MY DEAR WIFE AND I ARE AT THE STAGE IN LIFE WHICH WE GOT TO WITH A LOT OF TOIL AND TRUST IN THE RIBONO SHEL OLOM.
WHERE I CAN OPEN MY LIFE STORY AND TELL YOU STORIES ABOUT US AND HOW WE WORKED TOGETHER TO BRING INTO OUR LIFE LOVE FOR EACH OTHER
AND THEN LOVE FOR THE RIBONO SHEL OLOM.
NUMBER ONE, THERE MUST NEVER BE A LIE BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.
GOOD OR BAD THE TRUTH MUST PREVAIL AS TRUTH IS THE NAME OF G=D.
AND WHERE TRUTH IS, G=D IS THERE EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR LIFE.
THIS WITH THE HELP OF G=D I HAVE PASSED ON TO MY CHILDREN.
THE BEIS YISROEL SAID TO SOMEONE:
IF I PROMISE HIM SOMETHING THEN IT IS A PROMISE I WILL NOT BREAK IT.
I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO WAS VERY NEAR TO THE BEIS YISROEL.
THE REBBE CAUGHT HIM TELLING A LIE, HE WAS FINISHED. HE STILL HAD A PLACE BY THE REBBE. EVERYBODY HAD A PLACE. BUT IT WAS NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE.
BUT IF YOU TOLD HIM THE TRUTH, HOWEVER BAD YOU WERE,
YOU STILL HAD A PLACE BY HIM.
I USED TO COME EVERY YEAR FOR ROSH HASHONA TILL
AFTER SUCCOS TO THE BEIS YISROEL.
SOME LONDON PEOPLE DID NOT LIKE ME IN GUR .THEY STILL DON'T .
SO THEY SENT A MESSAGE TO THE BEIS YISROEL
THAT GABY LOCK WATCHES TELEVISION.
AFTER SUCCOS WHEN I WENT PRIVATELY INTO THE BEIS YISROEL
WITH A QUITTEL, JUST BEFORE LEAVING FOR LONDON,
IN MY QUITTER WAS WRITTEN ASKING A BLESSING FOR TORAH LEARNING.
THE BEIS YISROEL TURNED TO ME WHILE HOLDING MY QUITTEL IN
HIS HOLY HAND.
HE ASKED ME: " YOU WATCH TELEVISION ? " ( THIS WAS BEFORE I MADE PROGRAMS )
IN THE SECONDS THAT PASSED, I THOUGHT IN MY HEART,
HOW CAN I LIE HOWEVER BIG THE EMBARRASSMENT IS ?
I ANSWERED HIM :" I HAVE A BIG DESIRE TO WATCH ,
I DO NOT HAVE DESIRES TO SMOKE OR DRINK,
BUT IN HALF AN HOUR I CAN UNDERSTAND THINGS WHICH
WOULD TAKE ME HOURS TO READ IN BOOKS
AND THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE MUCH BETTER ."
HE LET ME STAND IN FRONT OF HIM FOR TWO MINUTES ( THAT WAS VERY LONG ).
THEN HE STRETCHED HIS HOLY HAND OUT AND SAID TO ME
BE CAREFUL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
I ASKED FOR A BLESSING THAT I SHOULD HAVE A DESIRE FOR TORAH LEARNING
THE SAME AS I HAVE TO WATCH TELEVISION,
HE BLESSED ME WITH THAT.
THE BEIS YISROEL, WHEN YOU STOOD IN FRONT OF HIM,
BECAME YOU AND UNDERSTOOD YOU.
EVEN THOUGH HE WAS FAR AWAY FROM YOUR BEHAVIOUR.
"THEY TREMBLED BEFORE HIM
YET THEY BEGGED TO BE ADMITTED INTO HIS PRESENCE."

DOING TESHUVA
MY DEAR WIFE WHO WAS ON THE TELEVISION PROGRAM, SHOOK HANDS WITH THE GOY.
SHE COMES FROM HOLLAND WHERE EVERY SHABBOS
AFTER DAVENING YOU SHOOK HANDS WITH THE ROV.
WHEN SHE WENT TO SEM. AT EIGHTEEN SHE CHANGED THAT
AND TOLD THE RABBONIM IN HOLLAND THAT SHE CAN NOT
SHAKE HANDS WITH THEM ANYMORE.
THEY WERE VERY ANGRY WITH HER BUT SHE HAD GUTS.
AS SHE SAID IN THE PROGRAM THIS WAS A MISTAKE.
IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF TRAGEDIES SPECIALY IN STAMFORD HILL.
THE RABBONIN AND RABBIS ARE QUIET AS THEY ARE ON HOLIDAY
SOME IN NAZI AUSTRIA OTHERS IN ANTI-SEMITIC SWITZERLAND, ARE THESE NOT SIGNS FROM G=D TO REPENT OUR WAYS.
SPECIALLY IN BEHAVIOUR ONE TO THE OTHER.
WHEN ARE THE RABBONIN RABBIS GOING TO HAVE THE GUTS
OF MY WIFE AND TELL THEMSELVES! !
THE RESPONSIBILITY THEY HAVE AS RABBONIM AND RABBIS.
IT IS SAD THAT GABY LOCK ON HIS BLOG HAS TO WRITE ABOUT THIS.
BUT MY DEAR WIFE HAS A LIST WHERE SHE PRAYS EVERY DAY
IN THE MORNING FOR ALL THE CHOLIM IN TOWN ETC,ETC,
AND WHEN SHE HEARS ONE OF THEM HAS PASSED AWAY
SHE SITS DOWN AND CRIES HER EYES OUT,
DO THESE RABBONIM AND RABBIS FEEL THE TROUBLES,
OF ANOTHER PERSON AS IF IT WAS THEIR OWN?

