THIS IS MY SONS WORK

BEIT SHEMESH

Growing Momentum Seeking Resignation of Beit Shemesh Mayor(Tuesday, December 27th, 2011)
The number of participants in the Beit Shemesh rally in support of women’s rights and condemning chareidi extremists was significantly less than the thousands organizers hoped would attend.
The event was held under the banner “to expel the darkness” and among the speakers were a number of women who were victimized by extremist elements who identify with the chareidi community.
Perhaps the height of the evening came with a song performed by Tanya Rosenblit, who was recently labeled the “Rose Parks of Israel” after refusing to move to the rear of a mehadrin bus. Rosenblit is not Shomer Shabbos, and she is a journalist, a fact that was not reported by many news agencies following the incident. Also addressing the forum were opposition leader MK Tzipi Livni and Labor party leader MK Shelly Yacimovich.
In a related matter, senior police officials met today, Tuesday, December 27, 2011 with Gavaad Eida Chareidis, HaGaon HaRav Weiss Shlita, who expressed his opposition to anyone using physical force against another towards achieving one’s goals.

GABY LOCK SAYS:
THE NOT FRUM ARE LEAVING THE COUNTRY  I DO NOT BLAME THEM AS THEY WANT A BETTER LIFE.
 THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT DOES NOTHING TO HELP THEM.
THE FRUM PEOPLE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO STAY AND ARE COMING TO ISRAEL,
THEY ARE THE DEDICATED ZIONISTS EVEN IF LIFE IS HARD FOR THEM.
THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG IN THIS MATTER.
THERE IS JUST NO UNDERSTANDING, ONE TO ANOTHER.

Eichler: Bring Down The Government If Need Be!(Tuesday, December 27th, 2011)
Speaking to Kol Chai Radio on Tuesday night, MK Rabbi Yisrael Eichler decried the increasing wave of anti-chareidi media reports, blaming the left-wing controlled media for keeping the hate campaign on the front page of the national agenda.
The veteran journalist and MK made no apologies, but lashed out at those who continue to point an accusing finger at the nation’s chareidi tzibur when they are well-aware the recent hooliganism is the result of the actions of a few, a small minority, people who identify themselves with the chareidi community but in no way are they representative of a chareidi lifestyle or values.
Rav Eichler spoke of the remarks made by his rebbe, the Belzer Rebbe Shlita, who condemned the acts of violence, stating that this is not the way we spread the light of Torah.
Gavaad Eida Charedis Refuses Meeting With Jerusalem Police Chief
Jerusalem Police Chief Niso Shacham requested a meeting with Eida Chareidis Gavaad HaRav Yitzchak Tuvia Weiss Shlita, apparently to call on the rav to instruct his tzibur to exercise restraint, seeking to calm the situation regarding increased chareidi violence. According to BaKehilla, the Gavaad refused to meet with the senior commander, apparently blaming him for his share ...


GABY LOCK SAYS :
I KNOW THE GAVAAD VERY WELL
IT IS NOT HIS JOB TO CLEAN UP THE VIOLENCE BETWEEN THE FRUM AND NOT- FRUM
 SPECIALLY IN ISRAEL,THE GOVERNMENT  ( THE NOT- FRUM )
HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE FRUM PEOPLE AND THIS HAS COME TO A HEAD
IT IS THE JOB OF THE POLICE! ! !

HaRav Kupshitz Shlita Shuns Beit Shemesh Police Chief
(Thursday, December 29th, 2011)
HaRav Nosson HaCohen Kupshitz Shlita, rav of the Nachla Menucha neighborhood of Ramat Beit Shemesh did not agree to meet with Beit Shemesh Police Chief Kobi Cohen as tensions continue mounting in the divided community.

The bus was traveling in a frum area of the capital, Ramat Eshkol, and it is customary for men to take a seat in the front and women in the rear, an unwritten custom among riders. According to state law, backed by recent Supreme Court rulings, this cannot be compelled upon those unwilling to cooperate and there are signs on buses stating just this; that one cannot compel anyone to move to another area of the bus.

IT IS FIFTY YEARS SINCE I CAME TO ISRAEL,
THIS HAS  ALWAYS BEEN THE PROBLEM.
THE NOT- FRUM HAVE TO GO INTO THE AREA OF THE FRUM
AND NOT KEEP SHABOS. A GIRL NOT DRESSED PROPERLY
WILL  ANTAGONISE AN ORTHODOX MAN.
THE NOT FRUM PUSH AND PUSH.
STATE OF ISRAEL, KEEP PUSHING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS ! ! !

VIOLENCE

Belzer Rebbe Shlita Speaks Out Against Increasing Chareidi Violence

Speaking at Chanukah candle lighting, the Belzer Rebbe Shlita released a statement against the escalating violence from within the chareidi tzibur. The rebbe stated “If there are those among us who believe they will spread the light of Yiddishkheit through violence, they are mistaken”.
Taking part in the hadlokas neiros was Minister of Education Gideon Saar, who added that Avraham Avinu also worked to bring people closer to Hashem, but did so through gently trying to attract others, not seeking to achieve his goal with violence, which the minister added “hasn’t a chance of succeeding”.

GABY LOCK SAYS:
I LIKE WHAT THE BELZER  REBBE SAYS, I HOPE OTHERS WILL FOLLOW.
THE BELZER REBBE DOES NOT TELL A NOT-FRUM JEW THAT HE HAS A  RIGHT TO BE NOT FRUM.
BUT WHEN A NOT-FRUM JEW THINKS HE IS LIKE A FRUM JEW
WE HAVE TO TELL HIM HOW TO LIVE AS A JEW.
YOU WILL FIND MISTAKES AND AVEROUS BY FRUM JEWS IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE
BUT YOUR DUTY AS A JEW IS TO KEEP THE TORAH.
THROUGH THE TORAH AT MOUNT SINI WE BECAME JEWS.
THEN AFTER FORTY YEARS WE WENT INTO ISRAEL.
THE RABBI WHO GAVE US THE TORAH FROM G=D NEVER EVEN WENT INTO ISRAEL.
WE NEED TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH NOT WITH FORE OR VIOLENCE ! ! !

QUESTIONS

VIDEO: How To Help Our Children Go From OK To Great [Mordechai Weinberger LCSW]
(Monday, December 26th, 2011)
[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]
Mordechai Weinberger LCSW, along with Dr. Efrayim Nudman, M.D. Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Cornell Medical College, Former Chief of Inpatient Psychiatric service at New York Presbyterian Hospital addressed these questions that were emailed to him:
1: All my life in Yeshiva I watched friends of mine just as smart as me make it and I somehow never made it. Now that I am working, I am finding the same story happening again. I am working just as hard as my co worker and yet he gets the raise and I don’t. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
2: I want to get close to a certain group of friends. The problem is that I don’t like the same things they do. Is there anyway I can still get into this group?
3: I have a simple question to ask but I have no one to turn to, so I am asking you and hopefully you can help me. I come from a very messed up background. I can’t turn to my parents for help; I have to parent them. I am newly married and my cooking is terrible. After a few months of marriage my husband opened up to me and asked me to call his mother for recipes. I feel so embarrassed that I can’t do it. I am pretty sure I will never be a good cook because it’s not in my genes. I am watching this little problem grow into a huge fight every time he asks me to make something new. Is there any way I can have my husband accept my limitations and to learn to focus on my positive strengths?

