More on the TrojanHorse

Rabbi Weissman covered what Rav Mendelson thought of  “those other rabbis/donors” (See all his posts on this blog)

U.S. *Donor *Coalition Says It Will Withhold Funds From Yeshivas That Criticize IDF, Launches Petition

“Criticise”? Does that include the “IDF Soldiers that ‘criticise’ …. Whether Yeshivaleit or not?

The main inciter causing all the maklokes is that wicked woman called the AG! She has caused poverty, street demonstrations, and now a decrease in religious entering the army.

*’wealthy’ and/or *Quasi-Jewish or *questionable?

Is this in response to the Satmar visit recently?

The Religious Trojan Horse……..Divide and Conquer……….

 

Dear YWN,

I hope you will publish this letter, as I find the situation deeply disturbing.

Recently, someone sent me a letter that was signed by dozens of baalei batim, with an effort underway to collect even more signatures. Part of the letter reads as follows (quoted verbatim):

“Therefore, we make our position explicit. We remain wholly committed to the support of Torah, Yeshivas, Kollelim and Talmidei Chachamim — the very life force of our holy nation. And because of that commitment to the Torah Chaim, we cannot in good conscience support institutions whose public posture undermines those charged with defending Jewish life. Accordingly, we will only provide financial support to Torah institutions that do not publicly speak against, protest, or delegitimize the IDF while they bear the burden of defending Jewish lives. This policy will remain in effect until such positions are reconsidered in a manner consistent with the defense of Jewish life.

This stance takes no position on the current debate regarding the draft. It addresses only the propriety of public opposition to the IDF during an ongoing defense of Jewish life.

We state this position in unity and responsibility, confident that the strength of our people lies in the alignment of Torah, security and mutual commitment. Through achdus, may we merit the geulah sheleimah, b’karov.”

It is not my place to personally attack those behind this letter, despite what I view as breathtaking audacity — publicly threatening Torah institutions and, by extension, Gedolei Yisrael, over matters of hashkafah and public expression. But Chazal already warned us what the period before Moshiach would look like. “Chutzpah yasgeh” is not a metaphor. It is a reality we are living through, and this episode feels like a textbook example.

What shocked me most was seeing the names of two close friends of mine on the letter. I reached out to them directly. Both told me the same thing: they were misled. They were not shown the final text, nor were they told clearly what the letter would actually say.

That raises serious questions about the integrity of every single signature on this document.

Ironically, these are often the very same baalei batim who habitually question kol korehs issued by Gedolei Torah, asking whether the Rabbonim truly signed, whether they were misled, or whether the wording was altered. Yet here, the same tactics appear to have been used — only now in reverse, by private individuals seeking to leverage money and influence.

Is there truly no limit to the chutzpah of this generation, where a small group of people with financial means feel empowered to pressure, threaten, and attempt to silence leading Torah figures by dangling funding over their heads?

I am a real person. I am signing this letter sincerely. I am choosing to remain anonymous — not because I lack conviction, but because I genuinely fear being bullied or intimidated by some of those involved.

That fact alone should trouble anyone who still believes we are having an honest, respectful discussion within the Torah world.

Rabbi Winston: Vayechi

 KNOWING that his end was near, Ya’akov began preparing for the “continuity of government.” The era of the Avos was going to end with his death, and he wanted to make sure that no one dropped the ball after it did. Thousands of years of history were at stake, and the destiny of the Jewish People yet to exist. 

How did he do? Well, we’re still here, hobbled, but here. Although, we did “misplace” ten tribes a while back, and some say they’re gone for good. But we don’t hold like that, and we’re still waiting for “Rebi Binyomin” to open our eyes and show us where they are.

And lest you think that Ya’akov Avinu could not have thought that far in advance, the parsha says otherwise:

Ya’akov called for his sons and said, “Gather and I will tell you what will happen to you at the end of days.” (Bereishis 49:1)

End of Days? That’s us. 

So what did he reveal to his son about Acharis HaYomim? Nothing. Some say only a little bit, but who knows what that included? It certainly did not include a date of the final redemption because the Midrash says he didn’t. The prophecy left him, which begs the question about whether Ya’akov himself knew it and was made to forget it, or he too was denied the information at the same time.  

