“Why did the Torah [Scroll] have to come from an Orthodox Shul?”

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

MY RESPONSE:

Thank you for your question, It is a very important question.

You might not be aware of this, but in recent decades,
Reform and Conservative and other off-the-Derech movements
have been writing their own Torah Scrolls! Rachmanah Latzlan!!

One female fake-sofer, Miss Aviel Barclay, calls herself “Soferet”
and her web site is www dot Soferet dot com.

There are big problems with this.

[1] Halachah clearly states that a Torah Scroll written by a woman is PASUL (invalid).

[2] If I remember correctly, Aviel Barclay is a convert to Reform Judaism,
which makes her NOT Jewish, and a Torah Scroll written by a non-Jew is PASUL (invalid).

[3] She holds by non-Orthodox Rabbis, and only by non-Orthodox Rabbis,
which again makes her Torah scrolls100% PASUL (invalid).

She also teaches random people how to write Torah Scrolls, if they pay her.

Many years ago, I sent her an email which quoted classic Torah sources
which prove that a Torah Scroll written by a woman is PASUL (invalid).
She sent me an email back, and she already knew that the Halachah
was definitely against her, but that did not stop her, or even slow her down.

In the 1990s & early 2000s, there was another Reform female fake-sofer
who called herself “Chatam Soferet”. I do not know if she is still active or alive.

In my opinion, it would be very appropriate to pray that
all of the fake Torah Scrolls written by her,
and all of the fake Torah Scrolls written by all pasul people,
should all be completely burned.

PS: In Eretz Yisrael, fake Torah Scrolls have been written by ARABS!!
Rachmanah Latzlan!! Rachmanah Latzlan!! Rachmanah Latzlan!!

Is seminary worth it, if it causes the girl to delay marriage by 1 or 2 years?

Donald Trump was supported by EVERY RAV.
Kamala Harris was supported by the EREV RAV.

I am sorry to hear that you experienced hardships as a tutor.

I have experience tutoring secular subjects, and my students
attended around 50% of the time, which made it
very hard to make any money from tutoring.

I have not tutored in many years; I just gave up.

pekak:

Thank you for sharing those very valid facts!

After 120 years, G*D will judge you for Sinat Chinam
against Torah-observant members of the IDF.
You are not good enough to polish their shoes.

You will also be judged for your inexcusable lack of gratitude
(Hakarat HaTov) towards members of the IDF,
who make gigantic sacrifices protect Jewish land and Jewish lives.

Last but not least, the people who taught you to hate
will be punished for teaching Sinat Chinam and ingratitude.

One of the Frummest Rabbis who I ever knew,
a man who knows all of Shas and Shulchan Aruch,
who holds by every possible chumrah,
who holds by only the Charedi Gedolim,
told me many times that seminary for girls
is waste of time, and he refused to send his girls to seminary.

When Donald Trump was elected President in 2016 CE,
many Leftists and Liberals publicly stated that
Donald Trump would certainly start new wars.

TOTAL NUMBER OF WARS STARTED BY DONALD TRUMP: ZERO [0].

TOTAL NUMBER OF LIBERALS AND LEFTISTS WHO ADMITTED THAT THEY WERE WRONG: ZERO [0].

Baruch Green of VIN News said:

Here’s why it is clear and irrefutable that Donald Trump deserves to be re-elected, and the country badly needs his leadership.

(1) Heading in the Wrong Direction

The nation is on a troubling path. Open borders have led to an influx of unvetted illegal migrants, attracting drug cartels, gangs, human trafficking networks, and terrorists, who invade and exploit vulnerable suburban neighborhoods. Innocent lives have been taken due to this flagrant violation of our country’s constitutional laws.

Meanwhile, soaring inflation and interest rates have made life increasingly difficult for middle- and low-income Americans who struggle with exorbitant costs

Additionally, concerns over political freedom have emerged, with Biden and Harris weaponizing the justice system to target political opponents through “lawfare,” rather than protecting the American people’s freedoms.

The left is on a mission to censor the opposition, suppress the facts, and control the flow of (mis)information. This poses an existential threat to democracy which must be defeated, or the future of our republic is in peril.

