Rav Sternbuch adds a mitzva to the 613, Mitzva for Naftali Bennet to remove his kipa!


Rav Sternbuch as the leader of the Eida Chareidis, seemingly has the power to add mitzvos to the Torah! What's unique about this mitzvah is, that this mitzvah will only apply to one person,
Naftali Bennett, the Bayit Yehudi Leader.
Rav Sternbuch stated “Bennett would do a mitzvah by removing his yarmulke. I do not have menucha day or night due to their silence regarding the awful gezeira to do away with Am Yisrael’s yichus.
The Rav made his remarks earlier this week in Netivot during a kenos in support of Rav Abarjil Shlita.

So what did Naftali Bennett do to deserve this special Mitzvah, you ask?
He advocates a push to integrate Chareidie men, most of whom are unemployed, into the workforce.

Yoy Vei, Chas V'sholom, such a terrible  "gezeira"?

Now listen to the punch line, sit down, guys
.
"The Rav also expressed concerns over the growing Chilul Shabbos in Eretz Yisrael today, headed by Tel Aviv, where stores are now opening on Shabbos with the support of officials."

So I ask, I haven't heard one peep out of him about the massive Chillul Shabbos that's going to take place to prepare for the tremendous crowds this Motzei Shabbos, Lag B'Omer in Meron!

How many police officers, how many buses, are going to have to be prepared on Shabbos itself?
Why isn't Rav Sternbuch concerned about Chillul Shabbos on this very  shabbos?
You know why? The Organizers would come out with Kol Korahs that he has dementia, that's why!
I did hear that the Mizrachi Rabbis are keeping their Yeshivos open this coming Sunday and will celebrate Lag B'Omer in Meron on Monday to avoid Chillul Shabbos? How about that?

Heshy Frank of Quality Carpets dies on Plane

A Boro Park  man is dead after suffering a heart attack mid flight from Florida to New York, rescue workers in New York said.

64-year-old Herschel Frank of Borough Park, Brooklyn, was returning from a vacation along with his wife.

The incident began as the plane began to descend towards John F Kennedy Airport. Frank’s wife noticed that her husband was not feeling well and alerted the flight attendants.

Frank soon lost consciousness. Crew members performed CPR, but to no avail. Paramedics who were waiting at the gate, declared Frank dead.

Lag Ba'Omer Parade banned to Satmar Chassidim because of Chabad "Propaganda"

Remember the Lag B'Omer parade on Eastern Parkway, when you were a kid? 
If you are a Satmar Chassid, you will have to sit home this Lag B'omer, and nibble on your pizza, because Chabad is looking to recruit Satmarer Chassidim to their cause, according to posters hung all over Williamsburg.

The Satmars have very little confidence in their own way of life and are terrified that their children may get seduced by Lubavitch lifestyle. 
So they are banning it!
Hat tip: Nuchem Rosenberg
Loose translation:
Heading: Yeshivah Torah V'Yirah Satmar

In honor of our esteemed parents,

Since  Lubavitch  is organizing a Lag B'Omer Parade
and they propagandize, to seduce Heimishe Children to their way of life, a lifestyle that our Rabbis do not approve.

Therefore, we are asking you not to allow your children to attend!

Hashem should help, that the merit of Reb Shimon ben Yochai should shield us, we should be able to educate our children in ways of Hashem and His Torah, with joy and Nachas, Amen!

I guess it's better for Satmar that the "Tuna Biegels" go totally off the derech than to Chas V'Sholom become a Lubavitcher!

Vizhnitzer Rebbe rants against Modern Eyeglasses


The Vizhnitzer Rebbe, Rav Yisroel Hager, has B"H no other problems. 
EXCEPT for the following burning issue: 
His yungeleit are wearing the latest eyeglass frames!

They all wear the same style Shtrimlich, they all wear "Kortzeh Hoizen" (Breeches) with White Shtrimp (socks), they all wear Bekeshes .... so the only way one can make his own fashion statement, would be to get different eyeglass frames!

