THE EVOLUTION OF A MURDEROUS FRAUD CALLED LIPA MARGULIES AND THE IMPACT HE HAS ON ALL OF JUDAISM

"As man is a social animal, it is almost certain that he would inherit a tendency to be faithful to his comrades and obedient to the leader of the tribe".

The Descent Of Man by Charles Darwin

How does a low-life become a head of a yeshiva? I asked this question over and over again to myself as I twist and turn trying to fall asleep.

This is what I came up with.

When we view history, especially recent history, I asked myself the same question regarding the onset of the PLO.

Who in the world would want a filthy dirty slob, bad to look at, disgusting to be near,an abomination of a human, a known murderer and thief, to be their leader? Could it be that the masses of the Palestinians were that dumb? Could it be that no matter how rotten a person is, he will find followers that will support him and his evil?

Could the world be that crazy by allowing "Chairman" Arafat the podium at the United Nations with a gun on his hip? Well, the Agudath Israel gave Margulies the podium at the siyum haShas armed with his black hat and gartel!

The parallels between Arafat and Margulies are startling. OK I know some are you are saying " this is the final straw, UOJ is an over the top certified lunatic".

Read on, listen carefully.

1-Who made Arafat "Chairman"- Who made Margulies "Rabbi"?

2-Who raised millions of dollars from all sorts of people only to enrich themselves as they robbed their supporters blind? Who had the SOLE authority to write himself millions of dollars of checks without asking anyone?

3-Who controlled/controls all of the assets of the organizations they led with other people's money? Who recently "SOLD" 55% of their house to the yeshiva and pocketed $1.9 MILLION DOLLARS?

4-Who killed off( emotional killing is murder) all their detractors and slandered those that would not support their evil ways?

5-Who has laundered all sorts of ILLEGAL money through their institutions?

6-Who has defied all logic and kept lying until their dying day?

7-Who unashamedly issued statements that were filthy lies without any hesitation?

8-Who began their institutions on a huge fraud; Palestinian people-Torah Vodaath Of Flatbush!

9-Who has led their groups into the abyss and convinced them that their cause is justifiable according to ancient texts?

10-Who is willing to destroy their peoples because of their illusions of grandeur?

you can afford a better mattress.

I do not know the rosh yeshiva personally so cannot comment on his alleged fraud. But, aside from Rav Aharon Kotler, has every Rosh Yeshiva since Slobodka been a monk? Where is the pledge of poverty?

It is not uncommon for executives of large institutions to receive housing benefits. In fact, it's a fairly common practice. You won't fargin him, that's for sure, but are you fair?

Is the huge moisad ytt is, a complete fraud? This requires a stretch of the imagination. We aren't talking about a phony orphanage, an empty building with pictures of pathetic children merely being used for fundraising.

Shielding YK he will answer for, but is your declaration of all out war on Torah Temimah pure, or pique?

Daddy would be proud.

Thanks to the Forward, here’s the text of the ad that ran in their paper last week.


To my holiest friends,

I want to say I understand I have made grave mistakes. I made choices that clearly hurt people I love. I am infinitely saddened and profoundly sorry for the pain I have caused.

I take full responsibility for all the pain I have inflicted. Clearly all of this and more indicates that in these regards I am sick. I need to acknowledge that sickness and to get help for it. That is what I am doing in this letter.

I want to state clearly and unequivocally that I now recognize that I am sick in these ways and I am committed with all of my energy to check myself into the appropriate programs that will get me healing on this. I have already turned to a leading figure to guide my treatment program and am entering treatment immediately. I want to enter into the most appropriate healing process with both myself and where appropriate with the others involved.

I promise you from the bottom of my heart and in the name of everything that is holy, I am taking this crisis with utmost seriousness. I am making healing the number one priority of my life. I must act now to discover what led to me to make these damaging choices that hurt people I care about, hurt my community, and hurt the people who have supported me for years in building Bayit Chadash.

In light of all that has happened I am leaving all of my rabbinic teaching capacities. I am looking now, together with a professional team, for treatment centers where I can go and learn about what led me here, where I can grieve for all the pain that I have caused, and where I can heal so that this never happens again.

I apologize with all of my heart and soul to everyone.

With love and pain beyond words,

MORDECHAI

Dear unknown UOJ,

Though some profess to know who u are, I don't nor do I care!

Please keep up your great work. I hope others will learn from this what Yudi & Margo refused to and our children will be in safer environments. I have 1 question. If Yudi & other molesters are driven out by force as they seem to have been, what do we gain in terms of restoring our faith in the system and in the toilet gedoilim who are cowards at best and accomplices at worst? Why should we believe now more than earlier that our way is the true derech as opposed to the modern orthodox way? They at least have confronted the beast after blundering with coverups and now don't tolerate the slightest hint of impropriety. God bless u rabbi Blau.

Please answer me!

You are on target. "Our way" is not in fact our way. Our way is to get the Rodeph away from the children in any way possible including going to the police and DA.

There is clear Halacha that obligates us to go to the authorities to rid our community of a child molester and anyone who stops a victim from doing so has blood on their hands.

This is our way.

I can see the analagy between Arafat/Margulis. Arafat spilled blood via suicide bombers and other terror tactics, while Lipa Margulis spilled just as much blood as Arafat did, for allowing Kolko to continually molest boys and not doing the proper and moral thing, of getting this predator as far away from children as possible!

Remember folks; don't let the hat, payos, or gartel fool you. You don't suddenly become immune from doing wrong, even if you happen to be of those above mentiond attributes!

I know the right way. I read the responsa of R. Wozner on the Tendler affairs and it applies to all molesters. My question still stands, however. Again, how can the confidence in an ultraorthodox way of life be restored? What can realisticly be done and what do u think will be the picture of this Brooklyn (BP, Willi & FB) community in the future? Living a life full of grief and distrust is killing me.

As for "dedicated talmud's" ranting a few posts up allow me to answer: Hey dedicated to Kolko, did u really expect yudi to molest all the thousands of boys he chanced upon over the years? He would of had to wear a Muslim pajama all day and been overdosing on Viagra to molest every single boy. Until u read up on the modes operandi of molesters and understand the molesters art of long term grooming shut up! And just in case u might be a true dedicated talmud OF THE TALMUD BAVLI and halacha please see a copy of the responsa from rabbi Ben Zion Wozner which u should be able to find on the Awareness Center's web site and on other sites of child advocacy against molestation. Finaly, u must of been living under a rock to ask why UOJ didn't try bringing Margo & Kolko Y"S to Beis Din AKA Beis Wimps/Pimps. Thanx UOJ, I owe u so much.

BY JAMES TARANTO

Finally!
Yasser Arafat is in stable condition after dying in a Paris hospital. A hospital spokesman "said there would be no details about the cause of death because of French privacy laws," reports the Associated Press--secrecy that is sure to fuel suspicions Arafat died of AIDS.

