At the end of the day, there really is only one choice for an Orthodox Jew to vote for, and that is Hillary Clinton. Here are the main reasons why.
Donald Trump will try to make America Great again. He promised that he will cut funding to NATO. He also hinted and alluded that he will cut Israel’s funding. Currently, Israel receives 3.1 billion dollars a year from the United States. This funding is extremely important to Israel’s security. In order to keep up with Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, ISIS and numerous other threats to Israel – this funding must remain in place.
Notwithstanding the fact that his daughter is a giores, Trump has had opportunities to repudiate associations with anti-Semitic supporters – and he hasn’t. Indeed, his latest closing ad has four bad guys: Hillary Clinton, George Soros (Jewish financier), Janet Yellen (Jewish Federation Chairperson) and Lloyd Blankfein (the Jewish CEO of Goldman Sachs).
The narration in the ad is as follows: The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests. They partner with these people (Hillary Clinton) who don’t have your good in mind.”
True, Soros is a leftist self-hating Jew. But the tone of the ad is frighteningly anti-Semitic.
Let’s also remember that Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Stephen Bannon, was branded an anti-Semite by his ex-wife long before he was Trump’s manager.
Mary Louise Piccard stated in a 2007 court declaration that Bannon didn’t want their twin daughters attending the Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles because many “Jewish students were enrolled at the elite institution.”
“He said that he doesn’t like the way they raise their kids to be ‘whiny brats’ and that he didn’t want the girls going to school with Jews,” Piccard wrote.
In his Twitter accounts, Trump has tweeted and retweeted pictures, thoughts, and ideas that he got from anti-Semitic sites, and has denied their anti-Semitism. What is he doing late at night visiting these anti-Semitic sites? And then he denies them?
The fact is that Donald Trump is irrational, unpredictable and quite volatile. The whole mind-boggling episode of Trump University – a ripoff from beginning to end, and then his attack on a judge that she could not judge fairly because of her Hispanic background is indicative of instability. Why won’t he be attacking Jews in the same manner when he cuts funding to Israel?
Let’s also not forget that when Bernie Sanders supporters were railing on Hillary Clinton regarding Palestinians, Hillary defended Israel. For those who watched and were listening, that was a very brave thing to do. The tone of the entire gathering was frighteningly anti-Israel.
The fact is that both the left-leaning side of the Democratic party has become intensely anti-Semitic and there is a growing right wing anti-Semitism as well. We have only to rely upon Hashem, but we must do our Hishtadlus as well. Netanyahu has a good relationship with Hillary Clinton and she has been very supportive of Israel.
Hillary certainly has some major imperfections. She has lied, profited illicitly, and numerous other infractions too. But in light of the alternative, she is the safest and best choice.

Vote for whom ever you want just vote for the “MAN” of your choice. JUST SAYING!!!
CROOKED YESHIVA WORLD
DO NOT VOTE FOR HILARY!!
AS FAR AS I KNOW HILARY HAS A TRACK RECORD OF LYING, AND DECEIVING PEOPLE, WHICH GOES AGAINST OUR CORE JEWISH VALUES
Don’t try to paint Trump as an anti-Semite because of Bannon. He never exhibited anti-Semitism or racial prejudice in his entire business life. He made it possible for Jews to join an exclusive only white club in Florida.
Hillary was Obama’s Netanyahu attack dog and she openly admitted it. Supported the Iran disaster, took money from Quatar and other Muslim countries hostile to Israel.
Trump wants immigrants to be LEGAL, Hillary does not.
Jews, she refuses to say these 3 words: Radical Islamic Terror.
Just in the last month, 2 Jewish schools in Brooklyn were seemingly cased out by suspicious photgraphers… Go ahead, take a chance on Jezebel.She’s bring in thousands of unvetted migrants. I want my family safe, don’t you??
Go sell your rotten fish in Chappaqua.
This guy is foolish. With everything we know about Hillary, he still wants to vote for her?!! She’s a crook who’s done worse for the country than ANYONE before her.
Trump has maintained that he would NOT stop money etc to EY. As far candidates are concerned, Trump’s views on EY have been a breath of fresh air.
George Soros (Jewish financier) , haha joke of the year! This anti semite self hating jew, evil wicked person, terror supporter, radical group supporter, YOU CALL HIM A JEWISH FINANCIER?! No need to continue reading.