So after eating a little schmaltz herring, and sipping some Malaga Wine, at Shalosh Seudois, this past Shabbos (no reports at this time, on what he did first, eat the herring or drink the wine), the Rebbe gave a powerful speech strongly condemning this latest fad!

The Rebbe also spoke with great pain to those who have the "addiction" to listen to the constant barrage of news of our communities."

In other words, he doesn't even want them to be privy of any news in their own Bnei -Brak Community!

I give up!

Observation: The Rebbe himself doesn't wear glasses!

De Blasio gets criticism for attending Pro-Israel Meeting from Jews!

Self Hating Jew Liz Krueger

What motivates a Jew, to stab, so to speak, Israel, in the back? There is a self-hating liberal organization that calls itself J Street, that masquerades as a pro-Israel lobby, but is really against everything any Jew stands for.
Why isn't Aguda fighting these bastards? Why isn't there one Rebbe or Rosh Yeshivah on record, chastising these destructive animals?
Wouldn't this be an opportunity to show the world that in this respect we are all united against J Street?

State Senator Liz Krueger who hates her own religion sent an email to the Mayor criticizing him for attending a pro Israel meeting! 

We have to either e-mail or call State Senator Liz Krueger and tell her that we are not supporting her anti-Israel stance!

Read from the Daily News

Mayor Bill de Blasio received major criticism for attending January’s meeting of American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) new emails show.

In emails obtained by NY Daily News  de Blasio was told he needed “a broader education on NY Jewish/Israel issues to avoid future blow ups” in one email sent by State Sen. Liz Krueger to de Blasio’s aide Emma Wolfe.
“I am actually getting as many angry messages from Jewish non-AIPAC folks (Anti Israel, J Street and Peace Now Supporters) than I did on the east side snow problems,” Krueger continued.

De Blasio offered support to the pro-Israel group, stating that City Hall will “always be open to AIPAC.”

Self Hating Liberal Jews who support the mayor were angered by the mayor’s seemingly upfront position to support the pro-Israel group.

Victor Kovner, a board member of the Jewish group J Street, an Anti-Semite, attempted to get a meeting with the mayor to offer a different liberal viewpoint of Jewish politics. He sent an email to City Hall Jan. 31 asking for a meeting with de Blasio.
“I thought you had made clear that Saturday or Sunday would be work for the Mayor,” Kovner wrote to Avi Fink, Wolfe’s deputy who supervises Jewish affairs for the mayor. “Among the subjects to be covered will be the impact of the (AIPAC) speech upon New Yorkers.”

De Blasio did end up holding a 10-minute conference call on Feb. 2 with J Street leaders.

A City Hall spokesperson stated, “Mayor de Blasio recognizes the deep bond and friendship between the U.S. and Israel, and is deeply supportive of the President’s efforts to achieve a two-state solution that secures Israel’s future as the democratic homeland of the Jewish people.”

De Blasio’s Jan. 23 appearance before AIPAC was not listed on his public schedule, but a reporter for Capital New York recorded part of the speech before getting kicked out.

New Cure for Childless Women .. Smash Your Iphone, Says Self Appointed Rabbi

You first have to spend $600.00 to buy a smartphone, so that you can smash it!
He doesn't want you to sell it, if you already own one, because then he won't be able to perform his crazy performance on UTUBE!

Rabbi Lior Glazer, came up with this brand new segulah, for women who are unfortunately desperate to have children, and he takes advantage of these clueless souls.

How demented can someone get, to come up with these shenanigans?
What about the thousands of women who are childless and don't own a smartphone? What Segulah does he have for them?

Gedoilei Yisroel endorsed the Mayor of Modi'in Illit and now they want him out, because he wants to appoint an "Aguda Guy"

 Peace between Israel and Arabs must be at hand, because their is plenty of time for  Chareidim to fight with each other! Looks like the Army issue, is more or less taken care of. They are not going to the Army, because the רבש''ע, with the help of the Chilonim  are going to protect them and their Mosdos HaTorah!
 Litvishe and Chassidishe Gedolim pushed Yaakov Gutterman as their candidate for Mayor in Modi'in Illit.
He won! So you would think, "Oy! We could breath now!
No such chance! The Mayor made a big Boo Boo, he appointed an Aguda guy for Deputy Mayor?

