See https://fixinglakewood.blogspot.com/2025/04/guest-article-voting-for-wzo-eretz.html for a comprehensive article about voting for the WZO. It all began as comments on Hefkervelt.
ReplyDeleteStupid empty article. No tochen just a kamala style word salad. Don't waste your time.
DeleteBlogger of the above article writes 'reb' chaim ozer, 'reb' reuven grozovsky, 'reb' ahron kotler, 'reb' moshe feinstein. But when it comes to rabbi jbs of boston and yu, he writes 'rav' soloveichik. Shows who he respects. Sorry keep your krum twisted modern orthodox hashkafa to yourself.
DeleteI think Reb Chaim Ozer was and is known as Reb Chaim Ozer, whereas Rav Soloveitchik was and is known as Rav Soloveitchik. Nobody is stupid enough to think they were even equals.
DeleteAfter seeing these comments here, I went to read the article.
DeleteHe brings up points that nobody brought up yet. I would love to see the answer to him, because he makes a great argument why there is no proof from the Chofetz Chaim at all. It's a different shaala.
What is the answer? I am sure fixinglakewood will post an article that argues with that.
According to this article, we don't exactly know why the Chofetz Chaim said you can't join them, so let's conjure it has something to do with russia back then, and simply close our eyes and ignore ignore 100 years of gedolim, including as recent as rav eliyashiv, who were all vehemently against. They were all clueless, and let's make fun of rav malkiel because he was 10 years old when rav ahron was nifter, even though 5 years ago tens of rav ahron's talmidim signed against. Really smart arguments that are just screaming for an answer.
DeleteAnon 12:20 Those who oppose voting pretty much do so the same thing with R' Chaim Kaneivski and any other gadol who is claimed to have supported voting
DeleteOther than the fact that Rav chaim kanievsky never matired it
DeleteI know, the video was fake. Sure.
DeleteAnon 12:20 - I don't know that we read the same article. The article I read explained clearly why the Chofetz Chaim said the Yeshivos shouldn't join them. Which article were you referring to?
DeleteNothing to see there, just another attempt by the fixinglakewood loser to promote his heap dung.
ReplyDeleteSeems like the zionist enterprise is a colony of the US