GABY LOCK SAYS:
READING THIS ARTICLE ABOVE IN YESHIVA WORLD:
I AM STARTING TO UNDERSTAND  THAT THESE PEOPLE
HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE DUTY OF A JEWISH PERSON IS
AND WHY G=D MADE THIS WORLD.
IN THIS WORLD YOU HAVE MADE IT WHEN YOU KEEP THE TORAH
WITH THE QUALITIES G=D GAVE YOU.

IF YOUR FRIEND HAS A RAISE, AND YOU DO NOT,
THAT'S THE WAY G=D WANTS IT TO BE.
YOU HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT THE RAISE. YOU ARE NO MORE OR LESS,
THIS WORLD IS A TEST GROUND THAT'S WHAT YIDDISHKEIT IS ABOUT.
THE WOMAN WHO CAN COOK IS NO MORE OR LESS THEN YOU.
OVERCOMING THE TESTS IN LIFE WITH THE QUALITIES YOU HAVE
THAT'S WHAT JEWISH  LIFE IS ABOUT.
G=D WILL JUDGE IF YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL OR NOT.

CHANUKAH

How Do You Spell Hanukkah?

TIME Magazine has the following article on their website:
It began last night at sunset: Hanukkah. Or is it Chanukah? Or Hannukah? Sometimes getting the proper spelling of a Hebrew word transliterated into English gets tricky, especially when far more than a trio of options prove technically correct. But if you don’t fall into the Hebrew-scholar category, what should you do?

GABY LOCK SAYS:
                  THE CORRECT SPELLING IS NOT THE POINT OF THE HOLIDAY
                   OR LIKE SOME JEWISH PEOPLE THINK WE DO NOT LOSE OUT.
                  THE NONE-JEWS HAVE CHRISTMAS AND WE HAVE CHANUKAH.
                  SOME STUPID JEWS EVEN  HAVE A CHANUKAH BUSH...........
                  THE FIRST THING A JEWISH PERSON HAS TO KNOW ABOUT
                  JEWISH LIFE IS, IF THEY GO RIGHT, WE GO LEFT.
                  A JEWISH PERSON HAS NOTHING WITH CHRISTMAS
                  EXCEPT THAT THE LITTLE KING WAS A JEWISH BOY.
                  CHANUKAH STARTED NEARLY 200 YEARS
                  BEFORE MARY DECIDED TO HAVE A SON.
                  WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR RELIGION
                   AND LET THEM KEEP THEIRS.

KIDDUSH HASHEM

Amidst all the controversy pertaining to mehadrin bus lines at the moment in Israel, sparked in part by a woman who instigated the issue when she intentionally boarded a mehadrin bus in Ashod, YWN Isreal is pleased to present the following Kiddush Hashem that was sent to us today with a video attached:
“I was riding from Ramot to Yerushalayim proper at the front of mehadrin bus number 40 when the bus stopped by the new Ramot Mall. Due to the time of day, the bus was pretty full, so when a non-charedi woman boarded the bus she stood near the driver. I flinched, half expecting someone to tell her to go to the back of the bus. Yet, Baruch Hashem, two gentlemen, as she called them (and yes, one can have a beard and long payos and still be a gentleman), gave up their seats on the front row of the bus. Many on the bus, driver included, were shocked at the kiddush Hashem, which prompted me to video her and ask her to tell the story in her own words.
Let’s see Haaretz, Ynet, or some other anti-charedi news outlet report this story”

GABY LOCK SAYS:
LOOK AT THE VIDEO  ON YESHIVA WORLD.

AND LETS SPREAD A BIT OF LOVE
FROM ONE JEW TO ANOTHER.
BUT HATING EACH OTHER  ONLY BRINGS
TROUBLES TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

REV CHAIM STEIN ZATZAL

As the word spread, people from all over began streaming to his door. Cholim with serious illnesses from around the world, who were being treated at the nearby Cleveland Clinic, would make it a point to travel to Wickliffe for a brocha from Rav Chaim. A Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok chossid from Yerushalayim once came to Rav Chaim with his child, who was suffering from a serious heart defect. As they sat around the Rosh Yeshiva’s table, the rebbetzin brought out some drinks and refreshments, while the Rosh Yeshiva offered his heartfelt brachos and divrei chizuk. Rav Chaim took a sip from his glass. The chossid politely requested that the Rosh Yeshiva allow him and his son to partake from the shirayim left over in Rav Chaim’s glass. With a broad smile, Rav Chaim graciously acquiesced. He knew how much this meant to this poor, suffering father.
Rav Chaim would say that the unprecedented kibbutz galuyos that exists in America today is an overly positive phenomenon. He would note how all of the unique groups in Klal Yisroel ultimately enhance each other by contributing their individual qualities. He said that until he came to America, he never experienced the uplifting nature of eating Shalosh Se’udos as a group. “The concept of eating together with dibbuk chaverim is something we’ve acquired from the chassidim,” he would say.
Rav Chaim had a keen understanding of how to reach the heart of all types of yidden, regardless of their background. He was fond of relating an innovative teitch from the saintly Belzer Rav zt”l, on the words of the possuk, “S’mach Zevulun betzeisecha v’yissochor be’ohalecha.” When can Zevulun rejoice in his financial success; when he himself is a Yissochor in his own tent.
When people would ask for segulos, he would say that the only protection in the world is Torah and chesed. “We are currently in the era of ikvesa dimeshicha,” he would say. The gemara says; what should a person do to protect themselves from the suffering of Chevlei Moshiach. Ya’asok BeTorah ugemilus chasodim. The only way to protect our families and our children from the pervasive influences of the street is through learning Torah and performing chesed. The only defense against the unbearable tragedies of our time is to acquire these powerful zechusim.

GABY LOCK SAYS:
THIS IS WHAT IS MISSING  BY US YIDDEN TO DAY.
THE FRUM PERSON WANTS TO FORCE THE NOT-FRUM PERSON
AND THE NOT-FRUM PERSON WANTS TO FORCE THE FRUM PERSON.
AS A FRUM PERSON I WANT MY WAY.
BUT I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NOT-FRUM PERSON WANTS HIS WAY.
THE FIRST MOVE IS TO UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE ONE NATION
AND  LEARN A BIT OF LOVING EACH OTHER.
 IT SHOULD NOT BE LIKE THE PAST WHEN THE GOYIM HATED US
THE FRUM PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE NOT-FRUM PEOPLE
AS THEY  HAVE NEVER LEARNED TORAH.
THE NOT-FRUM  PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE FRUM PEOPLE,
 THAT WE ARE JEWS AND WE HAVE  TO KEEP THE TORAH.
AT  LEAST LEARN TORAH AND FIND OUT WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.

NETUREI KARTA

In the letter to Police Chief Yohanan Danino, members of Neturei Karta asked the police to assist them in stopping buses from entering their neighborhood, according to Channel 2. The letter is significant because Neturei Karta does not recognize the State of Israel or any authorities. 
In the letter, they claimed that buses create smoke and air pollution, and pose a danger to their children on the narrow streets of the neighborhood. Last week, during a demonstration against the buses, a man overturned his stroller with his toddler still inside in order to protest the danger for the neighborhood kids.