Nope! He is not a Chilonie, No, he doesn't wear a Kipah Seruga Chas V'sholom. 
Yes, He is a Shomer Torah U'mitzvos.
So stop keeping us in suspense, what did he do?
Does he have a criminal past? Nope
Is he a molester? Nope
So what did he do already? I can't take it much longer! 
Here goes ... I didn't make this up? I don't have such a big imagination!
The one appointed is a member of Aguda! And not Degel!
There I said it!!
Crazy? No?


The machlokes between MK Moshe Gafne and Modi’in Illit Mayor Rav Yaakov Gutterman is intensifying and it is clear that Gafne is doing his utmost to unseat the mayor from his post.
A hearing was held in a Modi’in Illit beis din headed by Rav Moshe Kessler Shlita in which Gafne’s opposition to appointing Agudas Yisrael’s Tuvia Freind as deputy mayor instead the Degel candidate was heard.
One major question is the beis din jurisdiction to discuss the matter for according to Gafne, this is no ordinary Halachic machlokes but a sensitive public political matter that must decided by Gedolei Yisrael Shlita, no one else. 

Gafne used a psak from HaGaon HaRav Nissim Karelitz Shlita from a case filed against him from expellees from Gush Katif. Freind however maintains the issue has to do with monetary matters as well, making it the beis din’s jurisdiction.

Kikar Shabbos reports that Gafne was on the offensive, launching a scathing attack against Gutterman and his handling of the city. Gafne told the beis din that even Maran HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv ZT”L did not rely on Gutterman and this is the case today as well pertaining to Maran HaGaon HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman’s Shlita lack of trust in the mayor.
“I am stating in a loud clear voice that he does not represent gedolei yisrael” Gafne told the beis din.

Gutterman is a member of Degel Yisrael but he still wishes to appoint Agudas Yisrael Councilman Tuvia Freind as a deputy mayor and not the Degel councilman, Mordechai Goldberg. Gafne insists that the mayor is defying the word of Maran HaGaon HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita and is now working to oust him from his post.

Cardinal O'Connor's Grandfather was a שוחט


John Cardinal O’Connor, the beloved late archbishop of New York, had a grandfather who was a rabbi and a kosher butcher. No wonder he always wore a kipah!

The astonishing revelation comes after a Long Island genealogist pulled century-old records to reveal the cardinal’s grandpa, Gustav Gumple, was listed the “second rabbi” at a synagogue in Bridgeport, Conn., The Jewish Week reported.
Gumple worked at a “meat market” and may have also been a shochet — a worker trained and licensed to slaughter animals in a manner prescribed by Jewish law, according to the genealogist, Renee Steinig.
“And like many of us, he even had an Aunt Minnie,” said Steinig, a former president of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Long Island.
Steinig was inspired to dig through old records — including 19th century Census data and Hamburg emigration papers — “out of curiosity” after the cardinal’s 87-year-old sister, Mary O’Connor Ward, learned recently their mother was born Jewish.
She had converted to Catholicism at age 19 but kept it a secret from her children, Ward said.
“I was stunned, breathless at the thought . . . It was a surprise I never expected,” she wrote in a personal essay published in Catholic New York.
She added, “Soon I was filled with joy as I came to know our family story in a completely new way.”
Joseph Zwilling, a longtime spokesman for the archdiocese who knew Cardinal O’Connor well, said the religious leader had never hinted he might be Jewish.
“As far as we can tell, he was not aware of it. He certainly knew his mother was a convert and had spoken about that. But he never gave any indication she had converted from Judaism,” Zwilling said.
He added, “He had a warm relationship with Jewish people . . . I think he would have been proud.”
In some records pulled by Steinig, the cardinal’s grandpa’s name is spelled “Gumpel,” not “Gumple” — but the timeline, addresses and names of relatives match up, she said.
Ward discovered her mom had converted by reading old church records while doing research on family history.
O’Connor died in 2000 at age 80 after serving 16 years as New York’s archbishop.

