt to cover up for their abject failure to enforce their own campus rules and protect Jewish students on campus." 

Candace Owens endorses outlandish antisemitic conspiracy theory alleging Jews are ‘drunk on Christian blood'

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Candace Owens, a prominent figure at the Daily Wire, recently expressed support for an ancient conspiracy theory alleging that Jewish religious leaders engage in the ritualistic consumption of Christian blood.

Owens, who has been increasingly critical of Israel and the Jewish community, has sparked controversy with her remarks.

In a public spat with fellow commentator Ben Shapiro, Owens made remarks interpreted as antisemitic. She declared, "You cannot serve both God and money," a statement widely viewed as an antisemitic shot at Shapiro.

Owens has further stoked tensions by attributing the rise in antisemitism to "political Jews" and suggesting a conspiracy involving a "small ring" of Jewish individuals in Hollywood and Washington, DC.

She concluded, "All of us Black, Spanish, Jewish, Chinese, Japanese, all Americans should want answers because this appears to be something that is quite sinister."

Did the Nazis burn the Chachmei Lublin's library? Maybe not

For decades after World War II, a famed Jewish house of study in Poland was consigned to oblivion.

The Nazis set fire to thousands of books stored at the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva in 1939, the popular story went, leaving no trace of its enormous library even as its students were sent to their deaths.

But while Lublin’s Jews were murdered, that great bonfire never occurred, according to Lublin local Piotr Nazaruk, who researches the city’s Jewish history at the Grodzka Gate-NN Theater Center. Nazaruk was fascinated by a set of mysteries cloaking the Lublin Yeshiva, once among the largest Jewish educational institutions in the world, whose yellow building still stands in the former Jewish quarter — now mostly empty of Jews.

“We’ve all seen images of books being burned by the Nazis during the war,” Nazaruk told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “But if this yeshiva and its library were so famous, and it was such a prestigious thing for the Nazis to destroy it, why are there no traces — no photos or documents — actually proving that it happened?” And if there were no fire, might those books still be available today, in attics, private collections and on the shelves of people unaware of their tragic provenance?

There are about 40 Jews in Lublin today, but over 40,000 lived there before the Holocaust, roughly one third of the city’s population. Nazaruk, who is not Jewish, became fascinated with Poland’s Jewish history over 10 years ago. He happened upon a series of Yiddish newspapers at a library in his hometown of Biała Podlaska, north of Lublin. The discovery inspired him to study Yiddish.

“For me, this Jewish, Yiddish-speaking world of prewar Poland is almost like a parallel universe,” he said. “It happened in places that I know, on streets I walk. It was like discovering a hidden history of places I know very well.”

Nazaruk threw himself into investigating the disappearance of the Lublin Yeshiva Library. He had on his side other skeptics of the bonfire story, including Adam Kopciowski, a Lublin historian at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University who found five of the yeshiva’s books at the former Chevra Nosim synagogue — Lublin’s only surviving prewar synagogue — in the early 2000s.

How a pastor parted with "Yoshka" and led his congregation to Judaism

 

Reprinted from JTA

Richard Cortes can trace his spiritual development to a class field trip at a Florida theme park.

It was 2008 and Cortes was taking classes at a Pentecostal megachurch, on a path toward seminary and eventually leading a congregation, when his group spent the day at Orlando’s Holy Land Experience.

The creation of the park, which has since shuttered, had worried Jewish groups. They were concerned it might be intended as a tool of proselytization because its founder, Marvin Rosenthal, was a Jew who became a pastor, referred to himself as a “Christian Hebrew” and engaged in missionary work.

The Death of the Baal Teshuva Movement?

 

When Jews left Judaism and Orthodoxy in droves during the 1800s and early 1900s, the great sages of the generation took strong action. Great sages, from the great Chafetz Chaim to several Lubavitcher Rebbes, From Sarah Schnirer to the Alter of Novardhok and R’ Meir Shapiro, addressed the problems, did their best to implement improvements and remedies and fought heroically to fill the historic role Jewish leaders have taken throughout the generations to preserve Yiddishkeit through the countless challenges we have faced as a people.

