Jury still out on Yoeli Roth



I very much relate to the very encouraging yet simple message: Lo LeHisya'esh, despite the fact that slogans like that are not mamesh in the Chabad spirit, or so I'm told - but that's beside the point. It seems like he's having an effect on them; I doubt these would be singing "Ich vil zahn an erlicher Yid" out loud was it not for Yoeli. אודה ולא אבוש, I stick to the general consensus when it comes to Shick of Breslov, and the fact that Yoeli's message is so closely tied into Shick is troubling to me. (As a matter of fact, it seems like all Shick has here in NY - other than the 2 guys who distribute his kuntreysim on the streets of Brooklyn - is Yoeli's bachurim!) Well, maybe not troubling, but makes me doubtful as to whether what he's doing is the right thing. Then there's the שמועות that kids he had in his Yeshivah are frei'ing out and that he's having the opposite effect of what he should be having on them. I take that accusation in stride, not knowing the cases and where those kids were up to when he took them in. He seems like a very angry young man at times, and the curled nose you see in the shmuessen videos is proof positive. So if his goal is to be mekarev these bochurim why is getting them to go to Shick so important to him? We wanna know, and until then we will not reach a verdict. There are lots of videos out there, we humbly suggest that you look for them and decide for yourself.

On another note: The guitar. what's with the guitar?! why is that the instrument of choice for all the Kumzitzers and at-risk kids doers?! Every singer worth his salt has decided that he needs to play the guitar, and without it he's incomplete. The Stutchiner Rebbe (Yudkowski) can be seen on the web playing a guitar and singing Carlebach to kids at risk. Is that the only way to reach these kids - or anybody, for that matter? And where is the outrage concerning Shlomo that was around not so long ago? My, how times have changed. Why, only 28 years ago Reb Mendel Wechter was beaten inches from death for learning Chassidus with bochurim. Today Roth is telling them to say mishnayos and become kabtzonim and he very defiantly puts his speeches on the internet for all to see... Have we lost the war aginst those that prey on young, innocent children who know not better than to be taken for a ride by cult leaders who use these people like Kleenex, and throw them in the trashbin once done with them?! O' how we miss the days of old.

It's seems like it's catching on, even among those already out of Yeshivah and not necessarily YR's talmidim...

Is Shick that bad? lately I saw that parts of mainstream Breslov recognize his existence.
His Kuntreisim are not bad it is just repetitious to death

He's not recognized by Breslov at all

In the world of Breslov its philosophy, Shick has a problem by acting as a Admor, Reb Nachman in his sichas despised the "Mefursomim" meaning the Ukrainian Rebbes, here comes a guy claiming to be a Admur, of the Breslover school,but I dont think it was the main pillar of reb Nachmans thinking.

wechter was beaten because he had betrayed a trust that these parents had given him, once he was exposed no one gave him their son to.... even today in kfar malachi

Der Ruv said...

I'm very surprised...

Just because Shlomo Carlebach (who engaged in some questionable behaviors) used a guitar does not mean there is anything wrong with it.

A guitar is a musical instrument, no better or worse than the cherished violin. It is very portable, and (relatively) easy to play, making it a choice instrument.

What would you suggest, that they schlep around a piano?

Dovid Hamelech composed many songs on a "10 string harp," that chances are were more similar to the guitar than today's harps.

Der Ruv said...

"Reb Mendel Wechter was beaten inches from death for learning Chassidus with bochurim."

A more honest statement would be: "Reb Mendel Wechter was beaten inches from death for learning Lubavitcher Chassidus with bochurim who's parents, Rabbonim, and derech in yiddishkeit were staunchly opposed to the derech he was teaching them."

"was chana Gurari beaten in Harlem?"

Der Ruv said...

Seriously, does anyone honestly believe that, aside from the mental case who beat Rebbitzen Gurary, anyone else in Lubavitch was happy about it?

Just from a public relations standpoint it would clearly be a disaster. People would, of course, side with the elderly woman who was severely beaten, and it would be to the detriment of the case, as well.

And to those who keep claiming that the Lubavitcher Rebbe was pleased -- the Lubavitcher Rebbe's wife was close with Rebbitzen Gurary, her only remaining sibling; do you really think the Rebbe would be happy with something that would severely upset his wife, and could have killed her sister?

Anyone intelligent and honest would clearly understand that it was the work of one crazy lunatic and nothing more.

Anonymous said...

I beg you to post this without sensoring it....