But that begs a different question. Did Ya’akov not realize his plan to reveal the End of Days was a mistake, or did it only become one? Ya’akov was a prophet and more than likely consulted with G–D on all matters of great importance to the future of the Jewish People. Hadn’t he discussed his idea with G–D before actually trying to reveal the hidden?

As mentioned in a previous week, the GR”A explains that there are two levels of redemption, one that is time-critical and one that is nation-critical. The time-based keitz is based upon a pre-ordained and immutable date in history, and if history is not “ready” for it then Divine Providence will do what it must to expedite the process. The event might be brief and seem to pass, but somehow it contributed to the upcoming redemption.

The second level of redemption is nation-based, meaning that a certain amount of the Jewish People have to reach a certain spiritual level for the redemption to occur. It is not a date by which redemption must occur, but a spiritual level by which redemption can occur. Therefore, the GR”A explained, it cannot be tied down by time and therefore, it cannot be predicted. 

The slavery was increased in Egypt before the redemption for that reason. In general, when the Jewish People all of a sudden find themselves looking down the wrong end of the barrel, it usually has to do with this level of redemption. A time-critical level of redemption doesn’t necessarily have to affect the Jewish nation, but a nation-based level certainly will. 

Based upon this, it can be assumed that Ya’akov Avinu had wanted to tell his sons, the nation at that time, when the final redemption would occur. He might have assumed that everything had been made right, and that the “nation” was ready for the complete redemption. His loss of prophecy proved otherwise.

This can be backed up by the Gemora that says that Ya’akov questioned the spiritual level of his sons after the prophecy left him. That’s when he realized that all was not as it may have appeared on the outside. And even though the brothers said otherwise, Ya’akov, according to the Zohar, didn’t buy it and, perhaps, only told them about the time-based level of redemption. 

Many generations of Jews have since followed and, apparently, still not fixed everything. Being the last generation to do it, we can now understand why history took a sudden turn south and we find ourselves scrambling to deal with it.

Hopefully, the tikun has been accumulative, and our share of the tikun process won’t have to be too dramatic.

Chazak!

THE ANGEL WHO SAVES US

 

“Chazak Chazak v’nischazaik!”

OY! Do we need chizzuk now! Now we are “going it alone!” Our fathers are gone, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov! Our shevatim are gone and we are descending into the terrible Golus!

My friends, this is today! “Maase avos siman l’banim!” Just as our forefathers descended into Golus, so are we, deep within it! And we don’t even realize! It feels so natural! Aren’t we supposed to be in New York and London and … Sydney?

OY! No! This is an aberration. This is not where we are supposed to be. Things will not be normal until we are all gathered together in Eretz Hakodesh as one mishpacha, each man under his own vine and fig tree!

How will we survive until then? This week we hear from Yaakov Avinu those powerful words, “Ha malach ha goail ….” If it were not for the malachim which Hashem sends to protect us, we could not make it. We have been through every torture. Millions have been torn away from us. The fact that any of us remain is a miraculous occurrence because Hashem sends Heavenly protectors to guard us.

I was once criticized by a famous person because I said that I thought maybe I had seen an angel. Let me take you back sixty years, almost to the day. It was January 10, 1966, which, in the Jewish calendar, is 18 Teves. That was the turning point, the day on which I first admitted to myself that maybe there is a G-d in the world! On that day – together with my wife – my life was saved and we came back from the edge of the precipice. I found out on that day that – if one does not know Hashem – then it’s not just that one’s life is on a lower level, but one is dead. Life without Hashem is not life, not in this world and not in the Next World.

Sixty years ago, in the middle of the night, I glimpsed a holy light. I was liberated from my personal Auschwitz. I happened to look in a mirror and saw something which I cannot identify. I know that I may have been hallucinating, and I don’t know what it was, but I saw something. Or maybe I didn’t.

We all have to live in reality, but I say malachim are all around. On Friday night, when we sing “Shalom Aleichem,” I try to believe that I am speaking to the malachim. During Shemoneh Esreh, when we stand with our feet together, I try to attain the status of a malach, who serves Hashem with undivided heart. When I say at night, “B’Shaim Hashem … may Michoel be at my right and Gavriel be at my left ….” I try to believe that I am surrounded and protected on all sides.