Coffee can save your sight


A daily cup of coffee can save your eyesight, scientists claim.
A chemical found in the drink prevents deteriorating eyesight and possible blindness from retinal degeneration due to glaucoma, ageing and diabetes.
Researchers at Cornell Univesity in New York were looking at coffee's antioxidant effects when they made the discovery.
Coffee contains 1 per cent caffeine but between 7 and 9 per cent chlorogenic acid which is a strong antioxidant.
The study, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, found that in mice this acid prevented retinal degeneration.

Chang Y. Lee, a professor of food science and the study's senior author said: ‘The retina is a thin tissue layer on the inside, back wall of the eye with millions of light-sensitive cells and other nerve cells that receive and organise visual information.
‘It is also one of the most metabolically active tissues, demanding high levels of oxygen and making it prone to oxidative stress.

The lack of oxygen and production of free radicals leads to tissue damage and loss of sight.’
He added: ‘The study is important in understanding functional foods, that is, natural foods that provide beneficial health effects.
‘Coffee is the most popular drink in the world, and we are understanding what benefit we can get from that.’
Previous studies have shown that coffee also cuts the risk of such chronic diseases as Parkinson's, prostate cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and age-related cognitive declines.


 

Monsey Molester Alert! UPDATE

The Guy in the picture allegedly molested a young lady in the "Monsey Market Place" shopping strip on Route 59 and 306.
He was first pacing up and down the strip and noticed a modern young lady exiting one of the restaurants.
He then followed her to her car, and when she clicked her door open, he quickly opened the passenger door and slid inside the car. He then asked her which direction she was going, when she responded "306 northbound," he said he was going that way too.

She then decided reluctantly, since he looked like a Rabbi with שווארצע זאקין  "Shvartzeh Zokin", the traditional  "Rebbishe Black socks," that she would give him the ride.

As she put her car in reverse, she turned her head around, he then attacked her, molesting her. She started screaming "GET OUT" so he put his face next to her and his arm around her and said, "then just give me a hug."
She started screaming "Get the F--- out of my car" he then panicked and jumped out!

If you recognize this pig please email: dusiznies@aol.com or Ramapo Police!

the video, from a security camera, and they said the description of this guy fits the description of many complaints to the Police. He goes after children as well!
He hitch hikes alot  so please be careful!

Chana Barnett 21, dies in car crash

A Chasidishe young lady  is dead after being run over by a vehicle, rescue workers in Israel said.

21-year-old Chana Sheina Barnett married Simcha Bunim Barnett of Arad, in January.

Last week, while crossing a street, she was run over by the vehicle. The woman’s father was identified as Meir Yosef Hershkowitz.

The serious car accident occurred on Tuesday in Arad.

The 21-year-old woman of the local Hasidic community was crossing Choruv Street, when the taxi driver hit her. Paramedics who arrived at the scene, gave her primary medical care, and she was transported by helicopter to a hospital.

The woman had suffered bruises to her head and all over her body.

 Barnett succumbed to her injuries on Tuesday.

Iran Bans WhatsApp, Didn't Satmar ban it too?

This is too funny for words! You can't make this stuff up!

Iran bans WhatsApp because the one who runs this app is the American Zionist" Zuckerberg!
Satmar banned WhatsApp a couple of weeks ago too...

Yes, of course, Satmar banned it because they say that it breaks the family up! 
But there are many Apps that have the ability of group-texting, but Satmar singled out WhatsApp...

The bottom line is that both the Iranian Mullas and the Satmar Mullas have a lot in common....
Both hate Zionists and both want the State of Israel to disappear! And now, they both don't want their communities to use WhatsApp ....
I suspect that the Iranian Mullas read "Der Yid," how else would they know that Zuckerberg is a Zionist? 

An Iranian censor has banned the uber-popular messaging app WhatsApp and apparently it's Mark Zuckerberg's fault... because he's Jewish.