There aren’t enough drugs in the world to make me vote for Hillary. If you like the direction the country has taken since Obama, then vote for Hillary. If you like the way Obama treats Israel, you’ll get more of the same with Hillary. If you really want a morally corrupt, money grubbing president, Hillary is your choice. The Democratic Party abandoned us during the Holocaust, and certainly are now a pro Islamic party. They’ll take our money and our votes, and then trash Israel. How anyone can put forth such nonsense to support Hillary is unfathomable. Sorry, Mr Rosenberg, she’s a tremendous danger to our republic, and to our holy homeland. Read Saul Alinsky’s communist manifesto. Rules for Radicals, and you’ll understand Obama and Hillary.Also, if she backed by George Soros, an evil person, you knows she’s from the dark side.
According to your opinion we should have a write in vote. Why specifically Hillary?
Please see: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/482618/opinion-why-every-orthodox-jew-must-vote-for-donald-trump.html
Huh?
First, Janet Yellen is chairperson of the Federal Reserve, the central bank in the US. She’s not chairperson of Amit women, or girls scouts for Israel or something like that. She holds an important and public position.
Next, the fact is that there are secular liberal Jews, like Soros (real name Schwartz IIRC) whose values do not at all fit with ours, and a typical Bais Yaakov-type parent likely wouldn’t send their kids to that academy either for the same reasons.
Whether it is correct or not, I fail to see how you have come remotely close to challenging the message of that ad.
You are comparing Trump University and alleging his “volatility” (to which, as I recall, he licensed his name but didn’t even run day-to-day) to Mrs. Clinton’s “major imperfections”. And you put her on top?
Basically, it seems that you don’t like Trump (for reasons, if any, that are very unclear) so you feel people therefore MUST vote for Clinton.
Doesn’t make sense to me.
So Mr Rosenberg, I love how you wait till the last sentence to trivialize Hillary lying… I assume you are a father of kids.. as a Torah observant Jew… what derech, what hashgafah are you teaching your kids? You would never hire a compulsive liar to work in your company, yet here your telling all of us why we should hire this lying, crooked woman to lead the nations highest office???
Besides for all her lies, she has blood on her hands… it’s amazing how you look to paint the Donald in a bad light but don’t see the bigotry, Blanca the anti Semitic staff Hillary has at her sides…
I am not saying Donald is perfect, nobody is perfect, but when you sit in front of a senate committee and raise your hand and blatantly lie, and not because your protecting our national intrests .. but rather to cover up all the emails and money trails — well then she deserves a orange jumpsuit…
this lady who your telling all the readers to vote for has sold her soul to foreign countries for the almighty dollar, has sold her soul to Wall Street… and for what??
You have to be a fool to vote for this woman..
yet you are blinded – like so many democrats.. you will sell your vote even though it’s clear as day that this woman will destroy everything we as Americans fought so hard for..
B”H most Americans are not stupid as can be seen with the teeny-tiny turnouts at ALL her rallies. By looking at the videos and photos of her rallies, there’s no way in the world she can be off 1-2 points from Trump whose rallies consist of 20,000 – 60,0000 and is already leading in a landslide.
She’s hoping that the 4 million ineligible and dead voters will make up for it and help her reach at least 1/4 of what Trump gets. Obama is encouraging illegal immigrants to vote and calls them “citizens”.
The devil need not fear because, as WikeLeaks revealed several weeks ago, “Trump will not be allowed to win”.
Mainstream media propaganda liars with their daily announcement and convincing the world that they are 1-2 points behind each other, when the truth is that Trump is far far ahead are hoping that after weeks of hearing the baloney polls, the corrupt government will be able to pull off their fraud and rig the voting machines (like they did for Obama) to make the criminal monstrous Hillary the winner and force her into office by hook or by “crook”?
IDIOT!
Excellent piece!!! #NeverTrump.
Huma abedin has been described as a “second daughter” to Hillary. She has been Hillary’s traveling chief of staff, a senior adviser, and a deputy chief of staff when Hillary was secretary of state. She is the vice-chair of Hillary’s presidential campaign.
Do we want her in the White House next to Hillary?
Yidden, this is not the time to consider personal issues or government programs!
The only consideration must be Acheinu Kol Bais Yisroel.
The candidate to vote for, while this may be unpleasant to many, is clear.
If we have our priorities straight and our hearts straight we know what to do.
Rosenberg are you on drugs. Soros was a Jew his parents converted to xrisanity., he is a Jew hater soros who wants one
world meaning no borders. he is pro Palestinian are you?
