Trump: Monday’s Court Order in Utah(on congressional redistricting) is absolutely Unconstitutional. How did such a wonderful Republican State like Utah, which I won in every Election, end up with so many Radical Left Judges? All Citizens of Utah should be outraged at their activist Judiciary, which wants to take away our Congressional advantage, and will do everything possible to do so. This incredible State sent four great Republicans to Congress, and we want to keep it that way. The Utah GOP has to STAY UNITED, and make sure their four terrific Republican Congressmen stay right where they are!

Which school closed
ReplyDeleteMesoras hatorah
DeletePrivileged to enter the home of the chazon ish.... The chazon ish was not a latter-day maran he did not have a chatzer or mashbak anyone and everyone was welcome and even when the door was closed you just knocked on the window.... A different era..
ReplyDeleteR Shteinman was like that as well.At least at the beginning
DeleteHis wife was an another type of gatekeeper
DeleteHe had the privilege that you and I didn't have.
DeleteHe had the privilege of being alive at the time and living in close enough proximity, with enough sechel to understand that he should go into the Chazon Ish.
Whatever happened to the oversight committee on the LSTA
ReplyDeleteThey unilaterally highjacked the government funded busing for mandated yeshiva students and now control over 40 million with no one watching overthem nor anyone to turn to when they don't reach out for complaints.
This is not legal as they are using tax dollars and no oversight.
Where are all the askanim who pushed the schools into doing this
Where are the politicians
Maybe the BOE will actually answer your questions. The BOE used to take care of the bussing and nobody was charged the extra $$ that LTSA charges taxpayers. Yes the monitors are saying no to Inzelbuch as they want the board members to act like representatives and run the BOE. We owe millions to the state and yes the taxpayers are on the hook for it. It is not sustainable. Taxpayers are drowning. We had good people running for the BOE but VAAD who represents self interests and power people said vote and maintain the status quo.
DeleteStill waiting for a public list of who the vaad is and why they’re relevant.
DeleteRandom posters telling us to vote with no name on it.
The LSTA is NOT legal.
DeleteI am glad this avreich was greeted like a hero, we are all in the resistance to the Zionist shmad, if Zamir wants more cannon fodder he can go to the discos in tel aviv and get it there, but we are only loyal to the Abishter and we dont care about Zamir, Shmir, Bibi, shmibi, we overcame the Holocaust, Stalin, Communists, we will outlast atheist Zionists.
ReplyDeleteYou need a therapist and a reality check
DeleteI'm sure the meeting with the Israeli ambassador will really move the needle..... Mission accomplished
ReplyDeleteIts not about moving the needle. Its about letting the Israeli government know that the American Charedim are with the Israeli Charedim.
DeleteWouldn't that be an important piece of information for the Israeli government to know when the Israeli Charedim start shutting down the airport and this becomes international news?
You mean like the bochurim blocking the roads accomplished?
DeleteI'm sure that your triumphant, boastful, and intelligent comment will really move the needle...... mission accomplished
DeleteYou can bet your life and your share in the world to come that the above-mentioned Roshei Yeshiva are on the winning team. Always pick the team which you know will most certainly win. G-d, His Torah and His eternal promise to the Avos will definitely win. We're on the winning team.
How does anyone know if they are on the winning team? When it came to the WZO, Rabbi Brudny clearly did not think so about the others.
DeleteAnd it was quite clear that he was right.
Aguda is part of Netanyahu coalition is it really a chidush they would be the American born shliach of the Zionists in Washington DC, he decides nothing! hes at best a shliach and plus the Likud says its the courts not us but refuse to pass legislation to protect the Torah learners from the Zionists.
ReplyDeleteLikud is a bunch of confused caring mostly ignorant jews
DeleteDr. Leitner is a Modern Orthodox Talmud Chacham. He has served in the IDF. He lost a son fighting in Gaza. He isn't going to be convinced unless you show him halachic sources which justify anyone who happens to be enrolled in Yeshiva to shirk his responsibility to protect the country.
ReplyDeleteAs is obvious to all, but admitted by few, we don't have any sources to justify our position.
Got it, a person who is primarily modern and then he is orthodox,has his entire way of life justified. Nu, nu.
DeleteWherever and however he chooses his lot, that is his business. The Roshei Yeshiva are on the winning team. We're on the winning team.
You've made it clear which team you're on.
We have no responsibility to protect a country that tries at every possible juncture to destroy our core values. We have no responsibility to give up our yahaydus for anyone.
DeleteYou denying that that is the reality of the facts is not justified, and you know that but refused to admit it.
He's a talmid chacham, he knows all the marei mekomot, and he's been through the sugyot,
DeleteHe knows that American charedim are not necessarily behind the the Israeli charedim. Maybe (some of) the American RYs, but not the hamon am.
R M Meiselman ( formerly modern orthdox himself) put it sharply: Anybody who adheres to the claims that the fighting in Gaza is a Milchemes Mitzvah hasn't got a clue as to the definition of that term
DeleteSources?
DeleteOnly if you predetermined that every Jewish (male) must defend this entity even in suboptimal immoral environment,just because of their skewed references
Sympathy aside,we personally widh to start a semi-jewish seashore beach country in the Carribean.There will be lots of Israeli culture there.Even funding for religious services.
If any problems happen with neighboring islands, how are you going to outrageously avoid enrolling in our defense corp.? Especially when/if there are casualties?
Rav Meiselman is discredited by his family.
DeleteHis (great)uncle who was another gadol would say opposite. In the 1940s he would have been considered an Etzelnik (probably was).
As for a Caribbean island, hurricanes, expensive, would attract undesirable dressing, and populated by undesirable residents.
@1137 Rabbi Meiselman is invited to write a teshuva explaining his position.
Delete@1153 Anyone living in that Island should certainly defend the Jews living there. Anyone else, even foreigners, should also defend them unless it is determined that those living in that Island are m'abed atzmam lidaas.
Leiter 100% appreciates and respects chareidim his brother is chareidi and his uncle is Rav chaim Mintz Mashgiach of staten island. Unfortunately, he has little influence in Israel.
Delete6:35
DeleteWho discredited him? Name the individual.
ahh,is it likely the other way around?
re:Carribean
That's an attempt at disagreeing,or are you bringing further common proof?

