War Raging Between Grandchildren of R' Chaim Kanievski And R' Gershon Eidelstein

We here in the DIN offices kept quiet about this Chillul Hashem for months now, but now that the battle is  in the open now ... it is time to talk about it ....

It is all about the control of the Hebrew Yeshivash Newspaper, The Yated!

The newspaper is now under the influence of R' Gershon Eidelstein, who replaced Rav Shteinman as the Litvisher Gadol Hador! The Yated was under the spiritual influence of Rav Shteinman when he was alive!

R' Chaim Kanievski's grandchildren, specifically R' Yankie Kanievski, are not happy that R' Eidelstein controls the Litvisheh media and want to wrest control. 

He knows that whoever controls the Yated basically controls the Litvishe voice....

In addition, R' Eidelstein hasn't allowed the Litvishe political party, Degel Hatorah, to become a mafia organization.

R' Yankie Kanievski set up his thugs to humiliate R' Eidelstein at Degel meetings, and the word is out now that R' Yankie Kanevski personally threatened R' Eidelstein if he didn't transfer control over the Yated to him.

R' Eidelstein with Rav Dov Landau weren't going to get bullied by the Kanievski "schmendrik" and told him to take a hike...

When Yankie threatened the Rabbanim that he was going to get his grandfather to issue a "Kol Korah" against the newspaper, R' Eidelstein and Rav Dov Landau beat him to it and put out full ads in all Chareidie publications against him without naming him...

Israel Hit With Over 250 Missles Over Shabbos ... Sirens in Beit Shemesh!

Two hundred and Fifty rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel on Saturday, and Israel's Iron Dome system intercepted dozens of them.

Air raid sirens sounded in Gaza-area towns, as well as in Beit Shemesh and other Jerusalem-area towns. Rockets also landed in the courtyards of a home and school in Kiryat Gat.

"We can confirm that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad together with Hamas are responsible for firing 250 rockets from Gaza at Israeli civilians over the last 8 hours," an IDF statement read.

The Holocaust: Why? With The Arrival of the ‘Shoah’, the Miracle of Jewish Survival in the Exile Came to an End ... Why?

Overwhelming Tragedy

An individual possesses the ability to grasp the short range significance of events and to understand those aspects which affect his own personal life. Yet, even this process takes time. Only after enough time has passed is one able to analyze properly what has befallen him.

When a massive, sweeping event occurs – a tragedy so overwhelming that the mere thought of it causes one to recoil in horror – one must not lose sight of the fact that the world possesses a Creator and provider, and that, as dreadful and terrifying as things might seem to be, there is pattern and purpose in the world’s development.

When tragedy befalls an individual – the death of a loved one, for example – the feeling is so painful and so sharp that, at first, one is unable to bear it. Because one lacks the strength to confront what has happened to him, he “forgets” the event, as it were, attempting to divert his attention from it. Thoughts attempt to comprehend the tragedy, yet are forced to recoil, for it is beyond contemplation. It is simply too difficult.

Only after some time has passed – after one has adjusted somewhat to the pain – does a person begin to accustom himself to what has happened, to internalize the experience and to consider it in greater depth. This process acts as a sort of defense mechanism preventing one from facing the experience so long as he does not possess the necessary strength. And, as noted, only when the pain finally dissipates does the true confrontation, as difficult as it may be, begin.

All this holds true with the ‘Shoah’ (Holocaust) as well.

Rav Kook z"l Letter Sent To European Jews Begging Them To Make Aliyah and Warning Them of Upcoming Tragedies Way Back In 1909!

If only our grandparents would have listened to Rav Kook's prophetic words, how many millions would have been saved, instead we listened to our anti-Zionist leaders that ultimately led to ..the annihilation of 3/4 of the total world's Jewish population

Yes, of course it was a decree from heaven, absolutely, but each individual has choice and because we were misled by the people that we trusted the most we chose to give up our "bechirah," our G-d given choice, which in turn caused the biggest tragedy that the Jewish people experienced in its entire history 

Will we ever learn? I doubt it

This was written in 1909, 33 years before the Holocaust
(his letter in red)

בכל יום השואה מרחף לו כתם נוראי מעל הנהגת היהדות החרדית.

עוון בל יכופר שעוד לא נאמרה בו המילה "טעינו".

ההנהגה החרדית בראשותם של גדולי הרבנים והאדמורי"ם, הניאו את חסידיהם מלעלות לארץ ישראל ערב פרוץ מלחמת העולם השנייה, ואף הזהירו אותם לבל יעזו ללכת לאור קריאת הציונים לשוב הביתה ארצה.

הסוף המר ידוע לכולנו, רובם הושמדו וחלקם ברחו ברכבת קסטנר הנוראה בעוד צאן מרעיתם נטבח ע"י המפלצות הנאציות.

אחד יחיד ומיוחד היה רבה של ארץ ישראל מרן הראי"ה קוק זצ"ל שעודד בכל הזדמנות את יהודי אירופה לעלות ארצה, ואף הזהיר כי תמה תקופת הגלות וכי אם לא יעלו רעה גדולה עלולה להשיגם.