Most media organizations are enveloping Arafat's long-overdue death in a giant cloud of puffery. Typical is the Washington Post, which begins its obit:

For virtually his entire adult life, Yasser Arafat had one dream, and he pursued it with such energy and zeal--some would say fanaticism--that he came to personify the dream itself.

The dream was of self-determination and statehood for the Palestinian people, and in the end he did not live to see it.

Of course, "the Palestinian people" would have had a state in 1948 had the Arabs not immediately declared war on the nascent state of Israel.

France's President Jacques Chirac calls Arafat "a man of courage and conviction," while Nelson Mandela says, "Yasser Arafat was one of the outstanding freedom fighters of this generation."

Mandela won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.

Arafat was also implicated in the murder of Americans, as The Wall Street Journal's Robert Pollock reported in 2001:

In early 1973, Black September [a Palestinian terror group] took the American ambassador and his deputy (along with one Belgian diplomat) hostage in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and, after President Nixon refused to negotiate, murdered them. . . .

Persistent rumors that the U.S. and Israel possess tapes of Mr. Arafat directing the 1973 Khartoum murders (confirmed to me by Ariel Sharon late last year) have gained further credence with the recent allegations of James J. Welsh, a former Navy and National Security Agency intelligence analyst. He says the NSA sent out a warning of a possible PLO attack, based on shortwave intercepts, that was inexplicably downgraded by the State Department. After the murders, it was covered up. His story deserves congressional attention. After all, there is no statute of limitations on murder.

Jimmy Carter describes Arafat as "a powerful human symbol and forceful advocate" who "was instrumental in forging a peace agreement with Israel in 1993." Kofi Annan, secretary-general of the United Nations, says: "President Arafat will always be remembered for having . . . led the Palestinians to accept the principle of peaceful coexistence between Israel and a future Palestinian state. By signing the Oslo accords in 1993 he took a giant step towards the realization of this vision."

Carter won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Annan won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2001.

In the short run, Arafat's legacy is likely to be more of the same. The Islamist group Hamas says it plans to continue murdering Jews (though thanks to Israel's security fence, this is a lot harder than it used to be).

Dr Bulmash saved my life 20 years ago when I was sick. I met him yesterday and I can tell that this whole thing is causing him alot of pain. He is the most amazing person I have ever met and he is "anav mikol adam" I would like to request that we all put pressure to take his name off the blog or take it down completely. We can use blogs to accomplish alot but not to make the innocent suffer.

Here we have the classic Torah Temimah parent. So deep in denial they see the world through their Margulies colored glasses.

How can so many people on this board be so crazy--

Yidi "did so much good" etc- therefore what?!!?-

THE ANSWER:

THEY ARE 'BROOKLYN FRUM'- which by defintion means "FRUM CRAZY"

They are so crazy- they don't want your kids to smoke- since 'bad heath effects down the rode'

BUT when presented when evidence of your child being in the presence of a virus the likes of which are worse than EBOLA do they say- wait this is serious let's investigate? No. Why- because they are 'frum crazy'

Frum Crazy/ Brookltn Orthodoxy all the same--

Big speeches aginst TV (no violence in home) while screaming at the wife and kids--

They strees how much to 'love love love God oh so very much' then scream at their kids for nopt learning on shabbos afterrnooon after a whole wek of mishmor (way to go- now they will really LOVE GOD even more truly deeply).

They have the abnormal super human quickness to outfit the whole brooklyn with water filters for the devasting bug 'matziv'-- but no response to the Kolko masturbating the kids (oh I forgot-masterbating the kids is not darisa- while bugs are- silly me)

Basic human dignity displayed to kids- NO (haven't you heard of kibud av) [[NOTE- kibud av does not apply to Crazy or Abusive Parents -whatsoever! (let al the crazies slam me 'rayies faregt'--- they are all wrong)]].

The frum today are SO CRAZY- really really CRAZY- they are not FRUM since they do not practice judaism- In short--

THE CRAZY FRUM HIJACKED JUDASIM AND SUIBSTITUTED IT WITH A NON-TORAH M"SINAI CRAZY TYPE OF IDOL WORSHIP--NO BETTER THAN SERVING JESUS OR MOHAMMED.

Schienberg- buddah worshipper
Belsky- loves jesus

etc. etc.

Let such a 'judaism' be destroyed bemhaira vyminu amen.

I am sick and tired of hearing as supposedly a defense of Kolko, etc. or better, as a PROOF that Kolko didn't sexually abuse anyone, that "How can we believe Kolker’s story when there are throngs of happy boys who have passed through Rebbe Kolko’s class to build beautiful families like my own husband has?"

I am a criminal defense attorney. I defend people accused of multiple murders. Could you imagine the waves of laughter from a jury, judge and other personnel in court if I said, in my client's defense, "How can you believe that my client killed those three people on a Wednesday when I can bring into this courtroom thousands of people he knows and saw that day WHOM HE DID NOT KILL?"

Anyone who makes the above argument should really check his 'yichus' and find out if he (or she) is truly Jewish. Because if he (or she) is, I would conclude we're not as smart a people as others make us out to be, if we make such a nonsensical argument...

Let's say Mrs. bright one you child G-d forbid gets molested, and you being such a frum woman your child won't talk to you about it. So your child goes over to someone she feels close to and tells them. Is it none of their business? As Jews we must watch out for each other, and today when so many parents stick their head into the sand it is incumbent on each and every one of us to root out all evil. Margolis was begged very privately to fire Kolko and not let this escalate. He refused and this is the result. Yes it is a terrible Chillul Hashem, but look at who caused it. Not the Blogger, but rather the people who have covered this for 35 years.

For a long time I have had a theory, that our brand of Judaism
is a result of the attrition of the best and the brightest from our ranks. The intelligent and curious have left the fold. Especially in the past century, as doors have opened, Jews have gone out and excelled in so many fields. The superstitious and the close minded have stayed and transformed our religion into a backwater of segulas and darkness. I am not indicting the religion or all frum Jews but Jews from a certain region of Europe [Hungary] have hijacked the frum community. It is a reign of terror. In Europe the frum community was hardly monolithic, now we have been Wal-Martized. G-d forbid,one should deviate from community norms, then society will take its pound of flesh. I really don't see a way out of this.

