    @somejew

    …those poskim who disagree with the above two issurim of Vayoel Moshe DO NOT disagree with the fundamental principals ……. that we kosher Jews continue to pray three times a day for its state’s peaceful destruction (amen, kain yehi rutzon).

    —–

    sheker vechazav

    those poskim – the overwhelming majority of talmidei hahamim by the way – pray that all of our errant brothers in charge of the state should have a change of heart and that the power of the erliche yidden within the state should exceed the power of the wicked people , and that all of the inhabitants of the state should merit to live in peace and security until mashiach comes.

    ITS A HUTSPAH TO PUT WORDS INTO OTHER PEOPLES MOUTHS AGAINST THEIR WILL.

    One cannot escape the fact that untold numbers of Jews lost their religion and connection to the RBSHO because of the historical Z movement.

    Somehow , by some illogical obscure logical deduction, that means that many millions of innocent Jews could be deprived of their lives, their liberty and their property.

    somejew has not understood my position here and seems like unable to be mechalek bein dvarim.

    he ‘uses’ the multiple historical kol korei’s against Z to buttress his point.

    he misses the point totally.

    The issue at hand is one and one only –
    .

    DO WE DISREGARD P/N OF MILLIONS HERE AND NOW ? YES OR NO ?

    One can answer either way.

    But to use v’ym to answer yes is a clear distortion of the halachik decision making process.

    somejew [and nowadays satmar’s] position is yes.

    He disregards the halachik imperative of mass p/n .

    Any polemics against Z , justified as they may be , is not a HALACHIK reason to disregard the acute mass p/n situation right in front of us.

    Including the entirety of v’ym .

    @AAQ
    Yankel, just be careful dismissing seforim because it is,agada.
    This bias towards halakha is due to halakha having rules of derivation, while agadic discourse can go wild. This is a good reason to be careful with conclusions but don’t dismiss it totally.
    —-

    I never dismissed agada , has veshalom.

    I did take issue with the crooked and narrowminded statement that vay’m is the sole accepted halacha opinion , since supposedly no one else took issue with its content.

    .
    The only way to respond to such a ststement is that this is utter drivel.

    The overwhelming majority of the content of vy’m is agada, and [besides the klal of ein meshivin al hadrush] most gdolei yisrael disagreed with its conclusions halacha lema’aseh.

    There was never any normative halachik process applied to these subjects.

    FOR SURE NOT TO THE EXTREMELY HAMUR SUBJECT OF MILLIONS MASS PIKUACH NEFESH .

    Which some posters here are attempting to paskin in a ‘hobby like’ way , basing themselves on so called divrei drush in order to condemn their own brothers and sisters to gruesome deaths , barbaric torture and unspeakable atrocities.

    All in order that they themselves should feel smug in their own superior morality as if they know better than the true talmidei hahamim who ceaselessly toil in torah , and arrive at their conclusions in a real and responsible manner.

    There is no other explanation for their approach , besides the one mentioned.

    habad as a whole ,slowly going OTD …

    meaning as their ideology as concentrating on their rebbi more than HKBH .

    They prefer bringing their rebbi nachat ruach , as opposed to bringing the RBSHO nachat ruach.

    That is OTD.

    Its a slow process , over years and decades . Over generations.

    bottom line . ard is doling out tickets to gehinnom.

    But not across the board.

    When the gdoley yisrael manhigim and yo’atsim of aguda are called a disgrace, ard is extremely quiet.

    But when leadership of satmar [not clear whether the intention is towards lay leadership or rabbinic leadership] , then ard comes out in full force and notifies us in BOLD LETTERING , no less , that we won a one way trip to gehinnom.

    It seems that he is [self]appointed as guardian of sha’arei gehinnom.