I know you probably won't post this R' Hershel but I would love to hear an honest respnse .....it may be one sided but it puts a different light on the 'They killed him because he was saving bochrim from Gehenom....'

The problem with R' Mendel's story is twofold

1) He knew he was doing something wrong, otherwise why hide it.

It wasn't R Yoel Kahn, they used a 'local boy' that everyone respected , who everyone thought was a true and proven Satmarer.

The problem was he was being instructed by the Rebbe personally who knowingly made him a human korban knowing what Williamsburgers were capable of after the many incidents with Mitzvah Tanks etc....

He was taking impressionable bochrim who did not come to him to seek the chassidus he was selling....they came to learn in a good yeshivahm, not because they were unhappy with the haskafa in Satmar, Shopron, Tzeilem, Pupa or elsewhere

Had he told the bochrim (even if not the parents) I am going to prove to you why Satmar is wrong and Chabad is right from the begining he would not have had one bochur with him...

Everything was done on the Rebbe's instruction, knowing the danger he was putting Reb Mendel in, knowing Reb Mendel would do whatever he asked.

2) Reb Mendel himself did not understand that he was being used as a tool of revenge against the Satmarers for refusing to let Chabad get a foothold in Williamsburg. He was a pawn in the game of politics rather than a chassishe revolutionary saving neshomes...

When in Australia he said openly he never intended on becomeing a Lubavitcher, just to learn the chassidus, but after what he did no one else would let him in...

The bottom line is that Williamsburg did not want their kids to turn into the type of people who most commonly live in Chabad communities including Crown Heights today.....

Good chabad yungerleit don't stay on the path unless on Shliches, whoch like Kiruv is not for everyone....

Anonymous said...

I think the Rebbe was happy that she was taught a lesson' but not with the extent....

If the Rebbe believed in playing fair, he would have cordial relations with most Chagas Rebbes today outside the "satmar / Hungarian" extremists that most other Rebbes fear (politically) but don't hold of hashkafically.

Der Ruv said...

You do realize that "Chagas" is a fictional term used only by Lubavitchers, right?

Which shows you to be a disgruntled Lubavitcher, because no one outside of Lubavitch uses that term.

Anonymous said...

Anon,
Its a nice long derasha, the fact is simple, Reb Mendel Vechter was and is a Yeria Shomaim Merabim, he felt it is the Derech Hashem that has to be taught to his talmidim, according to toras hashem a rebbe owns the talmidim not the parents,(this is the halacha love it or leave it)Koved has to be given to the Rebbe before parents, his lost items are before the parents, (just take a Yoreh Deah in your hands)Torah is not democratic. So he did the right thing in any shape or form. As a satmarer chosid you have the right or obligation to go a bies din and declare his philosophy Heresy and he gets a din Masit Umaideach, But I believe you need a Sanhedrin for that,But the holy Reb Mendel did the right thing that A Yerie Shomaim was supposed to do

Of course, but no one uses it to refer to a derech in Chassidus other than Lubavitchers; many of whom actually believe that just as they think of their derech as Chabad, the other Chassidim think of their derachim as Chagas.

Included in this, is their mistaken idea that the philosophies of all non-Lubavitch Chassidim (excluding Breslov) are essentially identical.

And mashpiim and other "farbrengeners" (for lack of a better term) expound on these concepts to gullible young Lubavitchers who know nothing about the outside world other than what they are told.

This is, when they aren't busy making fun of the long gone "Kapusters" and how they "walk their dogs.

About the dogs, I kid you not. Reb Berel Lipsker likes to talk about that at farbrengens.

Why does everything you do have to be "in the Chabad spirit"?
Do you have no individuality?
Are you some kind of clone?
Do you think that all the readers of your blog come here for "Chabad spirit"?
My guess is that most people don't give a hoot about "Chabad spirit".
Please don't warn us if something is not in the Chabad spirit

Sruly said...

Mendel Vechter knew he was playing with fire.It was not a sudden thing that he was taken to task.It took a lot of time, till some tzehitzteh people lost patience.
Of course he was not beaten to within a inch of his life, that's just political grandstanding.
Mendel was warned may times to stop or leave.
Nobody would have a problem if he officially joined Lubavitch and opened an official Lubavitch/Chasidishe yeshivah.
Had an underground Breslover penetrated Chabad and brainwahed young kids he would get much worse treatment.The violence between the variousLubavitch denominations puts Satmar to shame, they are just better at p.r

klainer said...

