    Joseph,

    Not surprising at all. It’s quite hilarious that the Rosh Kollel of Mir took out an apology ad on “behalf of Flatbush” to the chasid who learns in his yeshiva. Totally meaningless, an early Purim joke. I wonder who actually paid for it?

    You do realize that if the parents and administration of the school where you teach would read how much you love them, you’d be out on the street.

    Joseph’s definition requires three items; beard, payos and a long black coat. That’s why he insists that his Lev Tahor buddies are all “tzadikim”.

    Even if Joseph is right and that’s almost always not the case, you aren’t obligated to give more than a quarter.

    Yes, but what do you really, deep down believe about the Shabbos observance of their parents?

    Do you frequently quote that loving statement of your Rebbe, that MO are anusim, in class? You certainly wouldn’t want your poor students thinking that their parents are chayav misa, would you?

    You really don’t belong in a classroom; Amazon’s hiring.

    Avaira,

    You’re not be honest with yourself regarding how much time you spend “here and there” bashing other Jews. Many of your posts are highly critical, negative and downright hateful, not loving. If we knew your real identity there’d be plenty to criticize. Since it’s so easy for you to constantly target specific groups based on what you learned from your Rabbeim, you should have no problem with any of them being criticized on this forum. Then others can decide if they want to unquestioningly swallow the vile hatred that you were fed as Torah MiSinai. You’ve already posted who they are; is that what you want?

    You talk a good game about loving Jews despite their flaws yet in actuality you get on this site and constantly bash specific groups of people and while having only praise for others. Why do only single out some for their faults as if others don’t have their own? What motivates you to do so at all, is it cathartic for you?

    I really find it hard to believe that you can love those whom you constantly rail against in such a dismissive manner. Perhaps you pity them for not being on your exalted level but you don’t actually love them. I’m not the one crowing about tzidkus and frumkeit, you are.

    Joseph,

    The chasid lucked-out this time that there was a camera. Since that’s not always the case, the chasid has hopefully learned that it’s perfectly acceptable to carry an object while walking between women. Most importantly, the chasid has been schooled never to touch children that aren’t his own. The chasid has black marks on his police record and reputation to remind him of this vital lesson.

    Your “brain exercise” must be so exhausting, having to pretend that the MO stragglers who contribute zero to the world deserve any measure of respect when you interact with them. Your negative opinions of so many Jews are a true credit to your Rabbeim. It’s an honor for this forum to provide an outlet for your deep frustrations so that you don’t suffer a mental break.

    I have a feeling that one of these days your mask will slip and people will see how you really feel about them. What happens next will be entirely of your own making and you’ll have only yourself and your Rabbeim to thank for it.

    Avaira,

    When your students are from MO homes do you impart the holy words of your Rabbeim, of course in private and in the kindest way so as not to embarrass them too much? Do you tell them that their parents are worthless stragglers who only care about secular studies and contribute nothing to the world aside from their wasted contributions to non-Jewish causes? If not, why not? How can you deny them this vital guidance that you share so generously with us?

    And why are you so afraid to use your real name and those of your Rabbeim when sharing their holy words with us? Is it over money, since you’re afraid of losing your job?

    The Novominsker Rebbe, zt”l served on the Moetzes as well as the head of Agudas Yisrael for over twenty years. Everyone at the convention knew who he was and he’d ask bachurim to walk with him. He wasn’t some unknown guy touching children.

    besalel,

    Nope. A Tzadik would graciously educate others, grabbing the opportunity to teach proper hanhaga while following it. Instead of grabbing a child and giving onlookers something to judge him negatively for.

    Joseph,

    It’s obvious from the responses that your bizarre attempts to justify touching a child, especially lying about him being a teenager, has only turned this “tzadik” into a complete “chasid shoteh” at best. If he actually gave you explicit permission to defend him on the web, it only shows how woefully sheltered and uninformed he is. He’s already got two charges on his police record and shouldn’t also have to fight the damage you’re adding to his reputation with every post.

    Joseph,

    Sane people have learned the following lessons from this sad story:

    1) A child is not a “cheftza shel mitzva” and touching someone else’s child without permission is obviously a very dangerous idea.

