QUESTION:Since 84.5% of Israeli Jews support drafting Haredim,
what % of non-Haredi Israeli Jews support drafting Haredim?November 12, 2025 12:02 pm at 12:02 pm in reply to: An End to Shidduch Résumés by Rabbi Chananya Weissman #2470908SQUARE_ROOTParticipantSince we are already taking about Chananya Weissman,

“FYI. Steipler writes clearly, black on white,
in Karyane De’Igreta, volume 1,
that it is assur to say lashon hara about Dati Leumi Yehudim,
even if they [mistakenly] believe that the state is the forerunner of our ge’oula.They are not ‘begeder yatsa miklal amitecha’
and are to be considered our brother in all halachik respects.”SQUARE_ROOTParticipantSince Mr. HaKatan claims to believe in Torah, he should reveal to us
which living posek or Rosh HaYeshivah gave him clear and unambiguous
permission to publicly and repeatedly refer to Religious Zionist Jews as “idolaters”,
which increases hatred between Jews and decreases Jewish unity?Since Mr. HaKatan claims to believe in Torah, he should reveal to us
which living posek or Rosh HaYeshivah gave him clear and unambiguous
permission to publicly and repeatedly refer to Mizrachi Jews as “idol worshippers”,
which increases hatred between Jews and decreases Jewish unity?What is the name and location of the Rabbi
who gave him permission to say those wicked things?When did Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ZTL ZYA ever say that Religious Zionist
Jews or Mizrachi Jews are “idol worshippers”? Probably never.When did Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA ever say that Religious Zionist
Jews or Mizrachi Jews are “idol worshippers”? Probably never.When did Rabbi Moshe Sherer ZTL ZYA ever say that Religious Zionist Jews
or Mizrachi Jews are “idol worshippers”? Probably never.When did Rabbi Aharon HaKohen Pam ZTL ZYA ever say that Religious Zionist
Jews or Mizrachi Jews are “idol worshippers”? Probably never.When did Rabbi Yisroel HaLevi Belsky ZTL ZYA ever say that Religious Zionist
Jews or Mizrachi Jews are “idol worshippers”? Probably never.Jewish History teaches us many times that Jews
cannot survive when they hate each other.
Yet Mr. HaKatan never stops increasing hate between Jews
with his never-ending evil false accusations.Just as The Satan never stops making accusations against Jews,
Mr. HaKatan also never stops never stops making accusations against Jews,
because he is a student of The Satan.Mr. HaKatan will never be happy,
until he succeeds in causing a Jewish Civil War
and another Holocaust.November 11, 2025 8:47 pm at 8:47 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2470751SQUARE_ROOTParticipantUJM said:

Mr. UJM, has repeatedly shown himself to be

Since non-Jews sometimes visit Jewish web sites,

November 10, 2025 12:38 pm at 12:38 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2470178SQUARE_ROOTParticipantThis article is from YWN (Yeshiva World News) World Headquarters in NYC:
Israel’s Interior Minister Moshe Arbel on Monday permanently revoked
the entry visa of Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss — the twisted American spokesman
for the fringe Neturei Karta movement — after Weiss was photographed
meeting Iran’s foreign minister in Brazil and praising Tehran.Arbel, invoking rarely used emergency powers under the Law of Return,
barred Weiss from ever setting foot in Israel, declaring he
“will not allow anyone who acts against the State of Israel
and identifies with its enemies to enter it.”Weiss, 69, traveled this week to São Paulo to participate in events
around the BRICS summit. According to Iranian state media,
he held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi,
offered him flowers, and signed a memorial book for
“martyrs of Zionist attacks on Iran.”
Images posted online showed Weiss denouncing Israel
to Araghchi’s face — a move Arbel called crossing “a red line.”Weiss has long relished the role of provocateur, championing
Iran and other sworn enemies of the Jewish state.In 2006, he was filmed in Tehran at a government-sponsored
Holocaust denial conference, and over the years has repeatedly
praised Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iranian leadership while demonizing Israel.A resident of Monsey, New York, Weiss is
the most visible face of Neturei Karta.
His activities have left him ostracized by virtually every
mainstream Orthodox Jewish body in the world.Israeli officials said Monday that Tehran was exploiting
high-profile meetings with Jewish dissidents like Weiss
to push propaganda delegitimizing Israel’s right to defend itself.“The message is clear,” Arbel said.
“There will be zero tolerance for Jewish collaborators
who embrace those who seek Israel’s destruction.”SOURCE: article titled: “LONG OVERDUE: Israel Bans Neturei Karta’s