They were not labeled as anti-Charedi for not towing party line or saying that everything is perfect; they acknowledged the problems and addressed them.

This being said, it is important we acknowledge the new reality of our generation, and that is that the Baal Teshuva movement, as we knew it is dead. It is no longer here. This is not just something that has to do with the world of Jewish outreach, it also can tell us a lot about the state of orthodoxy, and the rapidly changing world we are living in.

Russia Warns: “We Won’t Guarantee Safety Of Chassidim In Uman On Rosh Hashanah”

 

After Hitler ym"s murdered over 6 million Jews, Jews looked back and asked "how didn't we see the signs and escape?" They were warned by Jabotinsky and others. Jabotinsky was a Ukrainian and he knew what the Ukrainians were capable of, and he knew that given the opportunity they would massacre men, women and children. 

Jews couldn't believe that the most civilized country in the world, Germany, would become the biggest barbarians. 

Kristallnacht was a warning, but the Jews in Poland, Hungary and Romania weren't worried as their leaders and their Gedoilim were telling them that "Hitler would never get there!" 

It's now over 70 years and we learned nothing! 

Instead of running away from that Jewish blood-soaked cursed Ukraine, they are flocking by the tens of thousands to a rabbi long gone. They don't care to read the signs from Above to stay home with their families and daven with live rabbanim, instead they disregard warnings from the Russians and the Ukrainians and are forging ahead into the inferno headfirst. 

I hope and pray with all my heart that all goes well, and they come back alive and healthy.

Israel’s Ambassador in Moscow Alexander Ben-Tzvi held a meeting last week with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov on the issue of Jews gathering in Uman for Rosh Hashanah.

Ben-Tzvi informed Bogdanov that although Israel issued travel warnings to Ukraine and Ukrainian officials warned Israeli not to come, there are already several thousand Israelis in Uman.

Israel’s Channel 12 News reported that Bogdanov told Ben-Tzvi that Russia won’t guarantee the welfare of the Jews in Uman.

“This is a real danger,” Bogdanov said. “Russia cannot guarantee the Israelis’ safety.”

Nevertheless, Bogdanov asked for further information about the Israeli presence in Uman so that he could pass it on to the relevant authorities in the Russian army.

Meanwhile, in light of the many thousands of Jews already in Uman, volunteers of the United Hatzalah branch in Uman are busy with a dramatic increase in the number of calls for their services.

Mattis Shapiro, head of Hatzalah Uman, said: “Hatzalah volunteers, in cooperation with medics and paramedics from Israel and the US, will work in shifts around the clock to provide an immediate response to cases that are received at the lcoal emergency hotline 063-800-1221. It should be noted that as part of the streamlining of the security operation, Hatzalah volunteers hung up dozens of regional number signs in 15 areas near the kever in Uman – facilitating the rapid arrival of emergency and rescue forces.”

Aharon Ben Harosh, deputy head of Hatzalah Uman, said: “We equipped all the Uman ambulances with the necessary medical equipment in order to provide a quick response to the volunteers in Uman and in Ukraine for any emergency and medical assistance.”

Chassidim Recruit Yaakov Shapiro an Israel Hating Liar as Their Spokesman in Albany Because he is the only one who can speak English

 

So much to say about this. The orange caps and jumpsuits 🤬 The clearly not Hasidic rabbi speaking on behalf of Hasidim to put forth a more articulate English and deliberately confuse the public 🙄

And @ShulimLeifer speaking with poise and conviction 😍 https://t.co/AQ0Lf7uBSk

— Dr. Dainy Bernstein (@DainyBernstein) September 13, 2022

 Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro has an Israel-Hating website called "Torah True Jews" which is neither "torah" nor "true"! It is dripping with such hate against Gedoilei Hador who don't or didn't agree with his anti-Zionist stance, that he must have taken it out of Der Shturmer. 