According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, certain Iranian officials have pushed for the WhatsApp ban since the company was bought Facebook in February. Those officials oppose Facebook -- and now WhatsApp -- because they're run by the "American Zionist" Zuckerberg.
"The reason for this is the adoption of WhatsApp by the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who is an American Zionist," secretary of the Committee for Determining Criminal Web Content Abdolsamad Khorramabadi said, according to Haaretz.

Arab Burqa Lady Terrorizes Passaic Jews On Shabbos

Illustration of Arab Lady Terrorists

This past Shabbos afternoon, an Arab Woman in black burqa and head scarf went ballistic when some Jewish children were playing near the street in Passaic.
 She was in a gold minivan and the license plate starts with a "J". 

She honked and yelled out the window "go back to your country .״ 

When one of the parents of the children yelled back " you go back to your country !" She stopped her car, backed up, got out of her car , walked up to the biggest guy and got in his face and said 
"I should slit all your throats!"

One of the gentleman asked her nicely to get back into the car and she finally left. 
Passaic is close to Patterson which has the largest Palestinian population in the US.

Police are investigating and asking anyone who either saw the incident or encountered her to contact them ; they are filing it as a bias incident! 

US JEWS ARE DOING NOTHING TO COMBAT ANTI-SEMITISM ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES


by guest writer Han Mazziq

As a young Israeli who had just completed five years of service in the IDF, I looked forward to my new job educating people in the Pacific Northwest about Israel. I was shocked, however, by the anti-Israel bigotry and hostility I encountered, especially in the greater Seattle area, Oregon, and Berkeley. I had been very liberal, a member of the leftist Zionist party, Meretz, but the anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel that I have seen in the U.S. has changed my outlook personally and politically

