What You Can Do At The DMV

Now, you too can waste precious time better used to learn Torah, spend time with family or make money and plan the personalized license plate you know you'll never get because you're too cheap, or simply don't have the cash! Just remember, many of your dream plates are already taken or are not allowed by the DMV... I chose to display here many of the topics that we discuss here on the tent, whether very recently or in general. I know, I know, I could've done hundreds of different things too, but I don't have that much time. Send us in your suggestions, pictures, that is, and we might just publish them! I actually saved some more plates, and maybe I'll add some later, who knows?


The Author of the Tolner Wikileaks as he was - and is known in Ger, even after becoming Rebbe, and especially now that he's embarrassed them for all eternity.

Der Rebbe di Baysrool, Beis Yisroel, as it's pronounced in Ger

Last of the Kopusters... And where Lubavitch got lots of Chassidim from.

Land of the Free and Home of the Brave

Yeah!

A Yeshivaman, one who toils in Torah despite all the hardships...

What we should be doing, but are too busy to...

It's not really alive, is it?

I should get a set..

Chai-Yat Kislev, anyone?


The man which the world was created for


Srool or Mendel, which one do you like? Or are you Monsey?


Don't know where that came from - maybe Wiki put that in my mind too


What we all need to do more of


A shtarke guy who learns in Kolel, for the time being, anyway


The Shchunah where it all happens


The day that it all began


{headscratcher}


The one we love


The Tumene Tziyonim - fechie.


An old time talmid of Reb Aron - or a wannabe from Lakewood.


מה זרעו בחיים אף הוא בחיים


A great book about a great Chossid


What could've been...

כל השביעין חביבין - and now we know in Ger too!

That "tekufeh" was way too short

Not to be confused with Spinka 56, or maybe it's the amount of Spinka Rebbes?

The Yeshivah on the hill, and on the rocks, as well....

The one you know you love and need more of...

"אולי כרמב"ן"

One person's fantasy...

Just Because...

A happy day - or "El Naqba," depending where you stand on the issue...

Ch'sidish can mean lots of things...

Imagine if that would happen...

No, there are no letters missing here - that's the word

His whole being is "anti"

None here.

Last of the (Ger) Wikis

This was too hot even for Hydepark or the blogs, so they took it out. But we bring it to you, just to give all the other lines some perspective. "Vos heist" perspective? Well, There are lots of recipients of his sharp mind and tongue over the course of the 492+ pages. Lubavitch, The Avi Ezri, Karlin, Ozherov (why him?) Belz, his nephew the current Rebbe, and the list goes on. Supposed friends and adversaries. We all saw what WE liked and laughed, and maybe didn't like some other line that was about people we like and care for. You might say that the only ones who didn't GET it were Satmar and some of its satellite groups! Isn't that a doozy. Here the Satmorim are screaming bloody moideh all those years that the Gerrer are apikorsim and they're totally ignored! They get love and respect in return, as if Itche Meir wasn't dragged through the mud all those years. SO if you liked when he attacked Chabad or The Avi Ezri then you need to like all the rest, including the Hasmottis. And if you believed or liked nothing - !אשריך


I'm in the picture, I was with RMK at the PM's house that day, and you can see me, albeit only the "shpitz shtrahmel..." I almost was at the AE's house too, We tried to see him, but he wasn't feeling well that day. We also visited the Erlauer, Rav Wosner and some others.

"זכרון שמריהו"

Who remembers how Schneur used to rail about that fact that Lubavitch never named any institutions after the Frierdige Rebbe's oldest Eydem, The RaSHaG, Reb Shmaryahu Gurary, z"l? (It was mostly - or all - on Mentalblog,ע"ה, not here.) How about we rename this blog "Zichron Shmaryahu" for a day Lekoved the RaSHaG's 22nd yahrtzeit? There's not much that I can do, other than this. I don't have buildings or mosdos, and I'm not publishing a sefer at the moment. This blog is all I have. By the way; has anybody else noticed how the Meshichisten seem to have taken up that cause, for lack of a better term. These pics are from a rabid Meshichist site, and they commemorate him very often. Go figure.

אומר ועושה

The "Anti-Tzemach" is no more.

Before you have heart palputations read on. No, I'm not closing the blog.

FROM NOW ON YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU ACCESS THIS SITE!

Just type in hirsheltzig.com and see what happens!

No need to type in the whole, long anti-tzemach.

Just do it!

HIRSHELTZIG.COM

The old URL will still take you to the site.

