I felt Golus



It's not easy feeling Golus in America. I mean New York. The Tri-state area. Monsey Ir HaTorah. You look around and you say such a breitkeit, even in today's tough economic times. Masses of frum Jews going about their business BeKomah Zekufah, not worried about the gentiles. School boards stacked with Jews. Politicians eating out of the palms of our hands. Streets closed because of Hachnosas Sefer Torah, parade, Lag BaOmer bonfire or bagleiten a visiting Gutter Yid. Daily garbage pickup in the weeks before Pesach. You get the picture. Things have changed drastically since the 60's. Speech is watched carefully when it comes to making generalizations about ethnic and Religious groups. Only in radical underground publications will you hear anything about "Jews" controlling etc. So we sit here and we think we manage to re-educate the masses about Jews, despite thousands of years of education, being spoon-fed anti-Semitism with breakfast in many cases.



For some reason the following incident sticks in my mind, maybe because the statement was made by a fellow Yid, a Rosh Yeshivah or Kolel, and a grandson of a good Jew. They said then that Rav Lazer Ginzberg, Mirrer Rosh Kolel in Brooklyn and grandson of Reb Chatzkel Levenshteyn said during the CH riots that the happenings there were a "reminder to the Lubavitchers that we're still in Golus." "They're starting to talk about Moshiach, Hineh Hineh Moshiach Bo, G-d showed them he's in charge!" This typical Litwaukee speak is meant to show the world that G-d is an angry old man who like to show his disobedient kids that he's still in charge. It somehow connects them to the fire and brimstone-throwing preachers' speeches of generations ago by talking like that, I guess. I've heard that kind of talk quite often, especially when reprimanding Lubavitch for saying Ad Mosai etc. "Who are we to tell G-d what and when to do things?!" (That is until they need a yeshuah or refuah, then any talk is OK.)




What happened to me on Friday was somewhat of a different Golus experience. It was the kind of experience that reminded me that it's time to ask for Moshiach again, but not because graffiti was scrawled on my shul or anything like that. It was the "cat got my tongue" kind of thing. Here I was, being talked down to in the supermarket in the worst way by Haitian trash with six inch nails and I could say nothing. Technically I could, but the eternal Jew in me would not allow it. I guess I couldn't stand there and yell obscenities at the woman; and making a whole tumult was also out of the question. So I was left just trying to defend myself instead, with her giving me the hand, saying "uh-uh, don't talk to me." Here's this woman, who only one generation ago was eating papaya three times a day, who's hairdo and manicure costs more than her entire wardrobe accusing me and yakking at me in a public place, and I CAN DO JUST ABOUT NOTHING IN RETURN. היש גלות
גדולה מזו????



מעשה שהי' כך הי-ה: I needed to do some last minute shopping before Shabbos Kodesh. (I'll try not to bore you with the details.) I loaded the cart and was checking out - not before having said a few bucks by using my Pathmark card - when Mrs. Tzig calls. She needs mushrooms, she says. Always the willing and able husband, I walk to the car, load the bags with the original purchases, and went back for the mushrooms. Once there, a pineapple was added to the purchase, not that it has any relevance to the story. I approached the checkout counters and chose one that had only one customer ahead of me. Soon after that several people came in to that aisle behind me. One of them - unbeknown to me - was a testy Haitian of the female variety who I guess was having a bad hair day or something, because she was tired of holding a few cups of yogurt in her hands and I was too far back from the customer ahead of me for her to put her things down on the whatchamacallit. So, I'm standing there patiently waiting for the guy ahead of me to finish checking out when I hear "Mister!" "MISTER!" behind me, in a very loud voice. Not thinking that I'd be referred to as such, and maybe daydreaming a bit, I ignored the call, not thinking it was me they were talking to.



Then I feel a jab in my back. The ----- had poked me. I turn around to see what that was and she yells at me to move ahead so she can put her yogurts down on the table. Then she tells the person she's talking to on the cellphone "then they wonder why nobody wants to see them around anymore!" I try nicely to tell her "you think I was ignoring you? I didn't hear you!" so she tells her phone buddy: "He says he was ignoring me!!!" By then I realized that there was nobody to talk to. I was part of the white world she so hates and the Jewish one she can't stand. She wishes we'd all be shipped off in boxcars somewhere far away. I realize some of you may think that in the greater scheme of things this incident means nothing, but it was Golus for me. I hadn't had many such run-ins, it was usually not face to face, just a passing car or something like that. But to be tongue-tied, to be so utterly helpless in a town chock full of Heimishes, is nothing short of a G-d imposed Golus. May we have no more such experiences.

  2. When I stare into the faces of those yidden in the photos, I am gripped with a strong emotions; fear, pahchahd, but also with a sense of nostalgia. I can't explain it; there is a vortex pulling my kishkes out.
    Think about it. Those yidden in the photos would never envision a day where we would be able to read such an article. Where the possiblity exists that a person can forget about the Gulos for even one moment.