    2) While a man should not walk between two women, doing so while holding an object such as a wallet or phone resolves this issue. It sure beats a long stint in jail.

    I know what the SNAP guidelines are, they’re available online. Unfortunately, in our communities $80K is no longer a high income and it’s pure fantasy for anyone to claim that most chassidim are wildly successful businessman. If that were true they wouldn’t be dependent on welfare or have to collect tzedaka and there’d be no attempts to defraud the government.

    Quay,

    For the same reason so many Jews are “biased” against the animal rights movement. From its outset, many in the environmentalist leadership have pursued the “rights of mother earth” (a Greek Goddess) with a dogma crosses the line into religious extremism. It’s one thing to feel a sense of responsibility towards Hashem’s creations but another to believe they have rights superseding those of humanity.

    A Satmar business expo doesn’t mean that most chassidim are wildly successful in business any more than an MO expo does. If that were the case, why are so many chassidim on welfare? Why did Satmar admit to defrauding the government and have to repay eight million dollars several months ago? Why are the vast majority of those soliciting tzedaka in shul chassidim?

    Joseph,

    You have frequently quoted the Satmar Rebbe, zt”l and his opposition to Israel. He was against Jews making aliyah in numbers, i.e., the more than three million who have already done so. So do you really believe that every Jew have a G-d given natural right to live in Eretz Yisroel without anyone else’s permission?

    You also insist that the Israeli government is illegitimate and that Dina D’Malchusah does not apply. If that’s the case, surely the Gadol Hador, Harav Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l must have paskened that Jews flaunt Israeli law and not pay taxes, right?

    You haven’t mentioned your three wives and eighteen children in quite some time. I hope that means you’re doing better “psychically” and that the medication is helping. Better go answer your mother.

    My point exactly. One really knows nothing about the lives and intentions of others, beyond what they can see with limited and often skewed vision. A person must judge and find fault within, not make it a practice to do so with others.

    Avira,

    The halachos of tzedaka mandate how much a person must donate. A wealthy person isn’t required to give away everything they have and eat tuna fish every night. It’s very troubling that your posts always focus outward in a negative manner towards other Jews. One has to wonder whether you do so to avoid your own faults. Decry your own gashmius and taavos and work on them. Otherwise you’ll be unpleasantly surprised after 120 that you didn’t get any points for using Koheles as weapon to criticize others.

    Yeah, that’s for the Chafetz Chaim to say. Worry about your own taavos and olam haba instead of other people’s. You might be quite shocked after 120 to find yourself on a very low floor while all those you wasted a lifetime criticizing are much higher up.

    SQUARE,

    If the wealthy, many of whom give vast amounts of money to tzedaka, didn’t go on cruises, vacations or to Pesach hotels, those who couldn’t afford to do so would also be deprived. Deprived of their favorite activity. Griping that rich people aren’t generous, are insensitive and never properly celebrate yom tov.

    Joseph,

    Hello, there are plenty of Litvish boys but too many of them are totally incompatible with the girls since they have zero accomplishments in learning, education, work, life choices, etc. If your “common sense” was spot on, these shidduchim would be happening in droves and there would be no need for this post. Girls aren’t desperate enough to abandon their legitimate need for compatibility to marry chassidish any more than they are to marry some total loser.

    Joseph,

    To marry just for the sake of getting married without worrying about small details such as compatibility, Litvish girls can settle for Litvish boys they have little to nothing in common with. They needn’t bother attempting the same with Chassidish boys. Most girls, no matter how desperate, are looking for more than that in a life partner.

    Joseph,

    This may come as a shock but Litvish and Chassidish families don’t just have differing customs, their entire upbringing, mindset and outlook is very different from birth. For example, expecting Litvish girls to adapt themselves to Chassidish restrictions makes such matches unlikely to work. Your numerous posts indicate that you have no problem with girls suddenly being told they can no longer drive, earn a college degree or work in a chosen profession. However, they and their parents would take strong exception to such mandates.

    Not to say it never happens, just as marriages occur between Ashkenazim and Sefardim as do those between people from very different communities. But as a wholesale solution, it’s as “pants and skirt” as your insistence that everyone ditch dating in favor of be-shows.