He wrote a book "The Empty Wagon" which has haskamos from rabbanim that couldn't even read English and is filled with half-truths and whole lies. 

This is the guy that they appointed as the "spokesman" for the Chassidim in Albany fighting the new curriculum imposed on yeshivois! They appointed him because apparently, he is the only guy who can speak the language.

Below are excerpts from an article written in 2018 by Rabbi Yair Hoffman reviewing his disgusting book.

Ami Magazine Features Letter From Rachmistrivka Rebber Praising Maimonides Hospital! Yet the Facts are very different

 

So what is the truth? Which is it? And if the Hospital is so bad why is Ami featuring a letter that is so far fetched that it boggles the mind?  It could be that the Maimonides Staff was extra careful with the Rebbe Shlitah, but the facts are (read article below) that there are horror stories on a daily basis. 

Rachmistrivka Letter 

To Maimonides Medical Center

This letter is long overdue. There are really no words that can adequately express our feelings to your

wonderful facility. We are attempting to communicate our feelings of gratitude and appreciation that

we have in our hearts and minds on behalf of the entire Jewish Community, on behalf of Grand Rabbi

Twersky's Family, on behalf of the Rachmistrivke Kehila, on behalf of the Jewish nation worldwide we

would like to take this opportunity to express thanks and gratitude for the good care and special attention

that was granted to our Dear Grand Rabbi, Rabbi Chal Y. Twersky Shelita.

At this point we want acknowledge Maimonides Medical Center Doctors, Specialists, Nurses and all

practitioners that cared for our beloved Rabbi with kindheartedness and special attention.

Specific recognition is given to Dr. Vitzhok Kupfer, Director, Medical Intensive Care Unit & the MICU

Staff. We are fortunate in having Dr. Kupfer as the Rabbi's physician and is granting Rabbi Twersky the

best care humanly possible. We would also like to acknowledge Ms. Mintz Interim Chief Nursing Officer

for her kindness and compassion, and of course expertise in dealing with the Rabbi and his family. A

shoutout is due to all of the Nursing Staff. Last but not least, kudos to our wonderful Executive Vice

President of Maimonides, Douglas Jablon whose name is synonymous with Maimonides Medical Center.

His is a labor of love. He's always there to lend a helping hand and listening ear. May he continue to be

there for our community for many happy healthy years.

After on our team. We thank Keven Cottingham Asst Vice President of Operations for always

facilitating and helping make our stay at the hospital easier and more pleasant.

An honorable mention is due to the following individuals who are always ready and eager to help:

Mr. Chasky Rosenberg, Mr. David Shapiro, Mr. Chalm Fleischer, Mr. Yidel Feig, Rabbi Benzion Leser and

Rabbi Sholom Peach Greenberg. Their support and assistance is available 24/7. We are grateful to have

them on our team.

It is not every day that a hospital has the chance to care for a distinguished and exceptional individual

like our Rabbi. The fact that your institution appreciated their good fortune and extended the Rabbi the

exclusive care and compassion that he received, speaks miles for Maimonides as a great hospital, and for

the staff as gentle and caring individuals. We are proud to have this hospital in our neighborhood.

May G-d continue to guide you and help you heal patients and their families like you have helped us.

With much gratitude and admiration,

Rabli Moshe Kramer

On one side are allegations of mismanagement, self-enrichment and poor performance putting Brooklyn residents in danger.

On the other is a dismissal of these complaints as a disinformation campaign — spread by mailers, leaflets and on social media — meant to disparage the quality of care.

In politics, this would be business as usual.

But this fight is happening over Maimonides Medical Center — Brooklyn’s largest safety-net hospital, in Borough Park.

Rabbi Yair Hoffman's Disingenuous Argument Against Going Up to Har Habyit

 

Rabbi Yair Hoffman is a very nice guy, but he has an agenda. He wants to make nice to his Yeshivishe followers, most of whom have been brainwashed in their agenda driven yeshivois, by agenda driven Roshei Yeshivas. 