MOSHIACH
I I AM WAITING FOR THE MOSHIACH, YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I AM WAITING WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE WILL BE ONE
NOT ONLY ORTHODOX AND NON ORTHODOX, BUT ORTHODOX AND ORTHTODOX,
LITVISHER AND CASSIDIM
SEFARDIM AND ASHKANEZIM.
ONE CHASSIDC ORGANISATION WITH THE OTHER.
THEY WILL ALL SEE THAT THE MAIN AIM IN LIFE IS TO BELIEVE
AND PRAY, DO MITZVOS AND LEARN TORAH FOR HASHEM.
AS IS WRITTEN:
HASHEM WILL GIVE MIGHT TO HIS PEOPLE,
HASHEM WILL BLESS HIS PEOPLE WITH PEACE.
AS THE BEIS YISROEL OF GUR TOLD ME
THAT THE ONLY WAY TO OVERCOME THE YETZER HORAH
IS THROUGH TORAH LEARNING AND NOTHING ELSE.
THE YETZER HORAH WILL LET YOU DRESS AND DO ANY MITZVOS
YOU LIKE EXCEPT FOR TORAH LEARNING.
THE MORE TORAH LEARNING WE HAVE THE MORE PEACE
WE HAVE AMONGST OURSELVES.
THE NEARER WE GET TO THE MOSHIACH.
THERE IS NO WAY TO BRING JEWS TO BE ONE
ONLY THROUGH TORAH LEARNING, EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY.
TO PASS THAT ON TO YOUR CHILDREN WITH G=D;S HELP.
IF YOU SEE THAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE LEARNING TORAH
AND PASSING THAT ON TO YOUR GRAND CHILDREN,
THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A PLACE BY G=D.
THE MAIN AIM IN MY LIFE IS TO SPREAD HOW IMPORTANT
TORAH LEARNING IS TO G=D.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH MEDIA YOU USE TO GET THIS
MESSAGE OVER TO ORTHODOX JEWS AND NON ORTHODOX JEWS.
PASSING ON G=D'S MESSAGE ( IN WHAT EVER WAY )
IS A KIDDUSH HASHEM .

NO INDIVIDUALITY
IN TODAYS WORLD YIDEN ARE LIKE THE GOYIM.
THEY HOVE NO INDIVIDUALITY.
MY WIFE SAYS THAT ONE COPIES THE OTHER .
THEY ALL WEAR BLACK CLOTHES.
THE SAME IS WITH THE HEAD COVERING ,
THEY ALL WEAR A SHEITEL AND SOMETHING ON TOP.
THE FRUITS FROM THE CHILDREN WHOSE MOTHERS JUST WORE SHEITELS
AND EVEN WENT TO NON JEWISH SCHOOLS
WE CAN SEE IN TO-DAYS CHILDREN.
IF THE NEXT GENERATION IS GOING TO BE AS GOOD
I DO NOT THINK SO.
THERE IS MORE TO YIDDISHE MAMMES TZNIOUS THEN JUST
ANOTHER COVERING ON THE HEAD.
I AM OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN THE WEDDINGS OF SOME OF
THE PARENTS AND EVEN THE GRAND PARENTS.
THE YOUNGSTERS OF TO-DAY NEED AND NEED.
THEY DON'T STOP SAYING I MUST HAVE THIS AND MUST HAVE THAT.
IF YOUR PARENTS WERE POOR YOU RESPECTED YOUR PARENTS.
YOU CAN NOT HAVE A WEDDING LIKE THE RICH GIRLS.
A HEAD COVERING DOES NOT MAKE YIDDISHKEIT,
BEHAVIOUR AND MIDDOS MAKES AND IS YIDDISHKEIT.
THEY HOVE NO INDIVIDUALITY.

ZIONISIM
I LATELY SAW A VIDEO OF SOME PEOPLE, I THINK IT WAS IN THE U.S.A.
DEMONSTRATING AGAINST RABBI STEINMAN SHOUTING AGAINST HIM
YEMACH SHEMO !
THE REASON BEING THAT HE DOES NOT AGREE WITH SATMAR ,ON THE POINTS
OF AGUDAS YISROEL.
RABBI ELIEZER DOVID FRIEDMAN THE ROV OF BELZ 99 BETHUNE ROAD IN LONDON TOLD ME A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WAS A DEMONSTRATION AGAINST
RABBI STEINMAN IN GOLDERS GREEN:
"HE KNOWS RABBI STEINMAN FROM YEARS AGO AND THAT HE IS A KODOSH VETOHOR".
EVEN THOUGH HE DOES NOT THINK LIKE SATMAR,
( SPECIALLY SATMARES HAVE THAT, WAY THAT THEY ARE INSULTING AND ABUSIVE WITH BAD LANGUAGE TO ANYONE WHO DOES NOT THINK LIKE THEM )
IT EASY TO JOIN THERE RANKS AND BECOME A SATMARER.
YOU CAN DO WHAT EVER YOU LIKE AS LONG AS YOU ARE AGAINST
THE STATE AND AGAINST AGUDA YISROEL.
FOR JOINING THE KNESSET IN ISRAEL.
WHICH THEY DID WITH THE BLESSING OF THE GEDOLIM.
TO HELP THE JEWS OF ISRAEL GET THEIR RIGHTS IN THE STATE
THEY ARE ZIONISTS ACCORDING TO SATMAR.
HOWEVER FRUM AND SHOMER TORAH UMTZVOS YOU ARE, HAS NO VALUE
IF YOU SUPPORT THE AGUDA THATS THE WAY THEY THINK.
I DO NOT THINK THAT THE HOLY SATMAR REBBE REALLY THOUGHT THAT.
LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE JOINED THEIR RANKS AND THEY HAVE BECOME A BIG CROWD WHO HAVE TAKEN THAT ATTITUDE AS THE SATMAR CHASIDUS.
LOTS OF RABBONIM AND EVEN OTHER RABBIS FEEL THAT IF THEY HAVE A BIG CROWD BEHIND THEM WHICH SATMAR HAS, THEY BECOME IMPORTANT,
THAT THEY ARE BIG RABBONIM OR RABBIS,
SO IT IS IN THEIR INTEREST TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE SATMAR CHASSIDIM.
THE JEWISH CHRONICLE THINKS LIKE THESE RABONIM .
NOT WHETHER A THING IS RIGHT OR WRONG JUST BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE
BEHIND THEM.
AND THESE RABBONIM YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A PROPER DIN TORAH IF A THING IS RIGHT OR WRONG.
THEY JUST LOOK AT WHAT SATMAR WILL SAY.
THAT IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE RABBONIM TODAY.
ANYTHING SATMAR SAYS IS RIGHT.