  14. From todays Jerusalem Post
    Part 1





    Boaz and I are weekly participants in an oh-so-Tel-Avivi ritual - Friday afternoon humous. After spending the morning rushing around to run the errands that have been neglected throughout the week, we kick off Shabbat by taking a seat at our favorite humous joint - a tiny, always packed place in the city center.

    The crowd is part of the pleasure, of course. That we have to wait for a table and then bump elbows as we eat adds to the charm. But one recent Friday, I found myself less than charmed by my neighbors - Jews for Jesus.

    There they were. Flanked in blue shirts that were written in Hebrew: Jesus = salvation. I first noticed them when the waiter gestured to the empty table waiting for us. Unflappable Boaz sat down on the bench without hesitation. I slid in next to him with a grumble.

    "What's wrong?" Boaz asked me, in Hebrew.

    "Look," I said, pointing.

    "Don't point," he hissed.



    "I don't care if they see me. They don't belong here."

    I didn't need a mirror to know that my face was flushed. I could feel the heat in my chest, my throat, my cheeks - a suppressed shout rising up from my lungs.

    "What's the big deal? At least they're not Arab," Boaz said.

    I was already too upset to launch into my usual "you're a racist" tirade.

    "I would much, much rather sit next to Christian - or Muslim - Arabs than Jews for Jesus," I said. "At least the Arabs know better than to try to get me to convert."

    "Yeah, but the Jews for Jesus don't blow themselves up," Boaz said.

    "They might as well. We'd be better off without them."

    I was shocked by my own words. Who is this vitriolic person? After all, aren't I Little Miss Left Wing? Little Miss Coexistence? Little Miss Let's-Give-the-Filipinos-Citizenship? Little Miss We-Don't-Need-a-Jewish-Majority-to-Survive?

    But you've got to draw the line somewhere. And I draw mine at Jews for Jesus.

  16. Hirshel,
    I feel for you.It's an unpleasant experience to be accused of doing something wrong when you weren't.
    I'm not quite sure if this was antisemitism per Se or just a woman having a bad day.
    Anyway,
    That being said, why did you have to take a vicious stab at a choshuveh yid, melumed beyisurim?
    Isn't that what you are accusing this lady of:Just starting up with you because you are Jewish, and you bringing this story up because it seems you dislike menagdim very much??
    I'm disappointed.I expect a post about anti-semitism not to include another frum yid.

  19. 1. The yeshiva world's G-D in Lithuania was not fire and brimestone , in those days they worshipped the same G-D as Lubavitch. I don't know if either group changed.
    2. No doubt we are in golus and I won't discuss my ideas why we are stil here.All I will say is thaT slogans, Madison Ave type ads and the like are not the solution.
    But one of our problems is that we chose to live with ethnic groups who are hardly civilized. Perhaps we should live with Mormons and Wasps.Otherwise we need to learn how to tolerate our golus.
    But my consumer weekend was just the opposite. I needed a new watch band for my cheap watch, I went to 181st St in WH to a jewelry store. the manager was what we would call white trash(Here I imply no value judgement ). I purchased the band he put it on and I gave him $20 for the $8 price. he had no change , so I said I will leave the watch and be back with change in 5 minutes. I think he looked at me (beard ,cap) and said take the watch and come back later with the cash.
    The point is that some people are nice others are not. We Jews as individuals are treated as we as a group treat others.
    The great gaon Rav Yakov Weinberg of Berlin wrote to his friend Dr. Shmuel Atlas in NY after the Holocaust that we Jews hate the Goyim probably even more than they hate us. And there is much truth to Rav Weinberg's statement.
    Frankly I see with what bittul many of my Orthodox and MO friends and neighbors march around in the local supermarket, if I were a Arel, I too would sort of have a problem with their feelings of entitlement because they are from Teaneck and the locals from santo Domingo.

    False statement, but fodder for the maskilim and apikorsim who loved R'Weinberg.

    He did say, that unscroulous business pratices, fuled by hatred fo them, contributed to the Churban.
    Personally, that was an idiotic and naive statement. All the linkes that raise hell about the Satmar Rav's views, 'how could he talk like that, disrespectful, who does he think he is' drink up R' Weinberg's statemetns.

  37. Tzig,
    Did you know you are "funny"?
    C'mon, you heard some hearsay about R'Ginsberg.You can't back it up even,can you.Still you say that he said it while a tragedy "is happening".Oh, yeah?Yankel Rosenbaum was killed at the beginning of the riots at that time R'Ginsberg would not have even known about it.
    What probably happened, if your quote is true, and it may be, was that in the AFTERMATH of the riots Rabbi Ginsberg sought some kind of divine message.Why did it happen in Crown Heights and not in another Jewish neighborhood.

    But, if you were at all honest, you never had any respect for him to begin with.Lubavitchers do not generally have a lot of respect for talmidei chachomim to begin with

    ReplyDelete
  38. No, you are that guy when you insisted he should have waited a week. That was after the fact. I said that while the child is sick, and they are working on a refuah,etc

    If you think G-d is sending a message and people aren't getting it, you should stay silent, right?

