  1. Since when did the internet become mutter to raise money for tzedaka??

    Was there a public asifa to undo everything that went on at citifield?

    Rav Mattisyahu would have NEVER allowed this excuse to use the internet, who gave the psak that online campaigns are kosher?
    Even during Adirei Hatorah the Rosh yeshivos were livid about the websites after they found out about it.
    Is everything muttar when rich powerful balei batim run the show?

    1. What makes R Mattisyahu the final word on this? Just because other gedolim (eg R Yosef Rosenblum) weren't as vocal with their misgivings of the whole city field/ tag maasah doesn't make them less relevant

    3. Was there ever a heter to comment on blogs?

    4. No there was no heter for that nor was there a heter to use the internet for anything that is not tzorech parnassa

    5. So this time they will also be livid afterwards.

      No problem.

  2. Says the anonymous individual posting bravely on an internet blog, radiating tremendous doses of hatred towards those who have been blessed with more than he and are using much of that to support Torah in any way that they can.

    1. Sorry but you are attacking without answering the question.
      Again when did online fundraising become approved by the gedolim

      Delete
    2. That has become the tactic of the left and those less affiliated with true torah. If you can't answer the tough questions, just question the premise or person asking it, and distract from the real issue. It is sad how the "average" person has become so lazy to use their mind and see through this charade.

      Delete
    3. Anon 10:57 -The tactic of the haters to demand answers to their hateful ("tough"?) questions with enormously not self-aware hypocrisy. And to deflect criticism of their hypocritical hatred with gaslighting about how the questions are not being answered. And to claim the mantle of "true Torah". All reminiscent of movements in the past beginning with Korach. Bitter fools. Do you think R' Moshe Hillel, R' Dov etc Shlita do not know that the fundraiser is online?

      Delete
    4. The lkwd rosh yeshivis were not aware of adirei hatorah online websites so there's good reason to believe that the gedolim are not aware and if they are it should cone with a haskama letter since this is against the status quo that the gedolim held about internet

      Delete
  3. All the above is true except your final comment should have read:

  5. Why did they boast how they collected the entire 107million in just a few days, and now all of a sudden 23million is missing???

    1. They got pledges no real money that why they turned to the simpletons to get actual cash

      Delete
    2. Simple answer. They never said they raised the full amount. If they arent legitimate reasons to hate on the gedolim I guess just continue making things up.

  6. Maybe these mosdos in EY should close if they survived only by triefe money from the madina

    ReplyDelete
  7. How come huge mosdosa KAH like Toldos Aaron manage to function w/o taking any money from the Tzionim??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Because Toldos Aaron had Satmar in the USA supporting them all these years. The Bnei Torah, on the other hand, were taking money from the government. Now that the government stopped giving, the Bnei Torah are turning to their supporters in the USA - mainly in Lakewood, NJ - to begin supporting the Yeshivos of the Bnei Torah. Just like Satmar has been supporting Toldos Aaron.

      Why are some people so full of hatred of Bnei Torah that they need to twist the truth?

      Delete
    2. Toldos Aharon chassidim, by and large, work. They aren't the same as the tzibbur of Bnei Torah who live mostly in poverty.

      Delete
    3. yes, toldos aharon chasidim, by and large, are rich, live lives of luxury and never come to america to shnor, but the tzibur of bnei torah live mostly in poverty and there are no balhabatim in israel who can help them.

  8. Perhaps any bochur in EY who has a driver's license or a smart phone should be drafted

  9. Is it true that Keren Olam Torah is not giving money to Peleg affiliated yeshivos.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. For what feels like the hundredth time...this campaign is to raise money for what was recently cut due to giyus. No more and no less. If there are peleg yeshivos that are affected (I don't believe so, but perhaps) they will get the amount that was cut. Those that were not affected will not receive because that is not what the campaign is about.
      It really really is not that complicated.

      Delete
    2. I don't know, but I hope not.

      A Yeshiva is for learning, not pushing political agendas.

      Delete
    3. What feels like the hundredth time. There are plenty of peleg yeshivas for example markovitch ponevez, which take funds from the government and no they are not receiving from this collection.

      Delete
    4. If I was in charge, I wouldn't give any money to Peleg yeshivos. That's like Israel giving money to Hamas.

      Delete
    5. The money is only going to yeshivot with "connection"
      Peleg, by its nature, has no protexia.

      BTW, the five-zix RYs never said anything about which yeshivot are getting this money, or who in the yeshivot are getting the money.
      Meaning these 5-6 are getting most of the money, and the RYs will distribute it however they wish.

      Delete
    6. Peleg has no protektzia?!
      They managed to hoodwink Satmar and received millions from them.
      There are plenty of morons in America who think they are fighting Rav Shach's fight by supporting those who epitomize the opposite of his shitah.

      They have enough protektzia, and the Yetzer Hara has enough money.

      Delete
    7. To 5:27
      They have no protexia with the 6 RYs.
      Maybe if Satmar and or peleg $upporters will give this keren some money, they'll have some protexia.

      Delete
  10. Having a big marketing campaign such as the like ls of adirei and Schnall with yeshivish slogans won't excuse the glaring question why it is ok to use the internet

  11. Nancy Pelosi can't be considered an arbiter of good or bad if she thought this was the worst speech ever made by a representative of the Israeli govt. It was a singularly well-constructed, rousing and cogent speech. It made me proud!

  12. Why do the so called askanim use the Lakewood youngeleit as a free Phillipines customer service center. It is disgusting and a bizayon hatorah to constantly use the bnei Torah of Lakewood to do the dirty work of powerful bully askanim.
    Let the balei batim give up from their kumzitz partying and make the phone calls in bais faiga .
    Youngeleit spent all day in yeshiva they come home for bein hasdorim and the bully askanim decide to pressure them to give up super at home with the wife and kids and make phone calls like a cheap philipino. Shameful that this is what is going on.
    Wasn't it enough to have everyone come stand in the rain for 2 hours skipping super to attend the kabolas panim
    Now again they use the rosshei yeshiva and bully them to force cheap labor of the youngeleit.
    The Olam must stand up to this bizayon oh humanity and abuse of youngeleit and say עד כאן.
    Enough is Enough!!!