WE DON'T CARE
THERE WAS A TRAGEDY HERE IN LONDON,
A YUNGERMAN WENT TO THE MIKVAH.
HE WAS ONE OF THOSE FUNNY PEOPLE WHO HOLD THEIR BREATH
AND STAY UNDER THE WATER A LONG TIME.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THESE PEOPLE DO THIS.
I HAVE ASKED A LOT OF RABBONIM AND THEY CAN NOT SEE THE POINT IN THIS BEHAVIOUR.
BUT IN TO-DAY'S WORLD EVERYTHING IS YIDDISHKEIT.
IF YOU ASK THEM ON THEIR BEHAVIOUR, THEY TELL YOU TO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
THERE WAS ANOTHER YUNGERMAN IN THE MIKVAH WHO
DID NOT MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS, AND TAPED HIM ON THE SHOULDER.
HE REALISED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND CALLED OTHER PEOPLE
TO PULL HIM OUT,THEY QUICKLY CALLED THE HATZOLA
BUT THE YUNGERMAN WAS DEAD.
THIS YUNGERMAN WHO TAPED HIM ON THE SHOULDER TOLD ME
THAT HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND, AS HE WENT IN TO THE WATERS OF THE MIKVAH WHERE THIS YUNGERMAN WAS UNDER THE WATER A LONG TIME
ANOTHER PERSON WAS JUST GOING OUT OF THE WATERS OF THE MIKVAH,
HE WAS IN THE ACTUALLY IN THE WATER OF THE MIKVAH WITH THIS PERSON FOR A BIT, WHO WAS A LONG TIME UNDER THE WATER.
BUT " MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS" IS SO IMPORTANT AND G=D FORBID YOU MIGHT LOOK A FOOL.
A COUSIN OF MINE CAME INTO A MIKVAH A FEW YEARS AGO.
AND THERE WAS A MAN DOING THE SAME THING, STAYING UNDER THE WATER A LONG TIME.
MY COUSIN RAN INTO THE MIKVAH WITH ALL HIS CLOTH ON AND PULLED HIM UP,
THE MAN TURNED TO MY COUSIN SAYING " WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME " ?
MY COUSIN FELT A REAL FOOL.
BUT TO-DAY IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE CORRECT " MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS"
AND THAT'S WHY WE GET LOOTERS AND THE POLICE STAND BY AND DO NOTHING.
BECAUSE THEY MIGHT NOT CHALLENGE THE LOOTERS IN THE RIGHT WAY.
I CAN NOT HELP THINKING IF THIS YUNGERMAN HAD INTERFERED
RATHER THEN MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS,
THIS MAN MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.

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".
THE INTENTION WAS TO DEGRADE RABBI YITZCHOK MEIR LEVIN,
THE LEADER OF AGUDAS YISROEL.

THE ANGEL ANSWERED THAT IS PART OF THEIR GAN EDEN

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.
TO BE NEAR TO G=D.
I DO THIS THROUGH LEARNING TORAH, KEEPING MITZVOS
AND I THINK ABOUT G=D, A LOT IN LIFE.

MY LEARNING TORAH
THE MUSSAR SEFORIM SAY THAT IF YOU SEE THAT YOUR YETZER HORAH
PUTS A LOT OF EMPHASIS AND DISTURBS YOU ON DOING A CERTAIN MITZVAH.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS MITZVAH HAS GREAT VALUE IN HEAVEN FOR YOU.
SOMEONE ONCE SAID TO ME: " NO WONDER YOU LEARN ,
YOU AND YOUR TWIN BROTHER HAVE A MAD DESIRE TO LEARN".
I TOLD HIM," WE PRAYED VERY HARD FOR THIS THAT WE SHOULD LOVE TORAH LEARNING AND WENT TO GEDOLEI YISROEL FOR BROCHOS."
WE DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE THIS AND WE PRAYED EVERY DAY IN OUR PRAYERS.
" HASHEM,OUR G=D SWEETEN THE WORDS OF YOUR TORAH IN OUR MOUTH "
THIS I ALSO THANK G=D PLANTED INTO MY CHILDREN.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY TORAH LEARNING HAS A GREAT VALUE IN HEAVEN ?
BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SPECIALLY IN SATMAR
WHEN THEY WANT TO GET EVEN WITH YOU FOR THE TRUTHFUL TELEVISION PROGRAM
I MADE WHERE I JUST EXPLAINED TO THE NON-ORTHODOX JEWS WHAT THE DUTY OF A JEW IS.
HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE STUPID ALEX STROM FROM THE JEWISH TRIBUNE,
WRITING ABOUT IT , WANTING TO GET EVEN WITH ME ,
NON OF THE FRUMERS WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT.
THE ONLY WAY PEOPLE TRY TO GET EVEN WITH ME IS TO BREAK MY TORAH SHIURIM.
THIS I PRAY TO G=D THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO.
MY TORAH MUST HAVE A GREAT PLACE IN HEAVEN
AND THAT IS MY TEST MAY G=D HELP ME.
PUTS A LOT OF EMPHASIS AND DISTURBS YOU ON DOING A CERTAIN MITZVAH.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS MITZVAH HAS GREAT VALUE IN HEAVEN FOR YOU.
SOMEONE ONCE SAID TO ME: " NO WONDER YOU LEARN ,
YOU AND YOUR TWIN BROTHER HAVE A MAD DESIRE TO LEARN".
I TOLD HIM," WE PRAYED VERY HARD FOR THIS THAT WE SHOULD LOVE TORAH LEARNING AND WENT TO GEDOLEI YISROEL FOR BROCHOS."
WE DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE THIS AND WE PRAYED EVERY DAY IN OUR PRAYERS.
" HASHEM,OUR G=D SWEETEN THE WORDS OF YOUR TORAH IN OUR MOUTH "
THIS I ALSO THANK G=D PLANTED INTO MY CHILDREN.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY TORAH LEARNING HAS A GREAT VALUE IN HEAVEN ?
BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SPECIALLY IN SATMAR
WHEN THEY WANT TO GET EVEN WITH YOU FOR THE TRUTHFUL TELEVISION PROGRAM
I MADE WHERE I JUST EXPLAINED TO THE NON-ORTHODOX JEWS WHAT THE DUTY OF A JEW IS.
HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE STUPID ALEX STROM FROM THE JEWISH TRIBUNE,
WRITING ABOUT IT , WANTING TO GET EVEN WITH ME ,
NON OF THE FRUMERS WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT.
THE ONLY WAY PEOPLE TRY TO GET EVEN WITH ME IS TO BREAK MY TORAH SHIURIM.
THIS I PRAY TO G=D THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO.
MY TORAH MUST HAVE A GREAT PLACE IN HEAVEN
AND THAT IS MY TEST MAY G=D HELP ME.

