Even more I received a brochure in the mail about the affair. After reading through it I realized that the main reason the original town of New Square was built was because the Saintly Tzaddik the Skvere Rebbe ZT”L wanted to get away or let me say it better he wanted to run away from all this that is being done today. For example Pictures, Videos (as seen by the affair Sunday on the back wall behind the yellow blower) newspaper write ups, magazine articles … He wanted to create a town like the “Amoliger Shtetel” away from all the fanfare that is being done today. So after said it might be a “Hamshche” of the shtetel of today but definitely not what the shtetel was meant to be!

Dear JC
I did read #10 but there is one thing that I can’t understand. If I know that if my Rebbe or Rosh Yeshiva doesn’t like something let alone having a “Kepeda” I would never do something against his will regardless if he knows or not. In the yeshiva circles we can either call it Kovod Hatorah or being Mekabel Daas Torah .
Here in this case when the rebbe only hints some minor things like “shtivel” or other minute issues everyone runs to fulfill his words But when it comes to something that the Skevere Rebbe ZT”L was moser nefesh on we just look the other way??? It just doesn’t add up!!!!!!!

Dear Boruch1234 please be so kind and read comment #10 and that is your answer i guess yhe public relations department begs but i am 100% sure the rebbe has no idea about this please i give the rebbe a little more than that he doesn’t get involved in these kind of things!

Dear sammygol i would love the position but there are many on line waiting for it and the second problem is that the shekel hakodesh fund is a little tight right now after all there was a large function last sunday as stated in the newspapers that there were tens of thousands of people there so there is no money for another picture activist but i like your suggestion anyway!

YW Editor,
You write “as a matter of fact, we held off posting the story until late yesterday, just to get a good laugh out of the multiple e-mails screaming at us – why we did not post them yet!”

Since when do you cave in to people screaming on you?

Who were the screamers?

It probably was your oilam that was embarrassed on the write up and photos you had the last time on Skver.

Dear JC
I agree if the rebbe is really against pictures in all the newspapers and magazines I can’t understand why they would keep on sending in the pictures all over and “Beg” to put them in. How come other chassidus that their rebbes that are also against picture (Viznitz-monsey, Rachamstrivka, Stolin..)The pictures of these tzadikim don’t somehow show up in all the papers. I would respectfully request that either you they stop putting in pictures of the Skevere Rebe or just admit that he really doesn’t mind.

We are ready to take the heat for saying the following……but….let’s set the record straight:

Skver had a photographer there, and YW was BEGGED to post the article.

As a matter of fact, we held off posting the story until late yesterday, just to get a good laugh out of the multiple emails SCREAMING at us – why were did not post them yet!

Puleeze….

Also, please advise is you took the time out to write the Hamodia and “the others” you complaint…..vehamayvin yavin….
