French Jewry, a new crisis? (Guest Post)

Hirshel:

 I'm asking a question here, not necessarily jumping to conclusions. I'm not sure about this but it's my gut feeling that some new "issue" is starting to be created under our very noses. It's called chesed Kalev, for French Jews going to Israel. Now that חסד לאברהם - founded by the late Skulener Rebbe, zt"l, איז שוין עליו השלום, we're left with kind of a lull, or a void, in the business. People have time and nothing to do with it. Now I see a new consortium of charlatans are ringing a bell on France. That the French Jews who are making aliya are going to go frei because they're going to go to secular or Religious-lite schools in IsraelIt also gets an anti Zionist flavor, which gets the zealots on board; that the Zionists will not let you go to frum mosdos in Israel. As if the Frenchies are semi invalids coming from a non developed African country with pea brains that can't make decisions regarding their kids' schooling.  I see R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum from the more-extreme Satmar faction signed on to this, not his brother who hates this baloney, plus he has no love for Skulen. וד"ל.  The Hamodia quotes Reb Chaim Kanievsky who supposedly tells people to rather go to official secular mosdos than mamlachti Dati! What a statement!!  Going to secular vs. a place where you say Krias Shema and put on Tefillin! The old juvenile Bnei Berak talk. It must have been taken out of context. They claim that the Kalever Rebbe, may he have a רפו"ש, placed 4,000 kids in to Charedi mosdos. That's almost as big as the whole skverer chasidus!!

Are people so gullible ????

ישיבת תומכי תמימים ליובאוויטש בעי"ת ברינוא, תש"מ - פרסום ראשון

These great pictures were taken by Aviv Itzhaky back in 1980 who maintains the copyright. It is with his kind permission that we feature these pictures. The great figures that built Brunoy were still there. Reb Yossel Goldberg, Reb Nissen Nemenov, etc. The great influx of Sefardic Jews into the Chabad system was also well underway, as is evident from some in the pictures. Reb Itche Nemenov, son of Reb Nissen, born in 5708, was apparently some kind of rebbi/mashgiach in the Yeshiva.

אבל כבד: השליח הרב שמואל אזימוב ע"ה
























The one who was responsible for the great revolution of Jews coming back to Torah and Yiddishkeit in France. A father figure to thousands of Jews in France who owe it all to him. What more can we say? A great loss. Period.

?מה נאמר























מורי ורבותי


I'm flattered that people look to me and to my writings to take comfort in the event of terrible tragedies, but what am I supposed to say at a time like this? What words of comfort can I possibly deliver? We sit and mourn יחד עם כל בית ישראל. I have a friend -or maybe "acquaintance" would be a better term? -  from my Kolel days who's a Chabad shliach in Toulouse and was quoted in one of the reports. He had just dropped off his children at the school when he heard the shots. His daughter texted him to stay away from the school. Why do I tell you this? I have no idea. I'm just rambling. Rabbi Sandler was on shlichus in Toulouse, having come from Israel to teach. This is an unspeakable crime, especially since we know that the killer looked to kill children point blank. We can see from the pictures that the community in Toulouse is a united one, with many different streams all being educated either in Lubavitch or Otzar HaTorah. I have met Jews in Monsey who are French - not Chabad - and spoke so highly of Lubavitch and their activities. It warms the heart to see Jews united so. Let's do that here too! Here we have countless numbers of Jews who could easily assimilate in France yet choose to educate their kids in the ways of Torah, despite the dangers of it! What a beautiful nation the Yidden are! I'm tired of being the bearer of bad news here. Obituaries, one after the other. It's bad enough that I write about people, cities and culture that are long dead, now I need to write about killings, r"l? You want links? see below. You've heard and seen it all by now.