Avnei Nezer, chelek Yoreh Deah, siman taf nun dalet from sif katan mem dalet
and onwards [pages 287 to 289]. Now for sif katan nun in more detail:‘ … and now it is good and not questionable why Rambam
[in his halacha sefer Mishneh Torah] and all poskim DID NOT bring
The Three Oaths LaHalacha, because those oaths are not LaHalacha,
because the person himself, his body, was not commanded to keep the oaths…That is why the poskim DID NOT bring the oaths LaHalacha.
That is why NONE of the widely-accepted halacha sefarim mention The Three Oaths.It is stupid to claim that The Three Oaths are “undisputed halacha”.

perfectly clear that his sharp criticisms were intended
only for the original Zionists, not their descendants.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantThe fanatical hate-filled anti-Zionists claim to follow the Gedolim,

Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok HaKohen Kook,
Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky, and others.Fanatical hate-filled anti-Zionists are not logical and not sincere.
I suspect that they receive payments from
Hamas or Hezbollah or the Ayatollahs of Iran.
They certainly speak like allies of Hamas and Hezbollah!They endanger millions of Jewish lives,
by repeatedly advocating for the suicidal dismantlement
of the only Jewish State and the only Jewish Army.By repeatedly advocating for policies that
endanger millions of Jewish lives and possessions,
they become a rodaif and a mosair, millions of times.Their punishments in Gehinom will be eternal.

What did Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA say about the modern State of Israel?
__________________________________________
ANSWER:Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA said this about the modern State of Israel:
The State of Israel was one example he gave of
the need to replace kana’us with a more balanced view.On the one hand, he fully endorsed a letter issued
by Rabbi Elazar Schach on the eve of Agudath Israel
entering the governing coalition in Israel in 1977 [CE],
which called upon the religious community
not to be carried away by enthusiasm for a state
founded as a secular state, whose laws are secular laws,
and whose leadership is secular.He had himself frequently warned those leaving for Israel,
“Don’t lose your head at the sight of a Jewish army.”At the same time, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky]
disagreed with the view of the Satmar Rebbe
that the miraculous Israeli victory in 1967 [CE]
was the work of the sitra achra (satanic forces):[Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky said:]
“I deny that miracles can emanate from a destructive satanical force.
Miracles of such magnitude can only be performed by a force for good.”Reb Yaakov [Kamenetsky] felt that but for
the creation of the State in 1948 [CE] a million Jews
would have become assimilated as a result of
the despair that followed the Holocaust and
attributed the renascence [rebirth] of Soviet Jewry
to the miraculous Israeli military victory in 1967.If only the Israeli government had also recognized
Hashem’s miraculous deliverance in 1967 [CE],
he added, history would have been changed..…
Similarly, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky] concluded, recognition of
Israel’s role in preventing millions of Jews
from losing any connection to the Jewish people
must mitigate our kana’us, even as
our love for our fellow Jews in Eretz Yisrael
must “not blind us to [their] shortcomings.”SOURCE: Reb Yaakov: The Life and Times of HaGaon

On the next page, page 210, Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky said this:“In this land [Eretz Yisrael] … a carpenter is not merely a laborer,
but one fulfilling the mitzvah of building Eretz Yisrael.”SOURCE: Reb Yaakov: The Life and Times of HaGaon

NOTE: Rabbi Aharon Feldman, in The Jewish Observer,
called “Reb Yaakov” a “remarkable book which
genuinely evokes the spirit of Reb Yaakov [Kamenetsky].”__________________________________________
PERSONAL COMMENTS:[1] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky never said that
the State of Israel should be dismantled.[2] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky never said that
Religious Zionists were idol-worshippers.[3] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky (in the quote shown above)
recognized that Zionism helped to PREVENT assimilation.[4] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky (in the first quote shown above)
recognized that Israel helped to PREVENT “millions of
Jews from losing any connection to the Jewish people.”[5] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky (in the second quote shown above)
said that a carpenter in Eretz Yisrael is fulfilling the mitzvah
of building Eretz Yisrael — even though Eretz Yisrael
was ruled by Secular Zionists, at that time. WOW!!__________________________________________

