The Satmar "Shvantz" @Yakovolf

                                    


A "shvantz" is a tail in Yiddish,

There is one particular guy, I'm guessing he is ex Satmar guy who has a twitter account and goes by the handle @Yakovolf
All in all I agree with a lot of his tweets but when it comes to Israel, he goes insane with his sheer hatred of the State. 

I have found that a lot of ex-Satmars when they go off or become "tuna -beigels" still have this hatred towards the State of Israel, because it is so embedded in them that they cannot shake it. 
And even those who shake off  Satmar traditions including Torah Umitzvois still keep hating Israel because it remains in their blood.

I am not suggesting that  @Yakovof is not frum; I believe he is.

In his tweet below, he mocks those who set up a new holiday, "Yom Ha'atzmot, " writing that
"There is no Yom Tov commemorating the entrance into the Land of Israel led by Yehoshua, nor is there a celebration for the construction of the First Beis Hamikdash by Shlomo Hamelech, the rebuilding of the Second Temple, or the return of Ezra to Eretz Yisroel."

he then goes into a rant stating:

"But on the day a secular state was founded by Kofrim and Mechalelei Shabbos somehow, religious Zionists say Hallel'"

I had posted last week, that the Satmar Rebbe of Monroe in 1995 mocked the entire Lag Be'omer ritual and yelled that this is "not our mesorah"and prohibited his sheep from flying to Israel to celebrate Lag Be'omer in Meron. He threatened to throw out those bochrim that went. 
But should you glance at Satmar social media, you can see full page invitations to the "Hadlaka in Monroe"
So much for that not being in "our mesorah!"

It turns out that the Satmar Rebbe may actually be right! 

The question is really whether we can establish new holidays. 

Despite  @Yakovof  tweet, this is not a simple matter with many great poiskim stating that it is in fact permitted and not only permitted but Hallel should be recited.
In fact, ironically, if you read the Chasam Sofer you can clearly see that Lag Be'omer is not a Mesorah,  and yet the Zionist Yom Hazmaot may very well be a holiday and Hallel should be recited in full with a bracha, according to the Chasam Sofer.

The Chasam Sofer (Teshuvot Chasam Sofer, YD 233) is critical of those who celebrate Lag Ba'omer, as the day is not mentioned anywhere in rabbinic literature and doesn't commemorate any miracle or salvation., (which was the Satmar Rebbe's argument back in 1995)  But then the Chasam Sofer states that "establishing a festival to mark a miraculous event, is a Biblical requirement, and one who does not to do so in violation of not performing a positive mitzvah. 

The Chaya Adam (155:41) also ruled that it is a mitzvah for an individual or a community to establish a holiday. He relates how he himself established a holiday on the day when he and his family were spared after a powder keg explosion destroyed a number of homes including his own, claiming the lives of 31 people.

Both the Magen Avraham (OC 686:5) and the Mishna Berura (OC 686:8) record that a community can create a "Purim" for themselves and for future generations, on a day in which they experienced a miracle.

All agree including the Chazon Ish that Israel winning the war in 1948 was a miracle.  

Getting back to @Yakovof  's tweet. 
It is ironic that he is mocking a new holiday that religious Zionists established, which has a basis in halacha according to poiskim, as millions of Jews now call it their home, while ignoring new holidays that Satmar itself established, for example, the anniversary of the day that the Satmar Rebbe hopped on a Zionist Train to save himself, is a huge event with celebrations going on all day.
And recently they established another brand new holiday a "Hadlaka" on Lag Be'omer that the Satmar Rebbe himself mocked and the Chasam Sofer says is NOT a holiday!

As far as his remark that there is "no Yom Tov commemorating the entrance into the Land of Israel led by Yehoshua" that is misleading, but how would the "shvantz" know that, they don't teach Tanach in Satmar. 

All the Jews save for a handful died in the midbar, they were not circumcised, and when they were still alive they hadn't celebrated the holidays written in the Torah for 40 years. So those who entered Eretz Yisrael with Yehoshua had not ever in their entire lives experienced ANY Yom Tov. In fact, Yehoshua had to circumcise them so that they could observe the very first Yom Tov which was Pesach. Every Yom Tov after that was a totally new experience to them, there was no need to establish an additional Yom Tov, they were first learning how to  observe properly the Yomim Tovim written in the Torah, in addition, most of Eretz Yisrael was not conquered, in fact Yehosuah was punished because of that, as he didn't finish the job he was instructed to do.

