Zionist Government approves increased yeshiva funding

The yeshiva budget will return to its pre-2013 level, set before Lapid became Finance Minister in previous government.

So the Zionists are continuing to be the biggest Torah supporters ever recorded in the entire history of the Jewish people.

Just in the year 2015 ...the Zionists funded Yeshivas to the tune of 1 billion  Shekels ..thats is approx $250 million US dollars!

Just a couple of weeks ago, R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum of Satmar brought a measly pittance 5 million dollars to fund Mosdos that refuse to take money from the Zionists.... equivalent to a drop of water in the Atlantic Ocean!

Bur nevertheless,  followers of R' Zalman Leib are still furious of this gesture, because in order to get this kind of money he had to raise tuition of the Satmar students in his Williamsburg mosdos! Robin Hood in a Shtrimel!

The truth is that the mosdods in Israel that supposedly refuse to take money from the government, benefit from the Zionists in many ways .... i.e.   using the infrastructures that the Zionists built, using the Police, firefighters, garbage disposal etc ... etc ...

Liberals Demand We Accept Men Who Identify as Women, But They Refuse to Accept Terrorists Who Identify as Muslim

Normally I try not to post unZnisdikeh Pictures, but the photo on the left is a MAN!

Okay, stop and think of this. 

To Obama, to Hillary, to Democrats and the American left, whenever a guy says that he's a woman, she's a woman.  

When a woman says, "No, no, no, I present as a guy," the left says, "There's a guy! There's a guy!" 

So if you're a woman and you want to be a man and you tell a Democrat you're a man, you're a man. 

 If you're a man that wants to be a woman -- and you tell the Democrats you're a woman and you want to use the woman's bathroom and you're a man -- they say, "Fine, have  it!"

Tell 'em you're a Muslim; they say, "No.  No.  No.  it's not because of your "peaceful" religion... You must be  inspired by Republicans."  

Men and women who want to present as opposite can tell Democrats that that's who they are, and there's no doubt whatsoever.  

Somebody comes along and says, "I'm a Muslim!  I don't like you! I don't like the fact you're an infidel. I'm gonna blow up every institution of yours I can," 

 The Democrats say.  "I'm not sure that we're dealing with Muslims,. 

 Isn't it amazing? 

Obama and Hillary only interested in "Global Warming"

Behaalotcha (Israel): What brought on the rebellions?

Rabbi Wein

by Rabbi Berel Wein

Somehow, things start to go very wrong for Moshe and the Jewish people regarding their sojourn in the desert of Sinai, on their way to the Promised Land of Israel. The defection of Yitro, though for honorable and seemingly noble reasons, weakens the resolution of the rest of Israel to somehow enter and conquer their God-given homeland.

The rabbis warned us that wise people and leaders should be very careful as to what they say publicly and privately. This certainly applies to what they do and how people will view their behavior and decisions in life.

We always feel that leaders are somehow entitled to a private life as well, distinct from their public persona. However, we also all know that that is not really true and that private decisions taken by public figures have a great, if even only subliminal, influence on the general public that they serve.

There were elements within the Jewish people that reasoned that if Yitro, the father-in-law of Moshe and one of the outstanding and prominent converts to Judaism, felt that dwelling in the Land of Israel is not really for him, then there will be many others among the masses of Israel that will justify their refusal to enter the Land of Israel as just being a case of following his example.

And so, because the great vision of the Jewish homeland promised to their forefathers was no longer paramount in their lives, some of the people began to gripe and complain about all sorts of personal absurdities. This eventually led to open rebellion against God and against Moshe that doomed that generation to destruction and death in the desert of Sinai.

Without going into specifics or mentioning names, I am always astounded by how former political leaders here in Israel, even those who attained high office and are now freelancing and lecturing their way around the world, take it upon themselves to be openly critical – and many times unfairly so – of the government, state and people of Israel.

Can it be that they do not realize the direct and subliminal harm that they inflict upon our cause and our future? This must be the case, since I cannot imagine that they have truly evil intentions with pursuing this type of behavior. They mean well and have legitimate reasons for their opinions and statements.