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.

COPYING OTHERS
ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS AGO A MAN CAME TO A TOWN, ON HIS HORSE.
A PERSON CAME UP TO HIM AND TOLD HIM
NOT TO RIDE AROUND IN THIS TOWN ON A HORSE.
AS IN THIS TOWN EVERYBODY RIDES AROUND ON A BROOM STICK ,
AND THINKS IT IS A HORSE.
HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SHOULD HE RIDE AROUND ON A BROOM STICK, LIKE THE REST OF THE TOWN ?
OR SHOULD HE RIDE AROUND ON HIS HORSE ?
IF HE RIDES AROUND ON A HORSE HE IS MAD BY THEM,
IF HE RIDES AROUND ON A BROOM STICK HE WILL BE MAD IN HIS OWN EYES.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE MAD IN YOUR EYES ,
OR BE MAD IN OTHER PEOPLE'S EYES ?
HE WENT TO ASK THE RABBI OF THE TOWN WHAT TO DO.
THE RABBI TOLD HIM TO DO LIKE THE REST OF THE TOWN ,
BUT YOU SHOULD NOT THINK THAT THIS BROOM STICK IS A HORSE ,YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT IT IS A BROOM STICK.
I HAVE NOT GOT THE PATIENCE TO EXPLAIN THIS LESSON OF LIFE MORE CLEARLY.

FROM THE PEN OF FRADEL BERGER
FRADEL BERGER WAS ILL FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE SHE WAS PLUCKED FROM OUR MIDST AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 53 (1929-1983).
AS SHE WAS DRIFTING INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS, SHE SAID PLEASE PASS ON MY POEMS.
SHE FELT HASHEM'S PRESENCE AND GUIDING HAND AS IS EXPRESSED IN MANY OF HER POEMS.
L I F E
Life is a mixture
Of sunshine and rain
Laughter and teardrops
Pleasure and pain
Low tides and high tides
Triumphs, defeats
Losses and gains
But ALWAYS in ALL WAYS
Hashem is guiding and leading
And He alone knows
The things we're most needing
When he sends sorrow
Or some dreaded affliction
Be assured that it comes
With Hashem's benediction
And if we accept
That it's given with love
We'll be showered with blessings
From Hashem above

KIDDUSH HASHEM
ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, I WAS FLYING FROM LONDON HEATHROW AIR PORT, BY BRITISH AIRWAYS TO TEL-AVIV.
WE FLEW ON A JUMBO-JET WHICH HAD TEN SEATS IN A ROW,
THREE THEN FOUR AND THREE AGAIN.
BEHIND ME IN THE ROW OF FOUR THERE WERE TWO COUPLES FROM HAIFA ISRAEL.
THEY HAD A BOOK SHOP IN HADAR, HAR CARMEL IN HAIFA .
THEIR FAMILY NAMES WERE "DERBAMDIGER",
A VERY FAMOUS NAME BY JEWISH PEOPLE "DERBAMDIGER" THE HOLY BERDICHOVER REBBE'S NAME.
AND THEN THEY GAVE OUT BRITISH AIRWAYS MEALS WHICH WERE NOT KOSHER.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS PLANE HAD OVER FOUR HUNDRED PASSENGERS. NOT ALL WERE JEWISH.
I WAS SITING IN THE ROW OF FOUR AND BEHIND IN THE ROW OF FOUR WERE SITTING THE TWO COUPLES DERBARMDIGER.
THEY OF COURSE DID NOT TAKE THE KEDASIA MEAL.
AND THEY ALSO DID NOT WANT THE FEDERATION MEALS.
THEY ASKED FOR THE BRITISH AIRWAYS MEALS WHICH CONTAINED HAM ( PIG ) ! ! !
I SAID TO HIM TO LET THEM EAT PIG WAS A CHILLUL HASHEM, TO STOP THEM,
IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW, WAS A KIDDUSH HASHEM.
MAKING A TOLLERANT AND UNDERSTANDING IMPRESSION AND LETTING THEM EAT PIG ( they have a right to their way in life)
IS A DOWN RIGHT CHILLUL HASHEM.
I EXPLAINED TO THE NON-SPEAKING HEBREW IN ENGLISH, AND THEN TO THE HEBREW SPEAKING PEOPLE IN HEBREW; "THERE IS KOSHER AVAILABLE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO EAT TREIF (PIG)".
YOU CAN NOT IMAGINE HOW THE NON ORTHODOX PEOPLE RAN UP TO THEM, HE IS RIGHT THERE IS KOSHER AVAILABLE, EAT KOSHER!
ONE OF THE COUPLES SHOUTED AT ME. "GO INTO THE ARMY" !
I SAID TO HIM; " YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE ARMY, THEY WILL DIE AND YOU WILL SHOUT AT G=D WHY DID THEY DIE, YOU KNOW WHY, BECAUSE YOU EAT PIG AND YOU DO NOT RESPECT G=D'S TORAH, WHY SHOULD G=D RESPECT YOU?
THIS IS CLEARLY WRITTEN IN THE TORAH.
AS SOON AS I SAID THIS THEY REFRAINED FROM EATING THE HAM.
WE FLEW ON A JUMBO-JET WHICH HAD TEN SEATS IN A ROW,
THREE THEN FOUR AND THREE AGAIN.
BEHIND ME IN THE ROW OF FOUR THERE WERE TWO COUPLES FROM HAIFA ISRAEL.
THEY HAD A BOOK SHOP IN HADAR, HAR CARMEL IN HAIFA .
THEIR FAMILY NAMES WERE "DERBAMDIGER",
A VERY FAMOUS NAME BY JEWISH PEOPLE "DERBAMDIGER" THE HOLY BERDICHOVER REBBE'S NAME.
WHEN THEY WERE DISTRIBUTING THE MEALS, THEY HAD 102 KEDASIA MEALS.
AND THEN THEY GAVE KOSHER MEALS FROM THE EL-AL KITCHEN IN HEATROW AIR PORT, WHICH WAS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE FEDERATION.AND THEN THEY GAVE OUT BRITISH AIRWAYS MEALS WHICH WERE NOT KOSHER.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS PLANE HAD OVER FOUR HUNDRED PASSENGERS. NOT ALL WERE JEWISH.
I WAS SITING IN THE ROW OF FOUR AND BEHIND IN THE ROW OF FOUR WERE SITTING THE TWO COUPLES DERBARMDIGER.
THEY OF COURSE DID NOT TAKE THE KEDASIA MEAL.
AND THEY ALSO DID NOT WANT THE FEDERATION MEALS.
THEY ASKED FOR THE BRITISH AIRWAYS MEALS WHICH CONTAINED HAM ( PIG ) ! ! !
AS SOON AS I OBSERVED THAT, I TURNED AROUND TO THEM AND TOLD THEM, " I WILL NOT LET YOU EAT PIG."
A CHASSIDISHE MAN SITTING NEXT TO ME SAID," DON'T MAKE A CHILLUL HASHEM".I SAID TO HIM TO LET THEM EAT PIG WAS A CHILLUL HASHEM, TO STOP THEM,
IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW, WAS A KIDDUSH HASHEM.
I ALSO SAID TO HIM;
WE THINK WE HAVE TO BE LIKED BY EVERYONE IS A KIDDUSH HASHEM?MAKING A TOLLERANT AND UNDERSTANDING IMPRESSION AND LETTING THEM EAT PIG ( they have a right to their way in life)
IS A DOWN RIGHT CHILLUL HASHEM.
THE DERBARMDIGER COUPLE SAID TO ME IN YIDDISH; " WHAT CAN YOU DO" ? I SAID TO THEM " YOU WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO".
I GOT UP ON MY SEAT AND STARTED SHOUTING; "PIG THESE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO EAT PIG".I EXPLAINED TO THE NON-SPEAKING HEBREW IN ENGLISH, AND THEN TO THE HEBREW SPEAKING PEOPLE IN HEBREW; "THERE IS KOSHER AVAILABLE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO EAT TREIF (PIG)".
YOU CAN NOT IMAGINE HOW THE NON ORTHODOX PEOPLE RAN UP TO THEM, HE IS RIGHT THERE IS KOSHER AVAILABLE, EAT KOSHER!
ONE OF THE COUPLES SHOUTED AT ME. "GO INTO THE ARMY" !
I SAID TO HIM; " YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE ARMY, THEY WILL DIE AND YOU WILL SHOUT AT G=D WHY DID THEY DIE, YOU KNOW WHY, BECAUSE YOU EAT PIG AND YOU DO NOT RESPECT G=D'S TORAH, WHY SHOULD G=D RESPECT YOU?
THIS IS CLEARLY WRITTEN IN THE TORAH.
AS SOON AS I SAID THIS THEY REFRAINED FROM EATING THE HAM.
WE HAVE TO LEARN WHAT IS A CHILLUL HASHEM AND WHAT IS A KIDDUSH HASHEM.