FOR ANYONE WHO IS BLOGGING LASHON HARA OR MOTZI SHEM RA ON THIS BLOG, PLEASE READ:

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE CHOFETZ CHAIM (SEE THE FIRST SHAAR, THE MIDDLE OF THE THIRD PEREK OF SHMIRAS HALASHON QUOTING FROM THE CHOVOS HALVAVOS AND OTHERS) PASKENS L’HALACHA THAT SPEAKING LASHON HARA CAUSES A VERY INTERESTING REDISTRIBUTION OF MITZVOS AND AVAIROS:

THE SPEAKER OF LASHON HARA LOSES MITZVOS.
THE SPEAKER OF LASHON HARA GETS THE AVAIROS OF THE VICTIM OF HIS LASHON HARA.
THE VICTIM OF LASHON HARA GETS THE MITZVOS OF THOSE WHO SPOKE BADLY ABOUT HIM.
THE VICTIM OF LASHON HARA LOSES AVAIROS.

ALL YOUR TALK ABOUT RABBI KOLKO, EVEN IF TRUE, IS GIVING HIM A KAPARA (HUMILIATION IS TRADITIONALLY VIEWED AS THE BIGGEST FORM OF KAPARA) AND IS CAUSING YOU TO LOSE YOUR MITZVOS AND GET HIS AVAIROS. IN OTHER WORDS, AFTER 120, THE LASHON HARA SPEAKERS WILL BE JUDGED TO BE THE CHILD ABUSERS, AND RABBI KOLKO WILL HAVE A KAPARA AND WILL INHERIT YOUR MITZVOS. I DON’T THINK THAT THIS IS THE RESULT YOU ARE ULTIMATELY HOPING FOR.

YES, YOU CAN TALK LASHON HARA L’TOELES. BUT THERE ARE CONDITIONS: IT CAN NOT BE SENSATIONALIZED, AND IN FACT IT SHOULD BE SAID IN THE BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT.

I know the right way. I read the responsa of R. Wozner on the Tendler affairs and it applies to all molesters. My question still stands, however. Again, how can the confidence in an ultraorthodox way of life be restored? What can realisticly be done and what do u think will be the picture of this Brooklyn (BP, Willi & FB) community in the future? Living a life full of grief and distrust is killing me.

As for "dedicated talmud's" ranting a few posts up allow me to answer: Hey dedicated to Kolko, did u really expect yudi to molest all the thousands of boys he chanced upon over the years? He would of had to wear a Muslim pajama all day and been overdosing on Viagra to molest every single boy. Until u read up on the modes operandi of molesters and understand the molesters art of long term grooming shut up! And just in case u might be a true dedicated talmud OF THE TALMUD BAVLI and halacha please see a copy of the responsa from rabbi Ben Zion Wozner which u should be able to find on the Awareness Center's web site and on other sites of child advocacy against molestation. Finaly, u must of been living under a rock to ask why UOJ didn't try bringing Margo & Kolko Y"S to Beis Din AKA Beis Wimps/Pimps. Thanx UOJ, I owe u so much.

So again, the good of saving kids from a babyraper is equivilent to the bad of

So crazy..just very very very crazy

FRUM = CRAZY

Flatbush Judaism = Being muslim is more wrothwhile.

MILLIONS of people around the world who get entertainment from this blog
I can't see how this blog is really entertaing for anyone. I read it becasue I care about victims who have been living hell and about out inability to deal with this properly in the past. I am always left feeling sick and angry but maybe it will lead to some action. As for anyone who is entertained by this including some commentors who seem to relish in sticking it to whoever is on their personal blacklist, they are dispicable. But for anyone who is a victim or genuinely enraged about the suffering of victims, I think there may be a place for their venting. We would all be better off if we moved to action , aside from UOJ's lawsuits. Maybe that's the way to start, though.

UOJ is the epitome of what chazal call, “Toivel vesheretz b'yodo”. You can scream and cry how pure and holy you are due to all your hard work uncovering an alleged molester, but that doesn’t negate the big black “sheretz” in your hand and that is the ridiculing and mockery made of talmidei chachomim and askonim that devote themselves to the Klal and to Torah, and no matter how great your accomplishments are (and I admit if the allegations are true, they’re truly great accomplishments) you will serve your time in hell for the bizoyon hatorah you caused.
And if anybody (including orthorev) can’t deal with such a god, they need to find themselves a new religion, because starting from Adam till this very day god judges us “K’chut hasarah” and just as we find in the torah punishments to the holiest of holiest for seemingly trivial things (for lack of a better description) us lowly people (yes, even you) most definitely have a lot to fear.

Another Crazy- so so very very super crazy--

Out of all the millions of millions of jewish 'quotes' you could of slapped down on your pathetic post-- you pick the one....(drum roll please)--- that makes God into a sick monster!! Of course! God the monster- who everyday expands hell so he can get more enjoyment by turning up the heat on more and more jews. (you are so crazy).

Listen- you dumb piece of crazy- yes your entire being is 'crazy'- you one one big 'crazy'--

Here goes:

WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR-

I know this will ruin your entire concept of judaism (fake judaism) because now you have the entire reason for all of your actions (i.e. fear) ripped out from under you- so now your entire being is destroyed (so very crazy).

If you are doing any 'jewish' actions out of this fear of hell-- STOP IMMEDIATLEY- SEEK PSYCHAITRIC HELP and DO NOT DO THEM!!!.

You are too crazy right now too understand the logic and torah sources behind this..but when you are ready visit Dr. Ben Sortkins website (can be linked through my site).

Final thought: Do you really think God wants you to daven/learn/do anything out of fear- (does he get off on S&M??). I think that you do- and therefore you:

a. do not practice judaism (maybe start buying hallal)
b. are not frum and
c. need help

I'm getting weary from all of the tochacha, at best, and sina, at worst, directed towards UOJ.

Its enough. He's a frum yid, a musmach, and most important of all, a mature adult. He has demonstrated over and over again he knows what he's doing. He is machmir, so to speak, on the mitzvos of saving Jewish lives, which is encompassed in at least one negative and one positive commandment, Lo sa'amod al dam ra'echa, Do not stand upon the blood of your brother; and V'ahavta l'ra'echa kamocha, Love your brother as yourself. The whole Torah gets set aside for saving one Jewish life, except for the three major sins of arayos, incest, avodah zara, idolatry, and r'tsicha, homicide. None of these apply here. Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that UOJ has utilized, or facilitates, nivel peh, or lashon hara, these "violations" are for the sake of stirring the masses to save Jewish life. A rodef din has been exposed, and removed from the classroom.

Let the would-be baalei mussar direct their emotions towards those responsible for enabling a pedophile to work around children for more than 30 years.

Reading Is Believing

The age-old cliché “seeing is believing” should be altered to “reading is believing.” In this media-frenzied age that we live in, we have grown accustomed to taking everything that we read—regardless of its source—and accepting it as biblical truth.

We need neither a judge nor a jury; and surely not a beis din, or even two eidim (witnesses) to determine what’s true and what’s fabricated: If it’s printed, then it must be true. It goes without saying that this applies, of course, to the New York Times—the mother of all publications—but it also applies to anything that is printed, even the most sensational and controversial publications that are available to the media-hungry public.

