Reply To: Anti-Zionists Criticized in Matzav Inbox

“On Friday, November 29, 1947, the United Nations
debated the issue of partitioning the British Mandate
for Palestine into two countries, one Arab and on Jewish.

Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz] prayed fervently for partition.

He had no radio in his house, but that Friday he borrowed one
and set it to the news, leaving it on for Shabbos.

He waited with such tense anticipation to hear the outcome
of the U. N. [United Nations] vote that he did not come to shalosh seudos.

When he heard the U. N.’s decision to establish a Jewish state,
he stood up and recited the blessing HaTov VeHaMeitiv,
Who is good and Who does good.

Without losing sight of the anti-religious nature of
the leaders of the yishuv in Eretz Yisrael,
he nevertheless saw the creation of a Jewish state
as an act of Providence and as a cause for rejoicing.

At the very least, there would now be one country in the world
whose gates would be open to the thousands of Holocaust survivors
still languishing in Displaced Persons Camps in Germany and Austria.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:

Please, DO NOT LISTEN to Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz,
just because he was the founder of Torah U’Mesorah.

Please, DO NOT LISTEN to Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz,
just because he was principal of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas,
and taught there for 25 years.

Please, DO NOT LISTEN to Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz,
just because he was known as
“the premier architect of Torah in American history.”

Instead, just totally ignore Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz,
just like you always do, and focus 100% of your attention
on VaYoel Moshe, because the Satmar Rebbe was
the *** ONLY *** Rabbi whose opinion counts.