לפניכם "הקריאה הגדולה: לארץ ישראל" שכתב עוד בהיותו ביפו בשנת 1906 (33 שנים קודם פרוץ שואת יהודי אירופה):

Chareidie Seminary Girls Arrested in Norway For Smuggling Drugs Will Be Deported Back to Israel On SHABBOS!

Ironically, the Charedi girls arrested in Norway will be deported on a plane on Shabbat.

The story of the drug smuggling was exposed in B'hadrei Charedim  and they reported that dozens of young men and women are smuggling 'Gat' to Europe, which in Israel is permitted, but in Europe forbidden. 

In return for smuggling they receive a sum of money and a hotel for three days and are told by the drug dealer that if they get in trouble, they can call the local Chabad emissary.

In the past few hours, we learned that two ultra-Orthodox girls from Jerusalem have been detained for several days in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the attempted smuggling of 'Ali Gat. 

They will be deported on the coming Shabbat to Israel.

The Norwegians refuse to put them on a flight with a  stop, insisting on a direct flight, and direct flights from Norway happen on Shabbos only.

Meanwhile they are begging the Chabad Shliach in Oslo, Rabbi Shaul Wilhelm, to intervene and help them.

Satmar Rebbe R' Zalman Teitelbaum Gets A Taste Of His Own Medicine Getting Stoned In Monroe Visiting His Father's Grave

'שייגעץ'

Stone throwers

When you encourage your talmidim to throw stones on other Jews who don't agree with your SHIT'ah, be it Kloizenberg, Belz or Frum Zionist Soldiers, it comes to bite you back in the proverbial ass!

Well, yesterday was the Yurzeit of the Beirach Moshe, the father of today's Satmar Rabbis....
When R' Zalman Leib, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg, came to daven at his father's kever, he was in for a surprise: 
a bunch of Satmar boys called him a "Sheigatz" and threw stones on him ....
He didn't like it one bit, I'm told!

There are two versions who the rock throwers were ...
One version (and this version is the easy way out) is that the boys were from the Aronim contingent ....and decided to harass him!

Another version, and it this one is the more credible take:

 The boys were actually Zalonim ... and the story behind this is ....the Satmar Yeshivah administration decided to throw them out because they were 20 year old guys and the hanhala felt that 20 year olds were a hard bunch to discipline ...

The boys then went to the Satmar Rebbi looking for sympathy to beg him to let them stay because they were afraid that it would damage their chances for a good shidduch .... they didn't want the  shame that they had to leave the yeshiva for the crime of being older and single....

 The Holy Rebbe listened to them and was probably in cramps trying very hard not to burst out in hysterical laughter because little did they know it was all his idea ...

He made believe he was compassionate and sympathetic to their plight stroked his beard, arched his eyebrows and moved some left over crumbs around .... then told them he had a brilliant idea that he would set up another Yeshivah for them called "Shiur De'Satmar" that would be set up for "older " boys!

This actually made it worse, because now everyone would know that if you "learn" in Shiur DeSatmar you are basically "an alter bucher" an outcast!

The Boys being from Satmar .... wouldn't take this sitting down so they waited for a good opportunity to teach him the quintessential  "Satmar Lesson" developed and nurtured way back in Europe when they stoned the Spinker 80 years ago,......and so they waited for the right time which couldn't have come any sooner and met him with "Sheigetz Arois" and showered him with some stones for good measure!

I am told from good sources that there are still plenty of stones left to throw at Zionists, come Yom Hatzmoet next Thursday!

Update!
My Zalonim friends are emailing me that the "rock throwers" were definitely the Aronim, and they will not leave the "debt" hanging around too much longer, meaning that the Aroner Rebbe better watch his back!
They added however that my story with the "older buchrim" is spot on.

Chareidie in Israel Use Chareidie Girls As Mules To Smuggle Drugs To Satmar & Other Chassidishe Communities in Manchester!

Over the past few months, dozens of young Charedi men and women have been arrested for smuggling contraband items in Manchester, England.

I am getting many e-mails from Manchester begging me to publicize the terrible tragedy taking place in England in Chassidic communities...

According to the reports, many chassidishe boys especially those from Satmar backgrounds are taking drugs and are getting them from Israel.

The Israeli chareidie drug dealers get seminary girls from Israel, offer them free trips to England and money to smuggle in the drugs ....

Recently, two Charedim spent Seder night in a holding cell in the airport in the city. On Tuesday, two young women were arrested. One of them is being held at the airport, while the second has been placed under house arrest until Thursday in the home of a local Rabbi. On Thursday, they will both be deported from England with a black stamp on their passport that will ban them from ever entering England again.

According to an investigative report that was conducted by BeChadrei Charedim, an Israeli citizen has been having young Chareidi men and women smuggle a contraband substance (Khat / drugs) into England.