In the year 2008, on Motzae Shabbos, my wife and I were returning from a simcha. It was close to midnight. My wife was sleeping in the passenger seat and we were in the middle lane on the Major Deegan Expressway, near Yankee Stadium, going south. Suddenly, a car passed on my left at a speed I estimate to be around 100 miles per hour. He then lost control, swerved across three lanes, hit the embankment and spun around. I slammed on the brake as he careened toward me at highway speed. My wife awoke to see a car hurtling towards us head on. When I braked suddenly, the car behind me slammed into our rear and we were pinned between the two cars with a tremendous crash! The next thing we knew, we were standing on the side of the highway next to our pulverized car, surrounded by dozens of police cars, fire engines and ambulances.

We did not h/ave a scratch. Neither of us. Nothing!

All the police could say was, “How come you guys are alive? Nobody ever gets out of this kind of thing alive. I don’t get it. How come you’re not dead?” This took place on the 14th of Teves.

Since 1966, we have seen miracles year after year in the week of the 18th of Teves.

We all live by miracles. They are mostly not as spectacular as that car crash, but they are all as significant. They happen every minute. Why, in fact, do we end what is probably the most-said bracha with the words,   “rofe kol basar umafli la’asos…?”  What is “mafli la’asos?” It means that Hashem is making miracles for us every minute we walk this earth. “V’atem had’vaikim … But you who cling to Hashem your G-d … You are all alive today.” (Dvarim 4:4)

When we look out at the world today and see the ferocious mouths on every side baring their fangs to eat us up, as the world of our “friends” comes crashing down on every side and we realize more and more that there is only One Place to turn, these ageless words of our Father Yaakov pierce through the ages and enter our hearts: “Ha malach ha goail!” The angel Hashem sends to save us will carry us onward against all odds. May he soon bring us to the Day on the which the Great Light will once again illuminate the world, visible to all. “Praise Hashem, all nations! 

Praise Him all the States! For His kindness has overwhelmed us and the truth of Hashem is eternal!” (Tehillim 117)

Farewell, Beloved Father Yaakov, farewell until Techias Hamaisim, may we see it soon in our days! “Chazak, chazak, v’nis’chazaik!”

A Song, a Coma, and a Miracle: Shulem Lemmer Shares Emotional Story of a Wounded Israeli Soldier

JERUSALEM — For Shulem Lemmer, music is often released into the world without knowing where it will land — or whose life it might touch. On Monday, he shared a remarkable story showing just how far one song had traveled.

Lemmer said the moment began about a month ago with a chance conversation on a flight, where he struck up a chat with a fellow passenger and exchanged phone numbers. Days later, he received an unexpected and emotional call while riding in a taxi.

The caller, an English-speaking Israeli taxi driver, explained that he needed to connect Lemmer with someone immediately. He then passed the phone to a father whose son had been critically wounded while fighting in Gaza.

The father told Lemmer that while sitting alone in his car, overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty, one of Lemmer’s songs — “Hineni HeAni” (הנני העני), released in 2023 — began to play. As he sang along, the father said he felt an intense closeness to Hashem and a sense of calm he had not felt since his son was injured.

The next day, the father brought the song to his son’s hospital bedside. According to the father, as the music played, his son — who had been in a coma — began to stir and then woke up.

Fighting back tears during a FaceTime call, the father thanked Lemmer, telling him the moment had changed his life.

“It was so special to hear that story,” Lemmer said.

Deeply moved, Lemmer promised that the next time he traveled to Israel, he would visit the wounded Israeli soldier in person. During a recent trip, he fulfilled that promise, stopping at the hospital to sing the song at the young man’s bedside.

“ You never know what you do,” Lemmer reflected. “You sing a song somewhere, and it resonates with people all over. It’s such a special feeling.”

Lemmer said the experience left him reflecting on hashgacha pratis — divine providence — and reinforced his belief that music can carry people through their most fragile moments, even from thousands of miles away.

