Walder and Parshas Mishpatim

 

 This Parsha appears immediately after Parshas Yisro, the Parsha where Klall Yisrael receives the Torah. At this point, the story of the Meraglim, the story of the spies had not occurred yet . For all practical purposes, the Jewish people were going to be in Eretz Yisrael in a matter of weeks. 

If you had written the Torah, which mitzvah would you have written last in Pashas Mishpatim? 

I thought about this and I would have put the halchos of slaves last.

We were heading to Eretz Yisrael, we would  need to know all the halachos of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael?

 No one owned any slaves and none would own any slaves in the near future. We would need to know the basics of manufacturing Tefillin, what color should the be? How many compartments? What shape? We would need to know halachos of Terumois Umassrois, Leket, Shikcha and Peah, at least the basics...

Nope!

 The Torah chose to put the halchos of slaves first, number one , and gave this priority over all the 613 mitzvos.

Why?

Because it was a "teachable moment!"

Klall Yisrael had just been slaves merely weeks before and the tortures they had experienced were very fresh in their minds. It was "davka" at this time that Hashem chose to teach them how to treat slaves.

There were many who claimed that after Walder was exposed as the monster that we all learned he was, and then having decided not to give his victims "closure" by killing himself, we should all "protect" our children by not telling them what really transpired. 

We learn that the juxtaposition of the Halchos of slavery immediately after Matan Torah, draws an entirely different picture.

The Torah is telling us that when an incident occurs, the lessons learned should be immediately applied, while the story is still fresh!

We need to teach our children President Reagan's dictum "trust but verify." Children need to know the dictum of the Talmud  

אין אפוטרופות לעריות meaning you cannot trust any one when it comes to sexual matters. Not your rebbe, not your Rosh Yeshiva, not your therapist and not even a grandfather or even a father, unfortunately!

I also suggest that when it comes to children up to 12 years old,  halachos of Loshon Hara should not be taught to them at all.  Children should not be encumbered by halachos that can actually harm them. 

We as parents want to know every single thing that happens to them in school. We want to know if they are being bullied, we want to know if they are being sexually abused and even verbally abused. And children should be told very sternly that if they they are being touched inappropriately by someone in school, they should never report this to anyone in authority or anyone on staff in school, but to come home and report that to you.

We don't teach children Halachos of Niddah or even Aveilus. Don't teach them Hilchos Loshon Hara, I am positive that the Chafetz Chayim didn't write these Halachos for toddlers .

This storekeeper doesn't sell any smartphones at all, he sells only Kosher phones but refuses to be intimidated by the Eida Hachreidis Terrorists!

Hundreds of Chassidim of the Toldos Avraham Yitzchak sect demonstrated outside a cellular phone store in central Geula Sunday evening. The chasidim were dispersed by police, who used water cannon and other dispersal methods on the  gathering .

Initially police attempted to protect the store from the angry protesters, who included the Admor of Toldos Avraham Yitzchak as well as other senior members of the sect including Rabbi Shimon Dov Bransdorfer and Rabbi Shmuel Bransdorfer who spoke to the gathering.

After the rabbis spoke the crowd sparred with police. Some of the assembled protesters succeeded in bypassing police and breaking open the door of the store. Six protesters were arrested and traffic was backed up on Malchei Israel street as police dispersed the demonstration.

Police released a statement saying that ” a short time after the beginning of protests at the site, tens of rioters began creating a public disturbance and blocking the street. Later they caused damage to a store, attacked police and damaged a police van. After police told them to disperse and they continued to demonstrate, police arrested three suspects for allegedly causing damage and public disturbance. Two policemen were lightly injured and received treatment at the scene.”

Demonstrators have stepped up their struggle in the last few weeks against three stores selling non-kosher phones in the Geula neighborhood. Some of the protesters explained to Kikar Hashabat that they simply wish to prevent their children from being exposed to internet. “Those who want to sell non-kosher phones can do so on Jaffa street, we don’t know why they come to our neighborhood. We’re not demonstrating against all stores in Jerusalem.”

