Rabbi Frankfurter, was this sitdown also at the behest of your Rebbe, HaRav Dovid Soloveitchik שליט"א?
Or was it the spirit of the holy Satmar Rov that drove you to do this, namely sit down with Jane Eisner, maybe Orthodox Jewry's #1 adversary. The one that revels in witch hunts in the name of "צדק צדק תרדוף" and similar catch phrases to excuse going after the likes of the Mohel Fisher or שלום מרדכי הלוי בן רבקה. Nobody begrudges you getting publicity off of Turx's run-in with President Trump, that's the business you're in; namely selling magazines. But to make political hay is another matter. Either stand your higher moral ground or quit preaching to us from the holy editorial pages. Or send your kids to the IDF and maybe refuse to serve in the "occupied territories." That'll make JE happy.

"?איר קענט עס אראפשרייבען"
Story Here
It has its ups and downs, I tell you. Even when times are tough I use a credit card, otherwise you never know where your account is up to. And then you have kids going in and writing down without their parents' permission. And no, it's not all high praise for us frummies; they get their jabs in at our exclusiveness and our dislike for alternative lifestyle people and such. And the OTDers have their say too. [Why do I say that? why not leave good enough alone and be happy with a mostly-positive article/feature? I guess I'm just a glass-half-empty kind of guy.]
You can't win 'em all...

We finally get to hear from our side about the East Ramapo School District
After a nasty, untrue hit-piece in in NY Rag, I mean Mag, that would make Julius Streicher proud, followed by an appearance by the author of that piece on Mr. Lehrer's show, Aron Wieder, former member of the much maligned ERCSD school board was given some time to rebut the lies. That's right, lies. And they continue to get away with them, again, and again, and again. You think any other group would have a headline like this written about them? Not even OBL or the Taliban. And the comments? man, they scare you to death, knowing there are so many people out there that hate you for no reason other than they're prejudiced against you. They may give you that weird smile or frown when they see you in the stores, but they'd just as soon see you hanging from a tree or loading into a boxcar. You think I'm over the top here? read the comments. Most of them don't live there and have no idea about what goes on there. They just believe the lies because they want to. Shame on you, Mr. Benjamin Wallace-Wells for adding fuel to the fire and for feeding the haters.