THE JEWISH TRIBUNE
A FEW YEARS BACK BEFORE THE NEWSHEET AND UPDATE,
I HEARD THAT THE LONDON JEWISH TRIBUNE WAS IN TROUBLE.
SO I WENT TO ITCHY MEIR CYMERMAN, I GAVE HIM AN IDEA,
" MAKE THE TRIBUNE FREE AND DISTRIBUTE IT TO ALL HOUSEHOLDS IN STAMFORD HILL, GOLDERS GREEN, MANCHESTER, AND GATESHEAD.
GIVE HALF A PAGE FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS WEDDING CARDS FREE, (THAT IS TWO INVITATIONS ON ONE PAGE)"
LOOK WHERE THE NEWSHEET AND UPDATE ARE TO-DAY.
JOE LOBESTIEN HAS DONE A HEART WARMING THING, GIVING A FEW LINES OF CREDIT,
TO FACES FROM THE PAST, EDITOR ELI SILBERMAN.
ONLY BECAUSE A FEW WEEKS AGO, HE MADE A" FACES FROM THE PAST" ON JOE'S FATHER.
BUT THAT IS BETTER THEN THE BALAY TESUVA ( B.T. ) EDITOR AND DIRECTOR OF THE TRIBUNE AND AGUDA.
WHOM I HAD TO BEG SIX MONTH AGO, TO PUT ELI'S NAME ON THE PAGE OF "FACES FROM THE PAST."
MARTIN .D. STERN FROM SALFORD MANCHESTER WRITES;
A VERY SENSIBLE LETTER, ABOUT SEGREGATION ON THE BUSES IN ISRAEL.
( WE SHOULD SERIOUSLY THINK OF HIM TAKING OVER HERE AND THERE )
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I WAS IN ISRAEL WITH MY WIFE, WE GOT ON THE 402 BUS IN JERUSALEM
I SET DOWN NEXT TO MY WIFE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUS, THE END OF THE MEN'S PART.
OTHER CHASIDIM GETTING ON THE BUS DID NOT CARE, IT WAS CHOLEY MOED AND I HAD MY SPODIK ON.
A GERER CHOSSID GOT ON THE BUS AND OBJECTED, ME SITTING NEXT TO MY DEAR WIFE.
I DO NOT ARGUE QUIETLY,
I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD A HETTER FROM A ROV
HE ASKED ME WHICH ROV?
I SAID THE ROV THAT GAVE US CHOPA KIDUSHIN,
TO WHICH ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE BUS CLAPPED THEIR HANDS.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT GERER CHASSIDIM MAKE THEIR YIDDISHKEIT IN SEGREGATING THE MEN AND WOMEN.
THE REST OF FAMILY TZNIUS DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM.
THE LEV SIMCHA TOLD ME PERSONALLY BEFORE MY CHASUNA, (I WAS VERY NEAR TO HIM)
THE WOMEN ARE THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY JEWISH HOUSE AND IN A JEWISH WOMAN LIES HOW THE JEWISH CHILDREN WILL LOOK.
THE CHILDREN HAVE TO SEE THE LOVE OF G=D AND THE LOVE OF YOUR JEWISH PARTNER THESE GO TOGETHER.