 In order to study Kabbalah, argues Rav Moshe Weinberger, one must approach it with humility, holding their hands out in the form of a cup, as though they are ready to receive. Rav Moshe Weinberger has served as mashpia at Yeshiva University since 2013, and is the founding rabbi of Congregation Aish Kodesh in Woodmere, NY. Today, he joins us to answer 18 questions on Jewish mysticism, including the smallness of man, prayer as dialogue, and his transformative introduction to the world of Kabbalah.

Rabbi Weissman: "Sanctions Against....."

Senior Mengeles Call for "Sanctions against vaccine refusers"

And the "Haredi" Trojan horse collaborating with them

Here we go again, as if Covid never happened:

Heres some key excerpts from the Jerusalem Post report:

Leumit Health Services CEO Haim Fernandes said that people who refuse vaccinations should face consequences. “Penalties need to be imposed on those who do not get vaccinated,” Fernandes said. “This can be addressed through child allowances or restricting benefits, so people understand that their choices carry economic implications.”

…Dr. Eran Rotman, deputy CEO and head of the Health Division at Maccabi Healthcare Services, said vaccination among medical staff should not be voluntary…"A parent who doesn't vaccinate their children is endangering not only their own children but also those around them."

…Prof. Doron Netzer of Clalit Health Services called for stronger regulations and referenced international models.

“In parts of Europe, unvaccinated children are not allowed to attend school. We need to implement similar rules,” he said. “We did this during the COVID-19 pandemic. This current situation is a failure of the Health Ministry.”

Check that. It’s as if Covid did happen, and their fascist, tyrannical assault on the population is the gold standard. They have fond memories of their Covid “rules” and wish to implement such measures permanently. It’s a failure not to do so.

The Arutz Sheva report added this quote from Netzer: "If we don't make it mandatory for the public to vaccinate, we won't reach the necessary vaccination rate.”

It reminds me of the quotas tickets traffic cops have to meet, where issuing more tickets and increasing profits is the actual goal, with public safety just the excuse.

It also reminds me of the quotas Nazi officers and collaborators needed to fill.

In case you were wondering, Meuhedet is on board as well; their head disagreed only on strategic grounds, not on principle:

The head of Meuhedet Health Services, however, warned against punitive measures, especially among sectors that require tailored outreach.

“Sanctions don’t work in Israel,” he said. “What is needed is accessibility and understanding. We’ve succeeded in raising vaccination rates in the haredi community through walk-in vaccinations and community outreach.”

In other words, we need more fake, sellout rabbis to spread religious propaganda on behalf of the fake, sellout healers.

Germans in black uniforms with guns and barking dogs aren’t always the most effective approach. Sometimes Yiddish-speaking Judenrat are more successful.

(I don’t care if anyone finds Holocaust comparisons offensive. The Jews who perished in the Holocaust would find them offensive for refusing to learn from what happened before the ovens were fired up.

One of the most important lessons people need to internalize is that it’s not enough to merely distrust these monsters when it comes to vaccines. We must assume that the entire “healthcare industry” operates with the same corruption, the same wickedness.

That doesn’t necessarily mean your personal doctor is a monster who is trying to kill you, but it does mean that the people who educated him, set the standards, and control his ability to work for a living are monsters, and he must satisfy them. At the end of the day, he has to “just follow orders”, even if it’s bad for you, or he will be out of work. They have their own agenda; it isn’t about keeping you in peak health and making you less dependent on them.

Let’s take a closer look at Haverim L'Refuah (Friends for Health), the organization behind the event at which the little Mengeles issued their call for war against vaccine refusers.

Partnering with Pharmaceutical Companies”: https://eng.haverim.org.il/contentpage?contentpageid=1073

Check out the list.

Then there’s this:

We are constantly working to deepen our collaborations with Israeli and international pharmaceutical companies in order to enable more patients to receive the medicine they need.

I bet. No doubt that’s a two-way street.

The founder and CEO is Baruch Liberman. The following is from his LinkedIn profile:

“Our mission is to provide free medicine to people in need, with a vision that no person need ever choose between food and medicine.”

Of course, that’s unless they refuse to take vaccines.