    You would be hard pressed to find an organization more controlled by laymen than the Satmar affiliated Edah HaChariedis . The lay people in Agudah do not put out Kol Koreys in the name of the moetzes without their knowledge. The Edah HaChareidis does so on a weekly basis. It is alleged that Rav Yisroel Yaakov Fisher the Raavad of the Edah HaChareidis used to say that he reads the pashkevilin on his way home from Mincha to find out what he signed on last night…

    @sechel83

    According to my sources, habad has burnt r deutchs books in a public bonfire.

    Habad is very big and varied, so the news would not necessarily have gotten to your ears.

    besides this , you write that r deutch is AGAINST habad because he expresses fear about the dangers habad faces ….

    I would not charachterise this as against .
    Not at all . I would call that rather “PRO habad” .

    He , as a real habadi , is concerned about where ‘his’ movement coulld end up .

    A mother concerned for her sons future is not AGAINST him.
    The bigger the connection with her son , the greater the concern about his future.

    A stranger might dismiss her concerns. Because the stranger does not have that connection.

    So , ironically the one who defends habad is really not concerned about habad. They could not care less what ideological or theolgical hell hole habad ends up ,

    whereas the one ‘attacking’ habad , aderaba , is the one deeply connected to the original and true habad and therefore also deeply concerned about its [common sense] future.

    Have news for you – habad as a movement is slowly going OTD . As long as they are incapable [or unwilling] to squarely confront its demons in the closet.

    That is their only hope for salvation.

    Ok . So lets rephrase it to make it fit better with the original intention of my post.

    If it is permitted to call the leadership of agudas yisroel under the Zionist State [48-25] a ‘general disgrace’ [as per somejew] ,meaning the collective gdolim who led AY, then this moniker would fit better to satmar’s current leadership.

    @ard

    ….. when discussing the general disgrace that is the leadership of agudas yisroel under the Zionist State.
    [part of original quote by somejew]
    ——

    “… the leadership of agudas yisroel under the Z state . ”

    Meaning the successive and collective mo’etset gdolei hatorah [plus the other non members of the mo’etses] who guided agudas yisroel from 1948 till 2025 .

    They supposedly are a ‘general disgrace’ …. according to somejew .

    Which does not earn any tickets to gehinnom. According to ard , at least.

    Only calling the leadership of [nowadays] satmar a disgrace . This is the only way , again according to ard at least , to gain acceptance in gehinnom.

    Looked through the index at the end of Vyoel Moshe .

    The majority of the quotes are from aggada sefarim and from agada portions of the halacha sfarim.

    Even when vayoel moshe discusses halacha , it reminds me a bit of the hadrat panim anti shaving sefer .

    Both had their conclusion neatly defined, well in advance of their research.

    Not speaking ivrit is a hagada subject.

    Three shavu’ot is a hagada subject, as clearly stated by the posek hador the avnei nezer

    The only halacha subject discussed is the mitsva of yishuv EY , where SR is at odds with many other gdolei yisrael who he does not even mention.

    Vyoel Moshe is much more of a polemical sefer , a forceful argument against the zionists and their collaborators than a halacha sefer.

    —-
    I could not find any halacha deliberation anywhere, regarding the withdrawal of pikuach nefesh protection of 8 million innocent people.

    Nor is there anywhere any written halachik correspondence kedarka shel torah, between the our greatest rabanim , re such a monumental issue.

    In the absence of a proper halachik discussion , any approach negating their pikuach nefesh considerations , should be called out for what it really is :

    HAFKARAT DAMAM SHEL YISRAEL , no less.

    what normative halachik practices, according to that we shouldn’t follow Mishna Brura etc.
    [aheimisher to yb]
    ===

    Mishna brura is a step by step text based peirush on Sh A.

    whereas VY’M and al hageoula are in depth all encompassing pseudo hlachik sfarim.
    No connection between the 2.


    When Mahari bei rav wanted to mechadesh smicha , he wrote to many gdolei hador.

    Whenever there were thorny aguna she’elot , the relevant rabbanim wrote to many gdolei hador.