This is not a new phenomenon, for the Chofetz Chaim, zt’l, in his sefer painstakingly and carefully warns us in at least three different places to be aware of the danger of being mekabel lashon hara from the written word, which is no less of an aveirah than hearing or speaking it directly.

Yet, events over the last weeks and months have placed members of the community of K’nesses Yisrael into the eyes and mouths of the secular media, who don’t just report the news, but serve as judge and jury and, at times, even as executioners, with misspoken (or actually, miswritten) innuendos and accusations. Whether it be in business matters or in personal matters, it is we who are the recipients of that transmitted lashon hara when we read it and accept it as truth and as real as the Thirteen Ikarim of the Rambam. We have to take a moment to reflect not only on the pain and hurt of the people involved—and of their loved ones—but the damage and harm that is brought upon our community as a result.

Not by chance, Rav Chaim Voloshin, zt’l, teaches us, did the Torah in Parashas Kedoshim (Vayikra 19:16) put the sin of “Lo seileich rachil be‘amecha” (the prohibition of lashon hara) in the very same pasuk as “Lo sa‘amod al dam rei‘echa” (“Do not stand by idly as your brother’s blood is being spilled”). For participation in the peddling of rechilus—whether by speaking or by listening or reading and then believing in that unsubstantiated tale—is akin to the witnessing of your brother’s blood being spilled and doing nothing about it.

The Chofetz Chaim, in his introduction to Sefer Shemiras HaLashon, writes in the name of Chazal that B’nei Yisrael were destined to go into four galuyos (exiles) until our final redemption; and this current one, the longest and most painful of all, is the fourth galus. The reason for this is that the first three are required to be mechappeir (atone) for the three capital sins that K’lal Yisrael committed: adultery, murder, and idol worship. The fourth, and the most difficult of all, is to be mechappeir for the sin of lashon hara.

We need to do some introspection. Why are we always ready to believe the worst about someone—maybe even a neighbor or friend—just because we read about it in the secular press? We all know full well how a story about an Orthodox Jew, whether business or personal, always makes for a great story, and it sure sells papers. The umos ha‘olam (nations of the world) love a great story about Orthodox Yidden—the more sensational, the better.
But we need to ask ourselves why we get such enjoyment out of it. As the late rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas, HaRav Avrohom Pam, zt’l, once decried in a public address, we Yidden have to think of the spouses and children of those involved in the story lines and shed tears for them.

I remember a personal situation where I had learned firsthand of the sheker of the media, especially when it comes to writing a story about a frum Jew. A number of years ago, a popular sensationalist magazine was doing a story on a Yid, who unfortunately made some poor choices in life and was made to pay for those indiscretions. The magazine was going to obviously do everything it could to destroy the person as well as the community associated with that person. As an acquaintance of that person, and being well aware of the good that this person had accomplished over the years, I was asked to meet with the team of reporters doing the story and at least try to protect the integrity of the family and community.

I faced a dilemma. I felt it would be an opportunity to be mekayeim the mitzvah of Lo sa‘amod al dam rei‘echa, yet I was fearful of having my words distorted by the secular media. I consulted with my rebbi, the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim, HaRav HaGaon Rav Henoch Leibowitz, shlita, who strongly advised me to avoid them at all costs, because they are kulo sheker (completely of falsehood) and nothing positive would come out of it.

I subsequently declined to be interviewed. Several days later, the subject of the story called and personally appealed to me to please reconsider, because the article will be written without any positive statements being made, and for the sake of the family would I reconsider? I was truly torn as to what to do, so I turned once again to consult with the rosh yeshiva. When I called, the rebbetzin (Pesia Leibowitz, a’h) picked up the phone and I shared my dilemma with her. Being the wise woman that she was, she had a great suggestion. She said, “Tell them you will not be interviewed, but they should fax you a list of questions, and if reasonable, you will respond to their questions in writing, as well.” I followed her suggestion.

It was at that moment that I fully understood the rosh yeshiva’s description of them as kulo sheker. Not one of the 12 questions submitted for me to answer had to do with the fine reputation and past charitable activities of that person. All they wanted to know was if I could reveal to them a list of other possible accusations, and whether other people in the community were involved…!

In essence, what they wanted from me was to help them in their goal of destroying an individual and a family and, if they would be lucky enough, to bring down an entire community along, as well. And not just any community, but a community of Torah-observant and Orthodox Jews. Needless to say, I didn’t respond to any of their questions. However, what I did do was to fax to the editor of that publication, in English and in Hebrew, the pasuk in the Torah that states “Mid’var sheker tirchak.”

We are all guilty, on some level, of accepting these truths to be factual, despite the Torah’s explicitly defining for us a halachic process of eidim, of a beis din, and what the Chofetz Chaim defines as a davar mefursam (a publicly acknowledged fact). The extent of how far the influence of the “written word” of the press goes came to life for me as well a few weeks ago, when the press was filled with accusations and innuendos about several prominent ba‘alei tzedakah in the Orthodox community who were tried and convicted for illegal activity, in a case which not only was brought with no proof, but caused them a tremendous financial loss. Yet I received a call from the head of a chesed organization that has been the beneficiary of the kind and generous heart and hand of one of those involved, and he actually asked me incredulously, “Is it true?”

I responded, “You more than anyone have been the beneficiary of such chesed and such ahavas Yisrael from one of the individuals; how could you even think, let alone verbalize, even the possibility of wrongdoing, just because you read it in the press, which when it comes to frum Jews is kulo sheker?”

After a moment or two of silence, he responded in a heartfelt expression and said, more to himself than to me, “How could I be so foolish?” Maybe that’s a question we should all be asking ourselves.

Ginsburg's first letter was right on target. An absolute and clear statement that child molestation is prohibited (and even if some say "duh!" they are being dishonest with themselves as many continue to believe that Sheinberg hold this no penetration thing to be true).

Ginsburg's second article only serves to show that his first letter may not have been well-intentioned. The article - taken alone - is fine. But knowing that the world knows he has already commented on the magazine artlice, how can he not have the decency to acknowledge that certain circumstances exist in which making accusations is not considered loshon harah? I was a big fan after the original letter but I'm sad to say that this article is a slap in the face to every victim of abuse out there. It would have been so easy for him to add one or two sentences about "mitzvah l'farseim" if you have real knowledge about sexual abuse. Does anyone out there have any idea why he would suddenly totally turn his back on this scandal after commenting on it only a week before? It's almost as if he's a different person.

This is fascinating. UOJ has forced organized orthodoxy to show its hand, and organized orthodoxy has shown that it sides with the predators.

If UOJ's quiver is full of more than just hot air it will be interesting to see just how far down a dead end road organized orthodoxy will ride a dying horse.

