Strange coincidence that Nortre Dame honored Obama, king of Abortion, on the same day that Aguda honored Bloomberg, king of GayMarriage.

Is there a message here?

Sorry you were ba’leidigt that your rosh yeshiva didnt get the press he deserved however I am sure knowing the people involved that there was a good reason. Of course that wont sit well with you either and that is something you have to live with. I dont think the JO is suffering because of the m’chuh that you are making and I dont think its suffering from any m’chuh being made by the people on the eastern end of Washington Heights either.

Lmaan Hemes:

They were begged to publish an article discussing the age gap and they turned it down. That article has since been published in other publications

The Chofetz Chaim teaches us in Hilchos Shmiras Haloshon that one “shouldn’t overly praise someone because inevitably, another will hear this praise and find something negative to say.”
Thats the whole sum up of this posted essay and the comments that follow. What was meant to bestow Kovud and clarity on the JO and Rabbi Wolpin has become another venue to attack the Agudah. That even you, an obviously intelligent individual, allowed yourself to get sucked in to the negativity, should cause you to stop and
think deeply before you post again. You don’t get a pass because you said something nice to camouflage your criticism.
You couldn’t miss the opportunity to take a shot could you? Bloomberg is not getting honored, he is giving a speech as the Mayor of NYC, not as man of the year, how many times must I set the record straight? If you have a problem with this choice of speaker, that is your absolute right and privilege but at the same time at least be consistent and fair.

He was an outstanding Mechanich in Ohr Yisroel and many talmidim reflect positively on those days. Rabbi Wolpin has made the Jewish observer into a truly intelligent outspoken and articulate forum for the many issues facing Klall Yisroel.. Kol Hakavod
to Agudas Yisroel and continued Hatzlocha to Rabbi Wolpin

And you found that somewhat, uh, offensive? Inaccurate? Huh?

Kol Hakavod to Rabbi Wolpin, Rabbi Golding, and all the other dedicated individuals who have provided us with such an exceptional magazine over the years. I saved many of my old ones, and find them helpful still today.

Chazak V’Ematz!

What about Misaskim, FEGS, Met Council on Poverty, Bikkur Cholim, Orthodox Union, and Bonei Olam?

Don’t they also advocate for issues near and dear to our kehilla? Are they not also made up of fine, dedicated askonim who honestly try to help their fellow Jews?

Why is Agudah the “Main” address for an organized voice of Torah Judaism when you yourself gave examples of disunity?

Golding has been and continues to be a tremendous Shliach for Klal Yisroel.
Thank you for your insight and for your very inspiring words about another amazingly accomplished Yid, Rabbi Nissan Wolpin Shlita who through the pages of the JO has literally been the torah-true voice for Das Torah in America for decades.

p.s. azi dont flatter yourself
