- Leading Reform Rabbi: What Did We Do Wrong? Manhattan Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch says the Reform movement must explore why it has produced so many anti-Zionist Jews who are participating in the college campus protests. The solution he says is: Instilling in our youth Ahavat Yisrael—love and concern for fellow Jews.
- WSJ report: “Activist groups trained students for months before campus protest, The political tactics underlying some of the demonstrations were the result of months of training, planning and encouragement by longtime activists and leftwing groups.” These were not spontaneous demonstrations.

I thought this is a Frum site. Why r u telling us about the secular yom hadhoah?
ReplyDeleteStill no response from the board of hv... not holding my breath
DeleteDo you have that question about May 5 Cinco Demayo Mexican holiday or only about Yom HaShoah?
DeletePlease move on
DeleteMaybe we should be mocheh BMG serving chasidishe shechita even after the Agra’s cherem
At this point in history , I dont think anyone yiras shomayim will be diminished one iota if they read about Yom HaShoah
We need to remember not keep on fighting old battles there are a lot newer ones out there
Being caught up in the past is the easy was out of dealing with new realities
Even Herzog's CR grandfather opposed making a yom hashoah
ReplyDeleteWe need another high end grocery store?
ReplyDeleteJust ask Breadberry and Seasons - I bet you they know the answer
DeleteYom hashoah is stupid. Don't let your emotions get suckered into being goris it. We have Tisha baav not the tzioni secular, never again, yom hashoah
ReplyDeleteDo we yidden really care about yom hashoa or reform rabbis? Is this site becoming a for all with no.direction at all?
ReplyDeleteThe reason to publish it, is because it affects commerce an schedules in Israel. Many stores/offices/schools/etc have different hours. Similarly, they listed cinco de mayo because it may affect local commerce and traffic. That is (also) a non-Jewish holiday, yet no one questioned why it was listed. News that affects Israel is often listed on this site. It makes sense that they would list a national ‘holiday’, too, even if it isn’t one that frum yidden ‘celebrate’.
ReplyDeleteThank you HV for being my first source of news.
ReplyDeleteAnd a big Refuah sheleima to all your detractors.
Chevra: Please chill out!!!
Today is Yom Hashoa. Deal with it.
In Eretz Yisroel people might hear a siren.
You can commemorate it; or if you prefer, you don’t have to.
While I don’t commemorate it, I absolutely whole heartedly respect those that do.
There are some of acheinu Beis Yisroel that keep this day as a remembrance.
Deal. With. It!!
You might not keep this day based upon OUR Mesoira. But please raboosai—-
Not everything is yaharog v’al yaavor Ribono shel olam!!!
You are on the internet for Gds sake.
There are some Rabbonim that would say that it is better to keep a moment of silence to commemorate the holocaust than be hocking on the internet.
הגה בעצמך
Who are you fooling?
גרויסע קנאים.
Hefkervelt is just telling that today is Yom Hashoa
Do you have a problem when hefkervelt makes reference to “Memorial Day”.
Is anyone going to become a tzioni because of Yom Hashoa?
Puhleeze!
Once again, thank you hefkervelt for giving us the news.
Don’t let the hocker(s) detract you.
(And BTW just parenthetically, if you are not living under a rock with your Wi-Fi connection, maybe in todays environment it’s not a bad idea that the world know about holocaust remembrance day.
Do you think the world learned anything in 80 years??)
That is seichal.
DeleteThe world?How about yehudim?
Deletecf. the Kovetz Ma’amarim printed in the ’30s of what was horribly bound to be coming due to too much undue acceptance (and “achdus”) & tolerance of...

י[ "שמעתי מהגה"צ הגרא"א דסלר זצ"ל, שבעת השואה האיומה כאשר
צדיקים וקדושי עליון נחנקו ונהרגו בעינויים קשים יחד עם רבבות מעם
ישראל שנזרקו לתוך כבשן האש, אז שאלו כולם "איפה אלוקיך ישראל"
ואיך הקב"ה מיצר כל כך אפילו לצדיקים וקדושי עליון, וביאר אז הגרא"א
דסלר זצ"ל, שנכון שהיו הרבה צדיקים וחרדים, אבל לא דאגו לשמירת הדת
של אחרים ולא מחו ברשעים מספיק, ועל זה הקב"ה מאוד בחרון אף
וכמוש"כ בחטא העגל "ואנכי אסתר אסתיר את פני בעת ההיא", ובביאור
הרב זצ"ל, שהקב"ה אומר
"אתם לא מחיתם ולא התערבתם למחות על החילול ה', אז גם אני לא
מתערב למנוע את האויבים מלהרוג בכם", רח"ל.