BTW, UOJ, I can see why the Yated/HaModia/Jewish Observer crowd is spiking the Kolko lawsuit story, but a search of the JTA site doesn't get any hits on "Kolko" either. JewishWeek may have picked up the story because it's a local NYC story, but if you want more than just frum Jews to know about this, you're going to have to pitch the story to JTA, which is where most of the Jewish weeklies in North America get their national and international stories.

If folks are concerned, you can send an email to JTA urging them to cover the Kolko/YTT scandal and coverup.

The major obstacle is that the "system" wont recognize that it is seriously ill.

Maybe a few large yeshivas will have to close down before they get it. One thing you can wager on, I am not going away until the system gets fixed.

More yeshivas go down, more rabbis go down, so be it. I'm dead serious. I'm in contact with a network of media people...they're begging me for any story.

I have a full team in place ready to act on anything I tell them to.

Colin Cowherd of ESPN has more seichel than you. On one of his shows he said that a person could live a totally ethical life and then one day commits a crime. The crime is what defines the person.

Sounds extreme? It's true he wrote that, and I'll have the whole halacha researched and translated in a few days (hope to work on it over Shavuous)Oh Oh1 Did I just speak loshen horah on the rambam. In any case your distortion of halacha puts u in company with all the other toilet gedolim. Congrats!

I know the right way. I read the responsa of R. Wozner on the Tendler affairs and it applies to all molesters. My question still stands, however. Again, how can the confidence in an ultraorthodox way of life be restored? What can realisticly be done and what do u think will be the picture of this Brooklyn (BP, Willi & FB) community in the future? Living a life full of grief and distrust is killing me.

As for "dedicated talmud's" ranting a few posts up allow me to answer: Hey dedicated to Kolko, did u really expect yudi to molest all the thousands of boys he chanced upon over the years? He would of had to wear a Muslim pajama all day and been overdosing on Viagra to molest every single boy. Until u read up on the modes operandi of molesters and understand the molesters art of long term grooming shut up! And just in case u might be a true dedicated talmud OF THE TALMUD BAVLI and halacha please see a copy of the responsa from rabbi Ben Zion Wozner which u should be able to find on the Awareness Center's web site and on other sites of child advocacy against molestation. Finaly, u must of been living under a rock to ask why UOJ didn't try bringing Margo & Kolko Y"S to Beis Din AKA Beis Wimps/Pimps. Thanx UOJ, I owe u so much.
===============================
If this is indeed what rav vozner hold that why do we not see him come out with a letter like he did about tendler and about the slifkin affair.
Wosner does not seem to be embarresed to write a letter.
Is there a reason why he is NOT writing one??

Ok monsey-ite I hope u find this response:

1. If u truly cared to derive the halacha perspective why don't u scoot over to Emes Lane (how appropriate a name for his street)and ask rabbi wozner himself?

2. If u read his responsa (my bet is u didn't bother)u would see he states that it was a local issue (monsey-NH)and as a member of the Monsey rabbinical community it was his duty to represent the views of the 6 major rabbis (and Torah mind u) he was asked to write this for.

anyone here get abused / beaten or molested in yeshiva bais dovid in monsey n.y?

exposemolesters said...

It is with great pain that we were left with no choice but to alert the public in these forums, of the physical and sexual abuse that were inflicted on my brother and other victims over 15 years ago. I know that it is a shock for some to believe or come to grips with the reality that some of our own "Rabonim" could commit such henious and reprehensible crimes against children.

Yet, as it stands now, we know that a "Rebbe" Such as Yudi Kolko did exist. We know that Yudi Kolko is a sick child molester who did much of his dirty work while employed as a "Rebbe" at Yeshiva Torah Temima in Brooklyn. We also know that as of this writing, another child molester is hunting his victims at Yeshiva Of Brooklyn (it could EVEN BE YOUR CHILD that he is molesting as his latest victim).

(Rabbi) Yehuda Nussbaum/(Rabbi) Yaakov Mandel sex/scandal is something perhaps not as well known yet as the other child abuse cases. There has not been much light shed upon this sex scandal of the 80's and 90's, and it was tried to be put to rest by (Rabbi) Yaakov Mandel who at the time still was Principal of the elementry boys school. 'R" Mandel threatened my father he "would turn his name into mud" if he tried to press Yeshiva Of Brooklyn about my brother and others in his class who were being sexualy molested and physically abused with a thick wooden ruler by "Rabbi" Yehuda Nussbaum . There was not one iota of even an attempt by "R" Mandel to look into the sexual allegations of "R" Yehuda Nussbaum, the 5th grade Rebbe at the time (where he served for many years) and now is still employed as a "rebbe" in Yeshiva Of Brooklyn. Ironically, two of my brother's classmates, had parents who were Rebbe's at Yehivah Of Brooklyn at the time of the abuse. Two of the victims are now in process with attorney's in pressing forward and exposing this sick Child Molester "Rabbi" Yehuda Nussbaum AKA (Shatnez Checker) and his boss "Rabbi" Yaakov Mandel for not firing him.

I Understand that there may be those who may be reluctant to believe or accept these allegations, yet my motive in exposing this is to make sure that Child Molester's such as Kolko and Nussbaum and their respective bosses of Margulis/Mandel, don't ever get a chance to KILL even ONE child again. Yes, sexually molesting boys is KILLING THEM. If a Rabbi were to take a loaded gun and pull the trigger on one of his students, that is what the marriage of Lipa Margulis/Yudi Kolko and the marriage of Yaakov Mandel/Yehuda Nussbaum, did to all these victims.

My dear father A'H, was a very respected Rabbi, he was known and admired by many. My dear father A'H, spoke to other parents in my brother's 5th Grade class at the time, and confirmed with at least three of them that their son's had also complained to them about being sexually abused by (Rabbi) Yehuda Nussbaum. Later though, after being spoken to and threatened by "Rabbi" Mandel, they refused to press the issue anymore, and were unwilling to go along with my father's insistence in removing this pedophile from Yeshiva Of Brooklyn and away from kids. Eventually my dear father A'H, got all of us out of Yeshiva of Brooklyn, including the girls. He knew he cannot keep any of us in such a currupt envionment.

I miss my father terribly, but up in Gan Eden, he must be smiling that finally we are addressing the horrible truth that some of our Yeshiva's are guilty of which is, sheltering and abaiding Child Molesters who pose as "Rabbi's". This is a mission i will not drop. My mission is clear: SAVE CHILDREN"S LIVES (Maybe even your kid's life).

The Torah Tells us: One who saves one life, it is considered as if he has saved the world!

There will be more posts and updates on this issue and the pending lawsuit against Yeshiva Of Brooklyn and those responsible for the sexual and physical abuse the victims horrificly endured. There is much more to write and I will continue to do so G-D willing.

