If you got the money especially easy Money you will spend fast. I myself despite being extremely wealthy keep a low profile. Few people including my wife dont know im worth over a hundred million plus. She knows I have money but I never revealed any amount. This way no one bothers me. I daven in shuls where people don’t really know me otherwise I would be interrupted during davening. It’s a pleasant life.
The answer is simple.
Weddings are costing an arm and a leg. If all the rabbonim yeshivash and chassidish got together and forbid the crazy spending on weddings than parents would have money for tuition. Chassidic rebbes can enforce married women to shave their heads and not be allowed to drive. Yeshivash rabbonim can enforce various takonas having boys learn till 23 years of age and avoid getting married. Why can’t all these powerful leaders lay down the law on wedding expenses. If every wedding was simple it would cost top 3000 dollars. Yes three thousand dollars. Flowers should be in plastic not twenty thousand plus dollars. Music should be one keyboard. Wedding food with kugel and chicken and paper plates and cups. Nothing to be ashamed. Everyone must abide and confirm or get kicked out of the community. If some parent does not shave their head the kids are not allowed into the school system. It’s easy to enforce. Every wedding should have a Mashgiach to check if the wedding conforms. Rich people won’t mind saving a half million dollars on a wedding. They could se the money to buy the young couple a house instead.Here are the facts.
Drive around the streets of crown heights and see that so many boys and girls are OTD. Yet among shlichim in areas that have hardly a religious Jew their children turn out more inspired than the youth in crown heights. A plane that sits around and does not fly gets worn out. A Jew who sits back and does not increase his avodas Hashem,falls back. Children of out of town shlichim are busy helping their parents doing outreach. They get inspired.The bottom line is we should give credit to Neturei karta. I remember them walking to a protest in Turkey with their streimels on their heads as military vehicles with machine guns pass them. They have a lot of guts. Young israel type people don’t understand their deep activism. I as an extreme right wing Ben gevir supporter understand Neturei karta and i dont get bent out of shape like the modern type Jews. NK serves a purpose that is very useful on the same level as the Mossad. I personally know reb Weiss and he is moser nefesh. I could never be in his shoes and be harassed wherever he goes. It takes emunah and strength to be in his shoes. I envy his chelek leoylom Habah. You have to look at their motivations to understand their courage. Yes Satmar has anti Zionist views but their motivations are different. I could convince anyone that Neturei karta is a righteous group but I won’t do it in public as all types of people read this material. Hamaven yovin
Here are some facts.
yisroel Dovid weiss lived in Boro park not flatbush. I knew him when we were both 15 years old. His parents were Hungarian survivors
We both used to go to a local karate school which was run by an instructor affiliated with Meir kahanes Jewish Defense league. Of course they are religious you see them davening mincha every year after they protest the Israeli parade while most marchers in the Israeli parade dont daven at all.Y are you all asking if NK leader is Jewish
Fact is our generation is far greater than sixty years ago. Today Chareidim and chassidim and yeshivash get along. There was a time fifty years ago that Satmar fought with Lubavitch and klausenberg and Belz and agudah. Today it’s all peacful. Satmar rebbes visits Chabad houses Chabad houses. Chabad houses on Lakewood. Fifty years ago streimels were forbidden in Lakewood. Today there are tons. Our generation is even greater than the pre holocaust generation. Yes they had great scholarship but nothing as far as chesed as our generation. There was no kiruv to unaffiliated Jews before holocaust. It was the previous Lubavitcher rebbe that started it after holocaust and was enhanced with his son in law the next rebbe. Our generation is far more ready for mossiach than the pre holocaust generation that was falling apart spiritually.
The younger generation if Israelis eventually will leave Israel especially as Chareidim start moving into their neighborhoods. It’s only a matter of time. More and more Chareidim are hiring other people instead f Arabs to do work. Many Chinese and Filipinos are flooding israel for work. Eventually maybe twenty or thirty years down the line the prime minister will be Chareidi and women will be excluded from the army. It’s a matter of time. You see in America how chassidic life has changed. Years ago only the rebbe and his family wore streimels and white knikers. Today even truck drivers,plumbers and lay people dress like rebbes. It’s a different world. The reform are dying out and the religious are growing like crazy. Thousands of weddings every year. Highest birth rate in all of America is around n Chareidi area hospitals. We see it. Israel too is changing rapidly.
Strange title.
But when you look at the history of the secular leaders of Israel it’s pretty sad. The yeminite children where children were torn from their religious parents and put on pork eating kibbutzim,forced autopsies of all Jews who died in Israel,chillul shabbos,tattoo shops,pork stores,digging up graves of sages,gay parades and drafting yeshiva boys.The problem with the israeli army is they allow girls,homosexuals and trans into their army. They have female singers and have forced religious soldiers to listen to them. At any moment these religious units can be closed and incorporated into the general army. You can’t trust them.
