    1. Where's your hakaras hatov? He gave $300 to some organization in Lakewood. We all have to vote for him and his descendants לעולם דוד.

    2. Listen to these libtards, making fun of a 300 dollar tzedakah donation. Those 300 dollars came from some hard working blue collar workers in West Virginia and can no longer go to his legal defense fund. Don't mock it.

  3. Why not go to all those who signed against Peshuto shel Mikra? They have all admitted that they signed about something they knew nothing about

    1. Where can I find out more about the issue with peshuto shel mikrah and why rabbonim were against it?

      Ever since making of a gadol I’m very skeptical of when seforim and/or books get banned..

    2. Give credit to those who gave the ban They were despite the backlash consistent
      Some chickened out with excuses

    3. The letter from Boro Park was a forgery. The signers in Lakewood didn't back down, but they told everyone who asked that they never really meant to sign anything.

  4. The rabbonim were part of that plan. Hatzala ran the show. They convinced the rabbonim to asser porch minyanim even though nobody could explain how that was dangerous. Two days later the rabbonim chopped what fools they looked like and retracted.