GABY LOCK SAYS:
THE BEIS YISROEL SAID ON THE NETUREI KARTA
I AM THE NETUREI KARTA,
THEY ARE THE MACRIVEY KARTA.
THE SECOND REASON IS TRUE POLLUTION AND DANGER TO THE CHILDREN
ON THE NARROW STREETS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALL TRAFFIC SHOULD BE BANNED.
THE MAN WHO OVERTURNED THE STROLLER
SHOULD HAVE HIS CHILDREN TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM ! !

IS THIS OIL GOOD FOR CHANUKCAH

Olive Pomace Oil is the oil that is extracted from the olive pulp after the first press. Once the mechanical oil extraction of olive oil is complete approximately 5-8% of the oil remains in the pulp, which then needs to be extracted with the help of solvents, an industrial technique used in the production of most other edible oils including Canola, Groundnut,Sunflower, etc. Although the oil extracted in this manner is still olive oil, at retail it may not be simply called “Olive Oil”. This is because the International Olive Oil Council defines Olive Oil as “the oil obtained solely from the fruit of the olive tree, to the exclusion of oils obtained using solvents or re-esterification processes” [1]
Chemically, Olive Pomace Oil is quite similar to olive oil with respect to acid composition, rendering it the same health benefits when cooked.

GABY LOCK SAYS
THIS OIL WAS SUFFICIENT FOR ONLY ONE DAY,
BUT WHEN THEY LIT THE MENORAH WITH IT
IT LASTED FOR EIGHT DAYS,
UNTIL THEY POUNDED OLIVES AND EXTRACTED PURE OIL.

Yerushalayim: Bus Segregation War Continues
(Sunday, December 18th, 2011)

A woman passenger on a public bus from Ashdod to Jerusalem Friday was told by an ultra-Orthodox male passenger to move to the back of the bus. The man held the door of the bus open and would not allow it to move for approximately 30 minutes.
When other passengers began to complain about the delay, the driver called the police. The policeman who arrived on the scene spoke with the man and then also asked the woman, Tanya Rosenblit, to move to the back of the bus. When she refused, the man who had been holding the door alighted and the bus continued on its way.

GABY LOCK SAYS:
WHY DO YOU NOT GIVE THE NAME OF THE MAN ?
 A REALLY ULTRA-ORTHODOX MAN WOULD NOT EVEN HAVE SEEN THE WOMAN ! !
THE LEV SHIMCH TOLD ME BEFORE MY WEDDING ,THAT A JEWISH WOMEN IS THE FOUNDATION OF A  JEWISH HOUSEHOLD.
AN ORTHODOX WOMAN ,IS NOT IF SHE SITS IN THE BACK OF THE BUS.
BUT HOW SHE BEHAVES AT HOME TO HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN.
THIS KIND OF TZNIOUS COMES FROM THE GOYIM.
I HOPE THOUSENDS OF WOMEN WILL TAKE AN EXAMPLE FROM TANYA ROSENBLIT.

LET HIM TALK

Grandson Of Maran Rav Elyashiv Says Statement Regarding Segregation Was Lie & Must Be Refuted

YWN published a report on Wednesday -from the Israel Hayom Daily - regarding a statment that Maran Hagon Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv Shlita made regarding enforcing the gender segregation on buses in Eretz Yisroel.
Today, that report is being called a lie by the Posek Hador’s grandson.

GABY LOCK SAYS:
HE IS ALIVE, LETS ASK HIM.
THATS WHAT'S WRONG  WITH THE ORTHODOX COMMUNITY.
EVERYONE WANTS HIS WAY.
THEY DO NOT WANT TO ASK HIM
ONLY STATEMENTS FROM THIS ONE AND THAT ONE.
EACH  ONE WANTS THEIR WAY.! !

The Jerusalem Municipality was forced to disqualify the local election for community council in the Mea Shearim neighborhood on Tuesday after extremists stormed the counting room and destroyed some of the ballots.
A new election will be held at a later date, the municipality decided on Thursday following the recommendations of the judge overseeing the elections.
Nearly 13,000 residents of Jerusalem took part in local elections to choose representatives for the community councils in four neighborhoods. Approximately 17% of eligible residents voted in the neighborhoods of Gilo, Greater Baka, South/Katamon, and the Buharim Quarter, which includes Mea Shaarim.

GABY LOCK SAYS:
HERE IT IS AGAIN, THERE ARE GEDOLIM  FOR ELECTIONS AND GEDOLIM AGAINST.
BUT SPECIALLY ORTHODOX JEWISH PEOPLE
DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER AND FORCE THEIR OPINION.

MEN AND WOMEN

“Reb Elyashiv feels that it is laudable for a private company to separate men and women, but it is impossible to obligate a public company to adopt this standard.  You can attempt to persuade them, you can explain to them that it is a wise financial move, but you cannot force a public company to do something like this,” said Chaim Cohen, a long time aide to Reb Elyashiv.

RAB ELYASHIV HAS HIS GUIDELINES FROM THE TORAH.
IF HE SAYS YOU CAN NOT OBLIGATE A PUBLIC COMPANY
TO ADOPT THIS STANDARD,
WHICH MEANS TO GO WITHIN THE LINE OF THE LAW,
BUT THE TORAH LAW DOES NOT OBLIGATE A COMPANY TO DO THIS.
OUR TZNIUS AND YIDDISHKEIT COMES FROM THE TORAH
AND NOT FROM ZEALOTS.

G=D

Seeking to extricate its mosdos from the fiscal abyss, the Chernobyl chassidus is offering a Shabbos with the rebbe shlita in a private facility at the cost of $5,000 a person. The special Shabbos Parshas Toldos is limited to 30 people who can afford this and wish to take part, adding it will take place in Tzfat.
According to a Chadrei Chareidim report, each of the participants will during the course of Shabbos have private time with the rebbe, during which time they will receive a bracha and have an opportunity to consult with him.

GABY LOCK FROM LONDON SAYS:
THIS IS NOT A JEWISH IDEA IT COMES FROM THE GOYIM.
AS EVERY JEW IS NEAR TO G=D AS IT SAYS IN OUR PRAYERS
"HASHEM IS CLOSE TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM "
BUT IT MUST BE IN SINCERETY.

YIDDISHKEI​T

Yiddishkeit is keeping the Torah that's what made us into Jews.
On the Internet you can see things
that a Jewish person should not watch.
The same is in newspapers etc, etc,.

A frum Jew is a person who learns Torah and that gets him or her a clean mind.
A person in his lifetime will go up and down
but this does not make a person less Jewish
as that is the purpose of life.
To overcome your tests.

IT IS INTERESTING THAT ON THE INTERNET YOU GET WEB SITES VIDEOSFROM EVERY FRUM ORGANISATION  AND SPECIALLY CHASSIDIC ONES.
THE RABBONIM AND RABBIS PUT UP NOTICES
YOU SHOULD NOT WATCH INTERNET.
BUT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THEM? ?

WHAT IS LOVE

I MADE A PROGRAM FOR THE BBC WITH MY WIFE
EXPLAINING WHAT IS LOVE.
WE HAVE A BAD UNDERSTANDING OF LOVE IN THE FRUM WORLD
AND OF COURSE IN THE NON-FRUM AND GOYISHE WORLD.

