After all, Reb Chaim did rescind his support from the Agudah. So despite the fact that he originally supported the idea of an Agudah of Charedim, in the end he didn't. So to say, 100 years later, in an ad for the CURRENT Agudah, that Reb Chaim supported them, is somewhat disingenuous, no? Reb Chaim's picture is second from the left.
Not disingenuous at all. Read what it says
ReplyDelete"Some of the Gedolei Yisroel who enthusiastically supported the CONFERENCE".
Which is true. The article itself is about the conference as well. Any inferences are in your mind only.
and since there was a conference 100 years ago, therefore?
ReplyDeletebut you do your job well, H.A.P.
I'll grant you that.

ReplyDeleteyou are correct, its advetizing with intention to fool the consumer,
But was the reason that reb chaim deserted the idea?
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's overall theme is to push the siyum hashas. However this specific article is about the Katovitz conference, hence the reference to RC"B
Tzig right on - I would suggest everyone read מקאטוויץ עד ה' באייר from R Tzvi Weinman (back in the day you had to get it from his house in Maalos Dafneh but now that he was meshadech all his kids you can find it in some seforim stores) and learn all about what happened with Rav Chaim and his takonos that they did not accept. Also you will learn a lot more about RYML. Required reading for all intelligent bnei tayreh
ReplyDelete1. I have seen mikatovitz in Judaica Plaza in Lakewood.
ReplyDelete2. R' Chaim made 18 conditions for his joining with Aguda which Rosenheim rejected.
3. R' Chaim is reported to have said after Katowitz "I thought it would be Poilishe Da'as Torah and German money, now I see it Polish money and German da'as torah"
" Read what it says
ReplyDelete"Some of the Gedolei Yisroel who enthusiastically supported the CONFERENCE".

Of course, the point is to lie with out saying so outright. The point is R. Chaim supported the conference that lead to the founding of Agudah. The logical inference is that R. Chaim supported Agudah. Which is not true of course. What would be the point of writing who supported the conference in ancient history?
why do they have a need to lie, when they have the chofetz chaim and reb chaim oizer?
ReplyDeleteThe are more popular by the masses then Reb Chaim?
The agudah of today! By definition is synounomus with audacity and lies. 90% of the original supporters - included the c"c and r' c"o - would of probably by now קרע קריעה שאינו מתאחה on the agudah! Let alone the brisker ruv! Who would of מחרים אותם באלף שופרותthe agudah of today! Their חוצפּה יתירה בלי בושה, שאין לה גבול is compounded by the numness of the brisker talmidim on the desecration of their rebbe!
ReplyDeleteThis cutzpah reminds me of a story when they made the first agudah convention here in America they approched the satmar rav z"l to join them without any pre conditions he can say his un- filtered daas torah for all to hear! The satmar ruv חכם עדיף מנביא, שירד לסוף דעתם של הרשעים ההםunderstood that they want probably a photo op (so in later years they can pull a 'like this brisker shtig on him') answered "I can not go because I'll be the 'only' agudist between so many zionistin" .ודפּח"ח

Tzig - help me out here with something that has bothered me for quite a while. Anyone who knows and has a sense of history fully understands the circumstances of the times 100 years ago that caused the creation to the Agudah.
ReplyDeleteI think that we can safely say, that none of those reasons apply any longer. What is the purpose of the Agudah today?
I am not saying that the Agudah doesn't do some good things, but why must an organization that lost its relevance continue on. Is it just the law of inertia?
As an aside, there are many organizations that have the same issue, on a smaller scale. For example, why does Ezras Toah still exist? Are American jews still sending money to support talmidei chachomim in Lita during the depression. I think the depression and jewry in Lita ended about 70 years ago.
Why does all the various Rabbi Meir Baal Haness organizations still exist? I am not chas v'sholom saying the funds are wasted, but the original premise for these organizations no longer exist. They exist due to simple inertia. Just like the Agudah.
This is, of course, why there is the big focus on the Siyum HaShas. It is needed to keep the Agudah relevant.