Why was there never one word of apology,regret, or condemnation of the attack on the daughter of the Rayatz Z"L by a Lubavitcher bocher in the confines of 770? Does Lubavitch know what the word "I'm sorry" means? I think it's a Kabbalistic term like Chagas and Kopust. Shlochim are briefed on its use so they'll sound like regular people when they start fundraising.

that guy said...

Really Tzig? A guitar is so difficult to understand?
Allow me to explain…
Large instruments (i.e. piano, drums, etc…) are not kumzits material since they cannot be schlepped around. A guitar on the other hand is easy to shlep.
Playing a brass/wind instrument (clarinet, flute, etc…) would mean playing the lead, and people would notice the second you messed up.
Basic acoustic guitar, on the other hand, is very easy to learn. Anybody who is not tone deaf can figure it out rather quickly and in just a few short weeks they can lead a kumzits. Some of the greatest entertainers who were known for -amongst other things- playing guitar, were actually not all too well versed in playing guitar (i.e. Carlbach, Elvis, etc…) and did not know more than seven or eight basic cords. Additionally, since basic kumzitz guitar entails only playing the cords/harmonies and not the lead, it is ok to mess up here and there since nobody will really catch it as long as you keep strumming away.

Now that I answered your question, please answer mine.
Do you really fail to see the difference between Roth and Vechter? Do you not understand the difference between taking young impressionable children and secretly teaching them things their parents object to (Vechter) and openly making a yeshiva for boys who need chizuk which their parents agree that they attend(Roth)???

Anonymous said...

I can't quote chapter and verse, iber gedeink ich, that right after the Gurary incident, the Rebbe strongly condemned any negative involvement/interaction with the parties involved.

Basically, it seems that the Rebbe didn't imagine he'd have to bavorrehn it beforehand, d'lo b'shuftani askinan.

(Agav, m'zogt that besides the fact az "der bochur" iz a bissel m'shuga heint - he was then too as well. I wasn't in 770 then, but perhaps someone can attest to it here).

To set the record straight.The individual who set upon the Rebbitzin Chana definitely had a screw loose.I personally had some interaction with him when he was the learning rebbi in the bungalow colony where my family was at one particular summer and taught my son.

"Mekusher" to who?Let me tell you,who ever you are,that I was mekusher to the Rebbitzin Chana as well as the Rashag ,the Rebbitzin Musiah and the Ramash,as the Rebbe was then called. During my early childhood days when I and one other, who shall remain anonymous because it really is no ones darn business,would go up to her apartment for milk and cake every Shabbos during krias Hataireh.When I had my tonsels out at the tender age of 4,Rebbitzins Chana and Mussiah personally paid me a visit to bring me a gift on that "auspicious" occasion,which again is really nobody's business.I am only mentioning these two incidents to show that I have no axe to grind against her and remained close to her ad sof yomehoh.
My question is who should apologize for the actions of one deranged individual? Should a letter of apology have been written and signed by all of Lubavitch for something that no one except for one nutcase was responsible for?Should the Rebbe have given credence to this individuals action by coming out with with some official letter of apology? I can affirm without the slightest doubt that to say the Rebbe was extremely upset would be an understatement.
As to the the allegation that the Rebbe "instigated" this whole sorry affair is, as I mentioned, the product of some ones fevered imagination and to use a cliche ridden term does not deserve to be dignified by any sort of response.

Did YTT apologise for the actions of one of it's rabbeim for similar acts against his talmidim? Did Satmer or for that matter any Rebbistve or rosh hayishive or yeshive ever apologize for the acts of wayward individuals against their fellow Yidden?Are you saynig that entire communities should bear the onus of the crimes committed by one of their constituency?What "remorse" must they officially show for the actions of of one or more avles performed by them?

bubbe maises. after losing the case and the appeal, barry decided to sue the Rebbe for instigation. He was broke, the Rashag rewrote his will and left his estate to the Rebbe (about 1 mil). The Rebbe did not want to go to court so they settled that he can have his father's estate. In reality, it didn't cost the Rebbe anything.

In the seforim trial, she gave a deposition claiming her sister said about barry getting some seforim, and the instigation claim was already in the court papers 2 yrs earlier. Her sister separated from her a while after she was attacked, so your history is totally mixed up.

The minor family dispute was turned into a referendum on the entire nesius.This decision was made by lubavitch not by Bere Guraryeh.Those who were around remember that emotions were in a state of extreme agitation.The media was covering this closely and everyone was on edge. That's the context in which the attack on Rebbetzin Guraryeh happened.If you don't believe me ask someone else who was there.In my opinion the powerful lubavitch public relations machine was orchestrating this emotional frenzy. That's why lubavitch needed to apologize.