was recently elected mayor of New York City (Rachmana Latzlan),
partially because of the many votes of ILLEGAL ALIENS,
because New York City does not require Voter Identification.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantRabbi Meir Simchah of Dvinsk, the Meshech Chochmah,
said that The Three Oaths no longer apply because
the nations gave us permission to return to Eretz Yisrael
in The San Remo Conference of 25 April 1920 of The Common Era.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantRabbi Aryeh Kaplan (ZTL ZYA) taught:
…American Jews are also the most complacent Jews who have ever lived.
No matter what anybody may preach, no matter what lessons
history has taught us, we all know that “it can’t happen here.”SEEN IN: Faces and Facets (part I, chapter 3, page 45, article titled:
The Saddest Day) by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, year 1993 CE,
Moznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn, New YorkRabbi Aryeh Kaplan was an Orthodox Chareidi Rabbi
who lived in New York City from year 1935 CE to 1983 CE.
During his relatively short life, he wrote approximately
60 books about Torah topics, including the English translation
of Yalkut Meam Loez, which is around 20 hardcover volumes.He was also a scientist, whose name was listed in
“THE WHO’S WHO OF AMERICAN PHYSICS”.PS: Rabbi Meir Kanane [ZTL ZYA HYD] also said many times that
“American Jews are the most complacent Jews who have ever lived”.
For mentioning this unpopular truth, he was attacked and hated.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantSome major Rabbis held that the Three Oaths are NOT in force anymore,
including: Rabbi Chaim Vital, Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, and Rabbi Shlomo Kluger.Even if they were in force, in 1948 CE, there were many Rabbis who held
that they were not violated, because the League of Nations and
the United Nations Organization both voted to establish a Jewish state,
in 1920 CE and 1948 CE, so the State of Israel was NOT established by force.Also, the oath not to go to Eretz Yisrael in large numbers requires
more than half the Jews in the world —- this is the opinion of
the Shittah Mekubetzes, the Maharal, and Rabbi Yonasan Eybshitz.The Torah Temimah held that it only refers to when people
are forced to move to Eretz Yisrael, not when they do so voluntarily.So do not falsely claim that ALL Rabbis held that they are in effect,
or that Israel violated them.PS: Rabbi Chaim Vital says clearly in Shaar Hakdamos that
The Three Oaths only applied for 1,000 years.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantHarvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“Critics of Israel who generally take no interest in human rights or civil liberties…

Becoming a Noachide is much more logical, and much much much easier, than becoming a Jew.
There is also a very big problem with people “converting” to Judaism, for the wrong reasons.
SQUARE_ROOTParticipantFanatical anti-Zionists like UJM and HaKatan win debates,
not because they have better facts, and not because
they have better logic, but because they endlessly repeat
the same completely-refuted claims,
until their opponents quit from overwhelming exhaustion.It is emotionally exhausting to debate with people like
UJM and HaKatan, who refuse to admit when their opponents
make a valid point, and endlessly repeat the same claims,
even after those claims have been refuted multiple times
in multiple ways by multiple people.This is what their internal code looks like:
10 Publicly attack Zionists and Zionism at all times.
20 Ignore all statements from non-Charedi Rabbis.
30 Ignore all statements from non-anti-Zionist Rabbis.
40 Ignore all refutations from opponents.
50 Ignore the devastating impact of their own advice.
60 GOTO line 10.Notice that this code repeats endlessly, and very few people
have the time or the patience to deal with endless repetition,
nor are most people able to cope with having their
perfectly valid facts and logic repeatedly ignored.And that is how people UJM and HaKatan win debates:
not with facts, not with logic, but with never-ending
repetition and closed-minded fanaticism.__________________________________________
I have been watching UJM and HaKatan for approximately 2 or 3 years.
During that time, I cannot remember even *** ONE *** time
when they ever criticized Arabs or Muslims or The United Nations
or The New York Times. They criticize Israel *** ONLY ***.Can you understand why I suspect them of being
paid agents of Hamas or Hezbollah or Iran?And I am not joking when I say that.

