very impressive how he fought the Zionists who want to close down yeshivas
ReplyDeleteNot arguing, just asking for a friend.... which Yeshiva did the Zionists try to close down?
DeleteThey cut funding to them, is that not trying to close them down?
DeleteHis Yeshiva didn't have its funding cut at all.
DeleteHow is "cutting funding" trying to close down a yeshiva? And why should they finance a yeshiva if the students don't participate in contributing to the military like the rest of the taxpayers?
DeleteAccording to my research, not one Yeshiva has ever been closed by the Zionists.
I’m baffled at the attitude that some in the Charedei world have. On the one hand they talk endlessly about how much they hate the Zionists, how terrible the Zionists are etc. On the other hand they expect the Zionists to fund their Yeshivas and cater to many of their other needs. Then they act clueless about why they are hated in return.
Delete4:58,Same old story
DeleteJust change charedim vs zionists
to Jews vs goyim
10:29 As someone who is way more sympathetic to non-Jewish grievances about the Jewish community than most people are your comment is nonsense. In the US for example there are no Jewish groups whose entire identity is tied up with hating non-Jews, there are no Jewish groups who are well known and very vocal about their animosity towards non-Jews but still directly demand from non-Jews support for their schools etc.
DeleteC'mon
DeleteThere are many ways to squeeze other than just directly
Did the zionists close one yeshiva?
ReplyDeleteBTW in Ponevizh, his own Yeshiva were he was s Rosh Yeshiva, they would shamfully fly the zionest flag from on top of the Bais Medrish every year!!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess the ponovitch rav who flew the israeli flag is shameful in your eyes and daas torah. You must have tremendous 'pikchus'
ReplyDeleteI think he was being sarcastic.
