  1. Classic case of where the "handlers" are attempting to distort the words of our holy sages. We have a clear audio of Reg Gershon allowing to vote in WZO (and a video AND a signature haskama from Reb Chaim) and the handlers should stop draying a kup.

    They, and todays Gedolim can assur all they want, but the distortion of what our previous Gedolim paskened needs to stop

    1. The distortion is how the audio was presented the lies and deception don't stop as they are desperate for votes

    2. Hmmmmm… Reb Chaim’s video? What was the question posed to Reb Chaim?(originally) Reb Chaim’s letter? Which letter are we choosing today? The Kdai meod lehatzbia one or the laasos knal I’ll let you choose today

      Delete
    3. To the contrary, the grandson handler in the reb gershon audio is pushing him for wZo, and reb gershon is very reluctant.

      Delete
    4. 10:45 The letter in Reb Chaims own handwriting

      Delete
    5. 10:47 Not sure what your point is. Bottom line, did Reb Gershon say ASSUR or MUTTAR

      Delete
    6. He said if all the American gedolim are behind it, then they can be somech on them. WHICH WAS A LIE. The American gedolim were against.

      Delete
  2. The rav gershon audio is not clear, and they frame the audio in a context which is not accurate. The discussion was not about voting, it was about malinowitz unofficially helping out, after claims that all american are behind it. not true at all.

    1. *all american gedolim

      they specifically mentioned rav shmuel who we know today was never behind eretz hakodesh, only reluctantly agreed to figut after being misled that Rav Chaim was for. All their lies had unraveled, but by then the voting finished.

      the lies told to Rav Shmuel in 2020 are slowly coming out, and it's really sick.

      Delete
    2. 10:40 go back to BMG coffee room for another cuppa joe. Reb Shmuel personally wrote to Reb Chaim asking for clarification and received a WRITTEN RESPONSE from Reb Chaim that Yesh Laasos. How exactly was Reb Shmuel mislead ????

      Delete
    3. You mean the written response that Rav Shmuel and everyone else can't even read? Go back to the shikur store

      Delete
  3. 5 years ago they clearly lied about what Rav Chaim wrote, he never wrote כדאי מאוד להצביע. They "quoted" words which he never wrote. Nothing that comes from them has any נאמנות.

    1. The conversation that matter here is not what EH has to say and whether they have neemonus or not, but rather to firmly establish what Reb Chaim and Reb Gershon held. The Kannoim and and the handlers will have you believe that Reb Chaim and Reb Gershon were never Mattir and attempt to distort whatever they said. We now have:

      Video and signature from Reb Chaim to vote
      Audio from Reb Gershon to vote
      Audio from Reb Shmuel to vote
      Signed letter from Rav Gurowitz to vote
      Video's from Rav Shmuel Fuerst, Reb Elya Brudny all saying to vote

      Delete
    2. Let's scratch the last three on your list because the tzibur has never followed them. And R Brudny has said the audio from last time was a meaningless q&a
      And he clearly expressed this time against.

      That leave ls a scribble that no can read. Audio from reb gershon answering a different question. And Rav Shmuel son who was involved clearly and repeatedly saying it's not true.

      You have nothing.

    3. Wow that’s so many names so just be true. But like any thing that’s been assur for generations can you please repeat from any of these gedolim the heter to vote is? What changed? Are more than half of yeshivis closing?

      Delete
  4. Reb Shalom Kamenetzkyy wrote a full accoun this weekt of the exchange with the letter he said the chotzer of reb chaim manipulated and played games rav shmuel was upset and once it went public by Rav Elya Brudnys mashbak website YWN he couldn't say anything in order not to degrade the house of Reb Chaim
    That is the Truth

    Sheker will not hold

    1. WHY CAN'T REB SHMUEL HIMSELF PUBLICLY STATE HIS OPINION AND SHITA????

      We are not interested in Reb Shalom's or "the Gabbai in Reb Shmuels House" opinions and distortions. We know back then Reb Shmuel was clearly mattir to vote for Eretz Hakodesh

      The audio is in link below, scroll down till you see it

      https://vinnews.com/2020/02/26/drama-rabbi-aharon-feldman-and-rabbi-malkiel-kotler-threaten-to-quit-moetzes-over-wzo-controversy/

      If Reb Shmuel was Choizer, why doesn't he himself say so?

      When Reb Shmuel wants to retract (or clarify his opinion) he has done it in the past

      https://matzav.com/letter-from-rav-shmuel-kamenetsky-i-never-gave-approbation-to-vayichan-shom-yisroel-organization/

      Why not do so now again?

  5. The fact the Eretz Hakodesh is throwing out 2 hail Mary's at the end of the campaign shows they know that those letters and audio are very shaky and easily exposed if it were solid truth it would have been put out right away.

    The biggest CHUTZPAH is the disgusting sick campaign they tried to make and smear that the Lakewood Roshei yeshiva were influenced and bought off by the conservatives...
    That's all you need to know about the people who are hiding behind Rav Chaim and Rav Gershon

    1. Eretz Hakodesh in hiding behind Rav Chaim and Rav Gershon....... unlike Rav 11:53 hiding behind "Anonymous" on Lakewood's premier hock site

      Delete
    2. Anonymous sounds more fair then stealing gedolim 's names and pictures.
      Unanimous might be more real.

      Delete
  6. We were always told that the gedolim cannot be manipulated and here we clearly see otherwise.

    We can assume the same manipulation was used as "daas torah" for voting for Avi Scnhall, banning Hatzulas Nafashos, supporting LBA, supporting KCL, building kollel buildings against neighbors wishes, covid minyanim/closures, TAG, and more.

  7. Exactly ab. Once we start the claim that Gedolim were manipulated and their psak is not relevant, there is no end to that slippery slope. Taking that route is a millions times worse and more destructive to klal yisroel and yiddishkeit than giving $5 to WZO

    1. Why is voting the outcome you chose, rather than shev v'aal taaseh, and don't vote?

      Delete
  8. No gadol would say you can vote no one who actually gave a reason for this a heter has ever agreed it was assur and now it’s mutar examples rabbi brudny said he never read the Jerusalem program and rabbi feurst didn’t know that it was ever assur case closed this is not a question of who said what it’s assur PERIOD the ehk are trying so hard hiring marketing companies to fool people to vote that’s the best they can do as the truth is not what they are working with

    1. What about Reb Eliyahu Levin? He explained himself to anyone who asks, and he doesn't know any marketing companies.

      Delete
    2. That’s great! So what is his reason?

      Delete
    3. On every controvesal topic, there will always be a daas yachid, and as great as a person is, his opinion remains just that, a daas yachid.

      One thing is certain, Rav Eliyahu does not hold one should vote, while he might hold one MAY vote, he DOESN'T hold one SHOULD vote and definitely not that one MUST vote. So ask yourself, do you have a right to follow a daas yachid of your own choosing to engage in a dvar reshus, when the daas of ruba diruba forbid it? The obvious answer is no. Are you a person thats going to do whatever the heck you want anyways? Then why to you need to hang your hat on Rav Eliyahu?