Just yesterday, if further proof is requested:
צחק יוסף ודוד לאו
בטקס שהתקיים היום ביד ושם לרגל יום השואה הכריזה המנחה על כניסתו של "יושב ראש הכנסת ובן זוגו" רח"ל בין שאר "המכובדים" שנכנסים לטקס, ושתי המחללי שמיים ברבים, לאו ויוסף נעמדו לכבודם וקדו להם בראשם קידה של כבוד, והתורה הקדושה צווחת כמעשה ארץ מצרים אשר יצאתם משם לא תעשו " ודרשו חז"ל שהיו אנשים נושאים אנשים וזהו מעשה ארץ מצרים,
You should learn the Halachos of חנופה before writing.
DeleteThere is nothing the רבנים הראשיים can do to stop the יו"ר הכנסת from what they do, or serving in their position. The only way to protest this kind of activity is through teaching Torah to more Yidden. Making a public spectacle would end up in less Yidden learning Torah, and more such disgusting marriages. They acted as any Gadol BeYisroel would also have acted, even if they themselves are state functionaries.
Reb Elchanan is talking about Rabbanim of those days, who prepared brilliant Shabbos Hagadol speeches, yet did not establish schools for the youth, shiurim for the ignorant, or any method of helping people on the brink. When the Aguda opened a school network, some Rabbanim did not see it as their business to help. Or politics prevented them from helping. That's who Reb Elchanan means. Not meaningless protests or public statements.
Previous comment [grimace] goes to show how much some will bend over backwards with alibis rather standing up for the basics when it will cause a small bit of inconvenience.. Also goes to show how little some grasp of the Israeli system
Delete11:14,
DeleteSo the fact the chomer is r"l now diluted for 1000s because of what took place yesterday is nothing?! Then that's worse that anything positive they probably could accomplish the rest of their terms as CR
Anon 11:14 here.
DeleteIt is not just me who doesn't grasp things. See the letters of the Chazon Ish to Reb Elchanan where he explains why the kana'ishe system is wasted energy and unproductive. He shows how the only solution to every single problem is building up Torah, with schools, shuls, mikva'os, and Rabbanim.
So I guess your beef isn't with Rabbis Lau and Yosef, or with me, but with the Chazon Ish.
(see also Steipler's letter about Levin's participation in Herzl's funeral)
DeleteAs he reportedly told somebody :the slightest dilution/cooling off is a harog v'al yaavor.
So on the contrary he refused to cut deals with mizrachi or anybody else even when it would've gained building any of what you listed if it could cause the slightest dilution
DeleteChazal tell us (Shabbos 54b) those who could be "mocheh" against willful wrongdoers of their city/country are held accountable for
their aveiros;...
We know how much more severe immorality is when it's violated by public policy - as opposed to remaining a private aberration (Akeidas Yitzchak, VaYaira, 20). It's fair to say that we're seeing a great deal of Divine Justice lately. Apparently, for those running the country & Rabbinate,it's really not enough.
1. That statement about 'the slightest cooling' is probably untrue, and has no verified yichus. But even if true, מה ענין שמיטה אצל הר סיני? Who mentioned 'cooling off'? On the contrary, empty demonstrations of protest cause more 'cooling off'.
Delete2. Cutting deals is also not the issue here. The issue here is showing the basic respect due to a person, when any other action will not impact their behavior. A unified religious party with the Mizrachi was a different issue, and it was not decided based on 'shitos', the issue then was that practically, they would lose more than they gained.
3. Mocheh doesn't mean 'not treating with respect'. The mecha'ah done against abominable behavior and laws has to be done with sechel too. There is no Chazal that demands that we go 'kupp in vant', and as long as no statement saying אחינו אתה is made, it is muttar.
4. The idea that when we see divine justice we should run to find someone else to blame is abominable. We should search our own actions, not other people's.