The attack on Mendel Wechter was not performed by one misgided idiot but was an attack enmasse performed by many, with the explicit encouragement of the Satmar leadership.The only one to apologize was the Tzeilemer Rov ZT"L at that time.

Hey there, Arthur,Anon3!
How do you know that the attack was "encouraged"??
In my book that's a blood libel, nobody "encouraged" and it was not "ennmasse" (SIC)it was done by three or four individuals.
You obviously believe that you can accuse everyone else of" kol maaseh sheloi yeoseh" Satmar, Snags, Bere, anyone....but when the same is thrown back against you you become "oof geblozen oon baleydikt".

The reason the oylem is not so carried away against Roth is because Breslovers are still very much part of the Frimmeh velt.Especially the non Baaley Teshiveh.Some very chosheveh people are part of the normal Breslov.
Unfortunately that can't be said about people becoming Lubavitch.Generally one of the first things they do is cut off their peyos, grow a big chupp and take off the alt modische chasidishe levish.
Once a family member becomes Lubavitch s'iz an anderehvelt.
One guy I knew Z.L. M, who taday is a big mechanech in Lubavitch, could not take off his peyos and levish, but made sure that his kids made modern shidichem

Anon3: You seem to be well connected to Bais Chayenu. To set the record straight could you tell us how the Rebbe's reaction to the "event" was expressed in private.I think alot of people have been confused by the lack of some form of public expression of regret over the incident. As I have already said nothing in this world happens outside of a context-and that is certainly true here as well.

Where did you come up with the numbers "three or four"? Were you there? Do you have some "inside" information that we are not privy to?Please do enlighten us ignorant peons. In any case "three or four" or maybe a little more, certainly outweighs one.Isn't it "common knowledge" that the Satmar leadership was involved in the Vechter story, or at least as much as the Rebbe was allegedly "involved" in the attack on Chana?
Feldman????Are you the son of the Feldman A"H that was Bere's buddy that davvened in the Friediker Rebbe's study on RH and YK back in the day?If I'm not mistaken his son davvened there as a youngster to as did I.If yes iz mir alz farenfered.

To say that the Rebbe was livid about the "event" is an understatement but to be honest, I don't know why he didn't comment on it publicly.

if Lubavich has a shita to do that custom because of the Arizal, they shouldnt have done it because a idiot like you does consider it modern, Like telling the Alter Rebbe not to cut out Borech Hashem Leoilem,Veshomri since it is making davening shorter. Lubavich has no galicianer /poilisher mesorah about levush for men,I am not ready to argue about that tonite,but the fact is they dont have that mesorah, period

Well it seems that this Feldman fellow who attacks me about my alleged hatred of Satmar,snags and above all Bera (Berka)has an axe to grind and is the son of Itzik Feldman A"H who was about the only friend of Bera in Lubavitch.He was a virulent hater of the Rebbe because of this and other issues.Apparently his son has imbibed that hatred into his psyche.Chaval.

please don"t sell the old Bobovers Ahavas Yisroel, he was a big facade.I heard too much from Goldfinger OBM that brought for Bobov millions of dollars,and then thrown to the dogs by the holy Reb Shlomele himself. After he realized that alot of money goes missing by the Rebetzin and her holy Ben Yochid. The guy brought them Katz that was then the only guy that give big chunks of money. He was thrown out of Boobov they ruined his life till he died.
The Lubavicher Rebbe had no intentions to talk about a incident of a lunatic, he did not see a trend of beatings that has to be stopped.You all Chabad bashers can harp till tomorrow on that incident, but these are the facts I was a lot in 770 those days and these are the facts.

Not only the Chanah Gurary beating. The Lubavitcher Rebbe did not apologize or discuss publicly the Gavin Cato death that lead to the CH riots either, because that would be akin to admission of guilt on some part. In a way, the Rebbe was more directly associated with this incident than the Chana Gurary incident, since it was a car from his own entourage that accidentally killed Cato. Though Lubavitch did send a few askonim & Rabbis (including Rabbi Groner who lives down the block from where the death took place), there was no official public apology. Not one word at any fargbrengen, not even a word of chizuk to his own community for all the chaos & physical harm that they were facing... PERHAPS this was related to the legal awareness they received from the Seforim case.

