This Man Thinks He Speaks For You



From Here

The kid on the left. With the perfect peyos.

Here's a quote from VIN:

"US Senator Joe Biden who is the Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate recently met privately with Ezra Friedlander and Simcha Eichenstein of The Friedlander Group, to discuss how the Jewish community feels about the Obama--Biden ticket and how they can reach out to the Orthodox Jewish electorate in key swing states including Florida."

Ok, let me get this straight. A couple of guys with keys and cellphones start a PR firm or something to that effect and they now speak for me?! For tens of thousands of other people who never heard of them before? Did something happen while I was away that allowed this to happen? Did all the Rabbonim and elected officials ride off into the sunset and leave the community to these guys? Wait, that gives me an idea! maybe I'll start a "PR Firm" and call myself an activist. Seriously though, I thought Crown Heights had it bad with all its bickering and such, but this takes the cake. If you grew up in New York you know there are faces that you recognize as machers. Many are stam do-nothings, and many - often affiliated with organization that do lots of good - are people that are connected to the community and its leaders - if there are leaders. But this?

there are always going to be 'askonim' machers , hockers, shvitzers and bozos trying to get their egos in the lime light. politicians would barely look their way if they did not need something from these guys. if a politician thought he could get more exposure from the tzig blog he would be kissing your hand as well

fargin means to let the rich man have his car and house in the mountains. This is something totally different. I fargin these people whatever pleasure they get from sucking up to politicians, just don't claim to speak for me.

Hey there!
Who appointed your 'self appointed Nosi Hadeyr'?
Did you ask the other Jews all of whom have the right to vote for Nosi Hadeyr if they agree? Are they maskim for a Nosi Hadeyr who is no longer here?

Why can't Friedlander do what you Lubab do??
At least he has parnoseh from it, you Lubab only have bushes oon cherpahs.

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

I see the PR man has a PR man working the blogs. Very nice.

So go and do the same. Its better than counting beans.

And donot you already say your blog speaks for all...

Nasi Hador isn't something you vote for. Unlike, say, presidential candidates.

The Rebbe's nesius has zilch to do with the levush which we got accustomed to interacting with.

Now whether you accept the melech as your personal manhig is another inyan which likely won't be resolved until moshiach himself comes, whoever that may be.

Why are you personally attacking a person?
Would you like that your name and pic be featured with a nasty personal attack?
Quite yucky in my opinion, not exactly erev rosh hashana type of behaviour.
But I'm sure you said 'yechi hamelech' with lots of kavona at shul today, you also said your 'yud bais pesuqim' your daily tehilim and the incessant Lubavitcher kadeishim.
So you are good
These guys from Boro Park are bad.
Oh, I'm pretty sure you did not use Satmar hashgocho for anything.
Another feather in your crushed Lubab hat.
It's all good
The Rebbe loves you!

If I wrote about his personal indiscretions that would be attacking. If I said that I thought that these two are people who for lack of being able to get a real job went into the "PR" business, that would be attacking. What I wrote is not attacking.

I did not say Yechi today after or before davening.

I did not say the 12 pesukim.

I am not good.

These guys are not "bad," just childish, maybe too self-confident.

Is Tehillim a bad thing now? was there a letter from the Moetzes in that regard that I missed?

I have both parents, b"h. I don't say kaddish.

I bought Kiryas Joel chicken wings this Sunday, does that count?

My hat has no feathers, not is it crushed. It looks like a perfect yeshivishe hat, thanks you very much.

All is good.

The Rebbe loves you too. And you should love him back.

Lubabs can be very nasty if someone tries to steal their limelight.
For the record Ezra Friedlander is a great guy and has been involved with political activity for many years.
We don't need to burn bridges with anybody, especially in New York City which is dominated by Democrats.
Obama could very well be the next real Nosi Hador/America.If he is the Tzig will have egg all over his face and Freidlander the ability to help yidden and make parnoseh.
Of course this simple equation is way above the abilities of the blogfresser

Anonymous said...

Friedlander is quite an operator. Clever guy,he also is Zev Brenner's producer on the radio,so he gets to use the Jewish radio airwaves to promote his clients and ambitions behind the scenes,that is when he is not calling in himself,as he has been known to do at times as well.
What do you want him to do instead? Open a Liska shtiebel in Monsey ? Start Opening Liska houses on college campuses?
But your basic point is well taken.
What do you want from him, he just had an event in DC where he honored Ryan Karben. Ezra is very good at chanfening people, a real operator indeed. You think it's easy to be a Rebbishe kind?
And he just had another event, chanfening the Lub. guy in DC, see http://www.5tjt.com/news/read.asp?Id=3142
See,he knows how to chanfeh Lubavitch too, he's an emeseh Ungarishe Rebbishe kind.

'The Rebbe loves you too. And you should love him back.'

Sounds a lot like "J.Pandreh loves you"

Can't Lubab be original at least??
Even second comings they had to copy from "J.Pandreh&co"

Freidlander the ability to help yidden and make parnoseh.