(2) Dangerous Radical-Left Ideologies

Progressive policies have redefined essential aspects of American life, from “woke” gender ideologies and immorality infiltrating schools and institutions to controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies affecting our everyday lives. The left has promoted late-term abortions, even during the ninth month, when a child is viable.

Biological males can access women’s locker rooms and sports, eroding women’s rights and protections. Meanwhile, taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prisons, promoted by Kamala Harris, reveal how her radical agenda has shifted society away from core American values, and toward dangerous social experimentation.

(3) Attacks on Our Closest Ally, Israel

The recent, brutal assault on Israel by Hamas and other Iranian Proxies underscored the critical importance of maintaining strong relationships with allies. Biden’s lifting of sanctions on Iran has fueled regional instability, enabling adversaries to target Israel, our strongest Middle Eastern ally.

Kamala Harris has been sympathetic and supportive of pro-Hamas elements which have hijacked the Democrat party.

Trump’s first administration, by contrast, made historic strides in fostering peace in the region by strengthening Israel. These include the embassy move, recognition of sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and Abraham Accords, which expanded diplomatic ties and enhanced Israel’s security.

(4) Strengthening Economy Through Capitalism

Trump’s commitment to free-market capitalism starkly contrasts with the current administration’s tilt–or total shift–toward socialism. His tax cuts and deregulatory policies served as a catalyst for business growth and prosperity, creating jobs and exciting opportunities for all Americans.

The current administration’s policies of wealth redistribution, heavy regulation, and crushing climate policies reflect a socialist direction, which stifles innovation, job creation, and personal responsibility. Trump’s policies created explosive economic growth that benefited American workers, helped the ‘little guy’ and allowed families to thrive.

(5) School Choice and Support for Communities of Faith

Trump has been a vocal advocate for school choice, which provides much-needed support to parents who want quality education options. This approach especially resonates with the Orthodox Jewish community, who face astronomical private school tuition costs. Trump’s policies would ease this financial burden and give parents more control over their children’s education, in line with their faith and values.

‘America First’ Foreign Policy and National Security: For the first time in decades, there were no wars during Trump’s presidency. His foreign policy focused on reducing U.S. involvement in costly foreign entanglements while prioritizing American interests and security. His firm stance on military strength and global engagement left the U.S. safer and respected on the world stage, in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s policies of weakness and cowardice that have led to escalating international crises and heavily diminished national security.

(6) Return to Law and Order

For decades Trump has championed justice and law enforcement, recognizing the need to keep our communities safe and secure. His commitment to law and order offers a counterpoint to current policies, which have encouraged violent crime, theft and shoplifting to surge. Under Trump, Americans knew they could depend on a leader who would prioritize the safety of their children, families and neighborhoods, while protecting and supporting the police who risk their lives daily to protect our citizens.

(7) Two Divergent Visions for America

This election represents a choice between two distinct paths: one vision that promotes a prosperous, secure, and proud America, and another that leans toward economic hardship, international instability, and ideological experimentation. Trump’s re-election would mean a return to policies that champion freedom, economic opportunity, and American pride.

It’s time to make America great, prosperous, safe, and proud again.

In Conclusion…

President Trump is the candidate with the unwavering values, moral clarity, strength, integrity, courage, resolve, and principles to lead our nation out of the many struggles we face. He is a proven winner.

Most importantly, as during his first term, Trump demonstrated leadership abilities and success, despite immeasurable obstacles and enmity from the Democrats, media, and even some Republicans.

The choice is clear.

Yeshiva World News should report statements made by
the Rosh HaYeshivahs of the Hesder Yeshivahs.

The Hesder Yeshivahs spend half their time studying Torah

protecting the holy Jewish Land, and fighting against Amalek.

Reuven Rosenfeld of VIN News said:

WASHINGTON D.C (VINnews)-President Donald Trump has publicly
criticized President Joe Biden for advising Israel not to launch an attack
on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Trump called Biden’s stance the “wrong answer,”
signaling disapproval of the current administration’s
approach to the growing threat posed by Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made it clear that, under his leadership,
the U.S. would fully support Israel in neutralizing Tehran’s nuclear threat.