My problem with this is twofold: 1. The fact that they used Reb Chaim Briskers name after he rescinded support of the Aguda 2. If its okay to use Reb Chaim Brisker what happened to the Rebbe Rashab who left together with Reb Chaim? Unless this is another Asifa spoof where Chabad is uninvited.
ReplyDeleteThe kotowice convention of 1912 and their resolutions were packaged as a call to torah and yirah! Now who will oppose to something like that! Right? Wrong! Some gedoli yisruel understood that their moto's are false you don't make a convention for all masses for 'torah and yirah!' only! That's the domain of each rav in his kehila!, so what was behind it! An asifa of rabunim - with many different opinions - to package it as one! From now on when the party will call for anything!!! it will be under the name off all Rabunim attended than, (till enternity) what a joke!
ReplyDeleteBut really not such a joke because we have a klal אומר מותר אנוס so those who attendet naively or with blatant lies told to them before hand are from now obligated and declared an אנוס and why because of the:
'כלל, האומר מותר אנוס הוא , מכות ז
Therefore is it right for those rabunim who where naive (or let just say they didn't had a vision on the current aguda, with a medina and all the bells and whistles it comes with) and of course are not alive anymore, that we can commit atrocities under their names forever isn't this the ultimate chilul hashem to push those tzadigim attended an asifa called l'torah v'yirah into this molasses called agudah of today?!
Yochi G: "what happened to the Rebbe Rashab who left together with Reb Chaim? Unless this is another Asifa spoof where Chabad is uninvited."
ReplyDeleteGood question, I would propose a 3 day asifa between lubab and satmar only! להחזיר עטרה ליושנה (No Agudistin in attendance) since both of our rebbes where vehemently opposed to zionisim and by extension agudistin, I'm serious here, this asifa can be a two-way-street, satmar will help the lubab's with 'local' issues (I'll rather not elaborate on this here..) and lubab will help fight off the aguda/litvakas invasion! In eretz yisruel or atleast in America!
Note: That the biggest leaders (not strictly learned only scholars) but visionary leaders tzadigim מנהיגי ישראל, כמו ר' חיים בליטא, המהרש"בּ ברוסיא, הבּעלזער בּגאליציע־פּוילין, המונקאטשער בּאונגארן־רומעניע, ואתם עמם מאות אחרים where all against an agudah even of than when the call was ‘l’torah v’yirah’ only!
Let us stop getting our knickers into a twist. Aguda lies about their support from Gedolim. That is what politics is. But there is nor much they can do wit their lie. If they have some kind of control on public opinion today, it is because of their actions today. They could not stop Citifield because they are not powerful enough. They give backing to the non-reporting of abuse that Yeshivos are looking for anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf someone can give me one example of their power due to their lies, I will also be upset. But, in the meantime, it is just harmless fun. They lie and we call them out on it.

Tzig - I saw the ad today in the paper and something struck me way before the picture of R'Chaim.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice how they describe the movements of "secular nationalism" and socialism.
Has the Agudah become so politically correct that they can't call Zionism - "Zionism"? Who are they fooling by calling it "secular nationalism"? It almost sounds like they were started to fight the fascist movements.
Besides, weren't they trying to fight the Mizrachi, as well. So why are they picking on "secular nationalism", it was "religious nationalism" too.
And then the ad goes on to describe the "ravages of assimilation and Reform in Western Europe that made their way to the doorsteps of thousands of Jewish homes at the turn of the 20th century".
Do these clowns know any history? Assimilation and reform ravaged Western Europe at the turn of the NINTEETH century. By 1912, that battle in Western Europe was unfortunately long lost, with some small exceptions. Did they mean Eastern Europe?

this satmar lie machine is humming again, the Chofetz Chaim and reb Chaim oizer had no problem, with a medina al pi torah, They were both real talmidie chachomim and they knew that Agadtta is not halaccha, they far from being Kanoim.....
Why are you lying as if the Satmar ruv was not against the agudah, when all gedolie yisroel were for it, as Rabbis Zonnenfeld,Duschinsky,Ungar Nitra, sofer Pressburgh, they were products from the tielung, and they were the builders of Aguda, while the satmar ruv hollered Kefira... you are a a demagouge,,,,

They should have used a picture of the Rav, or Rav Kook. They were both part of Aguda conventions too. Who cares about Aguda anyway.

The Bio of the Rebbe Rashab in Hayom Yom states that the Rebbe attended an asifa in Katowitz in 1909 and announced that he is leaving Agudas Yisroel.
ReplyDeleteHow is this reconciled with the fact that the Aguda is said to be founded in Katowitz in 1912?
