ReplyDeleteReb Zalman (Shachter)?
ReplyDeleteHirshel, we can guess all day... how about a clue... maybe time perid?
ReplyDelete. . . it was not the "Rebbe," as his movement is racist.
ReplyDeleteHint:
ReplyDeleteAJH
AJH is not a hint, it's the answer.
ReplyDeleteI liked ABC's guess best!

ReplyDeleteAbraham Joshua Heschel- Why the heck is everyone so obsessed with him recently?
ReplyDeleteI see that he gets a whole lot more respect then those marching alongside with Arabs today.

ReplyDelete>"Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum hatred for a minimum reason."
ReplyDeleteDespite the cleverly crafted seifa, the statement is false. Racism is not the gravest threat. It is certainly true that a great number of leftist ideologues consider it to be so.
All Nazis may be racists.
But not all racists are Nazis.

ReplyDeleteI thought it was the great Rav Yonah Lazar? Why has he stopped commenting his daas Tayreh on this blog? Is it true that BT is moving to Lakewood?
ReplyDeleteYes, the BT, Yonah Lazar, is thinking about moving to Lakewood to establish a dental practice. It is also true that if he does, he will fail miserably as (1) there are millions of dentsits in Lakewood; (2) he has no real experience; (3) he is a crazy BT who thinks he is a Rav; (4) he is one of the most insecure and nasty people I have ever known.
ReplyDeleteSense is one thing that turd lacks. But if somehow he develops it, I am sure he won't come to Lakewood. He is far better off in places like Passaic where people just don't know better and have far lower standars.
PT Barnum?
ReplyDeletenice to hear from you BP unbound.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that this Yonah Lazar is so hated on this blog and others?
ReplyDeleteAs one of Lazar's many "victims" (i.e., one who had to sit through several episodes of verbal abuse from a mediocre toothpuller and BT who thinks he is a Rav even though he--a guy with a girlfriend up to a year before he got married--started learning when he got married), I can write with certitude that to know him is to hate him. The more you know him, the more you hate him. And the more you hate him, well, the more you go nuts when you read his incredibly offensive posts.
ReplyDeleteThat's it.
