a chof Sivan tefilloh



Credit: "Ende Tsadik"


The current Belzer Rebbe, may he live and be well, reportedly commissioned a Karliner Chossid who's proficient in ניסוח to write this tefilloh for him. He then proceeded to send word to all Belzer shuls - of which there are many - to say this in davenen today, Chof Sivan, to commemorate the kedoshim of the Holocaust from 5700-5705. The author's name, Yehoshua Heshel, is supposedly embedded in the tefilloh at the end.

It has been repeated many times in the name of the Belzer Rav, Rebbe Aharon zt"l that he was of the opinion not to elaborate on the the horrors of the "Shoah" especially in an "official" setting. He was against mentioning the suffering of a victim on the matzeivoh of a survivor and rarely if ever alluded to his own terrible losses during this horrific period.
It begs the question why the present Rav is introducing this alteration to something so obviously shunned by his predecessor, unless - if I may suggest - the above approach was meant for the generation of survivors who needed to suppress the horrible experiences in order to continue building their future and avoid the arising "kashos" as a result.

He has a immature obsession to create himself a image of a Original.
He is suffering from that syndrome from the first day he became Rebbe

While I greatly applaud the Belzer Rov for inserting this Kel Moleh Rachamim,the question of where G-d was for five and a half years during the endless "night" of the Holocaust needs to be asked even if it will never be answered.How could the G-d we pray to three times a day have completely abandoned us?Weren't there still thousands of Rebbeim,Roshei Yeshives,and stam erliche yidn still alive in pre-war Europe?In the mountains of seforim and frum periodicals that are published every week,has anyone ever found a satisfactory answer to this question?While we are taught to believe in hashgacha protis how do you reconcile that with the undeniable"facts on the ground?"

you saw that letter that That I linked to from the Lubavitcher Rebbe? Can you read it or have it translated?

In the letter that Hirshel put on from the Lubavicher rebbe to a survivors, he writes there is no answer and we still believe.
By the way, you never heard of the answer of reb Elchonan Wasserman, Rabbi Miller and the other answer of the Satmar Ruv?
Obviously the Lubavicher and the old Belzer thought their is no answer and we still believe.

Does Belz also say any of the Holocaust Kinnos on Tisha Bav ?
IIRC one of them was authored by the Bobover Rebbe Harav Shloime ZT"L. Or the possuk Shma Yisrael after each Tefillo which the Kaliver Rebbe Shlita asks to recite ?

schneur said...

As the Radzyner Rebbe hayad said when asked why his leadership style was different than his father's. He replied untrue I am different than my father and he was different than his father.
The Maharid was leader and askan ziburi among other things. He was not bahalten at all. Rav Aron was not into that sort of leadership.He was a behaltener. Velo Od there were those who wanted some one else to take the nesius after the Maharid's petirah and just make rav Aron the rav not the admor.They felt he was not like his father.
Each geneation especially in this Dor after a Churban much worse than Tach Vetatneeds a new leadership
Did you ever wonder the psychological reasons why rav Aron never spoke of his losses and the attitude you describe, maybe even he , had some serious taaaynos that he prefered not to verbalize ...Or perhaps he felt his followers would not withstand the issues after verbalziing what went on i 1939-1945.
I guess what we can now expect is for the Machnovker group to issue soemthng about Chof Sivan ...

In my former life as a Belzer I heard from Chasidim in the name from the first Belzer ruv that all Shabos Zemiroth, were written with Ruach Hakodesh. I am curious to know if some ruach hakodesh was injected in to this Piut? Or in todays Belz we need only the dikduk to be perfect, almost like the works of Hidenhiem, and it was probably approved by some psychologist on board.
Oy Vey, what more Belz is there still left in Belz?

"Velo Od there were those who wanted some one else to take the nesius after the Maharid's petirah and just make rav Aron the rav not the admor.They felt he was not like his father."
you don't understand chasidim and you don't know the history of Belz.
The Belzer Chasidim did not like the style of the Maharid, it took awhile until they agreed to his style of leadership. He was not as Rebish ( if you know what that means)as his father and grandfather. By Chasidim talking Nigleh was a liability not a asset.It was good maybe for exterior PR, bu not for the chasidic soul.
It was never a issue in Belz on the Rebisteve of Reb aron. He was the real Rebbe that chasidim were yearning for. He was considered holier then holy in his fathers lifetime.By the Levaye of Reb Yisocher Dov, the 2nd wife wanted that the Bilugrayer should be the Av Bies Din of Belz. Maybe she heard something from her husband. It is a piece of history that we will never know since it was choked by the "Shtieb Menchen". But even that was stopped on the basis of what Reb Aron said.
Rigidness and non compromise was more part of RYD hanhoge then his father and his son. He was fighting on every new idea that was introduced in Galicia and Hungary, from the Chadurim to the Agudah.

