- From Agudah chairman's take: Rabbi Sherer was a visionary, and the final message of his life is evidence. In the notes he prepared for the speech he planned to give at the Agudah dinner in May,1998, he mentioned a news item: a New York sports team was planning to build a massive new stadium. Others saw the same tidbit, but Rabbi Sherer clipped it, because, he wrote, "with Hashem's help, that stadium will serve us well when it hosts the Siyum HaShas." He was niftar several hours before that dinner, but the vision was realized. This week, we had yet another planning meeting for the upcoming Siyum HaShas, this one scheduled- with Hashem's help- for precisely two years from now, Rosh Chodesh Sivan 2027.
- A Campaign to Fight Trump: Josh Gottheimer's current campaign messaging has centered heavily on opposing President Donald Trump, whose policies and record remain broadly supported within many Orthodox Jewish communities.In recent statements, Gottheimer emphasized that he is "running to stop Donald Trump’s agenda" and has campaigned on reversing key elements of the Trump administration’s legacy. As a member of Congress, Gottheimer frequently criticized Trump’s education, immigration, and social policies. His campaign website lists "stopping Trumpism" as a core mission. (Faanews)

I guess that means Ami's stock is about to soar
ReplyDeleteWhy is Agudah raining in on Adirei Hatorah parade they did not have to advertise the siyum and should have waited until after aadirei event
ReplyDeleteThis is why the askanim and vaad are playing with fire by supporting Gottheimer in a primary election.
ReplyDeleteThere's a strong possibility that Trump will be coming to the Lakewood area to campaign for Jack Ciattarelli he knows that Lakewood support him over 90%
Will we spit him in the face and say sorry Mr. President we are voting for a Trump hating democrat nominee?
We were told by paid off askanim to vote Democrat we have no loyalty to our faith or beliefs..
How will that look?
Do we need the spotlight of the entire country on us??
It seems that you and many other commenters here are totally missing the boat.
DeleteWe are being encouraged to vote for Gottheimer in the PRIMARIES, no one said anything about the general election.
This is to ensure that in the case that a Democrat will win the governor's race, which is pretty likely, it will be the lesser of the evil. If you research the other Democrat candidates, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Gottheimer is a Democrat, everyone knows that. No one expects him to be pro Trump or anti toeva
No one missed the boat.
DeleteThe vaad is going against Ciattarelli which is the natural choice of Lakewood voters.
The endorsement for Gottheimer means they hope to push him through over the top in the primaries and endorse him in the general over Ciattarelli.
Josh is against school vouchers and just as bad as other Democrat he's Phil Murphy 2.0 that did nothing to help the community and raised taxes making NJ unaffordable
The biggest joke is Democrat Gittheiner pretending to be a lowering taxes candidate
NO ONE BELIEVES HIM
and there's a strong possibility that mikie Sherril or Fulop win and than the vaad burned bridges of the community by getting bought off by Josh
Your claim against the Va'ad is not on what they did, but for what you believe they will do in the future.
DeleteOur Torah does not permit that.
JB, explain why the vaad is pushing the "unaffiliated" to vote for Josh ?
Delete@JB are you blinded by Gottheimers money or yiu are a paid vaad stooge.
DeleteDo you think that If Trump comes to Lakewood campaigns for Ciattarelli the community will say no thank you we are voting for the guy who hates you and your policies
we are voting for the guy who is against tuition vouchers
We are voting for someone who will bring shmutz into our classrooms
Voting against G-D???
Seriously??
@1:18
DeleteI am not paid by the vaad, I get paid from Gottheimer campaign. $300 for every pro Gottheimer comment that I post on Hefkervelt.
You don't even have the seichel to understand my comment.
Voting for Gottheimer has nothing to do with Ciattarelli, I plan on voting for Gottheimer in the primaries and then for Ciattarelli in the general election. Voting for Gottheimer is only to keep the other democrat candidates off the ballot, hopefully
Encouraging voting for a Democrat in the primaries (even more the unaffiliated, or changing parties) is a call for spotlight chillul Hashem to agree that hasn't been in a while.