LOVE IS WHEN TWO PEOPLE FEEL CONNECTED WITH ONE ANOTHER.
THIS IS A SPIRITUAL CONNECTION WHICH G=D PUTS INTO A PERSON.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PHYSICAL ATTRACTION,
WHICH WE CALL LOVE.
THE SPIRITUAL CONNECTION STAYS EVEN  AFTER
THE PHYSICAL CONNECTION  HAS PASSED.

THIS JOB OF EXPLAINING REAL MARRIAGE BELONGS TO
THE RABBONIM.
BUT MOST OF THEM DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS
AS THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT THE LOVE OF A PARTNER
IS THERE TO TEACH YOU TO LOVE G=D.

TZOROS BY YIDEN

I SIT ON THE SIDELINES AND WATCH WITH A BROKEN HEART,
WHAT IS HAPPENING BY YIDEN.
I DO NOT OPEN MY MOUTH
AS THERE ARE NOT ANY EARS WHO WANT TO LISTEN.

IF WE WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF DIVORCES
WE HAVE TO RAISE THE AGE
A BOY GETS MARRIED AT 21 AND A GIRL A BIT YOUNGER AT 20.
ALSO A BOY AND A GIRL SHOULD GO TO A
RABBI OR PSYCHOLOGIST
TO SEE IF THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THIS IS A LIFE TIME OF BENDING TO EACH OTHER'S WAY.

I WATCH SO MANY COUPLES IN THE SHOPS WITH MY WIFE.
ONE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE OTHER ABOUT
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF LIFE
AND "OY VAY " THE POOR CHILDREN THEY HAVE BROUGHT INTO THIS WORLD.

ONE PERSON TOLD ME I SHOULD NEVER HAVE LISTENED TO
MY PARENTS AND GOT MARRIED SO YOUNG.
A FEW YEARS OLDER AND I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF GETTING MARRIED.
MY STUPID PARENTS PUSHED AND PUSHED
AND IN THE END I GOT DIVORCED.
THANK G=D I HAD NO CHILDREN.

BUT WHEN THERE ARE CHILDREN THEY USE THEM AS WEAPONS.
IN THE DIVORCE NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE CHILDREN,
EACH SIDE JUST WANTS TO WIN.
BUT HOW MANY COUPLES ARE LIVING TOGETHER UNHAPPY ?
NOT WANTING TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER PERSON
AND THE POOR CHILDREN WATCH THIS EVERY DAY.
THIS IS NOT A LETTER BUT A PRAYER
TO OUR G=D IN HEAVEN, AMEN. !

HERE AND THERE

JOE LOBENSTEIN WRITES IN LAST WEEKS TRIBUNE 24TH NOVEMBER 2011:
"IT IS OVER THREE  WEEKS SINCE THE LAMENTED PETIRAH OF THE MIRER ROSH YESHIVA,
YET NOT A WORD IN THE JEWISH CHRONICLE ."
THE OLD RAV PADVAH  ZT,L. TOLD YOU OVER FORTY YEARS AGO
NOT TO HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO THE BOARD OF DEPUTIES
AND IT ASSOCIATES.

AND YOU ,STUPID FOOL, WITH A WITH A FEW OTHER PEOPLE,
STILL LOOK UP TO THE ENGLISH JEWISH PEOPLE.
AND RUN AFTER THEM AND SHOW INTEREST IN THEM.
WHAT DO THEY KNOW OF TORAH AND A TORAH YID.

YOU ARE OVER EIGHTY AND IT IS TIME
YOU LEARNED AND TAUGHT THE YOUNGER AGUDA LEADERS
WHO ARE THE LEADERS OF KALAL YISROEL
AND WHAT ARE THE VALUES OF A FRUM TORAH LIFE.
WE NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
NOT THE JEWISH CHRONICLE THE CHIEF RABBI AND HIS ASSOCIATES.

WE HAVE A GREAT G=D

NEARLY TWENTY YEARS AGO FOR ROSH HASHANA
I WENT TO UMAN.
I WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.
AT THAT TIME THERE WERE NOT EVEN 5000 PEOPLE
THERE FOR ROSH HASHANA.

ONE DAY A MAN DRESSED ALL IN WHITE GOT UP ON A TABLE
AND STARTED SHOUTING:
" WE HAVE GOT A GREAT G=D
WE HAVE GOT A GREAT G=D! ! "
I ASKED HIM WHY.
HE SAID ," I WAS BORN AND LIVED IN UMAN
WHEN THE GERMANS CAME, THEY  MADE US DIG A BIG HOLE
AND SHOT US ALL INTO THE HOLE.

I WAS ALSO SHOT AND FELL INTO THE HOLE.
I THOUGHT I WAS DEAD EVEN THOUGH I COULD MOVE,
I THOUGHT ALL DEAD PEOPLE COULD MOVE
I NEVER KNEW WHAT DEAD WAS,
AFTER A WHILE I  REALISED THAT THE GERMANS HAD
MISSED AND I WAS ALIVE.
I GOT OUT OF THE HOLE AND I AM HERE TODAY TO TELL THE TALE.

IF OUR G=D CAN SHOW THAT AFTER SUCH A DESTRUCTION,
5000 PEOPLE CAN COME TO UMAN FOR ROSH  HASHANA
THEN WE HAVE A GREAT G=D ! !
WHEN I SEE TODAY ON  THE INTERNET
THE REBUILDING OF PAST CHASSDIC HOUSES AND
100,000 TORAH LEARNING JEWS BY THE FUNERAL OF RABBI FINKEL
WE HAVE A GREAT GREAT G=D! ! .

JEWS

THE CHASSIDSHE AND LITVISHE ORGANISATIONS REMIND ME
OF FOOTBALL CLUBS IN ENGLAND.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP THEM APART,
ONE CLUB CAN NOT SEE THE OTHER WIN
SO THE FANS FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER.
I AM SURE AN  ARSENAL GIRL WILL NOT MARRY
A TOTTENHAM BOY OR VISE VERSE.
AND IF THEY DO, THE PARENTS WILL NOT TALK TO EACH OTHER.

IT SEEMS THE SAME IS IN CHASSIDISHE
OR LITVISHE YESHIVOS.
ARE WE ALL  NOT SERVING THE SAME G=D?
I AM MOCKING AS I READ AND HEAR FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE WORLD AN INTOLERANCE
OF ONE ORTHODOX  JEW TO HIS FELLOW MAN.
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NON RELIGIOUS
THEY HATE THE ORTHODOX ANYHOW.
WE WANT THE NON JEW TO LIKE US?

THE JEWISH PEOPLE

I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS,
TRAVELING AND MEETING JEWISH PEOPLE,
FRUM, AND NOT FRUM,
RELIGIOUS, AND NOT RELIGIOUS,
ONE THING THAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON IS
THE IGNORANCE OF WHAT IS A JEW.

WHAT MAKES US INTO A JEWISH NATION IS
THAT WE HAVE A SAYING IN THE JEWISH WORLD,
I HEARD THIS FROM MY REBBE ZT,L
"IF YOU DO NOT LEARN, YOU DO NOT KNOW ".
IF YOU DO NOT LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A CAR
YOU CAN NOT DRIVE, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN.
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU  ARE NOT ORTHODOX,CHASIDISH.
OR OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT LEARN
YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BE A JEW,
WHAT G=D IS, AND WHAT HE WANTS FROM US.