    When there was a gzerat hashchita in Germany pre WW2 , the relevant rabbanim wrote to many gdolei hador.

    When the new invention of electricity made its inroads , the relevant rabbanim wrote to many gdolei hador.

    And the list can go on and on.

    But when

    the newly created medina created manifold millions pikuach nefesh she’lot , then suddenly, one sefer without any haskamot , without any give and take , without any back and forth correspondence suffices ….

    THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE NORMATIVE HALACHIK PROCESS . Nor was it.

    This seems more like a tool for shaping public orthodox opinion.

    What intimidation tactics, don’t throw accusations at talmidei chachomim without proof
    [aheimsher to yb]

    ===

    It is well known that SR merov kana’uto whenever discussing the Z movement , he started screaming .

    One cannot have a level headed , proper halachic weighing up discussion under such circumstances. I am not saying that this intimidation was pre planned.
    The fact is nevertheless that said intimidation stifled proper level headed discussion of those very weighty issues.

    There are proper reliable sources that many gdolei yisrael did not want to discuss those topics with him , for this very reason.

    Like the Imrai Emet. Tshebiner Rav ,Belzer Rav R Aron and more.

    Even those rabanim who did discuss those topics with him , were clever enough to stay clear from the truly contentious issues .

    @aheimesher

    Normative halachik practice, thousands of years old do not change, even by an unproven [or proven] estimate of 1/4 of klal yisrael.

    fact is that
    there are no haskamot to vayoel moshe

    fact is that
    there is no written give and take between the mechaber and any of the other gdolei talmidei hahamim of the generation kedarka shel torah , like we find by any major deliberation in torah like by our truly great like r akiva eiger , noda beyehuda etc etc

    fact is that
    one cannot base halaha on feelings , how righteous they may be.

    fact is that
    the subject of STRIPPING MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM THEIR PIKUACH NEFESH PROTECTIONS is an extremely weighty halachik subject .

    fact is that
    satmar rav used intimidation tactics when arguing with other talmidei hahamim and gdolei yisrael on this subject.

    fact is that
    the whole of vayoel moshe is a compendium of mostly aggadic materiel used to leharchik et ha’adam min haresha’im bekamah drachim.

    fact is that
    It was not accepted as halaha by the overwhelming majority of gdolei talmidei hahamim in klal yisrael.

    fact is that
    One cannot base halaha on hagada.

    fact is that
    Avnei Nezer very clearly disagrees with vayoel moshe.

    fact is that
    steipler very clearly disagrees with vayoel moshe.

    fact is that
    It is mutar al pi hahalaha to exaggerate in order to stop your talmidim from associating with bad elements .
    Cf hafets haim hilchot lashon hara.

    fact is that
    despite the claims by its author , vayoel moshe was not meant to be taken literally, only leharchik et haadam min harsha’im.

    It is mutar al pi hahalaha to exaggerate in order to stop your talmidim from associating with bad elements .
    Cf hafets haim hilchot lashon hara.

    ====

    One cannot base halaha on feelings , how righteous they may be.

    Nor on hagada.

    halaha is based on proven hochachot from gemara rishonim and poskim.

    And has to be accepted by klal yisraels poskim and gdolei yisrael.
    =====

    Al achat kama vekama when the subject is STRIPPING MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM THEIR PIKUACH NEFESH PROTECTIONS.

    Your approach to pikuach nefesh protection stripping would amount to a bad joke, if it would not be plain dangerous.

    Never in the history of klal yisrael had we a mass pikuach nefesh question approached with such flippancy.

    I will repeat the truth as it is :

    Katan from far off chul condemned the innocent ahenu yoshvei erets yisrael to total victimhood by barbaric monsters, just to fit his narrowminded parroted ideology.

    He is using divrei mussar re hitbadlut me resha’im to be halacha lema’aseh mafkir damam shel yisrael.

    His thick skull cannot grasp the difference between those two totally different worlds.

