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.

IGNORANCE
IN 1961/62 I WENT TO THE YESHIVAS MESIFTA AT 82/84 CAZENOVE ROAD.
THE YESHIVA WAS VERY SATMAR ORIENTATED.
THERE WAS A GOY-CLEANER THERE AND THEY CALLED HIM "ITCHE MEIR".
THE INTENTION WAS TO DEGRADE RABBI YITZCHOK MEIR LEVIN,
THE LEADER OF AGUDAS YISROEL.
THE SON-IN-LAW OF THE GERRER REBBE THE IMREI EMES ZT"L.
THEN IN 1962 I LEFT THE MESIFTA AND WENT TO ERETZ YISROEL.
THE FIRST THING MY COUSIN, MOSHE LEIB LOCK,DID
HE TOOK ME TO THE FRONT OF THE GERER BEIS HAMEDRASH
AND SHOWED ME RABBI ITCHE MEIR LEVIN,A YID WITH A SPODIK.
THE HAMODIA MAGAZINE 11 AUGUST 2011 HAD AN ARTICLE ON THE 40TH YAHRTZEIT OF
RABBI YITZCHOK MEIR LEVIN ZT"L.
THAT'S WHAT REMINDED ME OF THIS STORY.
THIS DOES NOT ONLY APPLY TO THE BOYS OF THE MESIFTA AND SATMAR
BUT TO THE REST OF THE CHASIDC ,LITVICHER AND ORTHODOX
FRUM WORLD.
THEY ARE SO IGNORANT WHAT GOES ON IN THE TORAH WORLD,
LEARNING AND YIDISHKEIT BY OTHERS.
ONLY WHAT THEY SAW AND WERE TAUGHT THAT WHAT YIDDISHKEIT IS.
EVEN THOUGH THE SATMAR REBBE HAD A RIGHT TO BE AGAINST THE AGUDA ,
BEFORE THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND AFTER.
THE PEOPLE OF SATMAR HAVE NO IDEA OF THE RABBIS OF ALL COUNTRIES
BEFORE THE WAR AND AFTER THE WAR WHO WERE FOR AGUDA.
THAT'S WHAT MY COUSIN WANTED TO SHOW ME.
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE STILL TO-DAY SPECIALLY IN SATMAR
WHO ARE SO IGNORANT OF THESE FACTS.
AND DO NOT TELL ME, IT IS NOT TRUE.
I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO MIX WITH ALL CROWDS AND I SEE THE IGNORANCE.
BUT THE SAME IGNORANCE IS IN THE GERER BELZER AND AGUDA CROWDS.
THEY DO NOT REALISE THAT SATMAR IS FULL OF REAL CHASISDSHE YIDEN.
I WAS IN YESHIVA WHEN RABBI AHRON KOTTLER WAS NIFTAR
AND WAS AT HIS FUNERAL AND BURIAL IN HAR HMANOCHOS IN GIVAT SHUAL.
I PUSHED AND WAS AT THE FRONT OF THE GRAVE
( SO I SAW THIS WITH MY OWN EYES )
IT WAS A VERY DRY YEAR A REAL DROUGHT IT WAS ALREADY KISLEV AND
NO RAIN,
WHEN THEY BURIED RABBI AHRON THEY PUT IN A WET RAG IN HIS LEFT HAND AND
A BOTTLE OF WATER IN HIS RIGHT .
THE CHEVRA KADISHE MAN SAID LOUD TO
RABBI AHRON THIS IS A SEGULA THAT WHEN YOU GET TO THE NEXT WORLD
YOU SHOULD NOT FORGET US AND ASK FOR RAIN.
THAT NIGHT THE HEAVENS OPENED AND IT POURED FOR HOURS ON END
FILLING UP NEARLY ALL THE NEEDED WATER HOLES
I WAS SURPRISED THAT I DID NOT SEE THIS OPEN MIRACLE FROM G=D
REPORTED IN THE JEWISH DAILY THE HAMODIA.
SO I WENT UP TO A CHOSHEVER YID, RABBI ELIOZER BAIN ( A GERER CHOSID )
AND ASKED HIM WHY NOTHING OF THIS OPEN MIRACLE WAS REPORTED IN THE HAMODIA
HE WAS ONE OF THE EDITORS OF THE HAMODIA.
HE ANSWERED ME THAT THE WEATHER FORECAST HAD ALREADY SAID A DAY BEFORE THAT THE RAIN WAS COMING.
I AM SURE HAD THIS BEEN FROM ONE OF THE GERER RABBIS
OR A CHASSIDISHER RABBI ,THE FRONT PAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN FULL.
THIS REMINDS ME OF A STORY
A YID CAME TO HEAVEN AND AN ANGEL TOOK HIM AROUND GAN EDEN
HE SHOWED HIM WHERE THE SATMARS WERE LEARNING
THE LITVICHER WERE LEARNING AND THE LUBVITCHERS WERE LEARNING.
THE YID ASKED THE ANGEL WHY ARE THEY NOT LEARNING TOGETHER ?
THE ANGEL ANSWERED THAT IS PART OF THEIR GAN EDEN
THEY THINK THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES.
THE YESHIVA WAS VERY SATMAR ORIENTATED.
THERE WAS A GOY-CLEANER THERE AND THEY CALLED HIM "ITCHE MEIR".

