ABA DUNNER Z.L.

IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE 21 JULY 2011.
JOE LOBENSTIEN  WRITES IN HIS" HERE AND THERE" COLUMN:
" ABA WAS A BORN ASKAN "
( I REMEMBER IT WELL)
"AFTER HE TERMINATED HIS EMPLOYMENT WITH THE BRITISH AGUDA"
WHEN HE WAS EDITOR  OF THE JEWISH TRIBUNE AND DIRECTOR  OF BRITISH AGUDA,
YOU JOE AND A FEW OF YOUR OTHER CRONIES
WERE SCARED HE WAS GETTING TOO GOOD AT HIS JOB AS HE WAS BUILDING UP THE AGUDA.

YOU WERE SCARED THAT THIS YUNGERMAN WOULD OVER TAKE YOU, SO YOU GOT RID OF HIM AND PUSHED HIM OUT.
AND THE AGUDA HAS GONE DOWN HILL.
TO THAT EXTENT THAT THE TRIBUNE IS BANKRUPT.
IF ITA SIMONS ( CYMERMAN ) WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN AGUDAS HOUSING OUT OF THE AGUDAS CONTROL,
SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
S.O.F .T. ONLY BECAME A SUCCESS  
WHEN OTHER CHARITY ORGANISATIONS OPENED UP.

NEPOTISM AND FRIENDS HAVE RUINED THE ORGANISATION.
ABA LIVED AND WANTED TO HELP JEWISH PEOPLE,THAT WAS HIS LIFE'S AIM.
THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH JOE, FOUR YEARS MAYOR AND COUNTLESS YEARS COUNCILOR HE NEVER HELPED A PERSON PRIVATELY.
ALL THAT MATTERED WAS HIM ,HIM AND HIM AGAIN.

AS JOE WRITES, ABA WAS A BRILLIANT COMMUNICATOR.
HE ENJOYED PARTICIPATING IN A JEWISH RADIO PROGRAMME, UNTIL HIS BROTHER DAYAN AHRON DOVID WAS FRIGHTENED THAT IT WOULD STOP HIM TAKING OVER HIS FATHERS PLACE AS RAVED OF THE U.O.H.C. WHEN THE WELL KNOWN TZADIK
RABBI JOSEPH ZVI DUNNER  Z.L. PASSED ON.
SO HE DROPPED THE RADIO, AFTER PRESSURE FROM HIS FAMILY.

IN THE END THE FAMILY OF THE OLD RABBI PADWA Z.L.
WANTED TO KEEP THE U.O.H.C. IN THEIR FAMILY.
THEY  DISSOLVED THE POSITION OF RAVED SO DAYAN AHRON DOVID
DID NOT HAVE WHAT TO TAKE OVER.
THE WHOLE TOWN STINKS OF POWER THE RABONIM AND ASKONIM.
THE LAST WORD ,ABA'S LIFE WAS TO HELP PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM LAUGH .


WITH TEARS IN MY EYES I KNEW  HIM OVER SIXTY YEARS.

AGUDA

PADDY WIVELL CAME TO ME YESTERDAY
HE ASKED ME  A QUESTION  (ON CAMERA ) HOW COME THE TRIBUNE ARE AS MUCH AGAINST YOU AS THE  J.C
TWO PAPERS ONE ORTHODOX ,AND ONE NOT ORTHODOX ,HAVE THE SAME VIEW.
I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT A B.T. IS
A NONE ORTHODOX PERSON BECOMING ORTHODOX.

I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT A NONE ORTHODOX PERSON BE COMING ORTHODOX ,
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE NONE ORTHODOX VIEWS HE HAD BE FOR, GO AWAY
DEEP INSIDE HIM THEY ARE STILL THERE, AND THE DISLIKE OF AN ORTHODOX  JEW.
THE TRIBUNE EDITOR IS A B.T. AND DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING AND EXP LINING 613 MITZVOT
A JEWISH PERSON HAS TO THE WORLD .
EVEN MOST OF THE STAFF AT THE AGUDA, ARE IGNORANT PEOPLE, AND THEY THINK LIKE THE J.C.

YOU CAN SEE THIS FROM ALEX STROMS ARTICLE,
THAT THE MAIN AIM OF A JEW IS TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION ON THE WORLD
AND THEN THERE WILL BE LESS ANTISEMITISM.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE AGUDA IS ALSO A B.T. AND HAS LEARNT A BIT MORE THEN THE EDITOR
BUT BY FAR THERE IS STILL A LOT HE DOES NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND
HE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN  THE SEED PROGRAM
BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE  HIM KNOWLEDGEABLE IN TORAH AND MITZVAOT.