In his halachic analysis of whether it is permitted to go up to the Har Habayis, he leaves out a very pertinent part of the puzzle. He purposely leaves out the fact that the Rambam himself actually went up to the Har Habayis with his father and brother accompanied by the then Chief Rabbi of Akko. Not only that, but every year on the anniversary of the date that he went up on the Har Habyis, he celebrated a personal Yomtov with a Seuda. The Rambam mentions his Har Habayis experience in many other letters as well. The one below is in the Rambam's own handwriting.

To those who may want to say that only the Rambam knew exactly where to go, I have two answers. A) The Rambam may hold that one can actually go on the Makon Ha'mikdash as the  Rambam adds that "I went into the Great Holy Building and I prayed there" so he must have gone into the mosque itself. B) Today we have greater knowledge where exactly the Bais Ha'Mikdash stood because of the Archaeological digs of Charles Warren in 1867, and so we know the areas on the Har Habayis that are permitted. Moreover, we have records that Jews went up to the Har Habyis after the destruction of the Second Bais Hamikdash. According to Rabbi Wein, Jews  went up to the Har Habyis during the times of the Rishonim, and not one Gadol at the time said that it was prohibited. 

The gedoilim that prohibit going on the Har Habayis may have not known of the existence of these letters. The Poiskim alive today totally ignore the Rambam's experience because none of them is brave enough to come out and discuss this. Many of these poiskim that prohibit are only prohibiting because they are afraid to antagonize the Arabs. This argument has been proven false more times than you can count. If Jews would stop going up to the Har Habayis, the Arabs would find other excuses to kill Jews. Why were they killing Jews when the Jordanians had the Har Habyis from 1948-1967, when not one Jew entered anywhere close to the Har Habyis?

Arabs don't need excuses to kill Jews, they murdered Jews before we had the Kotel, Mearas Ha'machpeilah, Kever Rachel. 

My "taaneh" to Rabbi Hoffman is that he was disingenuous in his analysis, omitting the above important ideas that directly oppose his Yeshivishe agenda to satisfy the tiger nipping at his heals. He is a coward!

By Rabbi Yair Hoffman for 5tjt.com

Recently, it was widely reported that Ben Shapiro and others travelled to and entered he Temple Mount. While the sentiment that lies behind his action is certainly admirable in that he wishes to ensure Jewish sovereignty over har habayis, the action itself lies in stark contrast to the position of the great poskim of the generation, Rav Edelstein shlita, Rav Elyashiv zatzal, Rav Chaim zatzal, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt”l, and so many others. What follows is a halachic analysis of why we should not, at this point, be praying on the Har Habayis. The author feels bad because Ben Shapiro is someone that the author admires greatly.

Ben Shapiro visits the Har Habayit

 

Prominent personality Ben Shapiro and his father, currently in Israel, visited the Temple Mount on Sunday and prayed Minchah (the afternoon prayer) there.

It was the first time the elder Shapiro had ascended to the Mount. His mother passed away recently.

Ben Shapiro himself has visited the Temple Mount before but was removed by security guards during his visit, which he made with his wife. Guards ordered the entire group of Jews to leave after several members of the group (the Shapiros apparently not included) began to sing while on the Mount.

On this visit, Shapiro expressed his satisfaction with the positive atmosphere and improvements in the conditions for Jews visiting the holy site.

"You can't come to Israel and not visit the Temple Mount," he said.

Accompanying the Shapiros on Sunday was Rabbi Yehuda Levi from the temple Mount Yeshiva and Rabbi Shimshon Elbaum, the head of the Temple Mount administration.

Rabbi Elbaum lauded the visitors for prioritizing the Mount during their visit. He also blessed that they merit to see the rebuilt Temple in their lifetimes.

Thousands Attend Satmar Business Expo

 

(VINnews/SandyEller) – More than 4,000 people flocked to the Garden State on Wednesday for the first-ever trade show dedicated to furthering business within the Satmar community.