There was in fact a celebration for the construction of the First Bais Hamikdash see Mo'ed Katan 8b where the gemarrah relates that the celebration continued into Yom Kippur and Chazal at the time permitted them to eat. It must have been a huge celebration if they ate on the holiest day of the year. 
As far as the Second Bais Hamikdash is concerned, very few Jews wanted to return from Bavel and build the Bais Hamikdash, Ezra cursed them. I don't think they were in a mood to celebrate. 

But the reason that @Yakovof  is a huge "shvantz" is because there is no comparison of the miracle of the  gathering in of the exiles from four corners of the earth after 2,000 years, an event which never ever happened to Jews or any other nation in world history, truly a miraculous event, compared to the building of the Bais Hamikdash. When the Jews left Mitzrayim, all Jews had lived in one place, Mitzrayim. When the Jews went up to with Ezra from Bavel, 99.9% of all Jews lived in one place, Bavel. But the miracle of the State of Israel is like no other in the sense that the Jews coming back, come from all over the world. In just a year, the majority of all the world's Jews will be living in the State of Israel!
The State of Israel was surrounded by five, count them, 5 armies vowing to destroy them and murder every single Jew. The IDF miracuously overpowered all of them. Truly a miracle. 

The building of the Bais Hamikdash was not a miracle, though there were miracles,h ere and there but the building itself was not a miracle, not the first and certainly not the second. The few Jews that returned to Eretz Yisrael in the times of Ezra was a pitiful few, so few that all the families that made Aliya from Baval are named by Ezra. 
The Satmar shvantz should first mock his own "NEW" Yomim Toivim established in Monroe before mocking a Holiday concerning the only Jewish country in the entire world, that has the most Torah learned in it, and whose government supports Torah Moidois to over $300 Million every year. 

The gemarra in Sanhedrin 94a relates that Chizkiyahu Hamelech could have been made the Meshiach but for the fact that he failed to give praise upon the downfall of the wicked Sancherev, King of Assyria. Chizkiyahu failed to give this profound experience a religious expression. 
We dare not make the same mistake.
Yom Haatzmaot and Yom Yerushlayim possess profound religious significance and meaning. These are days of great Divine Providence-miracles and wonders- and deserve religious expression. By celebrating Yom Haatzmaot and Yom Yerushlayim as festivals, we express our thanks to the Ribbono Shel Olam for the tremendous gifts of the State of Israel and Yershulayim.

Democrats Send a Huge Present to Chassidim in Rockland County ..340 Single Migrant Men



The DemonRats have tried in many ways to thank the Chassidim who live in Rockland County for their constant support. Chassidim led by Ass'kanim and their Rabbanim such as the Skverer Rebbe instruct their sheep to vote in "block votes" for the Democrat party, no matter who is running.

What better way to show "hakoras Ha'toiv" than to ship them 340 healthy young single men. They must have ruled out women, because of "tznees" issues and the high probability that the men will have "yichud" with the women, which would offend the Skverer Holy community. The only issue remaining as I understand it, is how many cars to put into the motorcade when the rebbe goes to be "mekabeil panim" 

From the looks of them, they don't look like guys that fast every Monday and Thursday, and Walmart better be ready to let them take whatever they heart's desires. Since they are single, maybe this will resolve the Shidduch Crises, as they don't look like the type that would hang out in Bais Medrish and will most likely be out  stalking white women to have a "chavrusa'shaft" 

Rockland County will have to raise taxes to support these guys, providing them with shelter, food, education, health benefits etc. 

Good luck

Officials in Rockland County have declared a state of emergency in an effort to stop New York City’s plan to dump hundreds of migrants there.

The declaration by Rockland County Executive Ed Day, prohibits other municipalities from bringing and housing people in the county, according to the Rockland Report.

It also bars hotels and motels from housing migrants without a license and requires municipalities that wish to house migrants or asylum seekers in Rockland County to ensure they will cover their expenses.