THAT IS WHY THE NUMBER ONE THING
WE HAVE TO DO IS LEARN TORAH HOW TO BE A JEW.
I SEE LOTS OF RELIGIOUS AND  NON RELIGIOUS JEWS
THINKING THEY ARE PRACTICING THE JEWISH RELIGION
WHICH THEY HAVE LEARNED FROM THEIR FATHERS HOME.
THAT HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE JEWISH RELIGION AT ALL.

NETUREI KARTA

IN NEW YORK THE NETUREI KARTA WERE DEMONSTRATING
OUTSIDE THE U.N. AGAINST ISRAEL,
A REPORTER CAME UP TO THEM AND ASKED THEM
AS THEY WERE JEWISH AND FRUM;
"YOU PRAY THREE TIMES EVERY DAY TO G=D,
MAY OUR EYES BEHOLD YOUR RETURN TO ZION ".
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE ISRAELIS ARE DOING.

THE  NETUREI KARTA MAN REPLIED:
"THAT WILL ONLY BE WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES."
THE REPORTER ASKED WHEN WILL THE MESSIAH COME ?
THE NETUREI KARTA MAN REPLIED
WE ANTICIPATE EVERY DAY THAT HE WILL COME,
AS WE SAY IN OUR PRAYERS:
"I BELIEVE WITH COMPLETE FAITH IN THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH ."
THE REPORTER SAID TO HIM :
SO YOUR AIM IS EXACTLY THE SAME,
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND THE ISRAELIS IS TIME ! !

GEDOLIM

I AM VERY UPSET THAT WE HAVE NO GEDOLIM OR RABONIM
TO LOOK UP TO TO-DAY.
LITVISHE, CHASIDISHE,
TAKE A LOOK AT SATMAR HOW CAN I LOOK UP TO THEM ?
THE TWO BROTHERS ARE FIGHTING.

BOBOV, THE TWO RABBIS ARE FIGHTING.
AND VISNITZ AND GER HAVE THERE OWN PROBLEMS.
BELZ HAVE HAD  PROBLEMS FOR YEARS.
I FORGOT PONEVEZ  AND OTHER LITVISHE YESHIVOTH.

I WOULD RATHER ADMIT THAT WE HAVE NO GEDOLIM TO-DAY
AND THEY ARE JUST THE SAME AS ORDINARY PEOPLE.
I DO NOT FIND ANYBODY WHO I CAN LOOK UP TO.
ALL THE EMPHASISE IS PUT ON TO CLOTH ETC,ETC,
BEHAVIOUR AND MIDDOS BEN ADOM LECHAVRO THE RABBONIM
DO NOT HAVE IT, SO HOW SHOULD THE CHASDDIM ? ? ?

BUT THEN I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY CAN'T BE GEDOLIM IN EVERY
POINT IN THEIR LIFE.
THEY CAN BE GEDOLIM IN ONE MIDAH OR BEHAVIOUR
OF THEIR LIVES.
EG: TZDOKA, LEARNING TORAH, LOVING ANOTHER JEW,
BUT IN THIS POINT WE HAVE LOTS OF JEWS WHO ARE GEDOLIM
EVEN IF THEY DO NOT COME FROM A REBBISHE OR RABBONUS
ORIGIN.

A JEW PRAYS AND BELIEVES IN G=D DIRECT.
NOT IN THINGS OR PEOPLE.

THERE ARE ADVERTS WHICH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
WHY THEY HAD TO PUT IN AN ADVERT,
SUCH AS SATMAR GIRLS CAMP;
ALL LOST PROPERTY WILL BE KEPT UNTIL
RHOSH  HASHONA.
DO THEY WANT TO INFORM US HOW GOOD
SATMAR  IS? ?
THAT THEY HAD A GIRL'S CAMP.

JUST TO RETURN THE LOST PROPERTY TO THE GIRLS
GIVE THEM A NOTE WHEN THEY LEAVE CAMP,
THAT MRS LANDAU HAS GOT THE LOST PROPERTY.
I AM SURE THAT THE CAMP IS SUPPORTED BY TZDOKA MONEY
AND THESE ADVERTS COST A LOT.

PEOPLE ARE SPENDING A LOT AND THE CHILDREN  HAVE
NO  SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY ! !
I HOPE THEY HAVE THE MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING,
NOT LIKE SOMEONE I KNOW WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT
A CREDIT CARD HAS TO BE PAID BACK AND YOU OWE THE MONEY.

DENOMINATO​R

THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IN LIFE TO-DAY
BY GOYIM OR YIDEN IS SECURITY IN LIFE,
YOUR JOB, PENSION, YOUR CHILDREN SCHOOLS, SHIDUCHIM
AND LAST BUT AND NOT LEAST IS YOUR PARTNER.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND IN TO-DAY'S WORLD
FROM THE WEATHER TO FINANCE, WE FEEL THAT
G=D DOES NOT WANT THAT WE SHOULD FEEL SECURE,ONLY IN HIM.
AS IS WRITTEN IN OUR PRAYERS AND WE SAY THIS EVERY DAY:
"YOU ALONE,FOREVER, SHIELD AND SAVIOR FOR THEM AND FOR THEIR
CHILDREN IN EVERY GENERATION. "
THAT WE BELIEVE IN G=D AND RELY ON HIM IS THE DUTY OF EVERY JEW
AND NON-JEW ON THIS WORLD.
A JEW HAS AN ADDITIONAL 613 MITZVOS
WHEN I COME TO LOOK AT WHAT G=D IS DOING IN TO-DAY'S WORLD
THROUGH ACTS OF G=D AND ACTS OF MAN,

WE HAVE TO KNOW ALL OUR TRUST AND SECURITY  .
IS IN G=D'S  HANDS.
THAT IS WHY FROM ROSH HASHANAH TO YOM KIPPUR
WE SAY IN OUR PRAYERS: " HOLY KING ( HAMELACH )"
AND IF FORGOTTEN, WE HAVE TO REPEAT THE SHEMONEH ESREI.

THERE WAS A QUESTION ASKED IN LAST WEEK'S LONDON JEWISH NEWS
15/9/2011 ASK THE RABBI
WHY HAS ANTI-SEMITISM BEEN AROUND SO LONG ?
THE ANSWER AS I HAVE EXPLAINED ABOVE IS QUITE SIMPLE.
THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP JEWISH PEOPLE, JEWISH.
REMINDING THEM THAT THEIR DUTY IS TO DEPEND ON G=D
AND PRAY TO HIM ! !

G=D HAS SET THEM APART FROM ALL
AND THE WORLD HATES THEM.
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS WEALTH,  POWER,  CHOSEN PEOPLE.
SCAPEGOAT,  KILLED JESUS,  DIFFERENT,  INFERIOR,
G=D WANTS SPECIALLY THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO KNOW THEY
ARE JEWISH AND NEED G=D.

