One of the leading physicians in Kiryas Joel, Dr Zev Zelenko, has announced that he is leaving the Village of Kiryas Joel where he has been practicing medicine for nearly two decades.
Zelenko made national headlines recently by promoting Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19.
YWN began publishing videos of Zelenko in mid March as the COVID-19 pandemic began raging in the United States. Dr Zelenko stated in his videos that he had given the medication to hundreds of patients and was seeing tremendous positive results.
Shortly after the release of his videos, the political leadership released public letters stating that Dr Zelenko was not one of the leading doctors in Kiryas Joel, and was just one of many. No reason for the release of this letter was ever given. Zelenko never backed down and kept releasing videos touting his results with his drug cocktail.
Just this week President Trump stunned the world when he announced that he was taking the medication as a preventive to COVID-19. Trump even mentioned Zelenko (not by name) in a press conference.
The anti-Zelenko PR campaign to tarnish his reputation continued in Kiras Joel which resulted in him releasing a video on Motzei Shabbos which blasted the political leadership of Kiryas Joel by name and listed everything they did to him.
Today’s video came as a shock to his many patients and friends in Kiryas Joel.

It is a sad day for Klal Yisroel if a great Physician that has contributed so much to the welfare of his patients has to leave because of Sinas Chinum!!
We all need to examine ourselves if we are free of this travesty. In perek last week he saw that if you stand by idly when a Yid is wronged it is just like you did the wrong yourself. Dr. Zelenko needs to hear from Klal Yisroel. He is hurting only because one or a few of our Brothers did wrong. We should all be showing support for a Man as noble as Dr. Zelenko.!!!
crazy stay safe we love you my hashem go with you all the way signature: a jew from bb ❤❤❤💕💕💖💖
I wonder why
Satmars have democrats values (doesn’t support Israel, wants handouts) and trump is against both
This guy supported trump therefore he has to go
He doesn’t deserve this
As they say, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
He started up with the powers that run the town, so he’s been run out of town.
Thought, as a doctor, he has power and influence, think again.
There is a pecking order:
The little peckers must follow the big peckers.
He’s a hero
Come to Lakewood!! There’s major shortage of Doctors here!
Dr. Zelenko deserves our respect. Hundreds of deaths were avoided because of Dr. Zelenko’s medical regimen for COVID. He is the Schliach from Hashem to bring healing to the sick! Dr. Zelenko, you have our blessing for good Life, Health, and Hatzlacha in everything you do! Klal Yisroel thanks you!!
Probably best for him, his family and his patients. In recent weeks, he seems to have shifted his focus from his medical practice to becoming a national celebrity in the culture wars. I have no idea whether the drug cocktail he has been hyping is or is not effective but after expressing his views on the matter, he allowed himself to become a poster child for the Trumpkopfs mindless war on the public health experts in and outside of government. He is clearly a smart guy, albeit politically naïve, and hopefully will find some way of contributing to the well bein of the tzibur in a different capacity.
Oy! What will be with all his patients.
Gadolhadorah proved I was right
You could be the smartest guy in the world but if you side with the “enemy” you’re naive and must be eliminated
“Mindless war on the public officials by the Trumpkofs”
It is so painful to hear your blind hatred of The President and his supporters. Especially connected to your login name.
He is not by FAR the only doctor who disagrees with the public officials such as Dr. Fauci who has strong ties to Gilead the company which wants to use it’s vaccine for the virus. That company donated $10,000,000 to Dr. Fauci’s organization and they stand to make a BILLION dollars if people use their vaccine, which was developed for another sickness and failed. Paying $13 per prescription instead of $1,000 is “mindless?” Recognizing that this drug, properly administered by a doctor is “mindless?” Recognizing the science behind the drug and the 2 sister drugs (also very inexpensive) which basically closes the receptors for the virus, which thereby give the virus no way to thrive off the human body, yhereby making the virus whither and die, is “mindless?” Finally, recognizing the Blind Hatred of the left wing, anti-Trump (and btw, anti-Torah) media is “mindless?”
No, self-designated “gadol HaTorah,” no, that is not mindless.
For those who are open minded to learn remember, never has there been settled science, except for money or honor. Doctors in the civil war confidently went from patient to patient, sticking their hands in the guts of one patient after another without washing yheir hands causing 100,000s of unnecessary deaths! The way doctors treated people with mental health issues even 40 years ago would today be considered cruel and unethical.
If you would like to hear an excellent interview, Look up Dr. Jeff Barke, M.D. of Orange County, CA. Or find the speech of Dr Ivette Luzano of Dallas, Texas and many more with 20, 30, and 40 years or more of experience with hydroxychloroquine and have prescribed it for their patients for this virus as well as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and have NO negative experience and positive results.
Edit:
…And have had [ONLY] positive results

Fakehadorah, as always you express your stupid idiocy. You never fail to embarrass yourself on this forum. May be ypu should ask Dr.Zelenko to renew your prescription for TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) treatment. For you stupid Democrats it does not matter if a drug can save numerous lives from Chinese Wuhan virus as long as it is not being endorsed by Pres. Trump.
“Hundreds of deaths were avoided because of Dr. Zelenko’s medical regimen for COVID.”
No evidence that that is true.
Dayeinu: He is not the only doctor in Monroe. He is very talented and I’m sure he will find a new venue for his medical practice, if that is what he plans to do. His actions these past few months suggests he may want to pursue a new path that may include speaking out on political issues or helping to shape policy.
charliehall,, as far as you are concerned if the story did not come from fake news CNN or MSNBC then there is no “evidence”
GodolHadorah should be banned from Yeshiva World a complete anti Torah person how can one listen to him?
For the people learning Daf Hayomi, we just had the Gemora yesterday about the dire consequences of listening and learning from a Gedufi shabbos 75a
After the inquisition, the Turkish government took advantage of the moment and attracted the Jews to its land saying: “the loss of Spain will be our gain.”
Dr. Zelenko, COME TO MONSEY, that will be our gain.
You will be welcomed with open arms 🙂
A Lubavitcher being harrased by the Satmars. Nothing new over here…..
“No reason for the release of this letter was ever given.”
Simply lies! How about you read the letter and then rant?

He specifically said it has nothing to do with the KJ community!!