  43. So now you added to the argument that you are upset that he knows why. Who is he to think that, right?

    You are helping them by delivering the message. If you see him drowning, you shouldn't tell him where the lifeboat is, because he didn't notice it himslef, right? Telling him G-d's message is not called 'helping'? If the Rebbe knew why something was happening and the person himself didn't realize, he should remain silent and let the person suffer more, right?

    Anyways, he was talking to his guys, not to 570, so your analogy to the shiva house is way off, right?

    That guy is lower than low.Many of the comments on the blog are his own, using fake names implying terrible things on others.He moderates every single thing.He is an A1 menuvel.
    I don't know Baltimore, what I do know is that it's a very large community."Things" happen everywhere .I don't think it's any better or any worse than any other place.Yeah, there are not to many daily trips to the mikveh before davening, and as anybody knows, the "mik" is like a candy store for perverts, so yeah, maybe Baltimore is better than the more chasidic places.

    Its actualy called talking about s'char ve'onesh.
    You in your Blog filled, pinapple in hand at the 24/7 supermarket, dreaming your important dreams, 'knows all about what golus' is, lubavitcher mind thinks that G-D is like a nice old Granpa who who gives candies to the kids that sit there spitting and slapping their poor old grandfathers face over and over and over again.

  70. I took the Tzigs words to heart, realizing that, yeah, it is true, Snags are so "unholy", "Peylishe chasidim" are pathetic drones who don't see the "light" the light of Lubavitch inc.
    So........I went to check out Crownheights.info, the official,unofficial website of Crown Heights Lubavitch inc.
    What do you know?!!
    There is a whole editorial about the politics in CH and the"tznius" issue where the writer bemoans the state of tznius in Chabad .
    Then there is a whole political/rabbinical fight over elections, which include fistfights, messiras etc...
    I guess I realize why the Tzig is so bothered by a beatiful community like New Square, all under the authority of the Rebbe in harmony, where tznius is of the old fashioned kind.It bothers him, he wants tznius to be like in Crown Heights.He wants political war.He wants fistfights.
    He needs to stop being such a political hack, and open his eyes and see the mess in his community.Before he talks garbage on other wonderful places.
    I'm not going to hold my breath.
    Everything is the problem.Besides Lubavitch inc. that is
    The are the "solution".Yeah.
    And the Yankees are the best team.And koolaid is great!

    I guess New Square child molestation is fine by you even if the Rebbes personal aide is involved. Or its fine with you when a girl fell in love with a Monsey Goy, since she moved etc...
    I guess there is no machlokes in Square since all the Taubers were forced to leave by the Kieverer long boots,and Mermelstien has been forced to divorce since he follows Breslov.Its not on the web but not everybody will buy the your holy square crap

  74. HT did you actualy read the post of Anon May 27, 2009 1:53:00 PM before you let it fly???

    As low as I have always thought you have been. I never dreamt that you would be that low. You never fail to suprise us by you lowkite. Maybe one day we'll find out that you are a convict in prison.

    Knowing you, after people point out your obvious negligence by letting some creeps disgusting LH fly on your blog, now you will NEVER take it down.
    You always know how to 'Tu em up'.
    Enjoy hell.

    you have ZERO credibility with me, because you only worry about your circles. The same thing, had it been said about a Lubavitcher, would not not make a difference to you.

  78. "The same thing, had it been said about a Lubavitcher, would not not make a difference to you."

    You are 100% right.
    But then again in your twisted brain there is nothing wrong with posting such stuff.


    Dummie. I have no credibilty, and I only care about my own crcles (ie. everyone besides you), thats why theres nothing wrong with that post, and you wont take it down?

    Keep making a fool out of yourself. Please!!

  79. That post was posted with the intention to shut off a Skverer guy bashing Crown Heights.Nobody will ever beg this people not to brush the all of CH with the same brush,Yes CH has is problems and its not shrugged under the rug and some long Rekel with a tight gartel.

  80. im very dissapointed in u making such a fuss. like a storm in a glass of water. it sounds to me now that ur a very low confident person. that when somebody goes thru a bad day and ur somehow there. u get so offended and blame everybody for it. this is what brought the real antisemitism against us...

  81. good post, and interesting that you juxtaposed the holocaust pictures with your experience in the golus of the tristate area. That woman in the checkout line sounded meanspirited, bigoted, and hateful. She was judging you unfairly, and pinning it on your Jewish heritage. Your response was perfectly normal at the time, but I want to take you to task on your comments about her in this blog post: calling her "haitian trash" comes from the same place of bigotry and racism as we decry in all the antisemites in the world. Jews should not be judged because of our Jewishness, but because of our actions. Likewise, this woman may in fact be "trashy," but not because she is haitian. Be careful my friend not to become the very trash that you despise.