He emphasized that a strong and unyielding stance against Iran
is necessary for both regional stability and global security.
Trump’s remarks reflect his previous administration’s
hardline policies against Iran, including withdrawing
from the nuclear deal and imposing sanctions.

The former president [Donald Trump] also suggested that
[President Joe] Biden’s cautionary stance could embolden
Iran to continue its nuclear development unchallenged.

Trump underscored his commitment to Israel’s security,
stating that the U.S. should back any action Israel deems
necessary to defend itself from existential threats
posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

News Reporter Josh Christenson of The New York Post said:

“Vice President Kamala Harris’ tax proposal would cost the US nearly 800,000 jobs,
roughly twice as many as former President Donald Trump’s plan,
according to a recent analysis.”

“The nonpartisan Tax Foundation think tank estimated that Harris’ proposals
would shrink the American long-run GDP by 2% and
reduce wages by 1.2%, while lowering employment by roughly 786,000 jobs.”
….
“At least 177,000 jobs would be lost under a Harris administration just by
raising the net investment income tax rate from 3.8% to 5%
and shifting the Medicare tax rate up to the same percentage.”

“Another 131,000 jobs would vanish under the expansion of the earned income tax credit,”

Numerous Torah sources indicate that serious Kabalah study
is *** ONLY *** correct for a small minority of Jews who
excel in Torah scholarship and righteousness, as defined by Torah.

Please do not feel offended by what I am about to say, but Kabalah study
is NOT for women, and NOT for young people, and not for Gentiles.

This is contrary to wicked fools who teach Kabalah to everybody.

If you are not an Orthodox Rabbi and over age 40, then Kabalah study
is probably not for you. Sorry about that!

The Shabbetai Tzvi disaster was largely caused by the Kabalah study
of many unqualified people. Why should we repeat that tragic history?

Last but not least, the Midrash clearly teaches that:
“The Jews will not be redeemed until they unite as one …”
(Midrash Tanchuma, Parshas Nitzavim, end of chapter 1).

Professor Thane Rosenbaum wrote this
for The Los Angeles Jewish Journal:

…after 46 years as a die-hard Democrat, I have alerted the NYS
Board of Elections that I am now, officially, an Independent.

The past eight years have been one slow death march of
the Democratic Party’s abandonment of its Jewish voting bloc.
It coincided with a descent into an illiberal, ahistorical and
morally misguided adherence to identity politics,
intersectionality, CRT, DEI, anti-colonialism,
and the social upheavals wrought by “political correctness.”

It has led to a wide assortment of pathologies, ranging from
restrictions on free speech and open inquiry to the debasement
of our immigration laws, the bedlam on our streets and college campuses,
the desertion of foreign allies, the brainwashing of our youth,
the wrecking of our economy, the upending of gender and sexual categories,
and an appalling anti-Americanism that I surely have not seen in my lifetime.

…The [Democratic] Party has fast become a home for left-wing zealots
for whom nothing matters more than pronoun usage, open borders,
and emptying our prisons of over-represented minorities.

For me, the breaking point came with Joe Biden’s shameful
CNN interview where he made clear that the United States
would not support Israel’s incursion into Rafah to route
the remaining Hamas terrorists responsible for 10/7.

Let me get this straight: The United States devoted a decade to
hunting down and assassinating Osama bin Laden,
killing 250,000 Afghani and Iraqi civilians along the way.
No condemning U.N. resolutions. No protests. No International
Court of Justice proceedings. All throughout America’s War on Terror,
Israel provided necessary intelligence and regional backup,
and erected a 9/11 memorial —t he only one outside
the United States listing the names of all victims.

Yet, the Biden administration is withholding from Israel the necessary
weaponry (already earmarked by Congress) with which to conduct
its wholly justified military operations? Israel does not require Biden’s blessing.
And the precision of the Rafah campaign will now be less precise.

Curiously, the president repeatedly acknowledged that 10/7 was
an unprovoked attack for which Israel has a moral and legal right of self-defense,
and that Hamas presents an existential threat that must be eradicated.
Biden’s “ironclad” commitment to Israel has already gone limp.

Apparently, unlike the United States, Israel must be denied
its moral obligation to bring justice to its people and security to its borders.
It can defend against missiles, but not dismantle them at the source.