THROUGH THE YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN
TERRIBLE WAYS OF REMINDING US.
BUT THE REST OF THE WORLD HAVE ALSO A DUTY
TO BELIEVE IN G=D
AND THEY ARE GETTING THEIR REMINDER THROUGH EARTH QUAKES
AND TSUNAMIS THE WEATHER ETC,ETC,

THE ADVANTAGE OF CD AND TAPES

AS THE HOLY DAYS AND THE NEW YEAR COMES NEARER
THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CDS AND TAPES
IS TREMENDOUS.

I LISTEN TO MUSIC AND THE WORDS
AND DANCE IN MY KITCHEN AND PRAY TO G=D
THAT IN THE NEW YEAR HE WILL BRING ME NEARER TO HIM.

THAT'S WHAT ROSH HASHONA AND YOM KIPUR ARE ALL ABOUT.
LISTEN AND LEARN THE TRANSLATION OF THE PRAYERS.
TEARS WILL STROLL DOWN YOUR CHEEKS.

WHEN YOU REALISE ALL THAT G=D WANTS IS YOU SHOULD NEED HIM
I KNOW THAT IT IS EASIER AND LESS EMBARRASSING
TO DANCE AND PRAY TO G=D IN MY KITCHEN.
BUT I AM SURE THAT G=D LISTENS TO MY PRAYERS AND TEARS
EVEN IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE NEW YEAR
AS THEY COME FROM THE HEART.

THE PAST

AS I GET OLDER B.H. AND WE START GETTING NEARER
TO THE END OF THIS YEAR AND THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT,
I ALWAYS REMINISCE ABOUT LIFE AND REMEMBER STORIES OF THE PAST.

MY BROTHER AND I WERE ALWAYS KNOWN AS THE " TERRIBLE TWINS".
MY FATHER WAS VERY EMBARRASSED WITH US
BUT  MY STEP- MOTHER WAS NOT .
SHE UNDERSTOOD OUR HONESTY AND TRUTH
AND THAT WE HATED PEOPLE WHO LIED.

I THINK WE WERE SIX OR SEVEN AND EVERY YEAR OUR
FAMILY  USED TO GO
FOR THE PESACH  SEDER TO MY GRANDFATHER.  
MY GRANDFATHER USED TO RUN THE SEDER
AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE AFIKOMAN FOR THE CHILDREN TO STEAL.

MY GRANDMOTHER ,WHO WAS AN UNFAIR PERSON
AND WAS SITING AT THE TABLE NEXT TO MY GRANDFATHER,
TOOK THE AFIKOMAN AND GAVE IT TO ONE OF HER FAVORITE GRANDCHILDREN.
MY BROTHER AND I,WHEN WE SAW THIS DISHONESTY,
WE WOULD NOT LET THE SEDER CONTINUE AND DISRUPTED THE SEDER.
MY UNCLE WANTED TO GIVE BOTH OF US A PRESENT AS IF WE HAD
GOT THE AFIKOMAN,
BUT WE DID NOT WANT THAT,
WE WANTED TRUTH AND HONESTY.

THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND US THEN AS TWO TRUTHFUL BOYS
AND I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND US TO-DAY.
WHEN PRAYING TO G=D YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TRUTHFUL MOUTH
AND BE AN HONEST PERSON IN ALL YOUR DEEDS OF LIFE.

THE RABBIS TELL US

THE RABBIS TELL US THAT JUST LIKE OUR FACES
ARE NOT THE SAME,
OUR MINDS AND BRAINS ARE NOT THE SAME EITHER.
THE QUESTION IS WE ALL KNOW THAT OUR FACES
AND MINDS ARE NOT THE SAME.
THE ANSWER IS:
THAT JUST LIKE OUR FACES ARE NOT THE SAME AND
I DO NOT CARE THAT YOU DO NOT LOOK LIKE ME,
I SHOULD NOT CARE WHEN YOU DO NOT THINK LIKE ME.

IN TO-DAYS JEWISH SOCIETY ORTHODOX OR NONE-ORTHODOX
WE HAVE A TORAH,WHICH TELLS US THE DUTY OF EVERY JEW
AND WHAT HIS PURPOSE IS IN THIS PASSING LIFE.
SOME PEOPLE PUT DOWN CERTAIN RULES AS BEING JEWISH
SUCH AS A DRESS CODE,
OR BEING A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR.
BUT THIS IS NOT REALLY FROM THE 613 MITZVOS.

I LOOK INTO THE TORAH
AND WITH A DEEPER MIND AND A DIFFERENT FACE
WHAT DOES G=D REALLY WANT FROM ME IN THIS WORLD
AND WHAT IS MY PURPOSE OF LIVING ?
I UNDERSTAND THAT G=D HAS NOT GIVEN THIS DEEPER MIND
TO EVERYONE,BUT I ASK, PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB ME.

THE YEAR

IN STAMFORD HILL'S FRUM COMMUNITY,
AN AVERAGE OF FIFTY PEOPLE DIE A YEAR,

ASK THE CHEVRE KADISA.
BUT ONE THING IS SURE, THAT PEOPLE
FROM A HUNDRED YEARS AGO ARE NOT HERE TO-DAY.
SO WE MUST SAY THAT THE PURPOSE OF LIVING,
IS NOT TO STAY PERMANENTLY ON THIS WORLD.

AS A YID I LOOK AT THIS WORLD AS A PLACE WE PASS THROUGH,
WE ARE ALL GIVEN CERTAIN TESTS OF HOW TO BEHAVE
TO OTHER PEOPLE AND  SPECIALLY TO YOUR PARTNER.
RICH OR POOR WE ALL, SADLY, HAVE TO GO.

WHEN IT COMES TO ROSH HASHONO
I LOOK AT MYSELF HOW HAVE I SPENT THIS PASSED
YEAR, LIVING MY LIFE.
LOOKING AT MYSELF KNOWING THAT THIS IS NOT YOUR
PERMANENT HOME, I AM ONLY PASSING THROUGH.
HAVE I USED MY TIME THIS PASSED YEAR WITH THIS THOUGHT IN MIND ?
OR HAVE I JUST TRIED TO ACCUMULATE MORE MONEY, OR
BETTER LIVING ACCOMMODATION, AS IF I AM STAYING HERE FOR EVER ?
G=D KNOWS YOU CAN NOT BE PERFECT,
BUT DO YOU KNOW THAT ?

HAVE I SPENT MY YEAR SPREADING ABOUT THAT THERE IS 
A G=D AND WE HAVE TO KEEP THE MITZVOS  AND LEARN TORAH
OR IS MY LIFE FULL THAT I ONLY DO MITZVOS AND LEARN
AND I AM EMBRACED TO GO TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD
AND TELL THEM WHAT OUR DUTY AS A JEW IS.
I WILL ONLY DO BUSINESS WITH THEM,
IS THAT THE PURPOSE G=D GIVES  LIFE ?
I HOPE WE WILL CHANGE OUR ATTITUDES IN THE YEAR TO COME. 