Oh! and we just passed our 1 Millionth UNIQUE hit. (not page refresh, unique visits.) Not bad at all. On to the next Millionth!

More Brisker Notes...

Have you ever noticed how the zealots use all the extra terms of endearment when writing? How you can feel the "love" in every word they write? How you can sense the blood rush to their heads when mentioning people they dislike, for whatever reason? Page 2 speaks of the time that the BR sent Menachem Porush to speak to the FR about the law of Chok Chovah that was about to take hold in Israel. There too you can see the "love." No credit is given after they succeeded to stop that law from going into effect.

All of it.

UPDATE 3:39pm - here's the rest - all of it.

Brisker "Wikileaks" - only because you asked so nicely.

It was probably written by Schlesinger of London, grandson of Moreinu Rosenheim, who's known as "Saba" in these pages.
Hanhagas Brisker Rov

Brisker "Wikileaks"

There are 9 more pages of this...

If you're nice to me I'll post them all.

Thanks to an anonymous benefactor for sending me this. They say that this might be the work of one of the Schlesinger Bros. from London, reknowned 'Kanoyim'. I bring you this page now to show you that despite it all there was still the same old misnagdishe approach to Chassidim and their Rebbes. Not the Rebbes of today, but even the Alter Rebbe, Reb Nachman and the Sfas Emes. The fact that he says that Chassidim removed shtiklach from Tanya because of what Reb Chaim Volozhiner wrote later on to counter that shows us that -------- whatever.

דור השביעי - חסידישע אושפיזין - נוסח גור

It seems to me, an uninitiated one, who didn't grow up in Ger, but did go over to Lubavitch, that I've heard these words somewhere. Something about there being a significance to the number 7, and that the 7 Rebbeyim symbolize the שבעה רועים. But it seems like that concept was publicized some time before, and that it wasn't the Rebbe who "came up with it." Ger seems to maybe have taken it one step further by proclaiming der Rebbe di Imrei Emes as Dovid Malka Meshicheh, and use his Yohrtzeit as proof. He says here in the name of the Sfas Emes that the geulah would come in the IE's time, and that if not the complete geulah then at least the Aschalta. Noted Gerrer Chossid Rav Mendel Kasher brings in his HaTekufoh Hagedolah (thank you, Dr. Balbin) that we witnessed the Aschalta with the creation of the State of Israel, היל"ת. I wonder if that stemmed from his Gerrer education, where he was taught that the IE would witness the Geulah, which he did, because he passed away one month after the creation of the State.... Chabad, however, doesn't stray from the RaMBaM in Hilchos Melochim, even if they use the Dor HaShvi'i as a sign.

טאלנער - פנ"מ וויקיליקס באמבע

יומני טאלנא
If you're having trouble seeing it on the page click on "יומני טאלנא" above.


רי"ם = Reb Yitzchok Menachem Weinberg, today's Tolner Rebbe of Bayit Vegan,

ס.ט. = Saba Tolner, his zeide, the old Tolner Rebbe, Reb Yochonon Twersky,

הב"י = is the Bais Yisrool, of course, Reb Yisroel Alter,

ל"ש = the Lev Simcha, Reb Simcha Bunim Alter,

הגרפ"מ = is the Gaon Reb Pinches Menachem, before he was Rebbe, (after which he was known as the אד"ש, and after his passing as the Pnei Menachem,) which was after 7 Tammuz, 5752, when his brother the Lev Simcha passed away.

מו' ד. ח = Moreini Reb Doniel Chaim, son of the Pnei Menachem

Reb Shaul is the Rosh Yeshiva of Sfas Emes in yerushalayim and a son of the Pnei Menachem,

Reb Aryeh was the Pnei Menachem's son who passed away some 20 years ago after being hiot by a bus. He was a son in law of Rav Menashe Klein.


Other Roshei Teivosen are Shamoshim and Gaboyim. I'll tru and answer more R"T question in the comments if you have any. No guarantees, though.

ויקנאו בו אחיו, פולין, תרצ"ד

The one one the left is not the point of the picture... Remember that the Rebbe was all of 54 years old here. Yiddishe Tzores do that to the Nossi HaDor. I remember seeing Chaim Lieberman's picture in the Pashkevill they published in 1989, 55 years later (!) He didn't change a bit. Hardly aged. If not for the white hair you'd think he was still that young. It must be alot easier staying a bochur...

Oh, did any of you see the Tolner Wikileaks?

You wanna discuss it?

Shall I upload it here?