Biden’s actions have given comfort to Hamas and its patron, Iran.
Why should Hamas return hostages (some, Americans),
if Biden is singularly focused on constraining Israeli military offenses?

Moreover, Biden just gave a shout-out to those ignorant college students
and their Jew-hating, anti-American professors. Sorry, “Genocide Joe,”
asserting your mojo and cultivating a youthful
antisemitic constituency won’t help you come November.

For reasons only rabid progressives can explain, Palestinians,
who are more like Hamas accomplices than true civilians,
are more precious than the world’s other civilians.

Is it because Jews aren’t permitted to win wars,
especially against brown-skinned people?

The Jewish state must always agree to ceasefires,
perform humanitarian acts while fighting in self-defense, and sue for peace.

This betrayal has little to do with moral equivocation
and everything to do with local politics. Biden will, apparently,
do or say anything to woo the 600,000 Muslim voters of Michigan,
and stay within the good graces of that
dreadful Detroit Motown act, Bernie Sanders and the Squad.

Is it worth it, this backstabbing of Jewish-Americans, an important
minority reliably loyal to the Democratic Party? Always true blue,
as if the Party had nominated Moses as its standard bearer
and Anne Frank as his running mate. The progressive perfidy
is even more heartbreaking. Jews stood at the forefront of
nearly every movement of social activism in the United States,
from labor unions to civil liberties, feminism, civil rights, and gay rights.

Apparently, the reward for all those years of solidarity
has been exclusion and antisemitism.

In the end, Joe Biden picked the Muslims of Michigan over
moral clarity, a coherent foreign policy, and love of country.

Not that my political affiliation is any of your business,
but I thought I might share with you that after 46 years

Honestly, I couldn’t take it anymore.
My options, as a voter, are now more open than ever.

Party leaders have taken for granted that Jewish Republicans
are an anathema, and people like me, who identify with 19th-century liberalism,
have nowhere else to go. Believing that there is no risk of flight,
they have consigned Jewish -Americans to a political party
allied with those who would wipe Israel from the map
(if these domestic haters could only find it on a map).

Those presumptions may turn out to be false.
Jewish affiliation with Republican politics has already grown,
and stands at 29%—even before some of the recent events
that have alienated Jewish Democrats.
And while there’s no actual party for Americans who eschew
the two-party system altogether, I do not believe
I will be alone this election as an unaffiliated voter.

To remain with the Democratic ticket would make me feel like a real donkey.
I can live without an animal mascot representing independent voters
(I suggest one that naturally stands apart from the herd).
And I have reconciled myself to knowing that in 2022,
New York banned any political party wishing to refer to itself as Independent.

…The [Democratic] Party has fast become a home for left-wing zealots
for whom nothing matters more than pronoun usage, open borders,
and emptying our prisons of overrepresented minorities.

The Democrats finally became the party that progressives and socialists
wanted in electing Barack Obama. It was unfeasible for him,
at the time, to implement the political transformation
he had hoped his administration would bring. (Yes, I voted for him twice,
even as I feared the generational damage it might inflict.)

Ironically, it was his politically more moderate vice president, Joe Biden,
who would eventually accede to the Oval Office and take America
in a direction that would make Bill Ayers,
Pastor Jeremiah Wright and Reverend Louis Farrakhan proud.

I am under no illusion that my departure from the Party will matter to anyone.
After all, jettisoning Jewish white males is one of the objectives
of its racial identity and rigid orthodoxy.
Should moderates ever reclaim control from the Marxists and Islamists, give me a call.

Is there anything else he needs to know?

In the end, Joe Biden picked the Muslims of Michigan over moral clarity,
a coherent foreign policy, and love of country. Yes, he’s increasingly addled.
But he well knows that Jewish-Americans, or Jewish-Israelis,
are highly unlikely to ever burn an American flag and shout, “Death to America!”

Today THE WASHINGTON POST shocked Americans by NOT
endorsing ANY presidential candidate. THE WASHINGTON POST
is one of America’s most Liberal/Leftist newspapers,
and was expected to endorse Kamala Harris for President.