Retract your support
Let’s all get the vote out for (former mayor) MARION BARRY! YEAH! He’s the man! Let’s make him PRESIDENT!!
Just because he’s a corrupt drug user, horrible criminal, lousy leader…. don’t let that stop you!! And if he’s not available, Hillary can just step right in there and lead us to the promised land!!
As much as I love Israel and Jews it’s not all about us. The entire middle east fell apart under her, the relationship with Russia got worse and China and Iran and Pakistan so if there’s a nuclear war with these countries it’s not going to come down to the Jews or Israel its going to be about that she has no idea what she is doing……..
For a while, I felt it’s impossible to vote because both choices are so very awful. It’s clear why people don’t like Trump – he’s really not that likable – he really IS volatile and uncouth. BUT I’m thinking now that he’s the lesser of the two evils. Clinton is a continuation of ‘O’beheima’ – pro-Arab, empowering Iran and letting them attain advanced nuclear capabilities, empowering the so-called Palestinians (really nomads, Jordanians or other Arab nationalities), flooding the USA with refugees – among them ISIS and other terrorist members, removing funding from schools that refuse to hire toeiva teachers that apply and so on by appointing leftist liberals to the Supreme Court and that’s besides her being a liar and thoroughly corrupt. Trump is definitely scary – a buffoon and possibly dangerous, but Clinton seems definitely dangerous and “ein sofeik motzi midai vadai”. Bottom line – we will get what we deserve which is a VERY scary thought, considering that Hashem deemed us deserving of O’beheima for 8 years…
And don’t think our neighborhoods and communities are immune from the federal resettlements of refugees as is happening right now all over the USA.
We will be islands in a sea of unvetted migrants and illegal immigrants, and we don’t know who they are.
Our , shtieblach, yeshivos, homes and eiruv wired enclaves won’t be safe for a moment, and there’s nothing you’ll be able to do about it with an arrogant liar and non-indicted convict in the White House, and Bill lurking the corridors giving advice.
Please, we can’t be that stupid. Or are we?
Supportive of Israel? You’re delusional. She supported a nuclear genocidal deal of Obama; did youbread the encounters with BiBi? Her advisors?Read the facts again. With all due respect to some nonsense social programs, she is a threat to the genocide of Israel.
Me Rosenberg voting for Hillary would be great we could know all the state secrets
Rosenburg – I wonder how many hours it took you to draft that lousy email.. if you wanted the readers to be swayed by your deep and penetrating words – you acccomplished the opposite- if you wanted us to really believe you, the right thing would be to bring forth the pros and cons of each candidate..
for some reason based on your joke of a post.. it seems you made up your mind a long time ago..
even as we speak the FBI is has reopened a case against her your still telling educated ppl here to vote for a career lier, and as a corrupt politician as there ever has been.
You come across as a uneducated fool… I mean your arguments are not even rationale ..,
Hillary has always been surrounded by anti semites.. the names you bunched her with??? Do a little homework rosenburg and you will see their hate for Israel and Jews .. yet you sit in some corner of the Midwest telling all the readers to vote for this corrupt woman?
Have you seen the news??
Forget the 33 thousand emails
Forget the Benghazi lies
Forget the soldiers who died and she covered it up
Forget about taking money from Qatar
Forget about her lying to the senate
Forget about the Clinton foundation
Forget about Vince foster
Forget about her being under fire in Bosnia
Forget how she kissed Arafat
Forget that the FBI is investigating her
Forget the money she took from Wall Street…
forget how she threatened bills accusers
YET you want us to vote for this wonderful woman????
Rosenburg I say to you.. your just as bad as her, you prob belong on her staff… because in your eyes she is the rainbow at the end of tunnel..
Only a fool would ignore the facts
Do some real homework before you pick up a pen..
I am sorry but the democratic party as a whole does not represent the views of Orthodox Yidden. While I am not sure if Donald Trump is the right person to be elected, I know that Hillary Clinton is not the right person. I am sorry Mr. Rosenberg but your editorial is not convincing.
Any Jew who is voting for Hitlary, who is funded by Saudis and Qatar(aka ISIS/hamas), is having blood on his hands.
Only stupid ignorant or immoral person would vote for her. Which one one is you, Mr. Rosenberg?