When the less religious threaten with the Draft or people attack our communities there interesting how the previous excuses/ apologetics aren't bandied around
DeleteAl atzmecha Chus
Al Kono aino chus
So what impractical, theatrical, moves are taken when they wish to draft us?
DeleteHurray. Another high-end grocery store coming. We are so fortunate. Mi K'Amchah Yisroel. This is such a need in our community and special thanks to those who go out of their way to make it happen. Now, we can accelerate the rates of obesity and diabetes among achenu bnai yisroel as they fress even more garbage.
ReplyDeleteUmmm…I buy things at Breadberry that are made far healthier than other places in town…
DeleteReally? Name three things?
DeleteMore stores.
DeleteMore competition.
Cheaper prices
Better service.
Maybe they'll even mark the prices.
While his recommendation will remain window dressing, unless parts of Reformare prepared to come out of the closet[pun] & finally admit they have had nothing left for generations besides glorified mantras of Far Left for which they have vehemently, ruthlessly inverted Judaism until it was inside out, R'YY Reinman must evidently have had some salutary effect on Amiel Hirsch during their [in]famous controversial correspondence.
ReplyDeleteOK Please make sure let us know whenever the churches on the 9 and all around town have worship so we can be aware of the extra traffic. How stupid
ReplyDeleteThe workers didn't show up today now i know why
DeleteYes I DO have a problem with ignoramuses that "honor" the Jedishim with yom hashoah, sirens, silence etc
ReplyDeleteRcAvadia Yosef said playing instruments by davening is like the reform, why do let this Mordy Shtieble lowlife hangout do so in our Helege town?? Enough with the Breslov BS
ReplyDeleteThe chasam sofer zy"u was also very against bringing organs into shuls.
DeleteAnd I still trying figure out why people think the guitar is any different
It is completely different. He wasn't against playing organs in shul because it played music. He was against it because it was blatantly trying to make a shul seem more like a church. Playing a guitar during hallel may or may not be appropriate but it has absolutely nothing to do with the Chasam Sofer.
DeleteIf you actually learned the Chasam Sofer inside, instead of from story books, you would know the difference between organs and guitars.
DeleteYeah! Another great tuna bagel grocery in Lakewood!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the Reform "rabbi" being quoted was necessary after all.
DeleteHighliting how bankrupt the reform movement is very important for us to see what has become of that movement.
DeleteIf you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen
So you don't like tuna beigels what do you eat for lunch?
DeleteDitto.That movement's more recent offshoots & imitators like OO or the Moskowitz synagogue too
DeleteMr cohen it’s always good to hear your pearls of wisdom! Hope you have a wonderful night.
ReplyDeleteMr cohen what’s your take on yungeleit and rebbeim regarding yt distributions? are you from the camp that they already get so much and we should rather focus on the middle class who need it most or continue throwing money at the yungeleit and rebbeim?
ReplyDeleteAnon905: what makes you think that the bnei torah are interfering with your parnossa?
DeleteNobody said they’re interfering with anyone’s parnassa. The question was if balabatim in a position to help others should shift their focus from them to those who are most in need now.
ReplyDeleteSorry its not a fair world!
DeleteIt's not about being practical and shifting focus according to the need.
Learn from very successful baalei batim if you are looking to be successful. Their hatzlocho does not depend on how much chesed they support but rather how much torah they support. The highest level of tzedaka is supporting talmidei chachomim!
Aren't we here on this earth to try to make it more fair?
DeleteAh so you say not to care about our brothers in need. Ok. I don’t think most would agree with that and that is against what the Torah tells us. I’m not suggesting not to support Torah but when trying to help others financially you may want to consider who needs it most.
ReplyDeleteEveryone stop implying that only youngerlight and rebbeim are "Bnei Torah" it is offensive
ReplyDeleteBtw there are plenty of tzedaka organizations helping the needy which don't discriminate. Bur if you feel there is a need for more then you are welcome to donate or go raise money.
ReplyDeleteThe question is why everyone is just busy fundraising for the yungeleit and rebbeim and why most organizations are helping them when they need it least now since they get so much help. The comment about bnei Torah is 100% correct but unfortunately organizations don’t give based on whether or not one is a Ben Torah but rather what his title is.