How so?

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

I guess when the Baal Shem Tov said that G-d Loves you like an only son he also took it from the Pandreh Company?

And when the Torah says "Love your fellow Jew" they also took that "love" nonsense from there?

Anonymous said...

If Obama wins.Friedlander gets p.r accounts and even better connections with politicians.
Btw, the idiot who claimed he produces Zev Brenners show does not know anything.
Friedlander is a Liska eynikel, but has no rebbishe kind shtick besides being a very nice guy.
Now Lubab go crawl back into your stinky holes in Crown Heights

But the Rebbe is deceased.

Right. Suuuure. Yankel Moshe with 12 kids will surely benefit from old Ezra having "connections with politicians." And I have some very secure Lehman Brothers shares for sale. A bargain at 50 bucks a share.

And Obama gives a flying hoot about men with funny hats and white stockings. He loves us!

Anonymous said...

When Lubab say "The Rebbe loves you"
present tense, it's another way of them trying to tell you that Hashem has "major competition" Hashem loves?So does The Rebbe!
But even this is sooo unoriginal!
J.Pandreh already "patented" the Godhead and Trinity of God the father and God the son and holy spirit (hey Lubabs what is that????)

Don't worry
Be happy
The Rebbe loves you

Oylum goylum,lots of people dunno the heimishe and frum communities,it's like a foreign culture to them,so anyone can set themselves up as experts on it, and that is what Ezra does.
Re Obama, he sent a letter asking that the debate be rebroadcast tom. night after Shabbos, so Ezra cud watch it then! Wow.

Do you feel more prepared for RH now that you've gotten in your daily dose of Lubavitch hating?

We say tehillim daily and then there are those that can't go a day without a remark about "dead rebbe worship" (ch'v ch'v)

Where is the real kelipah here?

From one Anon to another.
Anon 1:48,
So Lubabs don't actually worship the Rebbe???
That should be breaking news!
You've managed to fool everyone!!!
(Especially with those full size portraits of the Rebbe that you like to 'innocently' hang in all kinds of places that other Lubab 'happen' to be davening around.
Oh of course the pic is usually not right next to the oron kodesh, but 'inoocently' on the back wall or side wall, but it's getting there.
Hey,Rome wasn't built in one day and J.Pandrehs meshigassen took 300 years till they decided to have Shabbos on sunday!
But we are sure getting closer and closer to actual,full fledged Rebbe worship!
Sorry, somebody just came in with BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!
Some Lubavitchers have actually started saying that the Rebbe is the creator of the world!!!

And worst for him...
*Caused a Group like Lubavitch, who have done many good deeds to seem like a hateful,messianic bunch of bozos
*Caused his rebbe the ultimate shame of a stinky goat like himself calling himself a follower.

Skunk? maybe.

Fat? not really. a bit overweight.

You wouldn't happen to be Mr. Friedlander himself, would you? I'm sorry if I offended you, but you see, you offend me by claiming to be smarter than me and claiming to know how to make me vote for the Obama/Biden team. I resent that.

Hey, there, btw.
Another skunky thing you've done is accused me of being Friedlander or his p.r guy.In actuality I met him about ten years ago and have never met or spoken to him since.I remember him as being a decent fellow.What you are unable to 'chap' is that someone should be angered by an unprovoked attack on a person they basically don't know and still feel the terrible 'avlah' of it!
You see that's basic mentlichkait.

What I see is that Biden had reached out to the Friedlander group for CONSULTATION.He wants to understand what the Orthodox thinks about his ticket.
That is what Freidlander does for a living!!!
Is he not allowed to consultpoliticians just because a grubbeh yung like yourself does not like it?
Where do you see him talking for anybody?

Now to what you implied about him: That he was an empty shvitzer, macher
The reality is that he is not a johny-come-lately.He has worked with politicians and the media for many years

I cant believe I am reading these posts from Erev Rosh Hashanah.

Hashem doesnt judge us for the posts we put up on the internet?

So All the Anonymous people think they are so sneaky by postings this disgust thinking no one will know.

Well HASHEM KNOWS!!!!

I pray for all our souls.

This is a reason why the story goes:

"All the kings of the nations are in the court room on Rosh Hashanah waiting to be judged and Moshiach comes in and asks if he came come down to Earth to redeem us. The Judge says no and Moshiach is laughed, mocked, and spat at right out of the court room in Embarrassment.

You embarrass Moshaich, Hashem, and us as Jews everytime you post your anonymous hate and everytime someone reads this.

And the owner of the blog. You are guilty as well.

Thats why most people who post are "anonymous" so give the guy a break.He means well.

My younger brother attends a Litvish yeshiva. The bochurim greatly admire their rebbeim. Many have photos of rebbeim in their dorm rooms. This surely cannot have escaped the attention of others, but I assume that the Yeshivish are not so popular a target as the Chabadniks.
