    This article is from today’s matzav (dot) com 2025 April 24:
    =============================================

    “In a powerful reiteration of his support for Torah-oriented engagement
    with the World Zionist Organization (WZO), HaGaon Rav Avrohom Gurwicz,
    Rosh Yeshivas Gateshead, has released an updated endorsement,
    urging all shomrei Torah umitzvos to register and vote for
    the Eretz HaKodesh party in the current WZO elections.

    The new statement, dated today, 26 Nissan 5785, follows
    and builds upon a foundational letter issued by Rav Gurwicz earlier,
    in which he echoed the directive of Gedolei Yisroel — Rav Chaim Kanievsky ztl
    and Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky shlita — emphasizing the critical importance
    of Torah Jewry having a voice in decisions affecting Eretz Yisroel through the WZO.”

    There is a famous picture of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein’s first semichah class.

    In this picture, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein’s semichah students are wearing
    standard American-style clothing, not the white-shirts-and-everything-else-black,
    which is considered to be absolute requirement in today’s Chareidi Olam..

    Someone, anyone, please share a link to that picture, if you are able to.

    Rabbi Lazer Brody was born into a Secular Jewish family.

    He became a Baal Teshuvah during his time in the Israeli Army.

    He became a Breslov Chasid and a Rosh HaYeshivah and kiruv activist.

    His children are all Chareidi, and all of them served in, or serve in
    the Israeli Army, except for one of his sons, who became a Rosh HaYeshivah.

    2025 April 10: Almost every single Democrat in the
    House of Representatives voted AGAINST
    a bill to require proof of USA citizenship
    before registering to vote in federal elections.

    This new law was supported by 216 Republicans (100% of Republicans).

    This new law was opposed by 208 of 212 Democrats (98.11% of Democrats).

    It seems that the Democrats want to CHEAT in federal elections,
    by allowing 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS to vote in federal elections,
    including ILLEGAL ALIENS who have been convicted of violent crimes.

    Ex-President Barack Hussein Obama humiliated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
    at every possible opportunity.

    [1] In one incident, Obama suddenly walked out of a meeting with Netanyahu,
    leaving Netanyahu sitting by himself, with a list of demands from Obama.

    [2] In another incident, Obama humiliated Netanyahu by forcing him
    to leave The White House, through an exit which is only used
    by low-level servants, like janitors and delivery men.

    [3] In another incident, Obama humiliated Netanyahu by getting
    Hillary Clinton to SCREAM AT HIM for over an hour, on the phone.

    [4] In another incident, Obama humiliated Netanyahu
    by publicly stating that Netanyahu is a liar.

    Compared to all other politicians, who are 100% truthful and honest?
    Since when are politicians truthful and honest?

    Ex-President Barack Hussein Obama attended Columbia University as a FOREIGN STUDENT.

    Two days after he became USA President, his grandmother died.
    That grandmother was the ONLY living person who knew,
    with certainty, where Obama was born, and who
    might have testified that he was born in a foreign country.

    For 20 years, he and his family attended the church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright,
    who became infamous for repeatedly preaching: “G*D DAMN AMERICA!”

    After publicly claiming to be a Christian,
    he led Muslim prayer services at The White House.
    He did not merely participate in Muslim prayer services;
    he was the LEADER of Muslim prayer services.
    This was shown on television.

    He also publicly claimed to be “America’s first Jewish President”.

    I know this sounds crazy, but all of it is true.

    The Democratic Party placed many millions of ILLEGAL ALIENS
    in very-expensive luxury hotels, including violent criminals.

    At the same time, that same Democratic Party permitted
    America’s war veterans to sleep on the streets, as homeless people.

    Under the rule of ex-President Joe Biden, ex-Vice President Kamala Harris,
    and the Democratic Party, many thousands of law-compliant
    American citizens were EVICTED from homeless shelters,
    to make free space for ILLEGAL ALIENS, including violent criminals.

    “There are billions of Muslims. Some are extremists, others are not.”

    ===========================================

    MY RESPONSE:

    Islam’s most sacred writings — the Koran and the Hadith —
    teach genocidal hate against ALL JEWS.

    The Koran clearly states that Jews are the worst enemies of Muslims.
    Not just regular enemies of Muslims, but THE WORST enemies of Muslims!

    Just before Mohammed, the founder of Islam, died,
    his final words were:
    “O LORD! KILL THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS!”

    The Hadith teaches 7 times that The Final Day cannot come,
    until 100% of Jews are killed by Muslims.
    Even those Jews who are non-Zionist,
    even those Jews who are anti-Zionist,
    100% of them must DIE, even Jewish children, even Jewish babies.

    In the past, there were many times when I provided
    the exact sources for all of of these quotes,
    but I do not have time to find them now.

    ===========================================

    CONCLUSION:

    There are moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam.

    The phrase “LOVE THY NEIGHBOR” never occurs in any Muslim holy book.

    Tanach teaches: “LOVE THY NEIGHBOR”.
    Islam teaches: “KILL THY NEIGHBOR”.