I tried calling Haverim L’Refuah multiple times to ask them how they can reconcile their mission with this call for economic warfare against the most vulnerable people who aren’t interested in turning their children into pin cushions according to the whims of Mengeles. Why should they need to choose between food and protecting their children from forced injections?

The media forgot to ask them. Can’t imagine why.

There’s another irony here. Haverim L’Refuah is based in Bnei Brak and is portrayed as a largely Haredi organization.

In other words, they presumably oppose sanctions (economic warfare) against Jews who refuse to be drafted into the IDF, but here they are promoting the same state warfare against those who refuse vaccines.

At the same time, the numerous people commenting on the articles who oppose sanctions against vaccine refusers demand them for “haredi” yeshiva students.

The Erev Rav thugs couldn’t get away with this without your support — at least in the principle, against those “other” people you dislike.

Haverim L’Refuah strikes me as similar to Hatzolah, the OU, Agudah, and so many others — an organization that was founded by good people for a noble purpose, then hijacked and corrupted to serve the state and their agenda.

Here’s a fun snippet from their page on “Environmental Sustainability”

We Are Green

We take our commitment to sustainability seriously, and have integrated an efficient and eco-friendly process to our process:

Every package of medicine donated to our organization goes through rigorous testing. Valid medicine is computerized and then shelved in our pharmacy, for imminent distribution to a person in need. However 80% of the medicines received are not valid. Their paper inserts and cardboard packaging are recycled, and the out-of-date medicines are sent to environmentally-friendly disposal.

With thought to minimizing our environmental footprint, all medicines delivered via our Mobile Pharmacy and ‘Bikes4Meds’ motorbikes are delivered in reusable containers.

They recycle the paper inserts, and feel the need to tell you that. Amazing.

In case there’s still any doubt about the monsters behind the “healthcare industry”, calling for war against people who make it more difficult for them to meet their quotas, check out this short video:

This is a senior Leumit official during COVID admitting they are experimenting on their members: “We all took into account that this is an experiment — the long-term will be tested, you know, on people who have been vaccinated”.

Finally, here’s an article that was originally published on America’s Frontline Doctors, though it is is no longer available online (thanks to Mordechai Sones):

Israeli HMO (Kupat Holim) Clalit Deputy Director and Hospitals Division chief Dr. Orly Weinstein this week told Channel 12 News that because Israel vaccinated first, “it comes with a price, you benefit from the advantages and suffer from the disadvantages.” Asked by the interviewer to elaborate, Weinstein said they involved “the long-term follow-up,” admitting that “if long-term adverse effects are usually examined in the clinical trial, here the long-term will be tested, you know, on people who have been vaccinated. This is a disadvantage that we all took into account. Yes. There’s nothing new here.”

The Israeli Public Emergency Council for the Corona Crisis responded to the interview, saying “We were amazed to hear this Israeli health official stating ‘we all took into account that this was an experiment.’ Well, the Israeli public didn’t.” The Council went on to say: “Israelis never signed informed consents and were thrown under a wheel of false propaganda and coercion: They lied to the public from day one with ‘safe and effective’ (while they were and still are testing whether or not is... ), ‘FDA approved’ (when there was only an EUA) and so much more. “Now they suddenly find the chutzpah to say that we all knew….”

They were monsters back then, they were monsters way before then, and they are still monsters now. Right wing, left wing, religious, secular, makes no difference. Judenrat come in many costumes.

They are the same monsters behind the IDF and all state institutions. They are not trying to protect you from Hamas, Iran, or anyone else. They are not trying to protect you from pandemics. They are waging spiritual and physical war from you from within, collaborating with your external enemies, selling you out over and over again. They are Hamans and Amaleks with Hebrew names.

They are not the first flowering of the redemption. That are the final obstacle, and they are doing everything they can to prevent it.

While you’re distracted, or just hoping for some quiet, they are planning the next phase in their shmad.

They are Erev Rav, Jews in name only. They are your enemies. It’s time to internalize that and change course accordingly.

You can’t vote them away.

But if you stop falling for their lies, stop reading their “news”, stop taking their hate-bait, stop supporting them, stop davening for them, unite with those “other” Jews, and daven very hard for Hashem to free us of them and destroy them…then He will.