To so-called Rabbis Lipa Margulies, Nosson Scherman, Eli Teitelbaum, Simcha Kaufman, and all others who have been involved in this decades long coverup regarding the accusations of illicit acts supposedly committed by Rabbi Yudi Kolko on numerous young victims over a period of almost 40 years.

It is time to stop hiding behind a wall of silence and begin answering some tough questions:

1. When was it first brought to you attention any allegations of Yudi Kolko's improper behavior toward young boys in Yeshiva and or camp?

2. How many boys/victims either directly or indirectly informed you over the years regarding Yudi Kolko's supposed improper behavior?

3. What did you do with such information?

4. Didn't you find a need, with such information, to request that Yudi Kolko be distanced away from young boys?

5. How did you allow it that Yudi Kolko be permitted to continue to teach and tutor young boys whether in Yeshiva, or in camp, or in his home, or drive young boys in his car, when you had information that he was supposedly molesting young boys?

6. Why did you not bring the matter up with the senior management and board of your Yeshiva and or camps, and if you did, with whom did you discuss such?

7. Why was this issue not presented to the relevant civil authorities for investigation?

8. Why over all these years have you not contacted the Police, or the DA's office, with the information that you have all known and upposedly hushed-up for so many decades?

9. Please inform us as to whom in fact you told regarding these accusations and what was done as a result.

10. Did anyone of you do anything to assist or help any of the victims?

11. How long have you been involved in or actually participated in this cover-up?

12. Did you know of the setting of a beis din some 20 years ago that was to look into these allegations?

13. What were you told was the outcome of the first and second beis din?

14. Did any of you discuss these allegations with one another, or anyone else?

15. What right do you have to call yourselves Rabbis and mechanchim when you knowingly allowed Yudi Kolko, an accused pedophile, to be near boys, and to destroy the lives of so many? You all had a legal and moral obligation to protect all of the boys that were in your Yeshiva's and camps - so where were you?

How many boys and young men did you allow and permit to be destroyed and murdered over these several decades?

There is a saying - "Me shematzeel nefesh achas b'Yisrael etc." - well it also works the other way - Me shehoreg nefesh achas b'Yisrael, etc!

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Whilst you all have tried to be good educators, you failed miserably at protecting the safety and well-being of some of your talmidim.

For this you are all negligent and each of you must pay the price.
By either not doing anything, or by actually being involved in this on-going cover-up, you helped and assisted to destroy untold Jewish lives.

You should all look at yourselves in the mirror and thereafter ask selicha and mechiela for what you all did - for you are guilty.

Zman masan Toraseinu - you've all taken what is so holy and precious - and totally destroyed it.

Anonymous (naturally!),

I just went to your link and I can't figure out, lulei demistafina, what the devil you're talking about. Rabbi Ginzberg's article simply points out a basic truth--that you can't believe what you read in the papers. That should be pretty obvious to anyone who follows Israel in the media.

Orthomom is right in that we all have to send some sort of complaint to New York magazine so that they understand that Orthodox Judaism does not support that which they purport it to support.
______________________________

Are you suggesting that anything written in a newspaper is untrue? I assume that you are merely objecting to BLIND FAITH and the practice of accepting anything you hear, e.g. if a rabbi told you that you had not been molested, when in fact you knew you had been, you would of course not accept his word over your first hand knowledge.

Or, would you? What if it were also written in a magazine article? Would that make your first hand knowledge invalid since you believe anything written in a paper can't be believed?

The NY Magazine article was all factual. The reporter interviewed many people and fact checkers verified the veracity of the information.

Rabbi Ginzberg's transparently insidious attempt to undermine the facts behind Pinchus Scheinberg's deplorable conduct in 1985 speaks volumes as to his mindset. Protect Scheinberg and to hell with judaism.

Hey OrthoRev,

It is quite sad for you to be injecting your hateful and bitter agenda on this blog where important issues are being broght to light.

Specifically, your pathetic attempt to piggy back on the popularity of this blog by linking to your sorry website is quite unfortunate.

You have no stake in this game other than your incredible bitterness and rage against anything Jewish, which has now been energized with your ability to spew your bile on this blog.

We all know who you are; a divorced father of adorable children and a wife whom you abandoned in Passaic, New Jersey.

Your questions, insecurities, guilt, and anger weren't enough to keep inside where they have festered for so long.

You had to try and reach out to friends and aquaintances with your heretical ideas, insights, and mindless bile...all conveniently cloaked in your "desire for intellectual honesty".

This effort resulted in your being shunned and ostracized by even those people who considered you a friend.

All this while, you have never been honest with youself. You are not "Anti- Brooklyn/Passaic/Lakewood version of Judaisim. Indeed, you are "Anti-Jewish", period, in all of its forms and manifestations.

For the sake of your wife, children, and all of us who know who you are and recognize your agenda, don't continue to bring more shame upon yourself and your family.

You are a really good person inside with so much to share, please do some soul searching and realize that this effort will not help your "cause".

Wishing you only the best and true redemption of your inner self.

I remain,

Your FRIEND

hello everyone!
we had the second survivor/rabbi meeting last night. it was attended by 6 survivors and 5 rabbis. R' Hauer, R' Gottlieb, R' Lerner, R' Dinowitz and R' Silber. i know that a lot of you could not make it due to the timing. for next meeting we will definitely choose a better time. it was a very positive meeting and i feel like we have a solid core of rabbis who are willing to stand up, take action and make a difference. R' Dinowitz said again that a perpetrator has a Din of a Rodef (halachik status of a murderer) and we must bring these matters to the attention of the authorities, i.e. Police, F.B.I., etc. They all were in agreement with him. R' Hauer mentioned that our priorty as a community aught to be to have a system in place to deal with the cases that are going on right now. not to ignore the past, we must try to undue the wrongs of the past. but we need to start with the present. i agree with that.
i think our next step is with the rabbis. a call to action, a public forum, something. we are all open to ideas and suggestions. lets keep in mind that our goal is to create a POSITVE AWARENESS that will be heard by the community.
i am gathering a group of clinicians to educate the rabbis from their side. i will let you know when that happens.
please get back to me with your comments, suggestions and most importantly how you are willing to help!
once again, i am blessed to have shared another incredibly courageous experience with my fellow survivors. thatnk you all for being there. and thank you to the rabbis who are stepping up to the plate with the absolutely toughest challenge we could choose in a community. i would not want to be in your shoes!
God Bless and God Speed to all.

No Redress For Abuse Victim


While you say in your May 26 editorial "Allegations Against a Rabbi" that your position "should in no way imply support for the accused," you seem to strongly disagree with the bringing of the lawsuit and having the plaintiff "publicly accuse another," preferring instead to "have our rabbinic leaders come up with a process that can appropriately deal with these very serious challenges to our community" – with "a course of action compatible with Torah standards."

