Keren olam HaTorah sounds like a scam!? 1) they said they needed 107 million and that within a few days they GOT it, so why are we still hearing about this emergency?! 2) How exactly will this money be decided among yeshivas in EY, will Slobodka receive the same as yeshivas?? 3) are they punishing yeshivas that struggled till now that did not take zionest funding???
ReplyDelete1) The truth is that they did not raise 107 million. They raised over 80 but that is not 107.
Delete2) The money will be distributed exactly the way the funding cuts are. If Slabodka received money from the medinah as stipends for military age bachurim/yungerlite they will get that amount. If they didnt then this will not replace it.
3) No one is punishing those who never took money. They are not being affected by these funding cuts which is what this campaign aims to replace.
I do not know what you are hoping to accomplish, but posting over and over incorrect facts and hyperbole trying to dissuade people from donating to support yeshivos will only get you to somewhere no one wants to be...Not being mishtatef to a devar mitzvah is one thing, being monea acherim is exponentially worse. [Putting to the side the serious issue of zilzul chachomim.] I do not envy your place leachar meah ve'esrim.
1)Even if they only collected 80 million The number of a 107 million was For the entire year, Which at this point is highly unlikely they will be cut off for an entire year.2) The number included all who took money which includes the chassidim gur and viznitz etc arguably 50%of the total Which are not getting any funding from this campaign.3) not all peleg don't take And so should be allowed to partake in this fund, They're not being included because of political reasons.
DeleteHas this keren (fund) ever said so?
DeleteThey did say these RYs hired gabbaim (askanim) to distribute the money, without saying what the criteria for distribution are.
I guarantee you the main RYs are calling the shots, however they desire.
And I haven't heard specifics on giving to talmidim. Will it be like Adirei-Kollel checks, or general fund of the RYs?
This Kerenolamhatorah not much different from Adirim, is like a meshulich who gets up and gives a pitch about his L"A emergency disaster story and why he needs emergency funds from the public, he gives a emotional dynamic presentation with all kinds of Rabbinic endorcments, and it really tugs at your heart and you give what you can. The problem is when he KEEPS COMING BACK AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN with the same story, it LOOSES ITS EFFECT
ReplyDeleteNoone buys this. Everyone needs to serve equally. If you don't then you won't get public funding from the serving public's taxes. Really not too complicated. They need to brush up their sales pitch. This is getting old.
ReplyDeleteSome serve on the field, some serve in back offices, some serve in the hospitals, and some serve in the bais medrash. Not all wars are won on the frontline. When Israel will recognize that, they will succeed. Ever since they started the attack on the yeshivas, they have been losing the PR war for sure, and losing on the battlefield. Flattening entire arab towns is not called winning. They are still firing rockets this far into the war.
DeleteYou don't truly believe that ,I don't believe that ,nobody believes that. Would any yeshiva bochur trade places with a soldier so that way he will get a turn to learn? How about 2 for 1, 2 soldiers will learn for every yeshiva boy going to the Army?
DeleteThe reality is the frum oilam Is not loyal to the zionist ideals and therefore won't lay down their lives for them. It is that simple.
Anon @9:00 am - Israel has been loosing the PR was since October 7. Actually since 1948. You are just noticing it now - because you are looking for it.
DeleteTaxes taxes taxes going up
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a sad reality in Lakewood due to lack of poor planning and giving out PILOT tax abatements to developers. Is this pure גזל הרבים
I love it how the same people claim that Biden is in a state of terrible cognitive decline, who cannot do anything, and yet they call the DHS 'the Biden DHS', with him to blame for low-level decisions that have nothing to do with national policy.
ReplyDeleteThe Trump Religion has a strong hold on its adherents.
Although I plan to vote for Trump because I can't see myself voting for any Democrat for President, I agree with you about the Trump religion. So many just parrot what they hear on right wing talk shows and the like. They don't really know what they're talking about. Sometimes I think they sound like the Pro Palestinian protestors who don't know which river or which sea. If you questioned them about details, they wouldn't have anything coherent to say.
DeleteI'm no Trump fan but people who think this comment is an accurate depiction of reality are probably worse than the Trump (follow with the insult you were told to say instead of saying) supporters. Someone can be in bad state of cognitive decline and still be responsible for messing up at the border. That shouldn't be too hard to understand.
DeleteMaybe our Democratic Assemblyman can cut the (several)billion-plus to Newark and other Abbott districts (Jersey City, Trenton, plainview Paterson, ettc) that can go to regular districts where students actually learn.
ReplyDeleteEvery Republican will vote for it. No need to raise taxes.
Not only does it loose its affect you loose respect for all the Rabbonim that inforcei him