Another tactic that UJM and HaKatan use to win debates is
constantly attacking their opponents
by accusing them if being heretics and idol-worshipers.Very few people can tolerate that kind of abuse
for a long time, and they know that.And that is how UJM and HaKatan win debates:
not with facts, not with logic, but with never-ending
personal attacks against people who disagree with them.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantFanatical anti-Zionists like UJM and HaKatan win debates,

October 23, 2025 3:43 pm at 3:43 pm in reply to: Why Jews are Quitting the Democratic Party #2462682SQUARE_ROOTParticipantSince President Donald Trump was re-elected for his 2nd term,
the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered
$214 BILLION DOLLARS in wasteful government spending,
which amount to $1,329 foe each taxpayer.If the Democrats would have succeeded, then none of this wasteful
government spending would have ever been discovered.
Instead, it would have increased.According to a recent Quinnipiac Poll made on 2025 October 16,
the Democrats have a national approval rating of 26%
and a disapproval rating of 67%.The disapproval rating of the Democrats is 41% higher than their approval rating!!
WOW!! They deserve it, because they are more wicked than Sodom and Gomorrah!!
A few days ago, the entire Editorial Board of The Washington Post
delivered a scathing rebuke to the Democratic Party,
because of the recent federal government shut-down.
This is amazing, when you consider that The Washington Post
is a leftist publication, that always tries to help the Democratic Party
and always tries to harm the Republican Party.This is because the Democratic Party shut-down the federal government
to protect multi-BILLION-dollar subsidies to ILLEGAL ALIENS.A few days ago, Councilman David W. Kupferschmid of Alpine, New Jersey,
quit the Democratic Party and became a Republican.According to a recent study, the number of people quitting
the Democratic Party to became Republicans is 4 TIMES GREATER
than the number of people quitting the Republican Party to become Democrats.October 22, 2025 10:01 am at 10:01 am in reply to: Plan B – An Open Letter to Ultra Orthodox Community Leaders #2461713SQUARE_ROOTParticipantEvalimoshavlo said:

MY RESPONSE:That is EXACTLY what Rabbi Meir Kahane [ZTL ZYA HYD] said,
in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, until the day he died.Back then, people ignored his warnings or laughed at him,
especially the Liberals, Leftists and Charedim.After all these years, you finally admit that: KAHANE WAS RIGHT!!!

UJM’s unwillingness to acknowledge that there are other opinions is worse than shameful.
It is also very dangerous, and has the potential to cause a Jewish Civil War,
with Jews shooting at each other, and intentionally murdering each other.It also has the potential to cause another HOLOCAUST,
this time in Eretz Yisrael, by dismantling the world’s
only Jewish state and only Jewish army.That makes UJM a very big RODAIF and a very big MOSAIR.
I do not use those words for dramatic effect; I mean them with all of my heart.
Over the past 45 years, I cannot remember calling even one person
a rodaif or a mosair, except for UJM and HaKatan and the Neturei Karta.October 21, 2025 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2461142SQUARE_ROOTParticipantBefore this discussion proceeds any further,
it would be very appropriate
if someone could give us all the exact name
of the sefer that UJM is quoting from
— and also the chapter name or chapter number,
and also paragraph number and/or page number.And also the name of the author of the sefer and
the year in which the sefer was written.If a specific letter or responsa is being quoted,
then we should know the year when that letter or responsa was written.http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rabbi-shraga-feivel-mendlowitz-vs-satmar-rebbe

