lebidik yankel says: I was speaking in general terms, not just this specific situation. From what i’ve seen, i’m appauld at the nasty, dishonest and disguating behavior by Chareidim. They are supposed to be better than that, or should stop claiming to represent Torah.

Yeh, I know, most Chareidim are very good people, but…..

since when does daas torah mean people must vote according to what the rabbonim say? Or are we totally like the taliban now?

“” I was at Ma’amad Har Sinai.”"
So was I. Especially the second one, the one whose luchos and Torah remained intact unlike the first one. As I recall, there was at this most important and everlasting maamad, no hooplah,no hullabaloo, vo videos, no kowtowing.

Question: How is a ‘Godol” defined in our days?

It used to be about his learning yes, but also his standing with his fellow Jews and his influence, especially if he was able to inspire without necessarily having a mass following.It was about his humility and empathy for all Jews.
Seems that today it’s more about how many sycophants, shleppers, troublemakers,making-themselves-important machers and various & sundry nudniks are around him.
Yup, it’s Ikveseh D’Moshiach.

Someone please tell me this is all a surreal bubba -meisse that never happened..
Rabbis referred to as “Gedolai Hador” wanting to throw people out of a yeshiva because of politics. Posters here explaining, defending, draying a lomdishe kupp, blah, blah …. but no one seeing this as travesty of Torah. Elections, politics, honor, sinaah, machlokes, etc.
Am I the only one here screaming ” The emperor has no clothes”

BarryLS1: Welcome to our land! Permit me to clue you in a bit on what is happening: certain individuals, not in any way affiliated with Rabbi Shmuel Aurbach, but rather people who have been making trouble with Rabbi Shteinman for the past few years (ask around, they have a name for their group) have decided to vote against Gimmel because they do not like Gimmel. There is no great philosphical discussion here, rather rebellious youth.

(As I heard one shout in shul “Who made these the Gedolim that they title themselves Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah!? Who are they?” – I’d rather not repeat things, but won’t I do for a landman so in the dark…)

Rabbi Chaim Kaievsky is very pained by their chutzpah. He feels that these people’s decision is not legitimate. Would you consider talking to one of those ‘charedim’ about what is going on before posting?
