| Where are the parents of these naive clueless idiots? |
Over a half million Jewish residents, Old, Young, Toddlers, and the Sick, of the North in Israel are running to shelters every couple of minutes. Some of them have gotten heart attacks because of the shock! One child was recently killed running to a shelter!
You would think that Gedoilim from Lakewood would have a bit of sympathy and empathy for the majority of the Jewish people that live in Israel! Think again!
First of all they keep repeating the lie:
" The entire purpose of the medinah in Eretz Yisroel is to “oiker zein Torah, to uproot Torah.”
This is a "bilbul" and pure unadulterated Loshon Hara by leaders of Klall Yisrael, only days from Yom Ha'Din!
Not one Yeshiva or Kollel closed because of the draft or impending draft!
And the draft law is only for a small percentage of boys.
It doesn't affect 100% of those attending Kollel, it only affects those from ages 18-21, after the age of 21 one is no longer subject to the IDF draft!
The Attorney General did stop payments for daycare Kollel guys because they don't work, but this will be reversed in the next couple of months!
But to lie and say that the "medinah in Eretz Yisroel is to “oiker zein Torah, to uproot Torah.” is a bald-faced lie!
In fact, the opposite is true, since the medina was established more Torah is being learned in Eretz Yisrael than in any other place on earth including Lakewood! More Torah is being learned in Eretz Yisrael since Matan Torah!
And yes, its time for the Chareidim to share in the burden of the rest of Jewish residents of Israel. Why is it ok that Children of Chilonim should die to protect those who slam their gemarras shut during "bein hazmanim" why should those chilonim work and pay taxes to pay for those who refuse to work and support their families?
And this not "working business" is now in its third generation; the grandfather, the father and now the son doesn't work ......it is not sustainable! This will collapse very soon!
I live in Ramat Beit Shemesh, all shuls are packed with seniors learning practically 24/7! I came home from a wedding last Thursday night at 2:00am and walked into shul to retrieve something I forgot,.... there were 22 seniors learning and they told me that they did "Tikkun Chatzois" , of course, this is not every night, but you can always find a senior in shul learning no matter the time...Is their Torah worthless?
Is only the Torah of 18-21 year olds, whose hormones are raging, important? Let us, seniors, learn and the 18 year-old serve in the Army! Yes!! Absolutely!
If the Gedoilim are worried with their spirituality and I admit that it is a legitimate concern, then insist on meetings with the IDF to find a way to accommodate frum boys!
Shame on all those who attended shame on those who spoke!
אוי לה לאותה בושה אוי לה לאותה כלימה
אוי לאותה החכמה ואוי לה לאותה התבונה
אוי לו לעולם שאבד מנהיגם
An atzeres tefillah was held today in Lakewood, NJ in light of the giyus situation in Eretz Yisroel.
Roshei yeshiva and rabbonim had issued a call for people to attend the rally today, held in the heart of Lakewood, due, according to a statement prior to the event, to the “impending implementation of new Israeli draft laws that threaten to force thousands of bnei Torah into the military, posing an unprecedented threat to limud haTorah in Eretz Yisroel – the very lifeblood of the Jewish nation.”
The four roshei yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, Rav Malkiel Kotler, Rav Yeruchem Olshin, Rav Dovid Schustal and Rav Yisroel Neuman, had issued a kol korei stating that men, women and children should attend the atzeres tefillah today.
Rosh yeshiva of mesivtos across Lakewood were asked to attend the event along with the talmidim of their yeshivos.
The gathering was held in a parking lot at Clifton Avenue and Ninth Street across from Beth Medrash Govoha’s Bais Aron Bais Medrash.
Other roshei yeshiva in attendance included Rav Aharon Feldman, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Ner Yisroel in Baltimore, Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe of South Fallsburg, Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, rosh yeshiva of Mesivta of Lakewood, ad Rav Shlomo Feivel Schustal, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Tiferes Yerachmiel.
Various speeches were then delivered, describing the “gravity” of the new giyus law and “the threat it poses to the Olam HaTorah.” The speakers were call up by Rabbi Mordechai Levy.
The speakers stood on a platform erected in front of the crowd, with a large attached umbrella to protect them from the falling rain. The speakers were projected on a large screen for the crowd to see and hear.
The atzeres program began with Mincha at 1:30 p.m., led by Rav Leizer Ganz, who also recited Tehillim. Tehillim was then also recited by Rav Shmuel Choueka and Rav Michel Handelsman.
The first drasha was delivered by Rav Yisroel Neuman, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, who also recited Tehillim.
Tehillim was then said by Rav Mordechai Betzalel Klein, the Skulener Rebbe of Lakewood, and Rav Shmuel Halberstadt.
Brief remarks were then delivered by Rav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Ateres Shlomo, who recited Tehillim.

Rav Malkiel Kotler, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, then addressed the atzeres.
Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe of South Fallsburg, spoke next. In his remarks, he stated that the entire purpose of the medinah in Eretz Yisroel is to “oiker zein Torah, to uproot Torah.” He said that even for those who are not learning Torah, it is forbidden to join the Israeli army.
“[The draft law] is a gezeirah that we cannot compare to any of the gezerios that there have been until now,” he said.
Remarks were then delivered by Rav Yeruchem Olshin, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, who then also led the crowd in reciting Selichos.
The Novominsker Rebbe led the recital of Shema Koleinu.
Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, rosh yeshiva of Mesivta of Lakewood, then delivered a drasha and led the crowd in reciting Kabbolas Ohl Malchus Shomayim. Rav Dovid Schustal, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, then led the crowd in the remainder of Kabbolas Ohl Malchus Shomayim and recited Kaddish.
A second minyan for Mincha was then held, led by Rav Menachem Savitz, ending after 4 p.m.