DeleteLet the vaad and adirei askanim say with a straight face they will support Ciattarelli in the general.
DeleteOhh they won't cuz they want a Democrat to give them money that won't trickle down to the rest of Lakewood
but this attempt to use the Jewish community to manipulate a general election is a chilul Hashem of epic proportions and התגרות באומות
We are in danger from paid off askanim and their corrupt lapdog media and watsapp guys
How about an advertising campaign "vote for nursing home profiteering, vote Gottheimer". (I have nothing against profiteering, but not at expense of Talmud Torah.)
ReplyDeleteComey looks like he is missing a few screws. A possible reflection on the demcratic powers players.
ReplyDeleteAny stores selling the satmar rebbetzins cheese cake
ReplyDeletehttps://blog.torahmatzav.com/2013/05/eating-milchigs-on-shavous.html
ReplyDeleteThe Mishna Verura (494 sk 12) says one of the reasons for eating Milchigs on Shavuos is because after Matan Torah, they couldn’t eat meat, because it was too time consuming.
They would need to shecht, remove the chailev , rinse ,salt and cook in a new pot.
They chose instead milchig.
What's pshat ?
Matan Torah was on Shabbos and couldn’t do all this because of issur Shabbos and not because of takes too much time
This question was answered by the Chofetz Chaim himself.
Anyone who spells Mishnah Berurah with a "v" needs a lot of help!
ReplyDeleteThe correct dikduk is actually verura
DeleteHave you ever noticed that "v" on the keyboard is right near "b" ? A simple typo? perhaps its you who needs help ?
DeleteAnon 12:58 - you look like you too could use some help. Two pills, three times a day, ah mechaye.
DeleteEvery morning during birchos hashachar we say "besafah "V"rurah ubineemah", same applies for Mishna "V"rurah.
DeleteRidiculous no one is spitting in anyone’s face by voting for a different candidate. Everyone is entitled to vote for whomever they want to. And if “your” candidate loses so what, the winner is already planning to get reelected and will want your vote. There is no reason to worry about revenge unless the candidate that wins is a known anti semite like Zohran Mamdani the fellow running in ny city primaries for mayor
ReplyDeleteWhere is your proof Zohrani is an anti-Semite? Stop playing the anti-semitism card.
DeleteWhere is your proof that Biden is demented
DeleteOnly a real idiot could think that a guy like Zohran Mamdani who the only Jewish groups he meets with are Jewish antisemitic ones is not an antisemite. That is even for those who believe that his tweets after October 7th were only "anti Zionist:"
Delete6:30
DeleteI'm sure our liberal Jews are voting for him.
You're mixing up Maharani with Ras Baraka or ho seems to be in second place in NJ polls
DeleteBaraka's father was an avowed antisemite. This one is just as bad.
Did Rav Kalmanowitz look at the math before giving his 'hadracha' Rav Slolmowitz and Rav Kalman Epstein looked into the shiduch crisis in depth and by having boys come back earlier will help. Can we have a reason for Rav kalamanowotz shitta? The other side have been quite clear about the reasoning.
ReplyDeleteWhat math? Did rabbis slomowitz epstein ever see the math themselves?? That would be in Herculean effort to gather all that information how many older boys how many older girls who are no longer affiliated with any institutions! If they had that math they would share it with everybody since it would be so conclusive one way or another. This stab at the crisis was rather myopic and infantile, if we match years then we might minimize the gap which either exists or doesn't and regardless ignore any of the older girls or boys for that matter and sort of start on a new Fresh slate. Who exactly allowed them to just ignore and write off all those people that don't fit into their solution??
DeleteDid you read the letter?
DeleteDid you learn the mishna he quotes?
Did the math theorists look at data?
Does anybody have a link to the letter? Also, what Mishnah does he quote?
DeleteThis blog is one big mouthpiece for BMG. Why because they decided to waste everyone time with this silly adirei hatorah should Agudah, that has been doing this for decades not advertise? The whole adirei is one silly event run by Baal habatim (ceo) such a shallow event, against everything the litvishe yeshiva system stood for. Not one of Rav Aharon’s talmidim show up, besides Rav zukkerman.