A few weeks ago one of the three stores was targeted by protesters who attempted to set it on fire. Another store had its window smashed but continues to be active in the neighborhood.

Having Thrown Victims of Abuse Under the Bus the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Releases Kol Korei on Decrees of Israeli Government

 

Instead of cleaning house in their own institutions and moisdois, the Agudah releases this useless irrelevant statement condemning the Israeli Government.

Does anyone out there really believe that Bennett after reading this Kol Korah, will call  an emergency meeting with his cabinet to discuss the points in this rebuke?

Does anyone out there seriously think that Lieberman will now shiver in his boots because some rabbis in New York are not happy with the government?

Now, I am not happy with the government either and yes precisely because of the points brought up in the Kol Korah, but is this the way they will change even one MK's mind?

If they, the Moetzes keep covering up and looking away at serial sexual abusers, at thieves and refuse to clean up their own moisdois why in the world should  the Israeli government give two bits and take seriously what the Agudah is concerned about?

And who exactly respects what the Moetzes says or does?

Satmar? Chabad? Belz? Klozenberg? 

Who do they represent? Ed Koch, former mayor of New York once said about the Chassidic community, "They are a minority of a minority," The Moetzis represents a minority of a minority of a minority!

And now I'll let the Moetzes into a little secret. The Chareidie Parties said last week on Kan 11 an Israeli TV Station  that should the government collapse they are ready to sit with Lapid! 

With Lapid? The Rasha Me' Rusha? who they called Hitler ym"s? Yes with that very Lapid ...and do you know something, they would sit with Lieberman too , if only he gave the moisdis some money!

Guys.. It's all about the rent!

Agudath Israel of America, today, shared a Kol Korei from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America:

(Free translation)

Shevat 5782

We hear cries of pain from our brothers who dwell in Eretz Yisroel as the Israeli government plans decrees that will seriously affect the Torah population there. Examples include:

 

• desecrating the Kosel HaMaaravi – the last remnant of the Beis Hamikdash and the place from which the Divine Presence has never left – by permitting in it mixed prayer services and desecrations of our holy religious values;
• acting to remove the safeguards for modesty accepted by the chareidi population upon themselves with respect to the use of “kosher” phones;
• spreading Shabbos desecration such as in public transportation and the like;
• canceling oversight over kashrus;
• intruding into the education systems of chareidi institutions;
• conspiring to undermine the yeshivos by forcibly conscripting their students;
• and, most pressing now, acting towards weakening Jewish identity and holiness by allowing any community the authority to perform conversions. This will result in invalid conversions where the convert does not properly accept upon himself the obligations of Torah and mitzvos.

 

The ultimate outcome of all this will be to uproot the Torah from its status as the foundational identity and eternity of the Jewish people, and to turn the Jewish people into a nation like all others.

We address the Israeli government: You have no right to intrude into the realm of Torah, mitzvos, or Jewish education. These are the pupil of the eye of the Jewish nation. We will object strongly against these plans, just as our ancestors have over the course of history stood against any who have attempted to turn us away from Torah law.

To the G-d fearing religious public we say: This is a time fraught with danger for the Jewish nation, and we must cry out – from the depths of our hearts – that Hashem save us. We are obligated to increase our tefillah until Hashem awakens a heavenly spirit by which these edicts will be cancelled.

May it be Hashem’s will that the words, “They shall do no evil nor any destruction in my entire holy land,” (Yeshayah 11:9) speedily be fulfilled, and may we merit the day when the Glory of Hashem fills the world.

Harav Mordechai Bari the Head of Chinuch in Elad Arrested For Molesting Students When he was a Rebbe in Modiin Elite

 I was sitting on this story for over a week , but couldn't divulge his name because of the strict libel laws in Israel.

But he must be a dangerous guy since the police now gave the media permission to expose him. This is because they want other students, and women that he molested  to come forward ..This is a very unusual move, usually the name can only be made public after a conviction. 