    The world of mussar and agada , and the world of halacha lema’aseh .

    We pray and hope that the RBSH’O will be chonen him some dei’a.

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

    Katan has not mentioned – even once – what he thinks will happen to 8 million innocents in EY.

    He simply does not seem to care.

    Katan will support hatsole in the US . and any other lifesaving organization.

    He cares about pikuach nefesh.

    But that is minused by 8 million.

    8 million innocents condemned by katan to …..

    Thank you to somejew .

    At least we see the yawning chasm between those who take the SR writings literally [i.e. most of satmar nowadays]

    and the rest of klal yisrael, who still have a strong sense of reality plus achrayut for the life and well being of their brothers and sisters.

    @menachem

    Was the wife of the rayats ‘accepted’ in habad ?

    Menachem the expert on habad is hereby invited to give his professional, truthful explanation of the complete story.

    Would like to say “unbiased” expert, but can’t.
    Menachem is not only biased in how slanted he presents the details. He is even biased in what he addresses and in what he omits.

    Any unpleasant , uncomfortable issue he omits.

    And then he claims that it is omitted , because he happens to be ‘not in the mood’ ….. .

    But Yankels understanding of Menachem’s sidestepping tactics ….

    Which question he deigns to answer and which questions he conveniently ignores …..

    That is like whose understanding ?

    This is a very valid question.

    Katan from far off chul condemned the innocent ahenu yoshvei erets yisrael to total victimhood by barbaric monsters, just to fit his narrowminded parroted ideology.

    He is using divrei mussar re hitbadlut me resha’im to be halacha lema’aseh mafkir damam shel yisrael.

    @somejew

    I repeat :

    We are talking here about pikuach nefesh of millions of innocents , which inexplicably does not feature at all in your deliberations, which i find unforgivable.


    The following is the crux of satmar extremism –

    in one fell swoop , without adequate halachik deliberation whatsoever, they paskened that THERE IS NO PIKUACH NEFESH IMPERATIVE wherever the Z word is involved.

    In one fell swoop they condemned eight million Jews to having no protection under our three thousand year old pikuach nefesh laws.

    Babies, children , mothers , fathers , grandfathers , grandmothers.

    They did not even give them a hearing , a chance to argue ,

    Boom.

    In one fell swoop.

    No pikuach nefesh. Al pi torah – They can all die.

    Their property is for the taking.

    No protection.

    all because of this magic Z word.


    That is THE issue where satmar nowadays diverges from the rest of klal yisrael.

    They took the aggadic guidance from their first rebbe , which was designed to cut them off from the zionist movement , and adapted it to halacha lema’aseh WITHOUT GOING THROUGH AGE OLD HONORED HALACHIK practice.

    With the extremely sad result of megaleh panim batorah shelo kehalacha.

    With the stroke of a pen they stripped millions of defenceless innocents from their halachik pikuach nefesh protection .

    And without even notifying them ….

    What I find very difficult , is the speech Shumer gave , explaining his support of arms embargoes against Israel during a seven front war .

    He sourced inter alia Satmar shitah.

    Official Satmar kept quiet about that and did not protest at the usage of their shitah to deny 8 million innocent Jews living in EY, lifesaving defensive equipment.

    I cannot understand how they could do that .

    According to menachem , the fact that his rebbi came out to particpate in the levaya of R Rivkin is a sure sign that the slain rosh yeshiva was ‘accepted’ in habad.

    Q for him , hope he is ‘in the mood’ , or maybe better said ‘is he brave enough’ ….
    .
    .

    did your rebbi come out for the levaya of his mother in law , the wife of rayats ?

    If yes , is that also a sure sign that she was ‘accepted’ in habad ?
    .
    .

    Was she really ‘accepted’ in habad ?

    Is she mentioned in the magazine ‘derher’ [another of menachems criteria of acceptance in habad] ?
    .
    .
    .

    Is menachem honest [and brave] enough to front up ????
