He specializes in running ads for caterers / tours with lousy kashrus standards then fine tuning the description of the hashgocha to make it sound more frum. He already did it for Rabbi Dr. Israel Levinger & his Conservative rabbi mashgichim, renamed Rav Yisroel Meir Levinger with no mention of the Conservative rabbis.<br /><br />Now the newspaper is running ads for a British caterer Kosher Services Worldwide. In Israel, they have non-mehadrin Rabbinute, in England they have the London beis din. But Larry is running ads for their tours to foreign countries. For the other countries, the hashgocha is the modern orthodox Rabbi Stewart Weiss from Raanana who normally does cruise ships for the modern & secular crowds. He is named as the more frum sounding Rabbi Shmuel Weiss in Larry's paper.<br /><br />On the website of the caterer, they say that the tour to China is for "Jewish heritage". Meanwhile there is no mention of the Mirrer yeshiva in Shanghai.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Wild_Goose_Pagoda<br /><br />And the trip includes a visit to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, which has significance in the Buddhist religion, not the Jewish religion.<br /><br />They also go to all the places where Jewish traders who came to China centuries ago, stayed to intermarry with Chinese shiksas. How's that for a celebration of "Jewish tradition"?<br /><br />The exact ad that Larry is running this week is for the tour of "mystical Ireland". <br /><br />http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10459a.htm<br /><br />They are promoting the "monastic" sites which is where monks & nuns worship Yoshkie. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Kells<br /><br />Not only is the tour going to all the tiflus but the caterer's website is maarich to say everyone will get to look through the Book of Kells, a Gospel manuscript that is over 1200 years old. Mamash shmad with a "kosher" supervision approval.<br /><br />"Mystical Ireland" itself is a common reference to the Druid pagan religion practiced in Ireland before the 5th Century arrival of St. Patrick who converted everyone.<br /><br />Once again, Larry Gordon stoops to anything to make a few ad dollars.<br /><br />The Agudah will never say a peep against Larry because Larry backs their pro-Rubashkin agenda and because Larry's shver saved the life of Avi Shafran's father in Siberia and because Larry's kids & Shafran's kids are friends and trying together to draw people to a new community they settled into which will raise their property values.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-69967088363376084422012-07-15T08:41:39.910-04:002012-07-15T08:41:39.910-04:00The most senior officials at Yeshiva Torah Temimah...The most senior officials at Yeshiva Torah Temimah, Agudas <br />Israel of America and Torah Umesorah failed for more than <br />four decades to take any steps to protect the children <br />victimized by Yudi Kolko, the long-time Yeshiva Rebbi, <br />according to an independent investigation of the sex abuse <br />scandal that has rocked the Yeshiva, Camp Agudah and the <br />entire Brooklyn Orthodox Jewish community. <br /><br />“Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total <br />disregard for the safety and welfare of Kolko's child <br />victims,” said Louis J. Freeh, the former federal judge and <br />director of the F.B.I. who oversaw the investigation. “The <br />most powerful men at Yeshiva Torah Temimah, Camp Agudah and <br />Torah Umesorah failed to take any steps for over 40 years to <br />protect the children who Kolko victimized.” <br /><br />News Alert From The Wall Street Journal<br /><br />A widely anticipated independent investigation into Yeshiva <br />Torah Temimah's handling of child-sex abuse allegations <br />found that the Yeshiva's administrators, including Rabbi <br />Lipa Margulies, Rabbi Simcha Kaufman and the late Rabbi Eli <br />Teitelbaum, "repeatedly concealed critical facts" to avoid <br />bad publicity in connection with reports that former <br />elementary school Rebbi Yudi Kolko could be a pedophile.<br /><br />The report, issued by former Federal Bureau of Investigation <br />Director Louis Freeh at the request of trustees, found that <br />Margulies and Kaufman along with other senior officials of <br />Camp Agudah and the Torah Umesorah Organization "failed to <br />protect against a child sexual predator harming children for <br />over four decades."<br /><br />It's now time for a full and thorough investigation of <br />exactly what happened and who knew what was happening for <br />over 4 decades at Yeshiva Torah Temimah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-44368927656988475442012-07-15T02:19:11.465-04:002012-07-15T02:19:11.465-04:00http://www.suntimes.com/sports/morrissey/13743267-...http://www.suntimes.com/sports/morrissey/13743267-452/penn-state-football-needs-to-be-suspended-at-least-two-years.htmlno more pennnoreply@blogger.com