This menuval is very well known in Chareidie circles and it seems that Rabbanim in Modiin Elite knew all about him..

Also this morning in Beit Shemesh, a young Chareidie man was arrested for rape.

מנהל אגף החינוך בעיריית אלעד, מרדכי בארי, נעצר בחשד לשורת מעשים

 מגונים בתלמידיו בזמן שהיה מורה. כך הותר לפרסום בצהריים (ראשון). המשטרה קוראת למתלוננים שנפגעו ממנו להגיש תלונה.

החקירה נפתחה בשבוע שעבר, ובמסגרתה נאספו כמה תלונות מתלמידים לשעבר של בארי על כך שפגע בהם מינית כשהיו בני פחות מ-14. המעשים נעשו לפני כמה שנים, בזמן שהיה מורה בבית ספר במודיעין עילית.

בדיון שהתקיים ביום חמישי התיר בית משפט השלום בפתח תקווה לפרסם את שמו של החשוד, וכן האריכה את מעצרו עד ליום שלישי.

המשטרה מבקשת מגברים ונשים שהחשוד פגע בהם לדווח למשטרת מודיעין עילית בטלפון 08-6447200 או במוקד 100, ובכל תחנת משטרה אחרת.

Antisemites Now Using The Old Satmar Outrageous Lie that "the Zionists collaborated with the Nazis"

 

The fact is that the Zionists did in fact "collaborate" with the Nazis but not in deporting Jews to the death camps and murdering them, but the Zionists were making deals with the Nazis to save Jews. In fact they were successful many times.

The Satmar liars say that yes the Zionists succeeded in saving Jews but the Jews that they saved were Zionists, as if to say that Zionists weren't Jews. 

What the Satmars won't tell you that their very founder of their movement, R' Yoel Teitelbaum z"l was saved by the Zionists in one of those deals. 

The Satmar Liars say that the Zionists saved only young people that would fight for the State...which is a brazen lie since we all know the roster of people that were on the Kastner train. And even if it were true? So what ? What's wrong with that? 

There is a two-volume book called 'Hidden in the Heights" by the Holocaust historian Esther Farbstein who is in fact a Satmar apologist who writes in detail of all the attempted deals and negotiating deals that Chareidim did or tried to do with the Nazis!

And who do you think they were trying to save by making deals with the Nazis? 

I'll let you into a little secret ... they were trying to save only Jews that were frum and Chareidie rabbanim, and if they would have had to make a choice ala Sofia's choice,  they  would have never chosen the  Jews whose sympathies were with the Zionists, they would have allowed the Zionists to rot in Poland and other countries overrun by the Nazis, they would have done the exact same thing, given the opportunity.

Instead of praising Jews that saved Jews they twisted the entire story to say that the "Zionists collaborated with the Nazis"

When Rav Weismandel tried without success to get to Eichmann that was ok but when the Zionists did it.. it's "collaboration"

Well now the goyim, the antisemites are taking the Satmar talking points and using them against all Jews, whether they be Chassidim, Litvaks, Safardim, Ashkenazim, Dati Leumi, Chilonim and Zionists.

Love when “antizionists” bring up an agreement between Zionists and Nazis to save thousands of Jews and all they can see is “agreement between Zionists and Nazis” https://t.co/c5qjw2rIw2

Mordy Gelfand from Lakewood Missing.. Police Searching in the Mississippi River

 

After 11 days of searching for Frum Jackson resident Mordy (Michael) Gelfand, who went missing during a business trip to New Orleans and never returned home, the New Orleans Police Department now sadly believe that an unfortunate accident has taken place and Mordy seems to have tragically drowned in the Mississippi River R”L.

A massive search and recovery effort is underway and the Achiezer organization who is leading the efforts has released a message to Jewish organizations requesting groups to step forward with manpower and logistics, to quickly and honorably bring Mordy to proper Kevuras Yisroel.

Local authorities are welcoming all the help that is being offered.
