    GOOD NEWS TO THE TORAH TZIBUR: B’H qwerty613 has been blocked from YWN for being mevazeh Gedolei Yisroel and mosdos HaTorah, and spreading his evil words of tumah on the forum of a frum website. Thank you, YWN, for choosing to stand up for kovod haTorah and kovod Shamyim. (For those that are part of Adas Korach, you can verify this by checking qwerty613’s profile and seeing “Forum Role: Blocked”. May his name be erased forever.

    querty613 also claims that he “only” bashes Chabad and not Gedolei Yisroel, Rabbonim, and marbitzei Torah. Well, let’s look at his comments. A recent comment on YWn demonstrates otherwise. On the thread: “Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t” comment #2560043 qwerty613 wrote disparagingly against a great marbitz Torah and rov, Rabbi Avigdor Miller z”L. He called him “blind”! He said that it is hard for Rabbi Miller to admit when he is wrong! That he refused to accept the evidence! What a chutzpah! Here are his own words: “Why are they so blind? It’s hard for people to admit that they were wrong. And this includes great people like Rabbi Miller and Rabbi Sacks. They had all the evidence, but they refused to accept it.”

    qwerty613 claims that he only bashes Chabad and not gedolim. He claims that he loves chareidim. He claims that he is a “yerei Shamayim”. I will show you some of his postings on YWN that prove otherwise, from his own words! On the recent thread of “Matzav Inbox: Everyone Is Measuring Skirts While Marriages Burn” Comment #2565223 qwerty613 wrote to defend Modern Orthodoxy, a movement that is against “yiras shamayim:”, while bashing the “chareidi world”, mocking them, claiming that they find “heterim” to slander, and are controlled by their yetzer hara. These are HIS words: “You’re right about defending Modern Orthodoxy but much of the Chareidi world thinks that there’s a Heter to slander MO’s. This is classic Yetzer hora.”

    As another recent example of qwerty613 disparaging accepted gedolim on YWN, here are his words about the marbitz Torah and great rov, R’ Avigdor Miller z”l, in the thread “Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t” #2560043 qwerty613: “Why are they so blind? It’s hard for people to admit that they were wrong. And this includes great people like Rabbi Miller and Rabbi Sacks. They had all the evidence, but they refused to accept it.” This nut job Sheldon Stern puts Rabbi Avigdor Miller z”l with Rabbi Johnathan Sacks O”bm and says that “they are blind”, that it is “hard for [them] to admit that they were wrong”, “they refused to accept it”. WHAT A CHUTZPAH! (But this is all MILD compared to the obscenities about other gedolei hador!!!)

    qwerty613 claimed to DaMoshe and Chief Smerel: “Of couse I don’t work on shabbos.”, Okay, let’s check Google. Search “sheldon stern dds manhattan,” and you will see that his hours on shabbos are 9:00 am – 6:30 pm. Is Google wrong? Maybe. But how many frum businesses does Google say are open on shabbos?! I don’t know any, do you??? And as far as his kitchen with a single counter, sink and oven for milchig and fleishig, I mean, that both are used for them at the same time. The sink has milchig and fleishig dishes and the food residues altogether. On the stovetop, he fries milchig, which sprays hot oil onto the fleishig pots. No ben Torah would eat in such a kitchen. This might be from am–haaratzus, but the obscenities against gedolim makes him a rosha that deserves to be in cherem.

    Does it matter who published the seforim data base?! Don’t you know that the first Shas was published by a gentile. a Christian printer Daniel Bomberg in Venice between 1520 and 1523 ?! So if you think there is some “chisoron” that zioniost put together a Torah database, you better get rid of your Shas?!!

    chiefshmerel, I am not privy to the details of the lawsuit, if it has already been filed or if a Statement of Claim has been served. The information I have is from multiple comments on VIN, the lead attorney Ms Rachel (I don’t know her secular first name) Herman ESQ, and more reliably, the owner of VIN explaining the reason he banned Sheldon Stern to avoid being dragged into the litigation and liability of offering a platform for publishing the defamatory comments. Sheldon Sterndoes not deny publishing obscene comments against many gedolim and the Olom HaTorah, in fact, he is proud of it. Such comments have no place on a frum website. They go way beyond loshon hara, it is allowing a bezoyon haTorah.

    DaMoshe, when you protect qwerty613, you encourage Sheldon Stern to continue being mevazeh gedolei yisroel. Is that what you think should be done? Sheldon Stern should be banned from YWN, as he was banned from VIN for continuously making his obscene comments against Gedolei Ha’Dor. In proper times, he would have been placed in cherem, and his status of cherem would have been proclaimed publicly. That is the proper approach. You need to reset your moral compass.