    If you really want to “Make The Seder Great Again”,
    then I suggest that every large Orthodox synagogue,
    or even every medium-sized Orthodox synagogue,
    should provide free public Pesach Sedarim,
    that any Jew can attend for free.

    Please do not make the mistake of assuming
    that “everyone” has a Pesach Seder to go to.

    Widows and widowers, gerim, baalei teshuvah, old people,
    poor people, travelers, yordim, students from out-of-town
    may have no place to go to for Pesach Sedarim.

    If you also offered the daytime Yom Tov seudot,
    then that would help even more people.

    Lakewoodblt said this on 2025 April 1 on YWN:

    In 1910 [CE], a Western traveler to Yemen wrote:

    “The Jew is the beast on whom one beats at any time, for no reason,
    to calm one’s nerves, to appease one’s anger”. Between Jews and Arab-Muslims,
    coexistence is fragile, and remains at the mercy of the slightest incident,
    especially when Jews forget what Muslim society calls “their sense of humility”.
    Codified violence keeps everyone in their place,
    at the risk of being accompanied by the spilling of blood.

    ****Based on a study of the archives of Islamic courts in Palestine,
    Israeli historian Amnon Cohen reconstructs the reality of the condition
    of Jewish dhimmis ***before the beginnings of Zionism,****
    based on legal and administrative sources spanning almost
    six hundred years, from the Prophet to Saladin in the 12th century.*****

    These documents attest to the fact that the so-called “Pact of Umar”,
    i.e. the codification of the dhimma, “had retained for
    many generations an indisputable character”.

    However, contrary to its official name, the “Pact of Umar” is not
    a treaty signed between two parties.**** It was not the subject
    of negotiation, but a constraint exerted on subjugated populations.****

    The dhimmi is inscribed first and foremost in space, through
    radical separation from the Muslim majority. For example,
    in public baths in Jerusalem, where all residents are allowed to go,
    Jews must continue to be distinguished from Muslims.
    In everyday life, the Jew must wear a yellow turban.
    Removing it or wearing any other color is interpreted
    as an attempt to pass oneself off as a Muslim.

    Jewish women must wear a yellow garment or piece of cloth
    to distinguish themselves from Muslim women.

    The nudity of public baths meant that another distinctive
    sign was required: any Jew entering the baths
    had to carry a bell to signal his arrival.

    While every bathhouse guest receives a towel, it’s customary
    to reserve for Jews the most tattered and worn-out towels.
    The public baths are just one example of the radical system
    of segregation embodied by a dhimmi that embraces all aspects of life…

    The Jews of pre-Zionist Palestine did not have
    cordial relationships with their Arab neighbors.

    They were taxed into poverty and treated as second-class citizens
    by those who looked down with contempt on them.

    You need look no further than Rambam’s Igeres Teiman in 1170 [CE]
    to see how our Muslim brothers threatened and abused the Jews,
    long before Herzl was twinkle in his mother’s eye.

    Rabbi Jonathan Sacks [ZTL ZYA] said this in his essay titled: “The New Antisemitism“:

    “In the past, Jews were hated because they were rich and because they were poor;
    because they were capitalists (Marx) and because they were communists (Hitler);
    because they kept to themselves and because they infiltrated everywhere;
    because they held tenaciously to a superstitious faith (Voltaire)
    and because they were rootless cosmopolitans who believed nothing (Stalin).

    Antisemitism is not an ideology, a coherent set of beliefs.
    It is, in fact, an endless stream of contradictions.”

    who accused Donald Trump of being Hitler:
    ===============================

    Donald Trump never censored Free Speech — but you did!

    Donald Trump never used the media to silence his political opponents — but you did!

    Donald Trump never threatened to take guns away from good citizens — but you did!

    Donald Trump never threatened to put good citizens who disagreed with him
    into “Re-education Camps” (Concentration Camps)– but you did!

    The new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
    discovered a man in the state of Louisiana with
    34 different names & 34 addresses & 34 Social Security numbers.

    He was collecting $1,168,646 per year in Social Security payments.

    Why was this never discovered by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

    Why was this never discovered by Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer?

    Why was this never discovered by AOC or Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib?

    Why was this never discovered by ANY member of the Democratic Party?

    It seems that the members of the Democratic Party do not care
    how much money they waste, because they laugh at the taxpayers!

    In the very early 2000s, I spoke to 50 shadchanim,
    by telephone, and I asked all of them:

    What are the biggest problems that harm shidduchim?”

    The top two answers were: “short boys” and “fat girls”.

    Short men cannot become taller, so I will not discuss them.

    But fat girls can become thinner, so we must do something about that.

    FAT GIRLS remain a constant problem, that cannot
    be solved by giving financial incentives to shadchanim,
    nor can this problem be solved by changing
    the ages at which singles start shidduchim.

    Instead of spending 1 or 2 years in Seminary,
    which is a huge waste of money and total waste of time,
    single girls should spend 1 or 2 years in a female-only gym,
    or long-distance running, to become thinner.