FREED BOCHUR BACK HOME

FREED BOCHUR BACK HOME !
WHEN I READ THESE HEADLINES IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE AND
ALL THE OTHER ORTHODOX NEWSPAPERS ARE ALL THE SAME,
IF THE EFFORT, TIME AND MONEY SPENT ON GETTING THIS
BOCHUR BACK FROM JAPAN , ( WHICH WAS HIS OWN FAULT )
WOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT ON HELPING BOYS, GIRLS
AND FAMILIES.
THERE WOULD BE VERY LITTLE PROBLEMS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THAN OUR COMMUNITY PICTURE WOULD HAVE BEEN AS ROSY
AS THE ORTHODOX PAPERS MAKE IT APPEAR.
I AM ASTONISHED THAT THE RABBONIM AND ASKONIM IN THE FRUM JEWISH
COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD ARE BLIND TO THE PROBLEMS
THAT WE ,THE ORTHODOX PEOPLE FACE,
IN OUR CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

NUMBER ONE: HOUSING.
LOTS OF ORTHODOX JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE HOUSES AND BLOCKS
OF FLATS IN STAMFORD HILL,
THERE IS A RICH FAMILY WHOM I KNOW
WOULD RATHER LEAVE THE BLOCK OF HOUSES EMPTY,
THEN HELP A FAMILY NOT TO LIVE IN SQUALOR.

I HAVE SEEN HOW SOME OF THESE FAMILIES LIVE WITH SIX OR MORE CHILDREN.
I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED WHEN IN YEARS TO COME THE RABBONIM
WILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BIRTH CONTROL.
AS LOTS OF PARENTS COME TO ME THAT THE SCHOOLS
JUST REFUSE TO TAKE IN THEIR CHILDREN
AND THE PARENTS LIVES' BECOMES A MISERY.

THEY FIGHT BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO LIVE IN
THE HOUSE.
THE CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE A SCHOOL TO GO TO
THEN THEY  RUN TO COUNSELLORS AND RABBONIM.
BUT IT IS TOO LATE THE ROT HAS SET IN.

PLEASE RABBONIM AND ASKONIM
DO NOT WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT THE BOYS IN JAPAN
THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME TO WRITE IT
AND IT IS THE WHOLE TRUTH, OPEN YOUR EYES AND
LOOK AROUND YOU.

THE BIG SIMCHA

THE ORTHODOX JEWISH MEDIA,
 ASKANIM , SPECIALLY AHARON NEZRI,
 THE HAMODIA, ARE MAKING A CELEBRITY OF
THIS BOY RETURNING FROM JAPAN.
WE FORGET THAT YOEL ZEV GOLDSTEIN,
HAS BEEN THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN A
JAPANESE PRISON.

DO YOU THINK HE IS A NORMAL PERSON AFTER
SUCH AN ORDEAL ? ? ?
WHAT IS AHARON NEZRI SO EXCITED ABOUT ?
THERE IS STILL ANOTHER BOY IN PRISON IN JAPAN.
 HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TILL HE GETS HOME
AND LOOK HOW MUCH  MONEY IT HAS COST.
ON THESE STUPID BOYS' BEHAVIOUR,
FOR GOING TO JAPAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THEY ARE NO HEROES ! !

WHEN WILL WE LEARN,THAT THE JAPANESE ARE NOT LIKE US.
HE RECEIVED A DEPORTATION ORDER,
FROM THE JAPANES IMMIGRATION POLICE,
FOR HAVING OVERSTAYED HIS VISA.
THEY BEHAVE LIKE SODOM.
HE CAN MAKE A BARUCH MATIR ASSURIM BUT
HE NEEDS A LOT OF HELP TO OVERCOME THIS ORDEAL.

TROUBLES

FROM THE PEN OF FRADEL BERGER 1929-1983

                         TROUBLES


                You're worried and troubled
                About everything
                Wondering and fearing     
                What tomorrow will bring


               You long to tell someone
               For you feel so alone
               But  your friends are all burdened
               With cares of their own


               There is only one place
               And only ONE FRIEND
               Who is never too busy
               And you can only depend


               That HE will be waiting
               With arms open wide
               To hear all your troubles
               That you come to confide


               For our holy Al-mighty
               Will always be there
               When you seek HIM you find HIM
               In your daily prayer 

HAPPINESS

FROM THE PEN OF FRADEL BERGER   1929-1983

                                Everybody everywhere
                                Seeks happiness it is true
                                But finding it and keeping it
                                Seems difficult to do


                                Difficult because we think
                                That happiness is found
                                Only in places where
                                Wealth and fame abound


                                 And so we go on searching
                                 In palaces of pleasure
                                 Seeking recognition
                                 And monetary treasure


                                  Unaware that happiness
                                  Is just a state of mind
                                  Within the reach of everyone
                                  Who takes time to be kind


                                  For in making others HAPPY
                                  We will be happy too
                                  For the happiness you give away
                                  Returns to " shine on you"

TORAH

I LOVE LEARNING TORAH,
SHASS AND POSKIM THAT IS
MY BIGGEST DREAM OF LIFE.

IN LAST WEEK'S PARSHA, RE'EH IT STARTS:
" BEHOLD I SET BEFORE YOU A BLESSING AND A CURSE.
THE BLESSING.
IF YOU LISTEN TO THE COMMANDMENTS,
THE CURSE,
IF YOU SHALL NOT  LISTEN TO THE COMMANDMENTS."
RE'EH WRITTEN IN THE SINGULAR,
LIFNEICHEM  WRITTEN IN THE PLURAL.
IF ONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY  TO REBUKE,
A GROUP ( PLURAL ) THAT WILL PROBABLY NOT LISTEN,
HE SHOULD DO IT REGARDLESS THE UNLIKELY CHANCE
THAT ONE PERSON ( SINGULAR ) MIGHT BE INSPIRED.

THE TORAH TELLS US TO REFRAIN FROM DOING THINGS,
DISTANCE OURSELVES FROM THE PRACTICES OF NON-JEWS.
AN EXAMPLE: IT MAY BE THAT IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR US TO
PLANT TREES TO DECORATE OUR SHULS,
BECAUSE OF THE PROHIBITION OF FOLLOWING THE
STATUTES OF THE NON-JEWS.

INDEED IN HIS TESHUVOS THE MAHARSHAM RULES
THAT,FOR THIS REASON, IN AREAS WHERE THE NON-JEWS
HAVE SUCH A PRACTICE IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR JEWS TO
PLANT TREES.

MY QUESTION TO THE RABBIS AND RABBONIM,
WHY DO THEY NOT SHOW THE WAY
SPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO HOLIDAYS.
NOT FOLLOWING THE WAY OF THE NON-JEWS.
EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE IS WITH YIREI SHAMAYIM
AND MESIRUS NEFESH OF SELF SACRIFICE
TO PASS ON THE MESSAGE OF G=D
OF TORAH  AND MITZVOS,
TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. 

THE ROSH YESHIVA

YEARS AGO I WENT TO A SEED MEETING IN
HASMONEAN HIGH SCHOOL IN HENDON.
THERE WERE OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE THERE
ABOUT 600 MEN AND 500 WOMEN.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE SPEAKER, THE FAMOUS
MANCHESTER ROSH YESHIVA RABBI SEGAL. ZT,L
HE STARTED OF HIS DROSHE:
"YOU MAKE A BROCHER EVERY DAY:
BLESSED ARE YOU, HASHEM, OUR G=D KING OF THE UNIVERSE,
FOR NOT HAVING MADE ME A GENTILE."
THE ROSH YESHIVA SHOUTED FOR OVER TWENTY MINUTES
THE BROCHE YOU MAKE IS A LIE,
A BROCHE LEVATOLA.

