“Lehovin” Jewish Newspaper

We throw it out, along with the marketeer, vues and other unsolicited materials left at the door.

From the name alone you can tell that it is a propaganda paper.

This week’s issue was very interesting.

The FJJ has more paper waste for that purpose.

Lol, I have no idea what most of these things are that are being spoken of, but I think it’s hilarious how extremely some of you are reacting to a new newspaper showing up at your door.

Some 28 years ago there was a realistic opportunity to start in North America , Degel.

There were certain Community figures in NY Who were raring to go and gung ho
Rabbi Pam firmly And emphatically put down his foot declaring that in America There are no factions /divisions That is how it should remain and should not start
That became precedent respected and accepted by all

when a couple years later Deri wished
to start A branch of his faction in America
He was firmly told of this and indeed backed off and declined to do so

These Youngsters Will now rend all that asunder

IITFT: This is a newspaper not a political party or community group. So your comparison is completely off.

If you’re concerned about their being another newspaper, you should be just as upset that there’s a Yated when we already have a Hamodia. After all, your argument is against another branch. Yated represents the Degel breakoff from the Agudah (which is represented by Hamodia) and yet Degel/Yated publishes in the United States despite your insistence otherwise.

Joseph:The Yated in English Started In ’89 several years before any factionalist competition
Your plaint against Hamodia indeed will stand

apy: What do you do with the unsolicited FJJ thrown at your door? Consistent with your first comment above about unsolicited materials left at the door?

IITFT: Another interesting tidbit regarding your historical account of how Maran HaGoen HaRav Pam zt’l prevented an American split following the Degel splitting off from the Agudah in Israel, HaGoen HaRav Aharon Schechter shlit”a prevented a similar American split in the past decade when Peleg split off from the Degel in Israel.

This is a newspaper not a political party or community group. So your comparison is completely off.

Newspapers are often allied or associated with political parties or movements
(even when they’re not an official organ of the entity in question).

That Hamodia is surely affiliated with the agudah should be obvious, although they gave Lichtenstein, a relative of theirs, a longer leash for North American audience

Lipschitz is a little bit more complicated he is pretty much independent

Joseph is the publisher of Lehovin.

It’s obviously an eitz propaganda paper, c’mon Joe. They only write about eitz rabbonim. Your point about about R Aharon is entirely untrue, and ironic at best. vihameivin yavin.

So, wait, in the name of not having partisan newspapers you guys are slandering this paper because it competes with the partisan newspapers you like?

“we do not need export it to chutz la’aretz.”

Imagine what he would have said in todays era of social media and instant spreading of info.

Apparently this world be a close approximation of which paper is closest to which party:

Hamodia – Agudas Yisroel
Yated – Degel
Lehovin – Peleg/Bnei Torah
Jewish Press – Religious Zionists/MO

For a change, Reb Yosef provides a reasonably accurate mapping of the editorial positions of various frum media to the political canvas.

I agree with those that say we don’t need the מחלוקת exported here. those that are interested can easily find out what’s going on. I want to add one point about the discussion. I was told that the Hamodia came out while Moshe Sherer wasn’t well. He said that the 1st thing he will do when he gets back to work will be to shut down the Hamodia. Alas, he didn’t get back. This what I heard.

LOT112: Do you leave the FJJ where it was thrown without permission?

<i> I was told that the Hamodia came out while Moshe Sherer wasn’t well. He said that the 1st thing he will do when he gets back to work will be to shut down the Hamodia. Alas, he didn’t get back. This what I heard.</i>

Difficult to believe because Reb Moshe Sherer would have had little ability to close down Hamodia without making a MAJOR machlokes fight that he probably would have lost. Even had he won, the fight would have caused major damage and r two or three years later another Hamodia type paper would have opened anyhow.

According to his family and others who visited him during his final hospital stay, he said that if he gets better his next three projects are (1)kids at risk (2)Shidduchim (3) I’m not sure about this one but I think it was dealing with the increasing hostility to religion in American pseudo-intellectual liberal circles

lehovin is an eitz propaganda newspaper.
eitz is a faction that goes against the gedoilei had or and the one who started it was labelled by the sar hatorah ten Chaim kanievsky as a zoken mamrei and therefore no one should have anything to do with eitz.
anyone who receives it should shred it up as if it’s a treife newspaper

lehovin makes great liner for the kitty box.

Apashutayid: Reb Yosef is 100 percent with respect to cats (as one would expect from Reb Yosef) but chazal bring down that using this ehrlicher newspaper is totally appropriate for wrapping your favorite pet herring (or any other fish with fins and scales).