CHILLUL HASHEM
I WAS PLEASED TO READ TWO LETTERS 11 AUGUST 2011.
ONE IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE BY MENASCHE SCHARF, AND THE SECOND ONE BY YITZCHOK KORNBLUH IN THE HAMODIA.
THESE TWO STORIES ARE THE REAL CHILLUL HASHEM ,IN OUR COMMUNITY.
NOT GABY LOCK WITH HIS DEAR WIFE, GOING ON TELEVISION EXPLAINING WHAT IS TRUE YIDDISHKEIT.
MR ALEX STROM DO YO U GET THE MESSAGE ? ?
ALSO MR YAKOV OSTRICHER OF SATMAR 26 C.C. ? ?
IN THE HAMODIA MR YITZCHOK KORNBLUH WRITES:
"I WAS SHOCKED AND SADDENED AS EVERYBODY ELSE WAS OF THE OCCURRENCE IN TOTTENHAM,NORTH LONDON ON SATURDAY NIGHT FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF A YOUNG MAN".
WHAT IS MORE DISTURBING IS THAT SOME MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WERE SEEN BY THE WORLD MEDIA, IN FULL CHASSIDIC REGALIA MILLING, AROUND ALMOST IN CARNIVAL MODE AMONGST THESE RIOTERS.
HAVE OUR PEOPLE TAKEN LEAVE OF THEIR SENSES ?? ? ? ?
WOMEN WERE SEEN WHEELING BABIES IN BUGGIES, WHERE ARE THE BRAINS OF THESE FAMILIES IN TURNING UP,
AT SUCH EVENTS, RUTHLESS THUGS WHO WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO THRUST A KNIFE INTO AN INNOCENT AND UNCONNECTED BYSTANDER.
MENASCHE SCHARF WRITES IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE:
HE SAW A YONG BOCHUR , MERELY THIRTEEN ,WAITING TO CATCH A LIFT TO GOLDERS GREEN FROM FINSBURY PARK OF ALL PLACES THE MORNING AFTER A SECOND NIGHT OF LOOTING AND RIOTS.
JUST WEEKS AFTER THE TERRIBLE "LEIBELE "ATROCITY AND THIS BOY IS LOOKING FOR A LIFT FROM STRANGERS.
"HOW COULD I EXPLAIN THE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES WITHOUT RUNNING THE RISK OF BEING LABELLED A RAVING LUNATIC FOR SUGGESTING TO A YIDDISHE MAMMA THAT SHE DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH FOR HER CHILD" .
MR KORNBLUH AND MR SCHARF, I SEE LOTS OF TIMES PARENTS WHO, WHEN THEY GET MARRIED AT SEVENTEEN NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT BY EIGHTEEN THEY COULD BE A PARENT
AND ARE NOT READY TO LOOK AFTER THIS CHILD.
IF THE RABBONIM AND LAY LEADERS DO NOT OPEN THEIR EYES AND MOUTH WE WILL HAVE TRAGEDY AFTER TRAGEDY
CHASH VESHOLAM.
ONE IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE BY MENASCHE SCHARF, AND THE SECOND ONE BY YITZCHOK KORNBLUH IN THE HAMODIA.

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.
