I GO EVERY DAY TO LEARN IN BELZ 99 BETHUNE ROAD.
THIS MONTH OF NISSAN IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WHOLE YEAR,
CHILDREN FROM JEWISH SCHOOLS ALL OVER LONDON FRUM AND NOT FRUM
EVEN CHILDREN WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THEY ARE SEEING COME,
LIKE KISHARON AND SCHOOLS LIKE THAT.
SO MANY CHILDREN COME IN BUSES AND COACHES THAT THEY WAIT IN A QUE TO GET IN.
IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FRUM THE PERSON WHO IS BAKING IS,
( THAT THESE CHILDREN MIGHT DISTURB THE KASHRUS OF THE MATZOS )
EVERY CHILD GETS A TURN TO GO ROUND THE WHOLE BAKERY
TO SEE WITH HIS OWN EYES THE PROSES OF HAND BAKING MATZOS.
I ASKED ONE OF THE TEACHERS: " DO YOU ONLY COME HERE TO BELZ ? "
HE TOLD ME THAT OTHER BAKERIES DON'T LET THEM IN.
THEY ARE SCARED THAT IT WILL DISTURB THE KASHRUS
OF THE MATZOS.
I EXPLAIN TO THE TEACHERS WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE
OF MY T.V. PROGRAM.
"TWO JEWS ON A CRUISE".
MY REBBE THE BEIS YISROEL TAUGHT ME THAT WHEN YOU
MAKE SOMETHING FUNNY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTRACTED TO LOOK.
THEN YOU CAN TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT IN YIDDISHKEIT.
PEOPLE SEE ME ON THE BUSES AND SAY: " TO ME I SAW YOUR PROGRAM"
I SAY TO THEM DID YOU GET THE POINT ?
" IF YOU DO NOT LEARN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BE A JEW."
I KNOW THAT EVERY MOVEMENT OF MINE IS TO SPREAD G=DS NAME.
I HOPE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO INSULT ME ARE TRULY SERVING G=D.
IF NOT THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT G=D WATCHES OVER ME.

THE MAKING OF A TZADDIK
DON'T YOU THINK THAT WE ARE CONCENTRATING TOO MUCH ON THE GREAT HASHGACHAH ON BEING MEKAREV BAALEI TESHUVAH ?
WE FORGET COMPLETELY ABOUT OUR YOUNG CHILDREN ,TEENAGERS AND ADULTS WHO NEED HELP IN KIRUV TO STAY IN YIDDISKEIT..
IN YOUR ARTICLE IN THE HAMODIA , YOU PUT IN SO MUCH EFFORT, TO BRING PEOPLE BACK WHO HAVE MARRIED NON JEWS.
YOU LEAVE OUT( YOU DON'T WRITE ABOUT ) THE PROBLEMS HE HAD TO LEAVE HIS WIFE OF TWENTY SEVEN YEARS.
I CAN SEE HASHGACHAH IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE.
THE PERSON AND ORGANISATIONS ,PUTTING EFFORT TO BRING PEOPLE BACK, SHOULD PUT IN THAT EFFORT THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DROP OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE ( WE HAVE SO MANY DROPPING OUT).
EVERY YOUNGSTER WHO BECOMES A DROP -OUT, HAS BEEN BADLY TREATED BY TEACHERS OR BY ADMINISTRATORS OF SCHOOLS ,WHO WONT ACCEPT CHILDREN BECAUSE THE MOTHERS DRESS A BIT MODERN.
I HAVE ASKED HEAD MASTERS HOW DO THESE CHILDREN FEEL?
SECOND CLASS CITIZENS.
THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM OF NOW BUT YEARS AGO AS WELL.
A LITTLE STORY TO HIGHLIGHT THE POINT. TWENTY YEARS AGO I HAD TWO SONS IN BELZ CLAPTON COMMON,
MY BIG SON WHO WAS SIXTEEN HAD LEARNED IN THEIR CHEDER FOR TEN YEARS AND THEN THREE YEARS IN THE YESHIVA KETTANA.
HE WAS A GOOD BOY AND THE BELZERS WANTED I SHOULD SEND HIM TO BELZ IN ISRAEL.
MY WIFE AND I DID NOT WANT THIS FOR TWO REASONS.
NUMBER ONE WE WANTED TO SEND HIM TO A YESHIVA IN ENGLAND,GATESHEAD.
NUMBER TWO ALSO A VERY IMPORTANT POINT WE DID NOT WANT OUR CHILD TO BE KIDNAPPED BY AN ORGANISATION NO DIFFERENCE, BELZ,SATMAR,OR GUR.
IT WAS B"H OUR CHILD, WHO G-D GAVE US ,AND WE WANTED TO INFLUENCE AND EDUCATE HIM, WE DID NOT WANT HIM TO BELONG TO ANY ORGANISATION .
ALL OF THEM TAKE OVER THE YOUNG TEENAGERS AND THE PARENTS HAVE LITTLE OR NO MEANING TO THEM, I DO NOT HAVE TIME OR SPACE TO GO IN TO DETAILS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED THE NEXT TERM MY SECOND SON WAS TOLD TO LEAVE THE CHEDER, I HAD PAID THE SCHOOL FEES IN ADVANCE THESE WERE NEVER RETURNED TO ME TO THIS DAY.
I RAN TO THE RABONIM ,RABBIS OF THE ORGANISATION THEY HAD NO TIME THEY WERE BUSIER" LICKING "THE RICH ON THE GROUNDS THEY NEED TO RAISE FUNDS.
MY SECOND SON UNDERSTOOD QUIET WELL WHAT HAPPENED AND WILL NOT GO INTO BELZ TO THIS VERY DAY.
BUT HE COULD EASILY HAVE TURNED INTO A DROP- OUT.

Dear Gaby Lock,
Our editorial board reviewed your letter and we are genuinely sorry you had such negative experiences. Your email clearly comes from a place of deep pain and we empathize with you. In the future we hope to present more material for young frum people struggling with today’s challenges to their Yiddishkeit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