LONELINESS AND ISOLATION
I HAVE TO START BY TELLING YOU, THAT EVERY STORY I WRITE ARE NOT FANTASY BUT TRUE.
A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS VERY DOWN.
ONE FRIDAY NIGHT I DID NOT LET IT EFFECT MY FAMILY.
AFTER EATING, I WENT TO BED AND AS I WAS LYING IN BED,
I WAS THINKING A LOT ABOUT MY LIFE,
THE ISOLATION OF PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING ME AND THE LONELINESS THIS BROUGHT.
I DREAMT THAT THE BEIS YISROEL Z.L.,
MY RABBI, I MET HIM IN MY DREAM AND TOLD HIM THAT I HAVE NO FRIENDS,
PEOPLE I THOUGHT, WERE MY FRIENDS, AS SOON AS THEY DID NOT LIKE THINGS I DID.
DIDN'T EVEN WANT AN EXPLANATION OR TO DEBATE IF I WAS RIGHT OR WRONG,
STOPPED TALKING TO ME INSULTED ME ETC,ETC,
THE REBBE TOLD ME TO MAKE G=D YOUR FRIEND.
WHICH I DID, I TRAINED MY IMAGINATION TO THINK THAT THE RIBONO SHEL OLAM WAS STANDING NEXT TO ME AND
I USED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT ALL MY PROBLEMS.
IF I WAS SITTING IN A SHIUR AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING,
I USED TO TURN TO MY GOOD FRIEND TO OPEN MY MIND.
THE SAME WAS IF I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING GOING WRONG ON THE LAPTOP, ETC,ETC,
I ALWAYS TURNED TO MY BEST FRIEND, WHO ACCEPTED ME IN MY CIRCUMSTANCES,WHAT EVER I DID.
TODAY I HAVE NO PROBLEMS IN UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING, I JUST TURN TO MY BEST FRIEND AND HE HELPS ME.
ONE SHABBOS MORNING I WAS WALKING IN STAMFORD HILL ON MY WAY TO DAVEN .
A FEW GOYIM WERE COMING OPPOSITE ME, THEY HAD TWO BIG DOGS WITH THEM.
THEY RELEASED THE DOGS AND TOLD THEM TO ATTACK ME.
I TURNED TO MY TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND, WHAT DO I DO ?
THE DOGS CAME WITHIN TWO FEET OF ME WENT QUIET STOPPED BARKING.
THE GOYIM TRIED TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ATTACK ME BUT THEY WOULD NOT MOVE.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BELIEVE ME YOU CAN ALL TRY IT.

TORAH
THE TORAH IS THE BOOK WHICH TELLS US WHAT G=D WANTS, FROM THE HUMAN RACE AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORLD.
ONLY JEWS , AS IS WRITTEN IN THE TORAH ON MOUNT SINAI WERE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE ,( I DO NOT KNOW WHY ),
HAVE A COMMITMENT FROM G=D,TO KEEP THE 613 MITZVOS WRITTEN IN THE TORAH.
BUT EVERYBODY HAS A COMMITMENT, TO BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD IS G=D'S AND HE WANTS US TO LIVE A LIFE OF BELIEVING .
BUT THE HUMAN RACE, JEWS AND NON JEWS, WANT SECURITY AND CAN NOT BELIEVE IN SOMETHING THEY CANT SEE.
AND THE MORE WE TRY TO MAKE OUR LIFE SECURE IN COUNTRIES, MONEY,ETC.ETC,
HE CAUSES DISASTERS IN THE WORLD,EARTH QUAKES AND TSUNAMIS THE MONEY MARKET COLLAPSING.
COMPANIES GO BUST AND OUR SECURITY. OF EMPLOYMENT GOES DOWN THE DRAIN.
WE HAVE TO RETURN TO BELIEVING IN G=D AND SAYING A LITTLE PRAYER AND THANKING HIM EVERY DAY.
THAT'S WHAT JEWISH LIFE AND NON JEWISH LIFE IS ALL ABOUT.
BY HOOK OR BY CROOK G=D WILL MAKE US SEE IN THE END THAT THERE IS NO RELIABILITY ONLY TO BELIEVE.
THAT'S THE TEST OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE.

GATESHEAD YESHIVA
IN THE JEWISH TRIBUNE 21 JULY 2011
GENERATION OF GATESHEAD GRADUATES WENT, HIS NAME SYNONYMOUSLY WITH THE YESHIVA
AND THE HUNDREDS OF BNEI TORAH WHO CAME UNDER HIS INFLUENCE,INCULDING MY SON.
HERE IN ONE SINGLE BEIS HAMEDRASH ONE CAN FIND YIDDISH-SPEAKING CHASSIDIM,
FRENCH SPEAKING SEPHARDIM.
AS WELL AS THE MAJORITY ENGLISH BOCHURIM .
BUT THE CHASIDISHER YESHIVAS ARE THE SAME.
PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ME ANY MORE WITH DROP-OUTS.
THE GATESHEAD YESHIVA WAS STARTED BY A SMALL GROUP OF IDEALISTIC JEWS.
BUT THIS DID NOT STAY LIKE THAT. AS SOON AS RAV MATTISYOHU SALOMON LEFT AND THE DISTINCT IMPRINT,
OF RABBI MATTISYOHU SALOMON.GENERATION OF GATESHEAD GRADUATES WENT, HIS NAME SYNONYMOUSLY WITH THE YESHIVA
AND THE HUNDREDS OF BNEI TORAH WHO CAME UNDER HIS INFLUENCE,INCULDING MY SON.
THE UNIQUE FACTS OF GATESHEAD YESHIVA IS IT'S ACCEPTANCE POLICY OF ANY SERIOUS TALMID
REGARDLESS OF HIS BACKGROUND.HERE IN ONE SINGLE BEIS HAMEDRASH ONE CAN FIND YIDDISH-SPEAKING CHASSIDIM,
FRENCH SPEAKING SEPHARDIM.
AS WELL AS THE MAJORITY ENGLISH BOCHURIM .
THIS ALL CHANGED WHEN THE CHASSIDIM HATING MONEY LOVING RAV YOSEF ARON OPPENHEIMER
RID THE YESHIVA OF ALL THE CHASDISHER BOCHERIM UNLESS YOU HAD MONEYBUT THE CHASIDISHER YESHIVAS ARE THE SAME.
YOU HAVE NO PLACE UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY.
SADLY IT IS THE SAME IN GIRLS SCHOOLS AND CHADORIM.PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ME ANY MORE WITH DROP-OUTS.