DeleteWhat if he turns down condescendingly your invitation?Any undergrad could also type what they suits them.
Re:11:53
& What if they were there first,before the scheme was concocted?
What if they had a prior claim to that island, before the adventurers came like a protection racket to protect them?
What if they suspect the new bosses & their corporate cronies are-partly at least-culpable for the continuing bad situation,but won't brook anybody else to run the island differently?
Discredited,eh? Fine ad hominem
DeleteWhich safe space yellow snowflake posted your trigger warning
How funny."discredited" Tell us who is your family member who is capable & entitled to under the table "discredit"him?
DeleteIs it something like his female weirdo relative active in Democrat Pennsylvania politics?Maybe even a liberal Rabbi of your choosing?
Rav Haym for starters. his sisters.
DeletePlus, who sends their children to his yeshiva? No MO no DL no RZ.
2. What's so weirdo about his cousin? She chose one aspect of her calling, while the brother chose another aspect.
BTW, the brother is Rav of the oldest shul in USA.
If you really want the true reason for why the Charedim will never join the IDF (and you have the ability to be intellectually honest), watch the video at www.vayakhel.com.

DeleteElaborate for the public.Good.
As in old bachelor Doctor Haym.

ReplyDeleteLBA playoffs tonight come get ready for the high holidays while fressing hot dogs with mixed crowds as the nashim cheer on their husband's rounding the bases
ReplyDeleteHey, at least these husbands have wives cheering them on
DeleteI really really don't believe that every time you leave a zinger (or stinger) comment here, your wife is cheering you on
Prancing together in public.

Why would Agudah protest against state of Israel while THEY ARE PART OF STATE OF ISRAEL??!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Great Wise ones,please advise some Kosher outlets where Children can be children or maybe put some effort to make this LBA work for all in lieu of constant Mussar,
ReplyDeletea)Change the whole atmosphere
Deleteb)Move out of the center of the community.Those who need badly enough will go further to get it .Like a Tag office

DeleteWhat's worse LBA or those that have their older kids going down the streets on Shabbos, and/or play basketball on Shabbos on their driveway courts???
ReplyDeleteHow is being worse make that better? This is a stupid argument that is used for so many initiatives that erode our yiddishkeit. But Lakewood today does not know what authentic yiddishkeit is. The new yardstick is "but it's not a befurash aveira in shulchan aruch". Daas torah is only good when it agrees with me.
DeleteHefkervelt kannoim have their own new yardstick too, a befeirushe Ramo about goyim who who want to attack yidden even על עסקי תבן וקש is thrown out the window because Rav Meiselman doesn't like the IDF? What's the yardstick for daas Torah these days?
DeleteThere was a certain development that when it opened it took down the basketball court that was up. They were concerned for who knows. That development has unfortunaltey a lot of issues going on now... Let the kids develope healthy and ahve an outlet. They dont need to be perfect. Dont force yiddishkeit on them make it enjoyable

DeleteLet high school kids have normal English for 3 hours and they won't need this LBA trash
ReplyDeleteWell put.ditto.
DeleteI just saw aletter from a mosed about the seforim requirements and then after was all rules no leaving the premises no electronics no no no... I dont remember any of this when I was in mesivta. I hardly saw any words of chizuk and warmth for the boys. There isnt any english as it would be very difficult for any yungertman to open a mesivta if they needed to also taek care and pay the english teachers etc. If you look in monsey or passaic where there is english for mesivta the boys are healtier and wwll balanced. I actually feel bad for the average mesivta boy who has to 'learn' all day and no english brreak. Yes there ar ealeph bochurim who can learn all day but the average bachur cant do it
