The preceding was a letter to the editor published recently in "Der Blatt," a Yiddish newspaper published by the Aron faction of Satmar. The writer is upset why his daughter was being punished for failing an American History exam, "not knowing when Washington found the turkey," in his words. After all, he says, all she really needs to know is how to schedule her Welfare appointment, and later on, to check her food stamps and make sure she wasn't ripped off by a few dollars.... He then goes on to say: The schools should give the English exam on a cookbook published by the Nitra Yeshiva.....

It's lines that these that keep guys like me coming back for more. No other culture can produce such pearls of wisdom.

ReplyDeleteyou write like an antisemite
you know it best that yr new religion peers in 770 use every program on the books from the city,regardless if its kosher or not
however yr hatred against the jews from the world of yr grandparents
is so overwhelming,as seen from yr
so called inocent comments,that you cant hold back
this is called a self hating jew...
Yesterday I decided to close my Creedmoor blog. Now that I see material like that, I realize I did the right thing because no parody I or anyone else ever produced comes close to the real thing as far as the be-hymishe world is concerned!
ReplyDelete(Then again, was that letter sent in around Purim time?)
"however yr hatred against the jews from the world of yr grandparents"
ReplyDeleteYes, our grandparents made extra sure to have all their affairs in order when going to their welfare appointments. :-/
I imagine, since the letter was written to Der Blatt that a Leytz from the other Satmarer branch wrote it. (At least I hope so.....) But the editors were then asleep on the job if the let this through.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where the antisemite comment comes from. I just brought the article.
Me'inyan l'inyan: why should my 4th grade daughter have to memorize the 10 generations from Odom 'till Noach?
ReplyDeleteThe whole chinuch is geared towards getting the girls into the best seminaries, rather than on teaching the children the stuff that's important for them to know.

ReplyDeleteshe needs to know so that when her daughter asks her in 20 years, and Daddu either isn't home or doesn't know, she'll be able to help her.
Ershtens, Daddy doesn't know and zicher won't know. Secondly, Yaakov Horowitz will have shaped up the chinuch system by that time
ReplyDeletedear tzigele
ReplyDeletei see that you are very much opposed to secular studies

younger years in the clledges of "culture" in the countries of the bigest ,שונאי ישראל
berlin germany,france-sorbone
to learn philosophy and ידיעת השם
from ר"ל גוישע פראפעסערס אפקורסים IN BERLIN=SORBNE!!!!!!

i can't make out all of this since my Yiddish is weak---would you mind translating your posts and your comments from time to time? It will help with the vocab.
ReplyDeletethanks.
Ah, the ShopRiter is back!
ReplyDeleteHeiliger ShopRiter:
1) Maybe the fact that the Rebbe spent time where he did and when he did is why Chabad is able to do so much with frei Yidden whereas Satmar is stuck in its isolation.
2) Most of the people I see using food stamps here in CH (not WIC which seems to be a free for all) are shabbily dressed, with the exception of young couples doing their year in kollel and wearing what they bought with gift money. Some are almonos, some are the wives of woefully underpaid mechanchim, and others are nebach cases. In short, the people who should use food stamps. The moment I walked into a pharmacy in Willi, it was assumed I had Medicaid (and once he found out I didn't, the pharmacist gave me a quick lesson in how to cheat my prescription plan for his sole benefit - if he hadn't been so ridiculous I'd have walked out without buying the OTC stuff I came in for just on principle) even though I had 2 state of the art cellphones in my designer shirt pocket. A friend who runs a legit food business here has heard many stories from the inspectors that pass him about those who lost the right to take stamps in Williamsburgh because they sold non-food items to shtempelach customers wearing fur coats and diamond rings.
I hear Der Blatt lists the exchange rate for food stamps to cash the way the WSJ lists the pound sterling, Euro etc exchange rates.
you are writing a lot abt the difference bet the crown hights takers and the willi takers
ReplyDeleteits a desperate attemp to make a fifference whil there is realy no differece nada...zilch..
you did not answer at all what kind of מעלות and קדושה the rebbe gained from his cllege years in the trief
colleges were apikurses was the main menu!!!!!
ליהוי ידוע
ReplyDeletethe point here was to poke fun at the paper and the writer of the letter to the editor, not to compare CH to Williamsburg or BP. What others write is not my concern, although it's cute to see how the welfare system has become part and parcel of the Yiddishkeit there.

ReplyDeletethanks for yr comments
i agree..
When did Washington meet a turkey? I've heard about the (false) story of the cherry tree, though I couldn't tell you on what day of the week it was supposed to have happened, and I don't suppose anybody could ever have told you, probably not even Pastor Weems who made it up. But I've never even heard of this story with the turkey. I suppose I would fail this "history" test too, and be "punished". It's a good thing I don't go to that school.