ELAZER ABUCHATZEIRA
THE MAN WHO STABBED TO DEATH ,RABBI ELAZER ABUCHATZEIRA
WAS UPSET THAT A BLESSING HE HAD RECEIVED FROM THE RELIGIOUS FIGURE,
DID NOT MATERIALIZE.
ISRAEL'S CHIEF RABBI ,YONA METZGER
SHOULD KNOW BETTER
THEN BY SAYING THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE,
HISTORY IS FULL OF THAT,
ZECHARIA HANOVI , TZOM GEDALIA.
WE ASK OURSELVES HOW THIS HAPPENED ?
THIS HAS BEEN THE MISTAKE OF
JEWISH PEOPLE SINCE THE GOLDEN CALVE.
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A MIDDLE FIGURE TO PRAY TO G-D,
EVERYBODY CAN PRAY WHERE EVER HE IS TO G-D.
WE DON'T NEED A WAILING WALL
A SYNAGOGUE, A GRAVE OF A HOLY MAN, ETC,ETC,
AS IT IS WRITTEN:
" HASHEM IS CLOSE TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM,
TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM SINCERELY "
THE MAIN MISTAKE IS BY THESE RABBIS ,WHO PROMISE PEOPLE THINGS THEY CAN NOT KEEP.
AND STUPID PEOPLE ,WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE POSITION OF A RABBI, OR TZADIK,
THE RABBI PRAYS TO G=D FOR YOU BUT G=D MIGHT SAY NO.
AND WHEN PEOPLE GIVE MONEY,
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END.
WE HAVE TO TEACH PEOPLE ,THAT NOT ALWAYS THE BLESSING OF A HOLY PERSON WORKS.

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.
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.

COMMITMENT vs COMPATIBILITY
THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN BY REBBETZIN R. PINTER OF 22 FAIRHOLT ROAD LONDON N 16 5 HW PHONE 020 8802 3723.
I still remember my mother used to tell
How my uncle's shidduch came about may he be well
The shadchan came to his father,a shidduch to suggest
A girl a Tania a feine -mamesh the best
My grandfather said: But she's so talkative, full of life
My son is so quiet,how could she be his wife ?
Never mind ,said the shachan , She'll make him talk,
he'll make her tame.
And lo and behold,the shidduch became
Sixty years down the line
They're both doing absolutely fine.
Their marriage is as solid as a rock
A house filled with grandchildren kein ayin hara, their stock
Because the word " compatible" was not yet introduced
The word " commitment" was always used.
My father's family was full of fun, humor in every word
My mother's family was serious, of wit they had never heard
They ( my parents ) were so different in many ways
" Incompatible " it's called nowadays
Yet we children grew up in a home, feeling sure
That we are a family, solid and secure.
My parents were married for almost sixty years
And after my father's passing,my mother never dried her tears
Because the word " compatible " was not yet introduced
The word " commitment " was always used.
I have a relation who's one of a kind
A girl/gem like her was hard to find
Her marriage was a disappointment, the family was upset
Her father tried to encourage a get
Father,she said, Hashem gave him to me
I will stay with him until a hundred and twenty
And now,fifty years later he's a king, she's a queen
Such a lovely couple you have never seen
They built a home where the shechinah can rest
With flying colors they passed the test
Because the word " compatible" was not yet introduce
The word " commitment " was always used
Part of the problem today is, girls are too bright
It's therefore hard for them to find Mr Right
No one is prepared to commit herself
They expect a perfect shidduch right off the shelf.
She needs a boy spiritually strong
A boy who sits and learns all day long
He must daven ehrlich with the right kavanah
Be righteous and stable in his emunah
Have middos tovos, be gentle and more
Never to have missed minyan before
Otherwise,her bashert he cannot be
She deserves someone better, you see
With a girl, It's not the same
For her It's easy to earn a good name
The ladder of success she can climb
Without proving what she does all the time
On Shabbous and Yom Tov she can sleep all day
Without a rebuke she will get away
She can read a book or just relax a bit
Say some Tehillim if she feels like it
For doing chessed, she'll get extra credit
And if she can also cook blintzes, she's an absolute hit.
She gets a job and makes a good wage
And by the time she reaches the shidduch stage
She considers herself a top catch
So who on earth can be her match ?
When she finally gets married she will expect
Her marriage to be absolutely perfect
The kind she's dreamed of for many years
Without any obstacles, without any cares
She doesn't want to know ,she doesn't understand
That marriage is not a magic wand.
She's not ready to accept to relent
That no one is perfect a hundred percent
Dear single,dear doubles,let's get this straight
Chochmas nashim does not mean " dictate "
Chochmas nashim means to build,not to brake
To be able to give, not expecting to take
To guide,to help,to be able to ensure
That her home is a place safe and secure
Whatever the situation,she should be able to cope
To instill in her family courage and hope.
Sometimes there are challenges hard to get by
But she will succeed if she will only try.
Adjust to your partner is what you need to do
Because then life will adjust to you
Then Hashem will help you build a family
And live ever together happily.

HIDABROOT
SOMEONE TOLD ME YESTERDAY THAT IN 1948 WHEN THE UN VOTE WAS TAKING PLACE TO ESTABLISH THE STATE OF ISRAEL THE SATMAR RABBI Z.L. SAID THAT THE VOTE WONT GO THROUGH AND THEY WILL NOT HAVE A STATE,
WELL HE WAS WRONG
THEN HE SAID THAT THE STATE WONT LAST MORE THEN THIRTY YEARS AND THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A GROWTH IN TORAH.
WELL THANK G-D HE WAS WRONG IN THAT TOO.
WHEN I WAS IN YESHIVA IN 1962 ,THE TO-DAY BELZR RABBI GOT A LOT OF HADROCHO.
( HE WAS STILL A BOCHER ) FROM THE GERER RABBI THE BEIS YISROEL Z.L.
( I SAW THAT WITH MY OWN EYES ).
HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING HIM A RABBE.
( HE SAW IN HIM THE FUTURE GENERATION ) AND WHAT A REBBE IN THE 2000 NEEDS TO BE AND HAVE.
TO - DAY WHEN I SEE THE HIDABROOT WHICH THE BELZER RABBE HAS ESTABLISHED, .
I UNDERSTAND THE BEIS YISROEL.
THROUGH THE INTERNET AND THE T.V, CHANNELS WE HAVE A CHANCE TO REACH AND TEACH THOUSANDS AND MAYBE MILLIONS OF YIDEN WHAT TORAH IS.
THEY SAY WE SHOULD NOT MOVE AWAY FROM THE OLD WAYS.
DO I SEE THESE RABBES TRAVELING IN A HORSE AND CART OR NOT USING THE LUXURIES WHICH TIME HAS BROUGHT ?
I WAS MOST AMAZED TO SEE HOW MANY HEIMISHER CHASIDISER PEOPLE HAVE INTERNET.
SOMEONE EVEN SAID TO ME WATCHING YOUR PROGRAM ON INTERNET OR I POD IS NOT TELEVISION.
AND I AM NOT TALKING JUST ABOUT ENGLAND.
THE JEWISH TRIBUNE EVEN WRITES ABOUT IT ( DID THEY ASK THE RABBONIM )
WHICH CAUSED EVEN MORE FRUM PEOPLE TO WATCH
( I DID NOT MAKE THE PROGRAM FOR THEM ).
I HOPE B"H I HAVE OPENED PEOPLE'S EYES TO THE REAL PROBLEMS IN OUR SOCIETY.
BLACK MAIL, BLACK MAIL, AND AGAIN BLACK MAIL.
I FINISH WITH THE WORDS OF MY DEAR ESHES CHYEL WHICH THE LEV SIMCHA SAID TO ME
IN A YIDISHER WIFE DEPENDS THE WHOLE YIDISHER HOME
WE ARE FREE! ! !
WELL HE WAS WRONG
THEN HE SAID THAT THE STATE WONT LAST MORE THEN THIRTY YEARS AND THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A GROWTH IN TORAH.

