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.

WHAT IS OUR AIM IN LIFE

AS AN ORTHODOX FRUM JEW, MY AIMS IN LIFE ARE
TO BE NEAR TO G=D.
I DO THIS THROUGH LEARNING TORAH, KEEPING MITZVOS
AND I THINK ABOUT G=D, A LOT IN LIFE.
IF I SEE SOMEONE WHO DOES THIS MORE THAN I DO,I LOOK UP TO HIM OR HER
AS A LEADER IN YISROEL.

AFTER ADAM EATING FROM THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT,
GOOD AND BAD ARE MIXED UP IN A PERSON,
THERE CAN BE A PERSON WHO PRAYS VERY WELL BUT IS NOT TRUTHFUL IN MONEY MATTERS, EVEN RABBONIM AND RABBIS.
BUT THIS DOES NOT MAKE HIM NOT A RABBI OR ROV.

THIS IS A PROBLEM IN TO-DAY'S FRUM WORLD.
THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE, WHO HAVE PUT DOWN RULES WHO IS A FRUM JEW,AND WHO IS NOT,
SPECIALLY IN SATMAR THE MAIN POINT THERE IS BEING AGAINST THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
IN GUR IT IS WOMEN BEING COMPLETELY SEGREGATED FROM THE MEN,
IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW THEY GO DRESSED.
THIS POINT IS BETTER IN SATMAR AS THE DRESSING OF WOMEN AND ZNIOS IS BETTER,
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND MY POINT.

I HAVE NO TIME TO GO INTO LITVISHER, BELZ ,VISNITZ AND LUBAVITCH.
THE POINT IS THAT THEIR GEDOLIM MADE TO HOLD THEIR CROWDS IN YIDDISKEIT.
TO-DAY  WE HAVE BECOME A MIXED-UP CROWD.
EVERYBODY TRIES TO PUT THEIR WAY ( AS THAT IS CORRECT ) ON THE OTHER PERSON.
AND IF ANY GODOL  WHO COMES FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE WERE DIFFERENT POINTS WERE IMPORTANT,
THEY DEMONSTRATE AGAINST HIM SHOUT ABUSE AT HIM ETC,ETC,
THIS COMES FROM A LACK OF EDUCATION THAT GERMAN JEWS AND  HUNGARIAN JEWS POLISH JEWS ARE ALSO VERY FRUM JEWS AND HAVE A PLACE BY THE RIBONO SHEL OLAM.

A VERY CHOSHVER  ROV TOLD ME ABOUT RABBI STEINMAN ,"AREN'T THEY SCARED FOR THEIR FAMILY AND THEMSELVES ? 
RABBI STEINMAN IS A  VERY HOLY MAN AND HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY  PEOPLE ARE NOT SCARED TO CALL HIM NAMES
EVEN IF HE THINKS DIFFERENTLY FROM  THE SATMAR REBBE?"

NOT LONG AGO SOMEONE INSULTED ME IN PUBLIC.
I HAVE LEARNED HARD HOW TO HEAR INSULTS AND NOT SAY A WORD.
A FEW WEEKS LATTER ONE OF THE PEOPLE HAD A VERY NASTY ACCIDENT.
THERE IS A G=D AND IT IS NOT A FREE WORLD
WHERE YOU THINK BECAUSE YOU ARE A SATMAR ,BELZ, GUR , ROV OR REBBE
YOU CAN DO AS YOU LIKE.
BRITIAN HAS THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW.
G=D'S ARM IS EVEN LONGER.