The town board in Orangetown, NY, about 40 minutes north of Manhattan, was slated to hold a special meeting Saturday to explore ways to shut down Mayor Adams’ plan to bus the migrants from city shelters to their doorstep, town supervisor Teresa Kenny told The Post.

“We have a lot of questions—is this temporary thing? Is it going to become a permanent thing for New York City? What is the program?” she said.

The Adams administration gave Kenny a head’s up Saturday that the first wave of migrants would number “less than 100,” and could arrive “as soon as this weekend,” she said.

The decision to house migrants upstate came after the city’s shelter system reached a limit in the number of new facilities that could be opened.

The migrants are expected to be housed at the 170-room Armoni Inn and Suites, where stacks of mattresses were spotted outside Friday, according to local reports.

Orangetown officials will explore whether they can stop the buses from coming, and how long migrants would be allowed to stay in the hotel.

“If it was handled differently, people wouldn’t be getting so upset,” Kenny said.

The migrants had yet to arrive by Saturday afternoon, when dozens of people in dresses and suits were seen trickling in for a small wedding reception being held in the ballroom, as photographers and musicians were seen unloading their equipment in the parking lot.

Rockland officials have griped that the city gave only a last-minute head’s up that 340 single adult men would be housed in a hotel in their county.

City Hall disputed that figure, saying at most 300 migrants total would have the choice to be housed in Rockland or neighboring Orange County.

“Mayor Eric Adams is criticizing Congress for their failure to establish a strategy for each migrant before they enter into the country, ensuring this crisis is dealt with in a coordinated manner, and then does the exact opposite – shipping new arrivals to other municipalities that do not have the infrastructure to support them,” Day told the Rockland Report.

“It’s the same as tossing people into the middle of the ocean with nowhere to swim,” he added.

Nearly 61,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since last spring, and more than 37,000 are living in city-operated or city-funded shelter facilities, according to City Hall. The city so far has opened up 122 emergency shelters and 8 large-scale humanitarian relief centers to handle the continued influx of migrants.

Angel Bakery's Stock Crashes After Chareidie Boycott

 

The Charedi boycott of the iconic Angel’s Bakery has intensified, as dozens of orders were canceled and boxes of bread were left outside many supermarkets in Orthodox cities.

Multiple photos of untouched Angel products were posted on social media on Friday morning. Many people also posted pictures of themselves purchasing alternative brands for Shabbos, including MK Simcha Rothman of the Religious Zionist Party, one of the architects of the government’s judicial reform plan.

A huge order for Miron for about 50 million NIS was reportedly canceled.

A letter was sent to the principals of Chadarim asking them to commit–in writing–to end their contracts with the massive company.

The list of yeshivos that ended their contracts includes the large Wolfson Yeshiva, in addition to many others, both Chareidi and Dati Leumi.

A huge order for Miron for about 50 million NIS was reportedly canceled.

A letter was sent to the principals of Chadarim asking them to commit–in writing–to end their contracts with the massive company.

The list of yeshivos that ended their contracts includes the large Wolfson Yeshiva, in addition to many others, both Chareidi and Dati Leumi.

If the boycott continues, the cost to Angel’s could be devastating. According to one unconfirmed report, the company crashed in shares over 20%, about 150 million shekel. It is expected to decrease by another NIS 300 million if the protest continues.

The massive grassroots boycott was started after Angel’s board chairman, former Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev, protested Thursday morning outside the home of the head of Ponovezh Yeshiva, Rabbi Gershon Edelstein against the proposed haredi enlistment law.

Among the yeshivas that notified that they would cut ties with the bakery are the Chevron Yeshiva in Jerusalem (over 1,000 students), Yeshivas Netiv Hadas – Kaplan, Yeshivas Toras Ze’ev Solovechik, and more.

Labor Minister Yoav Ben-Tzur (Shas) criticized the former minister’s presence at the protest: “Freedom of speech isn’t the freedom to disgrace. Omer Bar-Lev and his privileged group, who demonstrated outside the home of Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, disgraced the honor of the Torah, and there is no way to forgive that. I was pained to see Omer Bar-Lev, who contributed so much to Israel’s security, shaming his past and using the IDF as a tool to divide the nation.”