Ploni: I don’t think that the point of this posting is “where was G-d during the Holocaust?” Rather, how do we go about remembering it in the aftermath?
However just a quick anecdote, the Komarno Rebbe , Rav Boruch hy”d who was himself killed by the Nazis, was asked the “Where is G-d” question in the ghetto . His response (in short) was, we say during the Neilah prayer on Yom Kippur “Ato Hivdalto Enosh Merosh Vatakireihu Laammod Lefonecho” . His translation was, You Hashem has severed the person from his head (questions too great to bear), yet you give him the insight to remain standing firm before you. Very powerful!


Schneur: The personality of Rav Aharon zt”l was probably the most positive answer and guide to the generation of survivors, an example of true acceptance and a revelation of divine power that transcended the ugly face of evil.
At the same time, there were other leaders i.e. the Satmar Rov and Rav Kahaneman among many others who showed the way with unparalleled energy and a positive outlook to rebuilding and setting goals that seemed impossible yet were quite successful.

"As the Radzyner Rebbe hayad said when asked why his leadership style was different than his father's. He replied untrue I am different than my father and he was different than his father."
This statement is good for the revolutionaries of Radzin and Izbca, but it is against the essence of the strict inflexible style of Belz.
When the Radziner was in Belz for his Techleth promotion tour, he rebuked the Reb Yeoshyoa, that you act like a Erliche Yidene with a Korben Micha Sidur, he had no patience for this Tate Zichrono Livroche business.

TrachtGut said...

BTW This Belzer tefilloh is written quite well given the scope of the tragedy, however not very poetic compared to the selichos of the Ashkenazic Rishonim. Why the need to mention Auschwitz, Chełmno, Mathausen , Babi Yar, Bełżec, Sobibor, and Treblinka by name rather than placing a greater emphasis on the lost kehillos, yeshivos, chasidishe hoifen , and an entire Jewish culture of Eastern Europe and, yes we’ll forgive you if you list Belz among them. On the other hand it would open a can of worms as to who was more frum or less, who was included and who wasn’t, who caused the tragic events and who could of saved more lives. The extermination camps surely didn’t discriminate.

The Belzer Rebiem and Chasidim were davening always in Sidur Ohr haYosher, then along came the great Rebbe of Belz and invented a sidur with the Shivisi on every page. Mystical exhibitionism was chazer trief In Belz. I feel he got that gene from his Hungarian mother. It is no insult to Hungarians, but it is usually their style to flaunt in the face.

So I don't know what rebbish is, but everything you write proves my point that the Maharid was different than rav Aron and Rav Aron was different than his nephew. You clearly state that fact.And chances are that in the future other rebebs will be different too.
By the way the Radzyner vort I quoted was used by many other rebbes of different chedorim to make the same point. It has little to do with "Revolutionry Chassidus"
By the time of the last Radzyner rebbe what was revolutionary about Radzyn ?

schneur said...

Satmarer rebbe set goals etc after the war - You are kidding , when the War ended there were over a million displaced Jews in Europe with no place to go except back "home" or Israel. Lefi his Holy shitto Israel was out so they should all go home to Rumania , Germany and Poland.
America was accepting very few Jews those days certainly not in the hundreds of thousands.
So where was the care and concern you talk about ?
The ovens in Auschwitz were still hot when RJT organized demionstartions in NYC against Israel , acts that caused Rav Laizer Silver President of Agudas horabbonim to demand putting RJT in chereum. Rav Henkin the recognized posek of American Jewry called him a rodef. The Luabvitcher rebbe refused to meet with a CRC delagation to explain RJT's position.
The Satmarer was only interested in his own tribe and himself.

"The ovens in Auschwitz were still hot when RJT organized demionstartions in NYC against Israel"-shneuer
while the aushwitz ovens were still hot, israel was shmadding up the pitifully few child survivors and beating the #$%^ out of those who fought back. they were also ravaging the jews from the arabs lands, displacing them from there homes, placing them in camps behind barbed wire, stealing their kids and their religion. how long should he have waited to oppose them. until the ovens cooled down? until ben gurion's holy alteluena csnnons cooled off?
btw, while the ovens were still hot the LR was busy fihting for his shver's library, and not doing anything for the jews still in europe either.

