Only his turf wars are justified, for some reason.... נאר ער מעג
















Click Here to listen to the Rebbe Reb Aron of Satmar's pesichas haZman speech. At least the part that we want to hear. Funny how only he was allowed to be mechallel yomtov to daven at Rodney Street. Not him, of course, but his people. They were allowed to fight for עצים ואבנים in the treyfene Amerikeh, but Jews in the Holy Land, can't insist on davening anywhere, lest they invoke the wrath of those who hate us. And the near justification of the killings - it's just plain sickening. We're not discussing the permissibility of going up to the הר הבית, and in a way neither is he. This seems to be a personal vendetta and agenda that he has, to go after the Religious Zionists and all that they believe in at every opportunity. To discredit their theology and to make it א תאוה ווי אלע תאוות, with no basis in anything Jewish, as were his words in the not-so-distant past. But his motives are all very pure, which is why he's in secular courts all these years against his brother Zalman, right?

חרדים ה"מבטלים" הג' שבועות

Read it here

In the interest of full disclosure I will say that the author is one Reb Yitzchok Brand, a Rov who goes up to har haBayis, as we see from the picture below, center. I do not condone what he does, nor is this an approbation of the above pamphlet. The topic has been getting lots of publicity lately, with Daf Yomi just passing the end of Kesubos, where the topic is discussed. Many maggidei shiur will stop and discuss the whole topic, VaYoel Moshe and all. All of them do it with the greatest respect for the author, despite disagreeing.

a Trip to Kletzk and Volozhin
Maybe we can start sending some bachurim back to Kletzk? Start the freezer there, make them be there for 6 months. There it's REALLY cold, so it would actually be a freezer. Maybe at the same time do some community service, help out old Jews in Belarus. Like on Friday afternoons and such, not cholileh during seder.