TELEVISION

I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THIS WEEKS JEWISH TRIBUNE THAT THERE WAS NO TELEVISION REVIEW OF.
THIS WEEKS PROGRAMS BY ONE OF THE AGUDA RABBIS OR AT LEAST BY
AVROHOM ZONSZAJN OR ALEX STROM
AS A PRESIDENT HAS NOW BEEN SET THAT REPORTING OF A TELEVISION PROGRAM IS PERMITTED IN THE TRIBUNE .
I HOPE LIKE ALL LETTERS AND E MAILS TO THE EDITOR OF THE JEWISH TRIBUNE WHICH GET PASSED EVERYWHERE.
PUBLIC PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL AND A TELEVISION REVIEW PROGRAM WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
MAYBE  BY  BEN ESOPH OR BEN YITCHOK .
                                                                                        GABY  LOCK
P.S. COULD INCLUDE THIS IN YOUR LETTER PAGE

B.T. EDITOR AND DIRECTOR

IT IS WRONG FOR THE AGUDA  TO HAVE EDITOR, AND DIRECTOR ,WHO ARE BALEY TESHUVAH ,
( THAT MEANS THAT THEY DO NOT COME FROM A JEWISH ORTHODOX BACK GROUND)
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,IN LIFE.

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE LIKE ALEX STROM, WHO COME FROM A CHASIDIC BACK GROUND, SHOULD NOT HAVE A SAY,
SPECIALLY IN A SO CALLED ORTHODOX JEWISH PAPER, WHICH WRITES ABOUT TELEVISION  PROGRAMS.

HE IS ALSO INVOLVED IN MARRIAGE COUNSELING WHICH HAS NO U.O.H.C RABBINET APPROVAL.
WHEN THEY THEM SELVES, DO NOT PRACTICE , THE JEWISH RELIGIOUS ,THE WAY THERE GRAND PARENTS DID.
ALEX STROM FATHER WAS A BROTHER, TO MR MOSHE DOVID STROM ,OF STAMFORD HILL
DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ORTHODOX JEWISH PEOPLE ,FELT IT ALL RIGHT ,TO GO ON IPLAYER AFTER YOU MENTIONED IT THE PAPER.
THE WORST CASE MR STROM AND YOUR PAPER NEVER ASKED ME WHICH RABONIM  I CONSULTED WITH
BEFORE I WENT TO THE B.B.C
BUT IF YOU HAVE AN EDITOR AND DIRECTOR WITH A BAL TESHUVA BACK GROUND WHAT DO YOU EXPECT.

YOUR PAPER HAS A VOICE TO THOUSANDS
BUT I HAD A VOICE TO MILLIONS
MY POINTS HAVE MADE A TERRIFIC IMPACT ON THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN THIS FREE LAND
THEY HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND THINK WHAT IS ?
AND WHO IS A JEW ?

MICHOEL POSEN AND JOE LOBENSTIEN

A FEW YEARS A GO I  A HAD WEEKLY RADIO PROGRAM .
LOTS OF PEOPLE LISTENED TO IT AND WANTED IT BACK AS IT CARED ABOUT PEOPLE.

ONCE I MENTIONED THAT IT IS INTERESTING THAT POLISH AND OTHER ETHNIC MINORITIES  HAVE NINE OR TEN ADVISERS GIVING YOU FREE ADVICE AND HELPING YOU FILL IN FORMS.
THE PEOPLE PHONING  IN SAID THAT THE AGUDAS ADVICE BUREAU
ONLY HAD ONE PERSON GIVING ADVICE AND TWO GIRLS TO HELP
AND YOU WERE ALWAYS TOLD TO SEE MR POSEN PRIVATELY WHICH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE.

AS MY STATION WAS MONITORED BY HACKNEY COUNCIL THANKS TO JOE LOBENSTEIN THE THEN MAYOR
I WAS CALLED TO HACKNEY COUNCIL.
THEY TOLD ME THAT HACKNEY COUNCIL PAYS THE AGUDA FOR NINE PEOPLE THE SAME AS THE OTHERS
AND ADVICE AND FILLING FORMS SHOULD BE COMPLETELY FREE.

I ASKED THEM WHY THE COUNCIL DOES NOT TAKE THE AGUDA UP ON THIS
THE LADY SAID TO ME:" WOULD YOU OR ANY OF THE OTHERS COME AS A WITNESS?"
THE RABBIS WOULD TELL US, YOU MUST NOT GO.
AND THIS PRACTISE BY THE AGUDA  ADVICE BUREAU AND MR POSEN GOES ON TO THIS VERY DAY.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRUST ME ASK  AROUND IN THE COMMUNITY.
THEY WILL NOT EVEN LET SATMAR MAKE AN ADVICE BUREAU.
JOE LOBESTIEN WAS FOUR TIMES MAYOR OF HACKNEY BUT NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF US YIDEN.
I THINK HE DID HELP A BIT IF YOU WERE FAMILY OF FAMILY OR A MEMBER OF THE U.O.H.C.
BUT MAINLY HE HELPED HIS COMPANY JAYLOW GET CONTRACT AFTER CONTRACT.

ALEX STROM WRITES
THE TIME HAS COME TO REIN IN THESE SELF-APPOINTED SPOKESMAN.
WHERE ARE THE SPOKESMAN OF OUR COMMUNITY? ? ?

  P.S. YOU CAN PUT THIS IN AS A LETTER
