“And he [Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz] expressed amazement
that anyone who considered himself a good Jew could possibly
go seven days without thinking of some way in which he could
improve the lot of settlers in Eretz Yisrael or otherwise improve the Land.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:

Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz wanted ALL JEWS
to help the settlers in Eretz Yisrael, even though
most of those settlers were Secular ZIONISTS!!!

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.”
