Several Roshei yeshiva are worried about a compromise plan by Degel Hatorah knesset members that will include sanctions and quotas.
Former Supreme Court head Aaron Barak said the interim funding cuts are justified to pressure the charedim to come up with an agreeable plan to draft and serve in the IDF,since forcing it upon them will not work.
Reb Shalom Ber Sorotzkin says the funding will come from another source and the Israeli gift will regret not supporting the Torah world.

What was the recent tragedy in Williamsburg?
ReplyDelete13 year old boy took his own life right after his bar mitzva. They didn't let him see his father
Deleteparent alienation is a term thrown around.
DeleteOne is when a child does not want to see a parent. The issue is one potentially of Kibud av V'aim.
The second is when a child wants to see a parent, but the other parent does not allow the child to see that parent, which is often worse that the first, as the child is effected, while in the first case it is only the parent.
He took his own life because they didnt let his father have any contact with him.
ReplyDeleteThe straw that broke the camel's back was when his father couldn't attained his bar mitzvah

ReplyDeleteWilliamsburg's Haredi Community in Turmoil: Young Bar Mitzvah Boy Loses Will to Live After Years of Being Prevented from Seeing His Father Due to Askanim's Interference
The streets of the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn are in mourning: a young boy celebrating his bar mitzvah took his own life after askanim (community activists) prevented his father from attending his private bar mitzvah celebration - following a disconnect of over four years of the boy's endless yearning for the father he so desperately wanted to see.
The young boy's heart could not bear the suffering caused by the askanim who kept him away, and he chose to pass on to the next world shortly after the painful bar mitzvah organized by the "askanim."
Those close to the family note that for several years now, the boy had been crying incessantly, expressing his sole desire to see his father, whom he loved and adored all these years, but who had divorced his mother due to family reasons. However, according to the askanim involved in the case, the children should not be allowed to meet with their father as it would leave them with the scar of having divorced parents, and it is preferable for them not to meet with the father at all.
The father, known as a God-fearing Jew, last met with his now-deceased bar mitzvah boy about four years ago, when he was passing by a city park in the United States and the child spotted his father and ran to him, embracing him. Since then, he never had the chance to see him again.
The boy cried for years to the askanim of the "Lev L'Yeled" organization, who are involved in such cases, pleading with them to let him meet his father at one of the events they organize. However, the askanim always had the upper hand in thwarting any such visit or meeting. Unlike other children whose fate has also not been kind to them but who are able to meet with their father from time to time, here the askanim did not allow it to happen (and the head of the organization notes that there are 12 more children whom these askanim do not allow to meet with their father).
The boy's cries intensified in the past year, leading up to his bar mitzvah celebration, as he wanted his joy to be complete and wished to meet his father at the bar mitzvah. However, the askanim intervened again and kept the father away from the entire vicinity of the celebration. This suffering was too much for the bar mitzvah boy to bear, and a few hours after the bar mitzvah, he was found lifeless in his home. His heart had shattered within him!
The mother's neighbor notes that the mother recently expressed that the longing of her children - the deceased boy and his two sisters - to meet their father had lately become overwhelming. Sadly, the boy will no longer strive from this world to meet his father.
With the publication of this chilling story in the streets of Williamsburg, crowds accompanied the boy's bier on his final journey. Now, the true leading askanim have intervened to thwart the path of the "askanim" murderers who took a living soul from this world by alienating him from his father, his birthright. They hope this story will not repeat itself with other youths.
Baruch Dayan Ha'emet (Blessed is the True Judge)
These 'askanim' have blood on their hands.
DeleteSuch reshaim should be spit out of our communities.
DeleteWho are 'the askanim'? Why do they remain nameless? Why does anyone listen to them?
DeleteIn my experience, the jobless askanim who look for things to occupy their time are a churban. They have never helped a soul, but take credit for everything. They have caused unbelievable suffering, in our town and others. Those that have decided that no molester should ever be locked up, those that have removed children from their parents, those that convince wives to return to abusive husbands, and husbands to refuse gittin to their wives. We should stop trusting them, and turn their names to mud. Their power is derived from the fact that they want the power, and nobody cares enough to stop them.
Where were the courts? Why didn't the father have visitation???
DeleteAnswer should be obvious
DeleteThose askonim also are anti Zionist They also go to all PLO demonstration even on shabbos. They are also against the eirivim and they rip most Siri in down.
DeleteThey also have women and men on opposite side of the street sometimes with a mechitza.
They all one group who are responsible for everything and anything happening in any Yiddesheh town.
We have our own in Lakewood, no need to run to Monsey
DeleteThose are the puppets in the street & photo-ops.The real k-nockers are those behind them pulling their strings
Deletethe Zionists zchusim are tied to OUR learning and if we dont get funding from them not to worry THEY lose out and there are frum BILLIONAIRES in America ready, willing and ABLE to give millions non stop.
ReplyDeleteThere is no OUR or THEY. All the Yidden live in the same country. If something CH"V happens, everyone loses out.
DeleteNonsense
DeleteThe LDC should be looked into and investigated for all the shtick that's going
ReplyDeleteIs there an association with the Vaad
Why are certain establishments getting hundreds of thousands of dollars and others not a penny
Why are they giving away loans to the lsta
Why did lcsw get a mobile truck
How does all of this translate to business development
Do some members recuse themselves when their organization gets funds
Not just the LDC but the local government across the board should be investigated for corruption it's the same players sitting on all these boards double and triple dipping salaries and benefits
DeleteSomehow money gets funneled to well connected askanim with community grants diverted to special interest projects as the community infrastructure suffers in decay.
It's about time Rubashkin is publicly is makir tov to the Trumps