    The weight and size they lose will do more
    to help them get married than ANY Seminary.

    PS: On 2025 March 4th, I saw a teenage
    Chareidi girl who was 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide.

    In a few years, she will be attempting shidduchim.

    Why should any 15-year-old Frum girl be 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide?

    Why? Why?? WHY???

    Rabbi Yair Hoffman said this on http://www.VINNEWS.com on 2025 March 13:

    If American Bnei Torah were to vote, as Rav Chaim Kanievsky
    (zichron tzaddik v’kadosh livracha) paskened to do –
    the dangerous threat of Reform Judaism, Wokism in Eretz Yisroel,
    and all the other apikorsisha “isms” would be severely diminished.

    The largest slate of the delegates is a Reform Jewish organization
    that supports many projects that Orthodox Jews would deem
    antithetical and anathema to Torah Judaism.

    Arza supports the movement to take away the Kotel from Orthodox Jewish administration.

    It would be particularly sad if the great talmid chochom,
    Rav Shmuel Rabinovitch, the Rav of the Kosel and
    a mechaber sefer extraordinaire, were to be replaced with “Rabbi Jill.”

    Money matters in influencing reality.
    The WZO election deals out nearly 2 billion dollars every year.

    Those that urged frum Jews to vote in the election were
    Rav Chaim Kanievsky zatzal – the Sar haTorah, Rav Gershon Edelstein zt”l,
    Rav Dovid Feinstein zt”l and lbc”l Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky shlita.
    Numerous Poskim have said that there is no issue in voting.

    The Reform movement are well aware that all that is necessary
    for their agenda to be replaced is if the Torah community
    would wake up and vote.

    It is for this reason that the credit card that is used for
    the $5 fee to vote is limited to only 3 people per household.
    Chareidim have more children and this is their way of limiting the frum vote.

    To vote – go to eretzhakodesh.org, click on the vote button and follow the instructions there.

    “On Friday, November 29, 1947, the United Nations
    debated the issue of partitioning the British Mandate
    for Palestine into two countries, one Arab and on Jewish.

    Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz] prayed fervently for partition.

    He had no radio in his house, but that Friday he borrowed one
    and set it to the news, leaving it on for Shabbos.

    He waited with such tense anticipation to hear the outcome
    of the U. N. [United Nations] vote that he did not come to shalosh seudos.

    When he heard the U. N.’s decision to establish a Jewish state,
    he stood up and recited the blessing HaTov VeHaMeitiv,
    Who is good and Who does good.

    Without losing sight of the anti-religious nature of
    the leaders of the yishuv in Eretz Yisrael,
    he nevertheless saw the creation of a Jewish state
    as an act of Providence and as a cause for rejoicing.

    At the very least, there would now be one country in the world
    whose gates would be open to the thousands of Holocaust survivors
    still languishing in Displaced Persons Camps in Germany and Austria.”

    “Many of the early Zionists were indeed rotten to the core
    and did not care that Jews were being murdered

    But, as Rabbi Yaakov Kaminetzky zt’l and others have said,
    the fact that the State of Israel provided a homeland to Jews
    after the awful Churban, when nobody wanted them,
    should mitigate our kana’us toward the State.

    You need to be completely blind not to see how
    in many significant ways the secular state of Israel
    has been beneficial for frum Jews over the years.

    And in any event, many of today’s Israels are not
    secular ideologues and atheists like the old Zionists.

    Everyone wants to be cool and curse them out,
    but at the same time use their services.
    The root of this attitude is not Ahavas Yisrael

    אמנם כעת הסבה ההשגחה, אשר באספת הממלכות הנאורות בסאן

    _____________________________________________________
    However, now Providence has arranged,
    that through the gathering of the great nations in San Remo,
    a mandate was made that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jews.

    And since the fear of the [Three] Oaths is gone,
    and with permission of the nations comes
    the mitzvah of resettling the Land of Israel,
    which is equal to all of the mitzvot in the Torah.

    Every Jew [literally, every man] is required to help,
    with all his ability, to comply with this mitzvah.

    The ONLY people who are required to listen to the Satmar Rebbe are Satmar Chassidim.

    Satmar Chassidim do not listen to Modern Orthodox Rabbis or Young Israel Rabbis
    or Religious Zionist Rabbis or Chabad Rabbis or Sephardic Rabbis or Tzahal Rabbis,
    even when those Rabbis are expert in all of Shas and all of Shulchan Aruch.

    If I remember correctly, our great and holy and perfect Tanach has 24 books.

    The 6th book of Tanach, which starts after the death of Moshe Rabbeinu,
    is mostly about the Jewish conquest of Eretz Yisrael. This is Sefer Yehoshua.

    In other words, an entire book of Tanach is dedicated to
    the Jewish conquest of Eretz Yisrael. WOW!!

    There is no book of Tanach that is entirely dedicated to Kashruth
    There is no book of Tanach that is entirely dedicated to Shabbos.