As part of my work as an educator at StandWithUs, between January and May of this year, I  traveled to college campuses, high schools and churches, sharing the history of modern Israel.  I also shared personal stories about growing up in the Jewish state, and about my family. I always spoke about my military service as an officer in an IDF COGAT unit that attends to the needs of Palestinian civilians who are not involved in the conflict and promotes Palestinian civil society. Each time I would speak and take questions for an hour or more. I have shared my personal story with over 16,000 people at many, many college campuses and high schools, including UC Berkeley, Stanford, the University of Washington, Seattle University and many others. Many of those to whom I spoke were supportive, friendly, and open to hearing about my Israel. But, sadly, far too many were not.
When I served as a soldier in the West Bank, I got used to having ugly things said to me, but nothing prepared me for the misinformation, demonization of Israel, and the gut-wrenching, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic hostility expressed by many students, professors, church members, and even some high school students right here in the Pacific Northwest.
I was further shocked by how unaware the organized Jewish community is and how little they are actually doing to counter this rising anti-Semitism, which motivated me to write this article.
This new form of bigotry against Israel has been called the “new anti-Semitism,” with “Israel” replacing “Jew” in traditional anti-Semitic imagery and canards, singling out and discriminating against the Jewish state, and denying the Jewish people alone the right to self-determination. The new anti-Semitism is packaged in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign (BDS), which claims to champion Palestinian rights though its real goal is to erode American support for Israel, discredit Jews who support Israel, and pave the way for eliminating the Jewish state. One of BDS’ central demands is the “complete right of return” for all the descendants of the original Palestinian refugees, subtle language that means the end of Israel as the Jewish homeland because it would turn Israel into a Palestinian-Arab majority state.
It is surprising that an extremist group like BDS is ever taken seriously, but BDS advocates have found receptive audiences in some circles. Their campaigns are well organized and in many cases, well financed. They have lobbied universities, corporations, food co-ops, churches, performing artists, labor unions, and other organizations to boycott Israel and companies that do business with Israel. But even if these groups don’t agree to treat Israel as a pariah state, the BDS activists manage to spread their anti-Israel misinformation, lies and prejudice simply by forcing a debate based on their false claims about Israel.
To give you a taste of the viciousness of the BDS attacks, let me cite just a few of the many shocking experiences I have had. At a BDS event in Portland, a professor from a Seattle university told the assembled crowd that the Jews of Israel have no national rights and should be forced out of the country. When I asked, “Where do you want them to go?” she calmly answered, “I don’t care. I don’t care if they don’t have any place else to go. They should not be there.” When I responded that she was calling for ethnic cleansing, both she and her supporters denied it. And during a presentation in Seattle, I spoke about my longing for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. When I was done, a woman in her 60’s stood up and yelled at me, “You are worse than the Nazis. You are just like the Nazi youth!” A number of times I was repeatedly accused of being a killer, though I have never hurt anyone in my life. On other occasions, anti-Israel activists called me a rapist. The claims go beyond being absurd – in one case, a professor asked me if I knew how many Palestinians have been raped by IDF forces. I answered that as far as I knew, none. She triumphantly responded that I was right, because, she said, “You IDF soldiers don’t rape Palestinians because Israelis are so racist and disgusted by them that you won’t touch them.”
Such irrational accusations are symptomatic of dangerous anti-Semitism. Yet, alarmingly, most mainstream American Jews are completely oblivious to this ugly movement and the threat it poses. They seem to be asleep, unaware that this anti-Jewish bigotry is peddled on campuses, by speakers in high schools, churches, and communities, and is often deceptively camouflaged in the rhetoric of human rights.
The American Jewish community and its leaders are not providing a united front to combat this latest threat. Unfortunately, this repeats a pattern of Jewish communal groups failing to unite in a timely way to counter threats against us individually and as a community.
Shockingly, a small but very vocal number of Jews actively support BDS. They often belong to organizations that prominently include “Jewish” in their names, like Jewish Voice for Peace, to give cover to BDS and the anti-Semitism that animates it. A question that we, as a Jewish community must ask ourselves, is whether it is ever appropriate to include and accept Jews who support BDS and directly or indirectly advocate the ultimate elimination of the Jewish State of Israel.
I think it is not.
My experiences in America have changed me. I never expected to encounter such hatred and lies. I never believed that such anti-Semitism still existed, especially in the U.S. I never knew that the battlefield was not just Gaza, the West Bank, and hostile Middle Eastern countries wanting to destroy Israel and kill our citizens and soldiers. It is also here in America, where a battle must be waged against prejudice and lies.
I implore American Jews: do more.
Israel cannot fight this big battle alone. If you are affiliated with a Jewish organization, let it know you want it to actively, openly and unequivocally oppose the BDS campaign and those who support it. Inform yourself, your friends and families, by visiting websites of organizations like StandWithUs, Jewish Virtual Library, AIPAC, AJC and others that will update you and provide information about BDS and anti-Semitism.
I urge the organized Jewish community and its members to wake up and stand up for the Jewish state of Israel, and for all it represents, and for all it works to achieve.

UPS GUY MAKES A SHIDDUCH!


This Shadchan wasn’t your typical matchmaker, but thanks to his persistence and some divine providence brought a couple together. Meet Terry, your friendly neighborhood UPS delivery guy.
Anyone working or living on Eastern Parkway or Union Street in Crown Heights, and received a package from UPS, knows Terry. His extra friendly and kind demeanor is hard to miss, and when dropping by homes and businesses in the neighborhood he is always known to try and make ‘shidduchim’.
And after dozens of different suggestions, this time it actually worked out!
After years of making deliveries on Eastern Parkway where the Goldin family lives, which is just one block over from where Mrs. Regina SimonChana’s mother works, Terry had began suggesting that they ‘go out’.
“At first everyone just dismissed it, thinking it was cute that he was suggesting names” the Chosson Zevi Goldin told CrownHeights.info, adding that later an uncle of the Kallah had gone through the motions and set them up “But it was Terry who is the Shadchan” he said.
Last week the Goldin and Simon families celebrated the Lechaim of the new couple, and Terry’s presence was hard to miss.

A Tale of 2 Magazines Mishpacha and Ami. How to deal with the Secular Israelis


For the last two weeks, Mishpacha, after taking a poll from Israeli Chilonimsuddenly discovered that 90% of Chilonim don't hate Chareidim and that 70% don't mind living with them. 

