Didn’t R’ Aharon Feldman say something about boycotting Mishpacha magazine when he spoke in BMG a few months ago? Not sure why we’re advertising for them here. . .
ReplyDeleteMishpacha said something about boycotting Baltimore too.
DeleteThey will have a hundred thousand the same way there were twenty thousand by the machaa outside beis Aharon. Most litvish gedolim are more moderate which is why few from Lakewood will shlep to manhattan to attend.
ReplyDeleteThe moderate ones are the Satmars.
DeleteThose that really don't want Yeshiva bochurim in the army will be keeping far away from empty demos.
@eli I think you’ll be right about the numbers but that has nothing to do with “moderate gedolim” who can you even be referring to? It’s the das bala batim that will deter oilam from going.
DeleteThe Lakewood RYs flew to NYC last time.
Deleteglad the Litvaks, Chasidim even those who dont get along are putting all aside to fight the Zionists shmad, the Zionists ovdey avoda zara and the Zionists in general. this yaharog val yavor. we cannot give the Tziyonim 1 cenemeter
ReplyDeleteAny male holocaust survivors still mentally sharp alive in Lakewood? I’d love to meet one and hear their experiences.
ReplyDeleteMy mother moved to courtyard a short time ago. A "graduate" of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsin, and kafrisin. (Yes, Yeshiva education system doesn't teach what Kafrisin means.)
DeleteFight the Zionist shmad by voting for a frum party in Israel, helping support mosdos of Torah in Eretz Yisroel, and acting in a way that inspires those who are not religious to wish to explore Torah and change their lives.
ReplyDeleteDemonstrating in Manhattan is just demonstrating in Manhattan. Won't do anything for anyone and won't hurt the zionist shmad in any way. If you have nothing better to do, go to Manhattan.
10:49 I’m assuming you’re a massive Talmud chacham and a baki in this inyan that you know better than reb Moshe / the satmar rebbe etc… who have protested in the past
ReplyDeleteThe world expects to see now among jews gratitude and unity towards Israel, not protest, division and I-am-holier-than-you-attitude.
ReplyDeleteUgh and Feh. This is NOT what Hashem wants now.
just some more good ole chareidi exceptionalism . .
DeleteHa! If you are from those that Hashem speaks to, see a shrink.
DeleteHuh? Total nonsense as Reb Elchonon explains hashem wants us to stand up for the Torah not abandon it
DeletePlease don't disturb those around you by shemoneh esray and keryias hatorah by davening the quiet part out loud and reading along aloud during layning
ReplyDeleteI find interesting. The zionist frees 2000 murderers but retain prisoned Torah learners
ReplyDeleteReligious zionists & the Machine Leumi protested back in January against the deal freeing 1000 Palestinians for 33 hostages.
DeleteBut somehow this deal now is applauded with such chanifa
