There are numbers of these types even around the NYC area.

This is learned from Devarim (17:15) that he must be from your brothers. Not only does this restriction apply to appointing a king but it applies also to any position of authority over others. Thus it applies to being an officer in the army or being a leader of 50 men or even 10. Even the supervisor of an irrigation pond must be a Jew from birth and not a ger. And surely a judge or political leader must be a Jew from birth because (Devarim 17:15) says “from amongst your brothers.” Therefore all positions of power can only be from Jews from birth – who are called your brothers.Azoy vee shtait in Rrrambamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-8223462695615294742012-07-20T17:27:03.368-04:002012-07-20T17:27:03.368-04:00I think there is a common denominator with Hoffman...I think there is a common denominator with Hoffman, Gil Student & Steinzaltz. People who become BTs later in life generally do not have a rebbe to get a mesorah from in learning & hashkofos. Steinzaltz grew up on the Communist kibbutz Shomer Hatzair. Gil Student was Conservative & went to YU in his 20s. I might be wrong but I don't think Hoffman was very young either when he became frum.

"כבן משפחה, מגיל 15 הייתי בא אליו ושואל אותו שאלות בלימוד. תמיד הייתי נדהם מהבקיאות העצומה שלו. הוא מפורסם אמנם כפוסק, אבל הוא היה בקי בכל ספרי השיעורים של הלומד'ס, כולל אלו של דורנו ממש".<br /><br />דמותו של הרב זצ"ל הצטיירה תמיד כמופרשת מענייני העולם, אך כבן משפחה, מספר הרב יעקובוביץ', כי חכמתו הרבה הקיפה הכל: "בדרך כלל שוחחתי עמו בענייני לימוד. מהשיחות המועטות שנהלתי עמו שלא בלימוד, נוכחתי לדעת כי הוא פיקח וחכם גם בהוויות העולם. כל פרט שרלוונטי לדיון הוא ידע. עצותיו היו תמיד מחכימות ומאירות עיניים". <br /><br />עוד מספר יעקובוביץ: "הדיוק היה נר לרגליו. הוא לא הוציא מתחת ידו שום דבר שאינו מתוקן. כשבאתי לבקש ממנו הסכמה לספרי הוא אמר כי אינו מביא לי הסכמה רק כיון שהוא מאוד דייקן, לכן אין צורך שיכתוב מחדש הסכמה נפרדת, אלא יצטרף לדבריו של הרב שמואל אויערבאך שליט"א, ומתוך כך יבינו כי הוא סומך את ידיו על הספר".<br /><br />כמנהיג הרוחני של הציבור הליטאי, היו שחשבו כי הוא מתנגד לחסידויות בכלל, ולחסידות חב"ד בפרט, אך משיחות אישיות שקיים עמו הרב יעקובוביץ' עולה תמונה אחרת לגמרי: "ראיתי תמיד שכל מה שנוגע לעם ישראל, על שלל חוגיו, היה חשוב לו. לא אפרט, אבל הוא התעניין אצלי על דברים פנימיים שהתרחשו בחסידות חב"ד".<br /><br />סיפור נוסף מספר לנו הרב יעקובוביץ': "זכיתי לערוך סיום מסכת על-יד הרב זצ"ל. כשאמרתי את הקדיש נהגתי כמנהג המקום ולא הוספתי 'ויצמח פורקניה'. הרב זצ"ל, שמעולם לא פספס פרט, אמר למשמשיו: 'הוא הרי חבד"ניק, מדוע לא אמר ויצמח פורקניה?!"<br /><br />"פעם אחת אזרתי אומץ ושאלתי אותו מדוע קיימת מחלוקת בין חסידות חב"ד לבין הציבור הליטאי. הוא הגיב בפליאה והתבטא "אני לא שונא את חב"ד".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-29786661125876201712012-07-19T09:52:53.836-04:002012-07-19T09:52:53.836-04:00Hoffman is a similar shnit as Gil Student, left le...Hoffman is a similar shnit as Gil Student, left leaning modern orthodox at heart but dressing and acting yeshivish when it suits them because it's good for busine$$. When with his modern crowd he is known as Rabbi Jordan Hoffman. He was head of the modern 5 Towns school "Tiferet", affiliated with YU & Lookstein and located in Temple Israel of Lawrence, the Reform place that was allegedly caught with shrimp & chazir in their "kosher" kitchen. It seems like Tiferet just got rid of Hoffman because they placed an ad for his position a month ago. Hoffman is a hack for the OU who gets paid to write their propaganda in the 5 Towns Jewish Times published by lapsed Lubavitcher "Larry" Gordon. Gordon gets plenty of ad dollars from the OU and their affiliates which is why no mention is made of Hoffman's partiality and when they want to go on the attack against their critics, Hoffman uses an alias or no name at all. Hoffman puts on a black hat and goes to darshan for a few minutes btwn Mincha maariv in a Far Rockaway shul where the rov was niftar. I'm not aware of any shul with a Mara d'asra that lets Hoffman give a shiur or speak.Tantzen bei alleh chassunosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-34292220796404691072012-07-19T09:18:30.191-04:002012-07-19T09:18:30.191-04:00Rav Elyashev holds that a giyores from a more frum...Rav Elyashev holds that a giyores from a more frum (lehavdil) background (eg. the Amish) has neemanus on besulim which is a nafka mina for kesuba and other things.Askannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-21621639043222391702012-07-19T09:11:25.489-04:002012-07-19T09:11:25.489-04:00Askan