If you read the article that you refer to in New York magazine carefully, you will note that the victim sought relief from the community some twenty years ago but that the accused rabbi’s employer, "a pillar of the … community, took extraordinary measures to derail a rabbinical court action, or beit din."

It seems it was decided that the appropriate way to deal with the rabbi was to let him continue having his fun with young boys.

At least the Catholic Church transfers offenders to another area.

Kudos, Gerald Deutsch, for your letter to the "jewish press". It's a darn shame that they continue to defend Kolko/Margulis. They have an obligation to report the truth, and yet continue to stray far from it by un-informing and mis-informing the public. JP has a unique ability and an obligation to inform the public, especially when its concerning the saftey of our kids, yet they have unforgivenably strayed afar from this obligaton. Shame on you "Jewish Press"!

UOJ,

I realize that your blog has created a sort-of "political correctness" litmus test of one's priorities. Bascially anyone who expresses negativity about anything other than the abuse issue, is immediatelky branded a UOJ "heretic", a crazy, and just another part of the problem.

Having acknowledged this, let me ask, am I the only one who is upset by the racial nature of the anti-hungarian/anti-semitism being expressed in many posts. Aside from the fact that some of the stuff being said woud make Goebbels proud, people need to realize that the reason the the Hungarian brand of orthodoxy is dominant in New York is a simple mater of demographics. The Lithuanian/Russian/Polish Jewish populations were much more fully and efficiently exterminated by the Nazis YM"S by the time the allies arrived in mid-1945.

UOJ, Whatever editorial standards you are applying to your posts (and I have to say they're not readily apparent) I would hope you might consider excluding some of the more genocidally offensive ones.

Canadian Jewish News

Danger lurks at the supermarket
--------------------------------

The May 17 edition of the Community Link, a Jewish equivalent to the clump of advertisements and coupons that arrive with your weekly community newspaper, was pretty much true to form. There were ads for such things as kosher pizza parlours, maternity wear, quality linens and real estate agents just what you would expect from such an advertisement-geared publication.

But on page 69, there was something different: a message from an organization called F.A.I.M.A.

F.A.I.M.A stands for Families Against Immodest Advertising, a recently founded Ortho-watch group. It took out a full-page ad in Community Link to advise the Jewish community about the latest step in an ongoing plan to ghettoize the Orthodox or, as F.A.I.M.A would say, shelter the community from the dangers and filth of the non-Jewish world.

Much effort is being invested on behalf of our community in order to maintain our sensitivities and protect our children from offensive advertising displays,� the confusingly vague message began. Thus, when visiting certain stores, members of our community are being urged to shop at designated aisles only. By doing so, they will be displaying their commitment to the values we hold so dear.

The message went on to specify that certain checkout lanes at your local Dominion and Fortinos supermarkets have been deemed family friendly (for those keeping score, aisles 1-6 at the former and 7-14 at the latter). The notice then ended with this: �Our Rabbanim have advised that one is required to use one of the above aisles.�

This latest attempt at religious manipulation raises a few questions that other, more blatant attempts by rabbinic authorities and kashrut boards have at least been up front about. Who is this F.A.I.M.A? Who are these rabbanim? What do they consider our community?

The vagueness of F.A.I.M.A�s message makes it difficult to decode, but here's the basic idea: the covers of magazines that we all eye while waiting on line at the grocery store, Cosmo, TV Guide, People and Seventeen � are polluting our religious minds and exposing Orthodox youth to things they shouldn't be seeing. Sex, women and television, that unholy trinity are plastered all over these publications, and there�s no way to avoid seeing them when waiting in line. This is, according to F.A.I.M.A, what we need to avoid � for our sake and the sake of our children.

Of course, on the surface, this looks like a straightforward, run-of-the-mill attempt to shelter religious people from the rest of the world. There have been a lot of these lately, ranging from decrees on how late popular restaurants can remain open on weekends to bans on an ever-growing list of fruits and vegetables amid advances in microscopic testing. It seems that just about every other week, something new is disallowed or deemed unkosher.

But while previous plots to self-ostrasize the Orthodox community have always come from official organizations, this is a faceless attempt at religious exploitation by a mysterious group trying to solve a problem we never knew we had, with the support of rabbis they are unwilling to name. It makes perfect sense, then, that the F.A.I.M.A notice contains no number or address where readers can potentially reach the group for questions or comments. The intent is clear: no questions, no discussion. Just do as you're told.

F.A.I.M.A's message is a bold manoeuvre and a dangerous precedent that must not be permitted to take root. The stakes involved with religious edicts get much higher when every zealot out there thinks they've got the right to tell the rest of us what to do. Until this group steps forward to reveal who they are and what authority they possess, everyone should disregard page 69 of the Community Link. Once we know who or what F.A.I.M.A is, we can all decide how to respond to its message.

Certain professionals are required by law to report suspected child abuse or maltreatment to the New York State Central Register (SCR) of Child Abuse and Maltreatment. The law also assigns civil and criminal liability to those professionals who do not comply with their mandated reporter responsibilities.

New York State recognizes certain professionals to be specially equipped to hold the important role of mandated reporter of child abuse or maltreatment. Those professionals are:

School official

As soon as you suspect abuse or maltreatment, you must report your concerns by telephone to the SCR. The SCR is open 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, to receive your call. The timeliness of your call is vital to the timeliness of intervention by local Child Protective Services (CPS). You are not required to notify the parents or other persons legally responsible either before or after your call to the SCR. In fact, in some cases, alerting the parent may hinder the local Child Protective Services investigation and adversely affect its ability to assess the safety of the children. The telephone numbers are:

Mandated Reporter (800) 635-1522

Public Hotline (800) 342-3720

If a call to the SCR provides information about an immediate threat to a child or a crime committed against a child, but the perpetrator is not a parent or other person legally responsible for the child, the SCR staff will make a Law Enforcement Referral (LER). The relevant information will be recorded and transmitted to the New York State Police Information Network or to the New York City Special Victims Liaison Unit for action.

If You Seal It Off, They Will Evolve

By Lipa Margulies

Here's a pretty cool example of how isolated environments lead to the evolution of new sick species. The more isolated, the more unique:

Prehistoric ecosystem found on Ocean Parkway.

Brooklyn scientists said on Wednesday they had discovered a prehistoric ecosystem dating back millions of years.

The discovery was made in a yeshiva during a meeting of Torah Temimah parents. Scientists were called in and soon found eight previously unknown species of people without souls, hearts and brains, similar to scorpions.

"Until now eight species of animals were found in the yeshiva, all of them unknown to science," said Dr Hanan Dementia, a biologist at the Flatbush University of Ocean Parkway [...]

The cave (yeshiva) was completely sealed off from the world, including from any form of intelligence seeping through by newspapers, the Internet or anything that requires intelligence.

