  1. Open Borders obviously is unimportant to Aguda. They have always been a subsidiary branch of AIPAC

    1. Are you Satmar or Brisk.The venom is as aggressive as it can get.
      I understand very well that your following your Daas TOIRAH.

    2. I've seen a letter from aguda saying that they follow Aipac's lead as a matter of policy. Sad on many levels.... Never mind that aguda was created primarily to combat Zionism. But even if you're a staunch zionist You need to realize that Not all policies aipac promotes is beneficial to the Jews living in Israel. They are many times their own worst enemy.

    3. Baloney! Agudah never put out any letter saying that they follow Aipac's lead as a matter of policy. This reminds me of a time when a Satmar Bochur told me in complete naive sincerity that Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky embraced with Golda Meir and Rav Moshe Feinstein shook her hand

    4. I don't have the time devote to following AIPAC to know whether every policy they promote is beneficial to the Jews living in Israel or not. But I've seen enough of your posts to know that you certainly don't have their best interests at heart.

    5. Best interest of Israel?How about giving a name to it? Bringing the whole klal up or down?

    6. This reminds me of the guy from the coffee room university who knows everything! No this was not a public letter, It was written to one of the leaders in aipac. Sorry if you haven't seen it.

    7. Oh for sure. Aguda sent a private letter to one of the leaders of AIPAC saying that they follow Aipac's lead as a matter of policy and you who hates both of them somehow managed to get ahold of it. But no other Agudah haters did or they would have put a copy online. You can make up such a story about the Satmar Rebbe too...

    8. I saw the same letter Tracht did and it WAS written by the Satmar Rebbe. What Tracht is confusing is that the Satmar Rebbe writes that he only came to the decision to follow Aipac's lead as a matter of policy. after consulting with the Moetzes of the Agudah. That is where Aguda comes in. And don't ask how I saw. Someone I know who works in the office of Satmar helped draft the letter and then showed me a copy.

    1. The over emphasis on smart phones and internet has ignored all other ills of society which is bringing down klal Yisrael as the mold and rot from within was not dealt with.
      Before the internet the Musser shmuzen were focused on substance once everything changed to technology
      Everything else has metastasized RL

    2. however bad you think a hookah bar is the stuff that goes on, on the internet and because of the internet is a hundred times worse. Its sad that you live in such a bubble that you think that thats the worst thing plaguing our society and our yiddishkeit these days.

    3. Regarding Ottimo: i hope the KCL comes out with a letter stating that the Hecher was taken away because of a Haskafah issue and not a Kashruth issue. I am sure they agree not to ruin someone's Parnassah because they dont agree with their values.

    4. Really? You're ok with others eating by an apikorus with azus mechallel shabbos befarhesya just because his food is technically kosher?!

  3. I just saw. Few videos of some of the new businesses / food / cafes people are opening and even I’m starting to ask.. where do we draw the line??

    I’m not a BMG yungerman.. I’m a Baal habais that works hard and I enjoy food don’t get me wrong. But what are we doing ??? The focus on the gashmiyus is getting way out of hand.

  7. The mixed kumzitz at Ecap with men and women singing together holding hands in a big circle has nothing to do with the internet.
    We have serious foundational fundamental problems that are ignored

    2. You're wrong. The taaruvos start on the Internet and social media. They metastasize from there.

  8. Too funny!
    The GOP star witness against Hunter Biden was just indicted for basically making everything up. https://www.justice.gov/sco-weiss/media/1338741/dl?inline=&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
    What does that tell us about the GOP talking point since about forever?

  9. What does it say? Just that the DOJ is politically active and functions to take down the Republicans and this once great country. And, I'm NOT a Trump fan!