Held at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, the full day expo was a project of Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar and the Hisachdus Avreichim D’Satmar. The show cast the spotlight on the community’s thriving entrepreneurial spirit, with over 300 booths reflecting the Satmar presence in a wide variety of industries including finance, insurance, real estate, construction, technology, health care, food, publishing and more.

Designed to encourage members of the Satmar congregation to support each other’s businesses, the event was open to the entire Jewish community, with all exhibitors and vendors hailing from the Satmar community.

The event was heavily subsidized by the Satmar congregation, with admission kept to just $5 a person in order to encourage attendance. Running from 9 AM to 8 PM, the expo provided a wealth of networking opportunities, three full meals and discussions on matters of Jewish law and business, with prominent rabbonim and leaders of the legal, accounting and financing worlds sharing their experience and advice throughout the day at informative lectures.

Rabbanim Who Are Banning Rav Melamed's Halacha Sefarim Are Still Allowing Monster Walder Books

Hasidic boys like mine don’t receive the education they deserve

 

Beatrice Weber

by Beatrice Weber 

In September 2019, almost 1,000 days ago, I filed a complaint with New York City and Yeshiva Mesivta Arugath Habosem, alleging that my youngest son, who was 6 years old at the time, was not receiving a secular education as required by NYS law. 

The New York Supreme Court this past week finally confirmed [https://forward.com/fast-forward/505315/state-supreme-court-sides-with-mother-in-dispute-over-sons-yeshiva-education] what I’ve known all along: The Education Department is not following up on complaints that the Hasidic yeshivas are failing to provide a secular education, but instead is giving parents the runaround.

I am a mother of 10 children, six of them boys, all of whom have attended Hasidic yeshivas where they receive six hours of instruction in basic English and math a week at best, for just five of their elementary school years.

Satmar's Twitter account Support antisemites

 

Satmar has a twitter account? Don't they keep screaming and makin asifas against the internet?

Aha!

These asifas are only to show the world that they are on board, but the internet is necessary for Satmar to export their baseless hatred for the State of Israel.

Anti-Zionism is the glue that holds Satmar together, and if you should take this away, they basically have nothing as their Hungarian "minhagim" are only recent. and as a chassidus they have nothing else to sell or offer. Most of them, to their credit are very smart business people, but in Torah learning they leave much to be desired. Those of them that like to learn, join Litvishe and Yeshivishe Kollilm. Some of them even started a Chavrusa situation learning the Torahs of Harav Kook z"l and this started in Monsey and now secretly spreading to other Satmar enclaves.

 According to Satmar's  twisted logic  "twitter" and "whatsapp" aren't the internet, even though those apps can only be accessed by smartphones. 

Officially they don't have any accounts on the internet but of course if you ask any Satmar guy, they will laugh because there is at least 5 "official" Satmar Twitter accounts that keep the sheep up to date of what's going on in their community, and there are hundreds of Whatsapp groups that they and their wives access.

The main Satmar  Twitter accounts have all the Satmar official statements in Yiddish. I am very familiar with these groups as I am a member.

Neturei Karta the "Eirav Rav" of the Jewish community is 100% supported by Satmar both financially and politically, though they deny it. It wasn't too long ago when we wrote extensively about it as we followed the money of the Neturei Karta and we pointed out that the main fundraising office of the Neturei Karta then was in the office of Der Yid. I haven't checked lately if they are still there.

Neturei Karta have a website and a twitter account that go by the name of "Torah True Jews" and "Original Jews"  which is hilarious because this group has nothing to do with Torah and they are nor original;  a Jew should sooner follow the Reform and conservative movements before they entertain following these self hating barbarians. Of course the guys writing for "Torah True Jews" and "Original Jews"  like Shapiro of Queens are huge Neturei Karta supporters and speak at their rallies.

The Satmar Twitter accounts frequently "Like" the Neturi Karta Twitter garbage and of course they follow and "like" the fake Iranian Rabbi who supports the Iranian murderers who vowed to wipe Israel off the map.