This is a big embarrassment for Kamala Harris.

If I remember correctly, the same thing recently happened
with THE LOS ANGELES TIMES and The Teamster’s Union,
with similar results for Kamala Harris.

Kristine Parks of Fox News recently said this:

“Michael Rapaport [a Jewish actor and comedian], a staunch critic
of former President Trump, admitted he was previously
‘ill-informed’ about Trump’s record on Israel, the economy.”

Liberal actor and comedian Michael Rapaport announced that
he couldn’t vote for Vice President Harris in the November election
and that the Democratic Party’s treatment of Israel
had made him reconsider supporting former President Trump.

“I’m now a one-issue voter: my money and Israel,” he told
former ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele on the July 31
“The Sage Steele Podcast.” “I’m not voting for Kamala Harris.
I can’t do it,” he continued.
“I can’t support a party that is about all this bulls—.”

Rapaport has increasingly called out his own political party for its stance on Israel.
In May, he announced President Biden had also lost his support
in the upcoming election, and he was considering voting for Trump.

The actor went even further on Steele’s podcast.

“I was wrong,” he said about his past criticism of Trump.
“I was first in line talking s— about Trump.”

While Rapaport said he still finds Trump’s rhetoric and behavior
unpresidential, he admitted he was previously “ill-informed”
about Trump’s record on Israel, Iran and the economy.

Rapaport stopped short of saying he was going to vote for
the GOP candidate in the election but said the option was still on the table.”

At the end of the day, I want my interest rates down…
and Israel needs to be protected more than ever right now,”
he said about his two voting priorities.

Rapaport also called out progressives who protested
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
last month when he gave an address to Congress.

“While there’s eight American hostages in Gaza, they didn’t show up,
proudly. Bernie and the burnouts, the Squad, all these race-hustling con artists,”
he blasted. “They weaponize it to a point that it’s dangerous.”

“I don’t care what you think of [Netanyahu],” he continued.
“Israel is America’s biggest ally, while we’re under siege,
not just from Hamas…but also proxies from Iran.
This isn’t just about Israel.”

Rapaport also slammed Hollywood and the sports world
for not speaking out on October 7 and demanding the hostages
be brought home calling the silence “embarrassing.”

“We speak out about everything. It could be climate change,
it could be women’s rights, it could be abortion rights,
LGBTQ —we say stuff about everything,” he said.”

The silence has been madly deafening,” he continued.

Back in May, Rapaport said that a comedy show of his,
set to take place in Madison, Wisconsin, was canceled
due to threats of violence in the wake of his support for Israel.

“I was extremely p—ed off,” Rapaport stated at the time.
“I didn’t imagine, didn’t think that it would get to a point
where my beliefs and me standing up for what I know is right,
regarding Jews, regarding Israel, regarding being Jewish
and just the right thing, would get to a point where a club
would cancel my show because they are afraid of an incident happening.”

The venue, Comedy on State, reportedly explained to ticket holders
in an email that the show was canceled due to safety concerns
stemming from “escalating protests” and the
“contentious nature of the dialogue” surrounding the conflict in Gaza.

UJM’s question about kiruv with Counterfeit Jews
has been on my mind for more than 25 years.

MY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM:

Every large kiruv organization (NSCY, Aish HaTorah, etc)
should employ a team of highly-qualified genealogists,
to investigate the ancestry of every Baal Teshuvah.

This investigation by expert genealogists should be provided
free-of-charge to every Baal Teshuvah, but the organization
should hold those records permanently, for future reference.

This investigation by genealogists should be done
as soon as possible, even before the Baal Teshuvah
is admitted to the kiruv programs.

Some will be revealed to be Gentiles.
Some will be revealed to be mamzerim.
Some will be revealed to be chalalim.

This makes kiruv more expensive, but it cannot be avoided.

Last but not least, it would be praiseworthy if every Baal Teshuvah
(and every Jew in general) would take a DNA test that proves
that he [or she] really is the son [or [daughter] of his [or her] father.

Without this DNA test, this person could be a mamzer and not know it,
and unintentionally become the ancestor of thousands of mamzerim.

Dear YWN Moderator,

This entire discussion should be DELETED.

Thank you!
