A Ad featured in the mainstream frum media outlets and co hosted by Jewish Organizations in Lakewood and other frum communities of a livestream townhall by Jowma, The topic on hand "The COVID-19 Vaccination Guide for Kallah Teachers, Doulas and Mikva Attendants Learn all you need to know about the COVID-19 vaccine and how it affects pregnancy and fertility as well as an update to Mikva guidelines". Note there is no halachic authorities on the panel nor does Jowma have any mention of a rabbinical board on their website. Last week it hosted a Town Hall for Women: COVID-19 Vaccines and You" view video here
EmesNews reports : The scheme of using vaccines as a springboard to gain acceptance is a smart one since we all want to stay safe and free of infectious diseases. Now, with public opinion behind them, they now move on to attempt infiltrating on matters which affect the very essence of Klal Yisroel. Following the true and tried playbook used by their peers, JOWMA wasted no time after their newfangled jump to fame in creating a livestream town hall for Kallah Teachers, Doulas, and Mikva Attendants. Advertising in mainstream frum media outlets, they promise to “answer questions regarding COVID-19 Vaccines, fertility and pregnancy; as well as an update to mikva guidelines.” Interestingly, on the panel are only doctors, not halachic authorities, so it’s unclear who would provide the mikva guidelines..... Until now we were able to blame naiveté on frum newspapers that took advertising
dollars to perpetuate this decadence. But that time is no longer. It’s time to internalize the words of Rabbi Mordechai Gifter who spoke in a drasha about Modernism and Yeshiva University in 1988.“We are not Orthodox Jews, we are Torah Jews.” see more at Emesnews

ReplyDeleteThere is no oversight anything goes and the charedi press is asleep while it is being used as a vessel or perhaps complacent to push foreign hashkafos into the torah yeshiva community.
ReplyDeleteCo-hosted by.....?
ReplyDeleteI can personally attest to pregnancy after vaccination, and im sure in israel therr are plenty of new pregnancies as well
ReplyDeleteThese people are pushing vaccines and extreme distancing.
ReplyDeleteNow it turns out they are affiliated with Footsteps , O.O. , &the LGBTQ community.
Sadly Torah U’mesorah already fell for them and were using their Paperwork.
Thank You for exposing this disaster .
But it was advertised in tbe heiliger Yated they must have approved it.
DeleteLudicrous
DeletePious
seeming phraseology outflanking
our best defenses
constantly
The frum papers have been pushing more and more controversy as they seek to remain relevant.
ReplyDeleteAmi magazine had an article this week of a frum female singer who gave up aspirations of becoming a doctor and ended up with a singing career to spend more time with her family. a nice story even though there was no going to med school. But missing from the article was no mention the Instagram account that is usee to interact with fans. Ironically the same week an interview was published in Glamour a secular Hollywood women's magazine by the same artist praising the fact that orthodox women have a voice on Instagram.
Is this what our chinuch aspires that frum girls should interact on social media and follow their stars on Instagram. Why are bnos yisrael being exposed and subjected to all this.
Ami hid the fact of the social media platform they did the right thing. It was bas timing that the other article was published
DeleteSponsored by Bikur Cholim of Lakewood. To me, that's pretty good cover. I wouldn't suspect anything untoward once I see that Bikur Cholim is on board.
ReplyDeleteYour right .
ReplyDeleteBikur Cholim and Torah U’mesorah are truly wonderful organizations .
They had no idea who this organization is.
THANK YOU Hefkervelt for being the first one to expose them .
They may have been misled but hard to believe that it slipped by everyone.
DeleteIsn't this website doing the exact same thing? Exposing these connections is certainly a necessary and legitimate activity - but one look at EmesNews tells you that it's a bunch of antivax fanatic wackos. It seems like you're also trying to infiltrate your more controversial opinions into the frum community via a "public awareness" campaign.
ReplyDeletePaved with good intentions, is the path to..
ReplyDeleteDo you think anyone on the group graduated High school? Do they just believe whatever is told to them?
ReplyDeletePregnancy as a result of the vaccine?
ReplyDeleteWhen a site calls themselves 'Emes', you can be sure it is anything but.