Mishpacha found out that the Chareidie "mental self-image as a persecuted minority, besieged on all sides by a hostile, secular majority, is simply untrue."
"Yes, the poll found out that there is hatred and revulsion toward Chareidim but chiefly among journalists, politicians, college professors etc."

As a result  Mishpacha has decided to adjust their thinking and their future  reporting.

In this weeks issue, Rabbi Moshe Grylak, says, "It's time to stop seeing every secular Jew as a רשע.
If we must label him, let's call him a Tinok Shenishbah, in accordance with the ruling of the Chazon Ish ז''ל, ....that this person thinks and acts the way he does because he never had the benefit of a traditional Jewish education." 
"Yes, we may argue with him. Yes, we may fiercely oppose his way of life. But hatred has no place here."

Rabbi Grylak continues:
"Who knows how much friction might have been resolved peacefully had we not barricaded ourselves behind walls of error all these years?"

He concludes:
"And if the average secular Israeli were to feel us treating him with respect and dignity, it would be easy for him to reject the hostile influences that constantly try to infiltrate his heart."

Yonoson Rosenblum, who we have criticized in the past, also did a 360 degree reversal, he writes in the same issue in reference to the Mishpacha poll: 
"The secular public, it turns out, doesn't hate us, but neither do they know us. They are, however, open to greater contact, even eager for it."
To summarize what he wrote?  The Chareidim have to be mekareiv them and to reach out to them!
Not to throw stones and yell and scream!

Contrast the Mishpacha approach with the filthy rag Ami!
In this weeks issue he interviews Rav Reuven Elbaz, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Or Hachaim.

Rav Elbaz is a gentle soul, wouldn't hurt a fly and dedicated his life to Kiruv! 
He had a meeting recently with the heads of Israel Security and Intelligence community. 

The clown, Yitzy Frankfurter interviews him, and desperately  tries to coax him into castigating the Chilonim,
he even puts words in Rav Elbaz's mouth!

Here is a sample of his hateful questions and excerpts of Rav Elbaz's answer:

Clown YF:  You didn't discuss the draft law with them? (notice, how he zeros in on Machlokas, just like Korach)

R' Elbaz: We did, but it wasn't central to the conversation. They are primarily afraid civil war. I told them: Look, we've been living together almost 70 years. Haven't we always had extreme differences of opinion and ways of life? We are the ones who have to choose which path we want to take.
If we live with this philosophy then there is nothing to worry about. Peace and brotherhood are the key; jealously and competion are poison.
(Did you notice R' Elbaz's approach?)

They talk a little about the Atzeres, and then the Clown persists 

Clown YF: Did the Rav try to put pressure on them to repeal the draft law? (He wants to hear Rav Elbaz curse the Chilonim, but Rav Elbaz will have none of that)
R' Elbaz: I believe we have the upper hand, but we must trust in Hashem even in the darkest times, so we don't have to worry.

So there you have it, which way, do you think, will actually work?

 I read last week's edition of the Satmar Yiddish Newspaper, DER YID, and after an hour of reading the hateful diatribes of the writers, (no different than reading Der Sturmer) I really felt that there was no hope, but after reading Mishpacha's reversal in reporting Israeli News, I got hopeful, knowing  that we are finally turning a corner!
And I sincerely believe that the blogs and comments had something to do with this decision. 
I have been tough on Satmar, but it's not because I hate them, it's because they continue to disparage a majority of Klall Yisroel.
I know that they do Chesed etc, but writing hateful articles week after week, loading their hearts and souls with profanity will not cover for anything good they do.
When I bought DER YID, I noticed a young Satmar guy with DER YID, DER ZEITUNG and DER BLATT under his arm. So I jokingly remarked in Yiddish, " די האסט געניג זנית פאר א גאנצ יאהר!
"You have enough pornography to last you the entire year! 
He laughed and told me that he doesn't read the opinions, it would turn him into an anti-Semite!
No truer words have ever been uttered by a Satmar Chasid!