    DaMoshe, you have it all wrong! How does YWN allow qwerty613 to post comments that denigrate gedolim and mosdos haTorah? I am exposing him as someone who does not belong to have a voice on a yeshiva platform! You think that someone should be allowed to write on YWN the obsenities he writes?! What is wrong with YOU?! Do you realize that he writes, among other things, against Chabad, the Lubavitch Rebbuh z”l (as someone who goes against halacha and a baal gaavah sel-proclaimed king), R’ Moshe Feinstein z”l (as having demtia and his psokim are unreliable), Adirei Torah and Dirshu (as ego-stroking ostinatious extravaganzas), Keren Olom HaTorah (as a scam to line pockets and discrimination by giving only for excluside yeshivos), Roshei Yeshivos Harabbonim Malkiel Kotler (as an ani-vaxxer rotzeach), Elya Brundy, Dov Launda and Moshe Hillel Hirsch of Slabodka, Dovid Cohen of Chevron (calling them scammers and fakers and worse etc). YOU THINK THIS IS OKAY?! I exposed this Sheldon Stern (actually, it was a group of high-tech Stamar chevra – kol hakavod to them!!) and everyone should know what he is all about!

    Sheldon Stern is a total am haaretz, misquotes Chazal, makes up stories (that this rabbi told him this and that rabbi told him that – fiction), consistently denigrates gedolim, and claims to be a “lamdan’ because he puts out a parsha sheet. He uses various names and pretends to be in a drama with BMG Guy to gain sympathy and attention (BMG Guy is another one of his many names). Sheldon Stern was banned from VIN for valid reasons.

    And you can visit his dental office at 65 Columbia St. It is a filthy place (see the pictures on Yelp!). Google says his office is open on shabbos (9:30 am – 6 pm – I guess he “davens” netz on shabbos, so he can get to work in time!). When confronted with this fact, Sheldon Stern tried to justify that “maybe” he has other workers/associates, but that is false (as most things he writes); he is a sole practitioner, with no other workers running his office; in fact, he usually answers the phone himself.

    Always_Ask_Questions – qwerty613 lives at 200 East End Ave Apt 2e. At our Manhattan shul, everyone knows him to be a meshugana (plus a complete am ha’aretz – he wouldn’t know even how to open a gemarah or shulchan oruch, his highest level of learning is reading the English Me’am Lo’ez). I saw the kitchen in his condo, and no ben Torah would eat from it (one sink, counter and oven used for both milk and meat). Even his wife (of Safardi-Persian background) openly says that he is meshuga and begs him to stop denigrating gedolim and mosdos haTorah because of the many bad things happening in their life and family. His son davens in an Open Orthodox shul with a “rabbi” who speaks against halacha. These are facts!

    Then he told me something weirder: In Tshuvas Ma’ri Halevi (brother of Turei Zohov) s. 37 says that tow P.C.’s are enough only if the two P.C.’s are very choshov [like R’ kavevsky and R’ Shtienman], but if the P.C. are regular people – TEN are required!!

    To me, that is kind of “interesting”.

    I just thought of a REALLY stupid question: The words “ponim chadoshos” (new faces)is PLURAL, so why aren’t TWO p.c.’s required?????

    My shul hat is like a gartel – LOLOLOL!!! Here’s the problem – if I can’t wear it to the bathroom, what do I do when I go to the washroom, since that is the hair covering (instead of a sheitel or head shmatte)???? Do I wear the hat or uncover my hair???

    I heard my LOR tell a bochur to say the segulah fpr finding lost object and he will find his shidduch (“Omar Rabi Binyomin hakol sumin etc.”) because chazal tells us that the man seeks his “lost object” – his missing rib. I thought it was hysterical till a few weeks later this bochur was engaged!

    Thank you RR (interesting that you too are a “rose”) and Jay! There is so much collective wisdom in our “am chochom” members!

    Curiosity, I noticed you called me arrogant, you also called the OP a troll. Name calling is a form of bullying. It is infantile and symptomatic of underlying issues. Leading me to suspect that the real issue is with the one wearing the yarmulka.

    I suppose if you wanted to, you could wear an orange suit and white shoes but don’t be surprised if others thought that you are “interesting”.

    Ah langeh Shemone esrei is when the bocher gets married in his twenties. Someone joked that is the reason in Yeshiva they make a hoyche kedusha for mincha, to teach bochurim to keep the Shemone esrei short

    Eliyahu Hanavi is going to appear riding on a donkey? I thought it be moshiach (rashi in chumish “HaChamor” – same one as Avrohom’s, Moshe’s and Moshiach.