Scientists who discovered the cave/yeshiva believe it has been intact since the government started giving money to yeshivas.

"Every species we examined had no eyes, brains, or the ability to reason which means they lost their ability to think due to the evolution of gedolim," said Dementia.

The cave is an "island" of sorts, and like islands out in the ocean, it has unique species that can be found nowhere else but by the charedi Jews.

Isolated populations that have their gene pools cut-off from their parent populations tend to speciate rather quickly and lose all sense of right and wrong.

"people need to realize that the reason the the Hungarian brand of orthodoxy is dominant in New York is a simple mater of demographics. The Lithuanian/Russian/Polish Jewish populations were much more fully and efficiently exterminated by the Nazis YM"S by the time the allies arrived in mid-1945."

I sometimes wonder if the Nazis purposely decided to spare only the Hungarians when Eichmann y's made his barter. Maybe the Nazis calculated with Aryan cheshbonos that the Hungarians descend from the Khazars and not from the shvotim. Hungarian shuls have the highest rate of convicted felons and general sleaze. The damage that the Nazis did to Klal Yisroel is still alive and well in this respect.

The Hungarian majority in Brooklyn and satellite communities is actually the exception to the rule. The rest of the country is not predominately Hungarian due to pre-WWII immigration. Boruch Hashem for that.

"Hungarian shuls have the highest rate of convicted felons and general sleaze."

Before the Magyar PR department swings into full denial gear, how about we come up with a listing of every sleaze-botchie from Hungarian shuls that has ever been convicted of a felony, filed bankruptcy more than twice (I'm trying to be fair here), or has been under serious state or federal investigation but got off the hook after slick moves by Benjamin Brafman or some other sky high retainer lawyer.

The pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow would be Frankel's shul but consider these others,

Too many in Boro Park to list
Weinfeld's
Shulem Rubin
Sasregen
Mr. Rubinstein in Suffern/Monsey
Agudah of Ave L (even though they try to act "Amerikanish")
Steinwurtzel's

Start naming names.

To Anonymous-batchu who needs his filthy Unterlander mouth washed out with a fine soap import from Budapest,

No one is advocating more genocide, not even of Khazars who never converted to Judaism. Simply stated, It's a shame that Heinrich Himmler y's, picked Hungarians of all people to be the ones spared. We are now left with a disproportionate number of Magyars who make the front page NY Times with oft recurring chilul Hashem.

We wouldn't have to put up with all this Hungarian drek if the Nazis saved all the Yeks or the Warsaw ghetto or Vilna instead.

Go play monkey bars on your oversized crystal chandeliers.

That anonymous Hungarian spewing the repetitive expletives shouldn't throw stones in his glass house. Munkatch refers to their own Rebbe that they booted out as "Mach Shmoy" as if he's on par with the Nazis.

A Hungarian is shreying about advocating genocide? One of their own, a Hunk by the name of Rudolph Kazstner, was the only Jew in the land given freedom by the Nazis as long as went around to convince his brothers to get on the trains for "jobs and resettlement" a.k.a. the Aushwicz death train.

You make a very good point.

Basically what we have here is the Classic "Zevulun-Yissocher partnership"

The frickin crooked Hungarians take care of the money (Gashmius) and the frickin crooked Litvaks take care of our Soul (Ruchnius).

The rest of us poor shmucks are Erev Rav.

The detailed attack on Litvaks that paints them as the supposed root of all evil is hilarious, especially considering the grubba Hungarian source.

Of course fiction is usually thin on facts.

The Slifkin ban was engineered by Hungarian Leib Pinter so he can kiss up to the Litvishe that so many Hungarians worship.

Rav Scheinberg was manipulated by your friendly neighborhood Hungarian Leopold Margulies. We'll take Reb Elya Svei anyday over your demonic list from Margo on down. If tuition is too high it's because everyone's playing catch up to Margo.

Many Litvishe gedolim will tell you privately that not everyone has to go to kollel. But why is kollel so bad? Because you are a "schmuck" who had to impress your Ungarisher shver even though you don't know how to learn? Life is tough Luzer.

I guess your lovely wife (anyone ever notice how much excess facial hair Hungarian women have?) is busy mixing bug water into your Goulash.

You peasants are the ones who hijacked Yiddishkeit. Simchos in Lita had mixed seating which is a big no-no in America thanks to the Hungarians.

Lakewood yeshiva had to stop providing cholov stam butter that they received for free because the Hungarians complained.

Lakewood yeshiva had to start serving parve dinners that were crap because of you Hungarians who complained that 5 hours and 31 minutes wasn't enough to wait after fleish.

It became a whole song and dance to get the vein for kiddush in the Lakewood dining room because of you Hungarians who go beserk if a goy even LOOKS at the bottle.

Be careful with the kokosh cake tonight so it doesn't make shmutzy your bekishe with the velvet strip.

Our sincere apologies if you feel deprived by the Litvaks of all the ingredients necessary (ie cholent with gassy coke) to produce melodious raychei nichoach. Just for your info, there are Litvishe poskim that hold you can open a new can and pour all the contents out and immediately dispose of the can.

Check the yichus of most Litvaks and you'll find they are Ungarishe. They won't fess up that they are Magyars. "My grandparents lived in Vienna", "They were Ashkenazim not Hungarians" "We are Americans" blah blah blah

The real Litvaks are predominantly non-practicing Jews.

Check out Skevre, you can't find a Russki. All narishe Ungarishe.

Even Weberman of the Neturei Karta, who is American as apple pie is Hungarian.

I spoke to many old time Magyars and they say that the Poylisher yidden got what they deserved because they were were leaving the fold.

The Hungarians did not expect the Nazis to come after them because they were ok in G-d's eyes.

Bubbe Yittel Lefkowitz:

On the subject of Rabbi Lefkowitz standing up for true Jews everywhere, see A perfect example:

Avi: "The legend isn't that they are gentiles; they are from "Bubbe Yittel" who was pregnant with their great grandfather while her husband was away for business one year. There is a Teshuva from The Divrei Chaim of Tsanz and Satmar Ruv giving a Heter to be engaged with their kids but most Satmars aren’t meshadech with them, but they are a huge family and they are marrying with their cousins."

HirshelTzig: "Lefkowitzes marry other Satmarers as well, I know many personally."

Tzemach Atlas: Can someone produce the tshuvos please?

Comments:
---------------------

The Tshuvah is in Machne Chaim (not Divreh Chaim). Allegedly, she was pregnent from a Shed (Demon). Alegedly, the Satmar Rov said " while the Machen Chaim permitted this, who would want to marry a demon !!"

I saw a letter from the Satmerer Rov saying that still in Europe he complained to an older rov (can't remember whom) that people were refraining from being meshadich with the Lefkowits family unfairly and that rov agreed with him.