AMY WINEHOUSE
I HAVE READ THROUGH THE FOUR PULLOUT PAGES TRIBUTE TO AMY WINEHOUSE.
HER FATHER,MITCH WINEHOUSE, GAVE A FANTASTIC VIEW OF HIS AND AMYS JEWISH ROOTS AND BACKGROUND.
THEY WROTE ABOUT HER BOBBA,
" SHE'D OPEN UP HER BAG AND ASK WHAT ARE YOU EATING?"
" I'VE GOT A BIT OF CHICKEN OR A BIT OF FISH "
THEIR JEWISH RELIGION WAS FOOD ,HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR ,AND AGAIN FOOD,
ALSO BEING ABLE TO SAY A FEW WORDS IN YIDDISH.
YOU MUST NOT SAY THIS ABOUT A DEAD PERSON, BUT SHE WAS A DISGRACE TO THE JEWISH ( LIGHT UPON THE NATIONS )
PEOPLE.
G-D GAVE THEM A DAUGHTER WITH TALENT THAT PULLED THEM OUT OF POVERTY FROM THE EAST END
AND SHE BECAME A DRUG-ADDICT AND DRUNK.
WHAT AN ANGEL ? ?
WHAT TRIBUTE ?
BUT THAT'S REFORM SYNAGOGUE EDUCATION FOR YOU.
I DO NOT THINK THE UNITED SYNAGOGUES ARE ANY BETTER.
ONLY THE REFORM DID NOT EVEN BURY HER IN THE JEWISH WAY IN EDGWAREBURY LANE CEMETERY.
MITCH TALKED 30 MINUTES ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER'S TROUBLED LIFE,
WHICH SHE BROUGHT ON TO HERSELF THROUGH DRUGS AND DRINK ,
MUMMY AND DADDY LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND THEN INCLUDED THE KADISH PRAYER.
THEN AMY WAS TAKEN BY THE LOVING MUMMY AND DADDY TO GOLDERS GREEN CREMATORIUM
AND CREMATED JUST LIKE THE PEOPLE IN AUSCHWITZ! !
GOOD NIGHT MY ANGEL BURN BRIGHT.

EVEN IF YOU DO NOT PUBLISH THESE LETTERS

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.

WHAT IS A JEW
IN THE HAGADAH WE SAY.
IF HE HAD ( G-D ) BROUGHT US BEFORE MOUNT SINAI, BUT NOT GIVEN US THE TORAH, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SATISFIED US.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW WOULD THAT HAVE SATISFIED US, IF THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF GOING OUT OF EGYPT AND GETTING TO MOUNT SINAI,
WAS TO GET THE TORAH.
THE ANSWER IS THAT IT WOULD HAVE SATISFIED US ,
BECAUSE AT MOUNT SINAI WE WERE ONE PEOPLE, NOT ALL THE SAME BUT WITH ONE AIM.
AS WE FINISH THE GRACE AFTER MEALS WE SAY ,THE LAST PRAYER ,
HASHEM WILL GIVE MIGHT TO HIS PEOPLE ,( AS WE SAW IN THE SIX DAY WAR )
HASHEM WILL BLESS HIS PEOPLE WITH PEACE.
I WAS IN ISRAEL AT THE TIME OF THE SIX DAY WAR.
I SAY THIS WITH TEARS IN MY EYES ,
ALL THE PEOPLE WERE ONE, FROM SECULAR TO NETUREI KARTA. THEY ALL TURNED TO THE RIBONO SHEL OLAM TO PRAY.
THATS WHAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER ON SHAVUOT WE ARE ONE
AND NEED TO PRAY AS ONE.

TELEVISION (2)
WHY ARE JEWISH PEOPLE RELIGIOUS ,OR NOT RELIGIOUS,
FRIGHTENED OF A TRUE PROGRAM ABOUT THEM COMING ON TELEVISION. I EXPLAINED THAT BEING JEWISH IS NOT A RACE ,BUT A RELIGION .
WE GOT THE TORAH ,THAT IS THE 613 MITZVOTH ,ON MOUNT SINAI ,THAT IS WHEN WE BECAME JEWISH.
AND EVERYONE TO- DAY WHO WANTS TO BECOME JEWISH ,AND ACCEPTS ,THE 613 MITZVOTH,
IS AS JEWISH AS I AM .
IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE 613 MITZVOTH ,THEN YOU ARE NOT SO JEWISH AS YOU THINK, EVEN IF YOU ARE BORN A JEW.
ABOUT THE BOYS WHO WENT TO UMAN ( THE SO CALLED DROP- OUTS FROM OSHER SHAPRIO ) WE HAVE IN STAMFORD HILL, NEARLY 100 CHILDREN ,WHO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BEING ACCEPTED IN SCHOOLS ,
ARE YOU SURPRISED ,AFTER THE DEGRADING ,OF THESE CHILDREN THAT THEY TURN OUT TO BE DROP- OUTS? ( ASK OSHER SHAPRIO )THE ONLY SCHOOL IN THE STAMFORD HILL AREA WHO ACCEPT EVERY JEWISH CHILD IS LUBAVTICH.