was alive, so you cannot bring a proof from this.Just a few years ago, the Neturei Karta marched
with Muslim-terrorist-sympathizers, on Shabbos.
That story was reported by Yeshiva World News,
on this web site; I remember it.When did the Steipler Gaon approve of the Neturei Karta
marching with Muslim-terrorist-sympathizers, on Shabbos?When did the Steipler Gaon approve of the Neturei Karta
meeting with the Prime Minister of Iran?I want to say more about this topic, but for the sake of simplicity,
I will end my comment here, for now.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantNo offense intended, but I find it difficult to believe that Mishpacha magazine
wrote an article suggesting that Zohran Mamdani is not so bad.Mishpacha magazine cannot be that stupid.
Mishpacha magazine cannot be that wicked.There are so many serious problems with Zohran Mamdani and his policies,
that I do not have the time or the patience to list even half of them.Suffice to say that his sympathies are 100% with the
so-called “Palestinians” (phoney-stinians) and Hamas.Suffice to say that his economic policies have a proven
record of total failure in other cities and other nations.October 16, 2025 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm in reply to: Bli Neder no music until all hostages are free #2459051SQUARE_ROOTParticipantMy Thoughts After Two Years without Music
=============================Even if all of the hostages were freed today,
what about the many hostages who were murdered in captivity?
Including BABIES who were murdered in captivity?Even if all of the hostages were freed today,
what about more than 900 of our precious holy soldiers
who died fighting the wicked genocidal Muslim terrorists?Even if all of the hostages were freed today,
what about the many precious holy soldiers
who suffer from permanent injuries and disabilities that will NEVER heal?Even if all of the hostages were freed today,
what about the many wives and children of our precious holy soldiers,
who are now widows and orphans?__________________________________________
After two years without music, my thoughts have not been so clear
since my childhood. When I say clear thoughts, this means that
my mind is almost-never interrupted by random memories
of the music that I used to listen to, and even when
those musical memories happen, they quickly fade.Lehavdil, it is like being able to watch television
without any unwanted interruptions from commercials.
(I stopped watching television more than 30 years ago.)__________________________________________
Dear Matzav Inbox,I write this with great trepidation, as I am not one who is capable
of sizing up an entire klal, yet this tzarah has been
nagging at me for a while now, and I must speak out.We have approximately 100 of our brothers and sisters being held hostage
in dire circumstances, and our response as a klal of Torah Yidden, in my opinion,
has been severely lacking. I am aware that nearly every shul says
one to three kapitlach of Tehillim after each tefilah, and I am sure
these tefillos carry great value to Hashem.However, I believe we as a klal are failing to truly feel the pain
of the hostages and their families. I am sure that many individuals
have taken upon themselves an extra mitzvah or tefilah as a zechus
for their safe return, but I do not see a collective response that is adequate.I used to wonder how I and this generation would have felt and
responded had we been living in America during the Holocaust.
Would we really have felt the pain of the Yidden suffering in Europe?
Would our lives have been any different due to their plight?
I am horrified to say that it appears that after a few weeks,
we would have, by and large, disconnected from their suffering
and continued on with our lives as usual. How can this be?The hostages are undergoing their own Holocaust, Rachmana litzlan.
Can we take two minutes to think about the conditions they are in
— stuck in underground tunnels with no sunlight, little food (if any),
under the control of ruthless animals, and so much worse
for the women and children (may Hashem protect them all)?We know that when tzaros happen, they are a wake-up call from Hashem
to do teshuvah. We know this is the ultimate purpose of the matzav
that Klal Yisroel finds itself in. However, I think we all admit that teshuvah
is very difficult. Perhaps this is why Hashem brought this great tzarah to Klal Yisroel.
Hashem is not asking for our immediate teshuvah.He wants us to cry out to Him in pain for our brothers’ and sisters’ matzav
and beg for their yeshua! This is something that we all should be able to do,
as it only requires a little bit of thought about their dire predicament.Any human being, and certainly any Yid, is capable of connecting to and feeling their pain.
This tze’akah is what led to Hashem’s salvation in Mitzrayim.
Ultimately, this will lead to our teshuvah as well.I understand that seemingly all of the hostages were secular.
Regrettably, this may make it more difficult to connect to their suffering.
However, we must remember that each one has a Yiddishe neshama!
We would be obligated to be mechalel Shabbos for them if their lives were in danger.
These are Hashem’s children!(As an aside, I heard firsthand a recording
of one of the freed female hostages speaking to the mother of
another female hostage who is, nebach, still being held.
She told her that her daughter had taken upon herself to keep
Shabbos even as a hostage and that she refuses to obey the
commands of her captors when they entail chillul Shabbos!
Can we even fathom the level that this baalas teshuvah has reached?)How can we as a klal bring ourselves to feel their pain?
One suggestion is that the gedolim or rabbonim declare a day of fasting,
dare I say, once a month. There would be an atzeres in our shuls the night before,
with divrei hisorerus from a gadol or rav that each shul could connect to,
followed by Tehillim (or the shul could have its own divrei hisorerus and Tehillim).The point is that the klal should be united in crying out to Hashem,
begging Him for a yeshua for the hostages and for the entire
klal from our enemies. I am not asking that we even cut back
on our pleasures and vacations, as this is a lot to ask for many.However, how can we not feel their pain at least once a month for a few hours?
Again, I am not one to give mussar, as I fall short in many areas as well.
However, I feel that Hashem may be demanding more of us
and waiting to hear our cries before He brings their yeshua.Sincerely,
Waiting for Our Collective CrySOURCE: Matzav Inbox: Where Is Our Collective Tzaar?