But they have forgotten the adage of the rabbis that I quoted above – wise men should be careful with their words and actions. Other people are listening and are influenced - and one may even inadvertently grant aid and succor to those who wish to destroy us and our nation. It does not take much in our world to have people begin murmuring in dissatisfaction about Jews, Judaism, Israel, Torah and even God, so to speak.

One must always see the big picture and not be overwhelmed by the imperfections and difficult issues that are part of our existence, and in fact, of life itself. Retaining our faith in our cause and our beliefs and using good judgment in what we say and do will certainly stand all of us in good stead.

Rosenberg challenges "Fat" Nadler on Iran

Challenger Oliver Rosenberg asks how Rep. Nadler can be pro-LGBT, yet support Iran’s regime.

Oliver Rosenberg

In the wake of the Orlando Massacre in which 49 people were murdered by a Muslim terrorist, Oliver Rosenberg, a Jewish Democratic challenger to Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D), has stated that the incumbent, Congressman Jerry Nadler, “ needs to explain how he can be pro-LGBT” when he voted for and  supported the Iran nuclear deal.

That deal, he noted, gave “$150 billion to an Iranian regime that preaches anti-gay hatred and terror.  How can Jerry Nadler claim to be pro-gay and fund an Iranian anti-gay terror regime at the same time?”

Rosenberg’s press release stated that the “Islamist theocratic dictators of Iran hang gay men.” Regarding the Orlando massacre, he asserted, “An imam from Iran who says gay people should be killed spoke at an Orlando mosque just weeks before the attack.”

Rosenberg is running for US Congress in the June 28th Democratic primary.

He is the first primary challenger Jerry Nadler has faced in twenty years. New York’s 10th District includes the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Hell’s Kitchen, Chelsea, Greenwich Village and portions of Lower Manhattan and portions of Brooklyn including Borough Park, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and Sunset Park.

Lubavitcher Rebbe saved Yeshiva Torah Vodaas from Foreclosure

The Rayatz saved Yeshiva Torah Vodaas from Foreclosure

by Rabbi Shmuel Knopfler

The famed Yeshiva Torah Vodaas in New York, originally located in Williamsburg, now in Kensington. Over the years, the yeshiva expanded from what was once only an elementary school, graduating hundreds of rabbanim and mechanchim, roshei yeshivos, and directors of yeshivos
and mosdos chesed.

R’ Shraga Feivel was a most unusual and multi-faceted individual. He was an eclectic scholar who loved Chassidus. He even gave classes in Tanya, despite the fact that his yeshiva was Litvish.

At the same time, he was no Chassid of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Rebbe Rayatz, and was quite upset when students of his yeshiva transferred to Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim. This was in contrast to his unprecedented and unique policy of sending his best talmidim to other yeshivos simply to support the other yeshivos and
promote their growth.

Shortly before his passing on 3 Elul 5748, R’ Shraga Feivel was quite ill. After being informed by his doctors that he had only a short time remaining, a select group of his friends, rabbanim, and roshei yeshivos organized a sort of farewell at his bedside. At the gathering, much to everyone’s surprise, R’ Shraga Feivel asked to speak. What he was about to reveal had never been told before; now he wanted others to hear his amazing tale as he did not wish to take the secret with him to the grave…

During World War II, the economy was in a depression. The Torah world, which had just begun to blossom in America, and which was based primarily on the donations of wealthy businessmen, was in grave danger.

“For many months I somehow managed by borrowing money from anyone I possibly could to make sure the yeshiva would continue to exist. The teachers had not been paid and the food the boys were served was not the best, but the learning went on, which was the main thing.

“One day I received an urgent letter from the bank. When I read it, I realized how much trouble I was in, for the director of the bank informed me that the yeshiva’s debts had ballooned to $3,000! Today that would be the equivalent of $300,000, and the ability to obtain cash during wartime was far more difficult.

The bank’s intention was to repossess the yeshiva building. All the talmidim would have to be sent away. “I only had three weeks to obtain this huge sum of money, and I knew that that was plainly impossible.