YOU DO NOT MEAN IT ! !
YOU COPY THE GOYIM,
YOU BEHAVE LIKE THEM !
YOU RESPECT THE GOY'S LIFE
YOU WANT TO BE A GOY ! !
HE DID NOT GO INTO DETAILS.
HE ONLY SHOUTED THIS FOR TWENTY MINUTES,
"YOU WANT TO BE A GOY!"

I MUST TELL YOU THAT IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
SPECIALLY EVERY MORNING WHEN I MAKE THIS BROCHE
I WANT TO BE A YID ! !

IF I WERE I

THE KOTZKER REBBE SAID ABOUT LIFE:
"IF I WERE I AND YOU WERE YOU,
THEN I WOULD BE I AND YOU WOULD BE YOU.
BUT IF I AM I  BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU ,
AND YOU ARE YOU BECAUSE I AM I,
THEN I AM NOT I.
AND YOU ARE NOT YOU."

IF YOU COME TO THINK OF IT GUR
WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TO-DAY
THE HERITAGE OF KOTZK,
NOT ONLY GER HAS DRIFTED FAR AWAY
FROM THE ORIGINAL CHASSIDUS.
BUT OTHER CHASSIDIC DYNASTIES
HAVE DRIFTED AWAY FROM THE 
ORIGINAL CHASIDUS.
THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE LEFT,
IS THE WAY THEY DRESS.

THE SAME AS WE ARE SO IMPRESSED BY THE GOYISHE
WORLD, LIKE JOE LOBESTIEN BEING MAYOR.
ITA SIMONS AND OTHERS GETING O.B.E. OR M.B.E.
OR THE  LATE CHIEF RABBI BEING MADE A LORD AND HIS WIFE
A LADY, MY THEY REST IN PEACE.
THEY WANT GOYISHE RECOGNATION,
WHEN I CAN GET RECOGNITION FROM THE GOISHE WORLD ON
MY BRAINS AND DEEP UNDERSTANDING.

THAT THE B.B.C. FINDS IT WORTH WHILE TO
MAKE A PROGRAM ON THE WAY I THINK.
JOE AND ALEX WILL NOT GIVE  ME OR ANY OTHER
" FRUM FROM BIRTH " JEW A PLACE AS DIRECTOR
OF THE AGUDA OR EDITOR OF THE JEWISH TRIBUNE,
THEY ONLY LOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BA-ALE  TESUVA.

INDIVIDUAL​ITY

BY MY REBBE, THE BEIS YISROEL, CARED ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL PERSON.
I ASKED MY DEAR WIFE,  " DO YOU THINK IN TODAY'S
CASSIDIC AND JEWISH ORGANISATIONS,
THE RABBIS OR THE RABBONIM CARE ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL  PERSON?

EVERYBODY NEEDS RECOGNITION  AND WANTS TO BE VALUED."
NOT JUST THE RICH OR PEOPLE WHO THE CASSIDUS OR ORGANISATION
CAN HAVE VALUE FROM.
 IF THESE RABBIS OR RABBONIM  DON'T GIVE THE  RECOGNITION
 THEY NEED,THEY WILL GET IT FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THE ONLY THING THAT OSHER SHAPIRO DOES IS
TO STOP THE DROP-OUTS BECOMING DROP-OUTS. 
HE GIVES THEM TIME, RESPECT AND RECOGNITION
BUT SOMETIMES THE PAIN FROM THE PARENTS NOT
UNDERSTANDING THE CHILDREN HAS CAUSED PAIN THAT
CAN NOT BE RECTIFIED.
THE PARENTS AND THE LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY SAY
TO THEM " YOU ARE CAUSING US EMBARRASSMENT
BY THE WAY YOU BEHAVE."
THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

NEARLY ALL MY NEIGHBORS HAVE GONE ON HOLIDAYS, POOR OR RICH.
YOU MUST NOT SAY I CAN NOT AFFORD IT.
EVEN IF YOU CAN'T, THE CHILDREN
MUST NOT KNOW THAT YOU CAN NOT AFFORD IT.
IT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO SAY TO THE CHILDREN
WE ARE CAN NOT A AFFORD IT.

YOUR SITUATION IN LIFE IS FROM G=D.
BUT WE DO NOT TEACH THIS TO THE CHILDREN.
RABBBI AND RABBONIM LIVE THERE LIVES
AND PASS ON THE WRONG VALUES IN LIFE

THE BEIS YISRAEL

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE TO THANK NACHMAN SELTZER
FOR THE LOVELY ARTICLE 18  AUGUST 2011
THE REBBE'S LETTER.

MY NAME IS GABY LOCK I CAME TO GER AFTER PESACH 1962.
IT WAS ONLY HALF A  YEAR AFTER THE OPENING OF THE
BEIS HAMEDRASH.
IT WAS FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE TISH OF THE BEIS YISROEL
ABOUT 9-20 P.M.
I WAS SITTING ON A SIDE TABLE WITH ITCHE MEIR ALTER AND A FEW
OTHERS TALKING.
ITCHE MEIR ALTER WAS THE SON OF SHIMON ALTER ,SADLY HE DIED VERY YOUNG.

SUDDENLY A TALL NON FRUM MAN WALKED PASSED US GOING TO THE STAIRS
TO GO INTO THE BEIS HAMEDRASH.
HE HAD HIS HANDS IN HIS TROUSER POCKETS AND NO HEAD COVERING
I WANTED TO GO UP TO HIM AND TELL HIM THAT YOU
CAN'T  GO INTO THE BEIS HAMEDRASH LIKE THAT,
BUT ITCHE MEIR SAID TO ME,
" DON'T SAY A THING TO HIM. FOLLOW HIM AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS."
AS HE CAME UPSTAIRS AND WENT THROUGH THE BROWN DOORS
IT WAS 9-25 P.M. AND THE BEIS YISROEL CAME INTO THE TISH
IT WENT ALL QUIET.

A BIG CIRCLE OPENED UP AND THE BEIS YISROEL WALKED AROUND THE BEIS HAMEDRASH,
TO SEE WHO WAS IN THE BEIS HAMEDRASH, TO SEND SOME PEOPLE
INTO THE TISH, THIS MAN WAS STANDING
IN THE FRONT ROW STILL NO HEAD COVERING AND HANDS IN HIS TROUSER POCKETS.

A YUNGERMAN, AVROHOM WEISSMEAL SAW THIS AND STOOD IN FRONT OF THIS MAN .
THE BEIS YISROEL SAW THIS AND RAN UP TO AVROHOM WEISSMEAL AND SHOUTED:
 ( I AM TRANSLATING IT INTO ENGLISH )
 "IN MY BEIS HAMEDRASH YOU DON'T PUSH PEOPLE,
BY ME EVERY BODY HAS A PLACE."
AVROHOM WEISSMEAL MOVED AWAY
AND THE BEIS YISROEL  LOOKED AT THIS MAN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
FOR A FEW MINUTES.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MAN I DO NOT KNOW.
WHAT I DO KNOW  IS THE LESSON I LEARNED,
BY THE RIBBONO SHEL OLAM EVERY BODY HAS A VALUE.
