    Jackk there were Jews who were very instrumental in bringing in bolshevism and shutting down yeshivas across Europe. There were Jews who were willing informants for the church. There are self-hating Jews in high power positions in every generation who do have control.

    Avirah a Jew who never puts on tefilin in his life is a karkafta. While he might not have the right daas or do the mitzvah properly it’s better than no tefilin ever. How many people do the the Lakewood establishment yeshivas reach from the outside and make them religious?

    Some of the “issues” that Democrats make up shouldn’t be mainstream issues. Democrats support every abomination. They push being trans as mainstream. They think it’s a good idea to have draq Queens at schools. The Democrat way of everything is make more legislation thus creating new problems.

    Huju I don’t support that because that reduces incentives for businesses to invest in capital. Europe is about to be out of energy due to their stagnating socialist policy.

    No it hasn’t happened this slowly in the past. The races were confirmed on election night for the most part. The FBI is run by deep state Democrat operatives of course they won’t look into it.

    How are we still having so many races undecided? It’s not logical to believe that they’re counting ballots that are being misdated. If the elections aren’t being outright stolen by Democrats, there’s room for distrust in the system. It should be a law for the sake of real democracy and trust in our system that ballots not coming in by mail on election day shouldn’t be counted.

    No I don’t think the narrative that everyone in the shtetl was learning in kollel is living in reality. We’re supposed to learn from the flaws of previous generations, so as not to repeat their mistakes.

    The Goyim also swore to be peaceful to us. We’re allowed to defend ourselves. And no shtetls aren’t a mandated golus. It’s an old system where the Royals and nobles own the property and say where Jews are allowed to live. And had more people moved to EY earlier more would have survived the Churban Europe.

    Usually, abuse is learned behavior from someone a person trusts e.g. family member, rebbi but they know it’s wrong and such a thing is unhealthy to the development of a person. Anxiety develops as a result and can affect many different aspects of a person’s life.

    Maybe the money was made illegitimately in other ways. Noticr they don’t say which daas Torah advised him. Many yeshivas and other Frum Jewish causes took donations from mechalelei shabbos.

    UJM there are people who were born litvish who decide to start to wear bekishes today. Meaning their parents are but now they connect with chasidus. Take a walk in Israel 3 LA and you’ll see people with American out of town accents like that.

    And only the litvish roshei yeshivas wear kapotas today. Though most lubavitch chasidim do.