IIRC, the case against the Rebbe was for "inflammatory rhetoric" at farbrengens. The "lebedike bombes" sichos were used to scare people who bought seforim from Barry to return them. (Recordings of these sichos were played to buyers in London & Israel. For the most part it worked. See Bogomilsky's book on "Didan Notzach.")

Right at the beginning of the revelation about the seforim, there were bochurim who went to Montclair to "rattle" Barry, until they received a hora'ah from 770 to stop.

As for Vechter, well whoever remembers those days remembers the pictures of Vechter in the hospital, his legs in casts suspended over his bed. He also had broken ribs. He was thrown out of a speeding van. Yes, this was no minor incident. Fogel-Cohn was all over the place, instigating. He was behind the Piniye Korf beating too. He also would come to Yoel Kahn's Tanya shiur in BP to scare & intimidate those who were going there.

& we can go on & on...

As for this Yoeli Roth guy, well he shmeks of being on an ego trip. Even the camera angle and how he plays for it seems that way. Just my gut feeling....

PS: Where is there video of Rav Yudkovsky of Stetchin with guitar?

"How about a couple of official nshei chabad going to the hospital to be mevaker choleh her?"
she would never let them in to her room she was farbissen to her death,(If she was right leave it for a other day) After the Rebbe heard from A Shaliach of the Munkacher Rebbe that she wants to be buried there,the Rebbe tried to change her mind thru many channels that she should come back and get her plot near her parents. She was stuborn not to talk to them even,
So please get your self a other subject, since you dont get tis people anyway.

BTW, she was not blinded at all.

What you're really saying is that she's not worth having any guilt feelings about-after all she was farbissen,etc
From here it's only a short step to saying that she deserved it. R"L.

But thousand upon thousands came to hear the Choizer of Rebieni Hakodesh Vehather Zechosu Yugen Olieni,bringing the dvar hashem,and he had 2 meetings with all chasidic mashpiem how to teach chassidus and what to teach Chasidus. Maybe he gave everyone money to buy Apartments in Biet Shemesh? Just for the photoup?Why did you not tell me? I could use the funds. You can stay in your Machneh and watch not to be influenced by non of the Mashpiem, because your Machneh walls are coming down.

Despite your brilliant insights many old yishev people do not take money from the medineh and are supported by the mishphachas haTemorim and other kind hearted individuals.Many live in dachkes and continue in the ways of old Yerushalayim.They are the last direct line to the way millions of Jews lived just several generations ago.
I have no knowledge of the court cases mentioned.
By prattling I mean the very coarse and street-wise culture that is part of everyday life
in Israel.It does not include a sense of self -reflection and holiness that would be appropriate for Chasidei HaBaD and other erliche Yidn.
It's not so much the falafel and humus as it is
the certain "arum" that informs the environment in the streets.Ivrit,too, is spoken in a very "proste" fashion.It does not sound like "leshon Hakodesh."
I haven't signed on to the Edah but there are things of great spiritual beauty there.

Disclaimer, in my Torah it is a mitzva to take money from the Medina, as was the view of all the Gedolie Yisroel asher Koree leBaal haTzioni.I realy would love to be in the same Gehinom as the Chebiner Rov then with Nussen Yosef Miezels.

It's not just Habad, but I include the Yeshive world and other Hasidim as well.The Israeli "street" is very aggressive and impatient and Haredim of all stripes are becoming more and morea part of this culture.

Lets not turn this discussion in a Kitrug Fest on the Am Hayoshev Betzion, Eretz Yisroel has tens of thousands yiden that live a very high spiritual life, the we fargrebte Americans can"t relate to.People that are in the know of Jewish History claim that Klal yisroel never had such a big crowd of Benai Aliya, (I am not getting in to the Yeridas Hadoiris belief)that live a holy life like the Shevet Levi of the rambam, I am not in the mood now to argue that it all is because and despite the Memsheles Hakofrim. All the negative stuff you see in the media is a natural phenomenon from such a big crowd, but don't be naive the Parnosie Hakehila of Poland,Russia,Hungary... were more corrupted financially and as bad as Moshe Katzav and no way to get rid of them, or punish them for their sins

This is not a kitrug c'v; I'm just pained by an Israeli culture that is rather embarassing in its crudeness and hard-edgedness. There may be a great number of learners but bnei aliyah?

The minute you get to NYC you felt the rough handling of every schnook with a Kezais badge on his breast is out to harass you and maybe arrest you for 27 years.Their is not much reason to be here in the USA, it is turning slowly in to a Chavez style 3rd world country.