Ivanka is a Brilliant, Elegant Smart Businesswoman, and she is an Orthodox Jew, who shares great Friday Night Shabbos Meal recipes. She also shares how happy and Proud she is to keep Shabbos and Kosher. Melania Trump is a Class Act, poised, and dressed appropriately and Modestly. VP Pick Pence is Strongly Pro Israel as are All Trumps Advisors. Trump’s Israel advisors are all Frum JEWS including Greenblatt and Friedman. Donald Trump is Very Pro-Israel on EVERY issue, He Encourages Building in ALL ISRAEL Including Judea and Samaria and an eternal UNITED JERUSALEM. He is strong on preventing Terror, He is against the Terrible Iran Nuke Deal that gave Billions in Cash to Mullah Iran, and he wants to Lower our Taxes, and give Us School Vouchers to offset costs of Tuition. Trump also wants to Repeal Obamacare that has seen Skyrocketing Deductibles and Premium costs, All his Policies are Excellent for all Americans, including the Jewish Community.
There is NOTHING AntiSemitic about condemning Peace Now ProPalestinian Atheist self-Hating JEWS who Join with Those who seek to Harm Israel and the JEWISH Community. Soros, like Karl Marx, deserve condemnation.
Hillary and the Democrat Party have a very anti-Israel Platform: The Democratic Platform is Profoundly Pro-Palestinian Hillary and her cohorts want dangerous suicidal pre 1967 Borders, and a Divided Jerusalem. She also wants to Bring in Millions of Syrians, who are viciously Anti-Semitic- look and see what these Syrians Islamists who have invaded EUROPE are doing in France, Belgium, UK, and Germany, where it is a Danger to wear Yarmulkes on the streets. All Hillarys Staffers and VP Pick and Advisors are Pro Palestinian like VP PICK Kaine and Muslim Brotherhood affiliates like Huma ABEDIN and Valeri Jarrett.
Hillary took MILLIONS of DOLLARS from the same people she made FEDERAL Deals with, as Secretary of State, which is BRIBERY. She took Millions Cash from AntiAmerican AntiIsrael Foreign Governments, to whom she now owes Favors and allegiance, such as Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
As Secretary of State Hillary Sold a Majority of our URANIUM to PUTIN, Through a Deal with Canadian Uranium One, who then Gave the CLINTONS and Podesta MILLIONS of Dollars. She did this as Secretary of State, not as a Private Citizen. This is Unprecedented behavior from a Sacretary of State. She Took Millions from Wall Street while Duplicitously lying about it. She NEVER Disbursed the Money from her Foundation as Pure Charity as others do- She set up Corporations with Cronies to make money selling things-like Cell phones in Haiti, she never gave a dime for AIDS Drugs as she says, she just got 4 companies to make Millions selling cheap diluted Drugs. The money ends up filtering back to her, The promised Hospital in Haiti was never built.
Hillary wants to RAISE our Taxes- we cannot afford it. She wants to Flood our cities with Illegals who sap our Tax Dollars and drain our Healthcare system- in fact she wants US the Taxpayer to Pay for Illegals Health care! Please, Please Vote with your Head on facts, not emotions.
I’m not sure you understand what you’re voting for if you vote for Clinton.
By voting for Clinton (or any democrat and this point in history) you are voting for somebody who will pass laws against our holy Torah. Laws like homo sexuality, abortion.. the list goes on (Is it even muttar to place a vote for such a candidate?) not only are you voting for someone who will pass the laws but you are voting for someone who’s party is trying to make those toevas the NEW NORMAL. Shame on any jew who votes for that! Guard the Torah , don’t Hefker it. Did you forget how many Jews live in america- do you want your children to grow up with toeva as acceptable way of life and you will have to tell them that you are partly responsible for it? Is the galus not hard enough with all the saros , intermarriage and everything else? I won’t even get started with all the anti Israel stances they have (as proven in Wikileaks) .. you don’t like trump? You’re entitled not to I don’t either but to vote for toeva! Better to Stay home and don’t vote! Say tehilim instead or something
SICKENING ! More lies are here than with Hilary herself
Does anyone else find it ironic that the midrash says in THIS weeks parshah Noah, that one of the main reasons of the mabul was because they legalized gay marriage.
And we’re doing the same?
ABEDIN, hillary right hand is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Great pick hillary
Clinton criticized attempts in Israel to restrict left-wing organizations and expressed shock over growing discrimination against Israeli women. She mentioned cases of IDF soldiers leaving during performances of female singers. Clinton will force Israel to give into non-orthodox groups even more than it already has. She will appoint judges that will take away non-profit status from groups that do not recognize abominations.