Since I didn’t see any way of saving the situation, I didn’t tell anyone what was going on, so as not to create undue panic. I had simply resigned myself to the fact that in another three weeks the yeshiva would close down.

“As I sat there in my office, crying over the fate of the yeshiva, the phone rang. The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s
secretary was on the line saying, ‘The Rebbe asked me to call you in order to ascertain the yeshiva’s general condition.’ I couldn’t understand why the Lubavitcher Rebbe was suddenly interested in my situation, and since I didn’t want to share the yeshiva’s precarious state with anyone, I dismissed him by saying that everything was in
order. “A few hours went by and the phone rang again. ‘I told the Rebbe what you said, that everything is as usual,’ said the secretary, ‘but the Rebbe said that that is not so. Please tell me what the state of the yeshiva really is.’ “Hearing this, I wanted to hang up on him. I didn’t appreciate this prying into the yeshiva’s affairs. I had no
reason to think the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s financial state was better than mine, so I certainly didn’t think he could help me. But finally, after the secretary’s repeated requests, I told him of the yeshiva’s plight and about the contents of the letter I received from the bank that day.

“A short while later, the secretary called once again. This
time he informed me, ‘The Rebbe asked me to tell you the following: In my day, no yeshiva will be closed; not in Russia and not in America!’
That was it!

“This last call really infuriated me. He forced me to give him a full report about the yeshiva’s predicament, and now he was mocking me with illogical statements that had nothing to do with the harsh reality.
There was simply no way to obtain such a tremendous amount of money, I thought to myself in growing frustration. “The next three weeks were the most difficult of my life. “From time to time, the Lubavitcher
Rebbe’s secretary called my office and asked whether the situation had changed for the better, or whether there was still a threat of the yeshiva’s closing. As the day when the money had to be paid got closer, the Rebbe asked, through his secretary, for more details about the debt.

“The deadline was on Monday. The Friday before, the Rebbe’s secretariat called again, asking where the money had to be paid and how. I was utterly appalled by this meddling, but out of respect I gave them all the information they requested. When they mentioned the Rebbe’s promise that ‘In my day, no yeshiva will be closed; not in Russia and not in America,’ I just couldn’t understand what sin I had committed to deserve this mockery.

“Monday arrived. I sat hopelessly in my office, resigned to the fact that in another few hours the bank officials would arrive and close the yeshiva. There was a knock at the
door. My heart pounded as I approached the door. “As great as my fear was, my surprise was even greater when I opened the door to see – not a bank official and not a policeman, but a messenger boy with an envelope.

‘The Lubavitcher Rebbe asked me to give you this envelope,’ he said, and then left. “With trembling hands I opened the envelope and drew out dozens of hundred and twenty dollar bills. It all added up to exactly $3,000. Yes, the Lubavitcher Rebbe prevented Torah Vodaas from closing!” said R’ Shraga Feivel, to the amazement of those
gathered at his bedside.

This was a menahel who opposed the Rebbe, who even stopped his boys from going to learn at Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim. And the financial situation of the Rebbe Rayatz at that time was extremely difficult. Nevertheless, the Rebbe made the effort to obtain the enormous sum of
money to save the yeshiva.

Similar story is told when Olomeinu a Torah Umesorah publication for children was ready to stop its publication due to lack of funds The Rebbe, Reb Menachem Mendel gave a large sum of money to continue the publication for the propagation of Torah & Judaism.

When you enter the Yeshiva Torah Vodaas there is no plaque to commemorate this event. In the hallways of the Yeshiva you have a photo gallery of all Chassidic Rebbes except that of Chabad.

When the 8th Graders graduate in Torah Vodaas graduate they go on a special trip to visit the grave of The Satmar Rebbe in Kiryas Yoel.
Visiting Rav Pam's Kever which is logistically closer is not on the agenda.

Certainly visting the Kever of Rayatz in Queens as a sign of gratitude is not part of the itinerary.

It is regrettable that there is no acknowledgment or minimum Hakoras Tov.