Deleteאודות על מה שנתעוררו איזה רבנים על מצב הבנתו בארה"ב שיש כבר שנים רבות שיש הרבה בנות שאין להם בחורים ונעשים מבוגרות וכו', והחליטו לקבוע שכל הבנות יאחרו זמן התחלת השידוכים, ומאידך הבחורים יקדימו לימודם באר"י ויחזרו שנה יותר מוקדם מהמקובל עד כיום ובזה יריוחו החסרון הנ"ל, וגם צרפו לזה עוד סברות להרוויח ענינים בישיבות וכו'. ומאידך עוררו רבנים אחרים שאין ראוי לעשות כן. וביקשתם לשאול קדם רבינו מה הדעת התורה הק' בכגון דא. והאמם רבינו אאמו"ר שליט"א התפלא על המידה הגדושה של עזות הנצרכת להתערב בכגון דא, ואם על מי שגס ליבו בהוראה נאמר במשנה באבות כי הינו שוטה רשע וגס רוח בכגון דא הרי זה בכפל כפלים, ותוצאות אלו הדברים מי ישורה, כמאמר הגמרא במסכת ע"ז שעל זה אמר שלמה המלך בחכמתו "כי רבים חללם הפילה", רחמנא יצילנו.
DeleteCorrect no one owns your vote. Vote for whomever YOU want
ReplyDeleteBoycott Mishpacha magazine!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Fullop also a yid? Mayor of Jersey City? Has a history of actually helping yidden, & possibly some yeshiva or Talmud Torah background?
ReplyDeletehe is a Jew. Nice guy who likes to help people. Attended Paysach Raymon elementary school in Edison for a year or two as a kid though he was never observant. he is married to a non-Jew.
DeleteHe went to Rav Pesach Raymond Yeshiva in Edison where he lived. K-8
DeleteHis grandmother and my mother were good friends back in Boto Park.
Ok. Now what does he STAND FOR?
DeleteFullop has a history of helping Jews? When? Who? Fullop recently referred to a state bill targeting antisemitism as “dangerous”. It was scrubbed off the internet after the Jersey city shootings but Fullop made negative comments to the New York Times about frum people moving to Jersey City and frum people in general when the topic was discussed.
DeleteWho is kidding? Dig up JG enough, & guaranteed to find unhappy attitudes to frum Jews.
DeleteUnless your definition of Frum is different/basically meaningless.
Dig up JG enough...IOW You are making a baseless statement and telling to me verify it because you know no one is going to make the effort . You don't need to dig to find Fullop's hostility to the frum world. He said it to The New York times
DeleteWhen somebody supports anti-judaism stances like JG you sure expect he be anti-frum too.Unless we are empty suits & skirts.Maybe..
DeleteThe vaad has pollsters showing that Gottheimer has a chance to beat Ciattarelli in the general that's why they are pushing for him now in the primaries.
ReplyDeleteThe big question is
What were the back room deals that the liaison promised the askanim???
As soon as Roshey Yeshiva stop bochurim to marry for big money there will no longer be any shidduch crises
ReplyDelete100% true.
DeleteNot true
DeleteAs soon as bochurim will have come through the system and have confidence that they can succeed and make a livable Parnasa they will have a whole different outlook what to look for in a wife and not have crazy expectations.
DeleteFor sure true. .Buchurim need to take achrayus , not every bais bucher should say im learning forever and need full support. Years ago very fere demanded the full support the bocher took achrayus. Rav Slomowitz lookeed at the data and has good ideas. What data did Rav Kalamanowitz look at? What is Rav Kalmanowitz idea to solve all the girls (and boys) who are single?
DeleteTotally true. Why else to the less wealthy girls have a harder time getting a yes? Unless their father is some major choshuve rabbi. Bottom line is and has been for long time money talks!!!
ReplyDeletePlain not true.
DeleteWealthy girls are as likely to remain unmarried for years as poor girls.
Look at the data.
Are they unattractive?
Delete9:12,
ReplyDeleteMostly correct,but unlikely to change.There is too much at stake for them.