Never Trump!!!!!!!!
Kudos to Yeshiva world for allowing the author to express his viewpoint! It’s high time that we, in the Chareidi community allow a rational and sound viewpoint to be expressed. While I don’t necessarily agree with Mr Rosenberg on his assertion about Trump being anti-semitic, I do share his view that Trump is remarkably unqualified to be president. It is beyond belief that anybody would vote for a person who is so highly ignorant, and unintelligent.
If Donald Trump would be polling at ten percent, it would be of concern. If one out of ten Americans can vote for someone who has no control over his impulses, acts as though he is a child in an adult’s body, uses language that even people within the larger secular world recognize as inappropriate, I’d think that there is something very wrong with the American electorate. The fact that he has a serious chance at winning the White House, should be of great concern to anyone with a brain in his head.
Chazal tell us, אין לדיין, אלא מה שעיניו ראות one can only judge what one sees. A person’s thought pattern, intelligence and his overall outlook can only be judged by the way one speaks and interacts with others. If you listen to what he says, and the way he responds to questions posed to him, it’s as though has never thought through the issue even remotely, answering on the spur of the moment with any thought that came to his head, and having subsequently to defend what he said so thoughtlessly. His answers and his speeches in general, are so full of rhetoric, lacking any sort of substance. It’s so obviously clear, that this man has no grasp on anything, and it’s really really scary that he can become the next president of the world’s most powerful nation.
If any other candidate would have said the things that he did/does, he would have been disqualified long ago. Yet he gets away with it time and again. I cannot for the life of me understand why and Torah Jew, would vote for such a person. It’s really beyond me. Of course Clinton is also a terrible candidate, and a Clinton presidency would be much the same that we’ve had under Obama, but at the least, she doesn’t exhibit the sort of incompetence that her opponent does. It’s a scenario of one candidate who is selfish and terrible, versus the other who is selfish, really really terrible, and highly unqualified, The lesser of the two evils argument, can certainly be made. Anyone voting for Trump as president, would be playing Russian roulette with the prospect of electing a person to be in charge of the most powerful nation on earth.
Have you lost your mind? hillary may have to pick up to 4 supreme court justices. If she does, expect another mabul.
It’s obvious you are an idiot j yelled is a quasi government figure
As for swchartz he is a supporter of every Arab cause and a strong supporter of anti isreal movements for get his help of the nazis
Look st her friends and you know who she is
Second all of trumps children are married to Jews are engaged
To a Jew. But you are ignorant of the facts or
And what about her promise to nominate left wing radical pro militant toevanicks to the Supreme Court, making this once great Nation worse than Noachs generation?!
מדבר שקר תרחק makes it a Torah prohibition to vote for “Lie Lie Liar”
Commenter no. 6, moshe eli, says: “If you really want a morally corrupt, money grubbing president, Hillary is your choice.” This is very unfair to Trump. He would fill the bill for a morally corrupt money grubber as well Hillary would.
It’s ridiculous when Jews publicly write wether on forums, websites, or in newspaper ads, that we should vote for candidate or another. They are both immoral, liars and criminals.
If one wants to choose one clown over another for one reason or another it’s their personal choice. But it’s incredibly shocking when drum people defend either candidate as they one is incredibly immoral and the other a criminal.
Vote for Hillary! Vote for sanity!
Re comment 16, yossi613: FYI, Marion Barry died 2 years ago. He can vote in Chicago, but he can’t be president.
Vote for trump
8 years ago we were given doom and gloom that Obama will destroy israel and hurt Jews…
meanwhile, he gave more money to israel than any other president, gave them iron Dome, Arrow etc…. and in two wars all he said was “israel has the right to defend itself”….
Unlike Jew-loving Bush who said “i urge restraint on both sides”..
What utter lies. Fits the candidate. How do people make up this stuff?
philosopher:
While we had plenty of immoral presidents, we never had a psychopathic lying criminal ,and with dead Americans on her head going into office. Big difference.
Vote for Gary Johnson. He won’t win, but it’s not about winning. It’s about taking a stand and getting the Libertarian party funded.

Hillary is an anathema to all the values of the Torah. Trump might not be perfect but at least he’s more in line with many of our core values. She’s wrong and we all know it.