I am such a fan of Reb Yirmiye's music that if you popped into my place when I leave the audio player on and you didn't see or know me you'd think I was a Belzer.

But I can't follow ONE word of his davening :). Is this the style in Belz?

There is a funny clip of Reb Yirmiye singing Lecha Dodi to Teimani bochurim in their havara and I understand it better than this (I also understand every word sung on any Belz album; after all Creedmoor pronunciation is somewhere between Poilin, Airmont and Sea Gate/Sighet).

I will not be as Groib as shneur, but can you explain what did Reb Yoelish do about all the Jews of the Red Shul across the street from 500 bedford and Jews of the white shull on Bedford and Hewes?
Did he worry for theem or their kids should stay Shomrie Torah Umitzvoth.He had no responsibility for a Jew that will not end up in his institutions. He did all he can to destroy the holy Mossad Chinuch atzmoi, a Charadie run educational Network that has a big part in saving torah Jewry in the Medina. The Kalmanowitz(I think they are all brisker today) can come till tomorrow with Chanifa to Satmar, with quotes out of their elbow.But the facts are different, he had a anti Klal Yisroel vision. His Klal Yoisroel was Rodney st and the Ungarishe Hiezer.

I remember the shmutzike reid from your "tzaddikim" after Entebbe against the Lubavitcher Rebbe. You and "your guys"are such maaminim in hashoras hanefesh-why was there never an apology?I guess you're bigger maaminim in the cult of a certain Rebbe than you are in giving proper kovod to gedolei Yisroel. I won't mention him by name due to the extreme psychological sensitivity of his followers.By the way I caught your insertion of the words"despite differing with him on klal matters."Oh,I guess R.

Since you are at this hesped, I would like to ask you, if Rav Shach gave some credence to the Satmar ruvs ideas and opinions as he cried with the litvisher nusach of hespedim. Then how did he do the grave sin of creating a new party in the Keneses Haminim, and has send Bnie torah to the Keneseth. He took the passive yeshiva world to be active in the biggest sin since Matan torah. He was fighting for government funds of the Memsheles Hakofrim(am I saying it correct?)it is the 2nd to the biggest sin, he magnified that sin elef Peomim Kochoo.
He would never do it to even a minor Peask of the Chazon Ish?
By Gerers and Visnitzer they are nebech stuck with the Aguda, Masie Avosieni Beyodaini, but to create a new monster of Avoda Zorah Rachmona Litzlan?

It took them many years to shed the 'other gedolim' and placate SR! it will take a few more untill they will shed the KR (to many emotions is still involved, but the next dor will judge only the facts witoht emotions attached)

The Satmarer Rov and Klauzenberger Rov both have שו"ת seforim which can be appreciated by anyone with a typical yeshivishe background.
Maybe that is part of the reason the Litvishe oilam looks up to these 2 Rebbes more than any other Rebbe postwar.

"Klauzenberger Rov both have שו"ת "

Gedoli lomdem according to their respodents etc., in todays world they are mostly edited.. and refrences are widely available encyclopidias, internet, etc.but very rarely original! thats why it took years to prepare the KR tshivus, but no one ever denied his gadles in torah! real manhiga yisruael! tazdigim mashpiam,protectors of am yisruel! who can convince am yisuael, or (kaviyuchel) g-d to budge... thats another matter, does any one know how to mesure that??

I just read in the new Lovdcho BeEmess Sefer Toldos of the
Machnivker Rebbe ZL. That in Skver Ukraine two brothers - sons of R Itzikl- and later
the uncle R Duvidl and nephew R Yosef Mayer(later Machnivker) operated seperate Rebbishe hoyfn for years.
Bsholem Vshalvo! Wonder if the next thing they burn in Skver will be this Sefer.

The respect was there BChayim Chiyusom.
In truth you could say that the SR and
KR had more in common than any other
Rebbes of the time. Its ironic but
if you think about it its true. If you list the unique
Maylos of the SR most by far apply to the KR.
This is why its easy for R Aron of KJ to make overtures to both Klausenberger brothers without internal Aroini opposition since they're viewed as "di zelbe sort yidden"
