To Happy New Year

You nailed it.

To ashergg

I give you credit for dealing with Nevuah. You seem to have tamed the wild beast, because he’s actually showing some sign of humanity. Keep up the good work. You’re proving me wrong and I don’t mind admitting when I’m wrong.

To rebEmes

You’re still trying to talk sense to this atheist. A few months ago, when he was writing under the name rescue, some woman who called herself a Chabad Rebbetzin said that Schneersohn was G-d’s physical son. Several posters criticized her but this nut job defended her saying that we were bullies for not allowing her to express her opinion. He’s a Kofer like BMG guy.

To the group

Only a blind fool would refuse to see how many great Rabbonim are being produced by YU. In addition, the YU ethic stresses honesty something which is missing in much of the Charedi world. And I am not from YU, but truth is truth.

To rebEmes

Lubavichers have no concept of Hashem. Their god is six feet under in Queens. Their belief system is based on doing what they think Schneersohn would want from them. I read a story about one of the early Shluchim. He went to some faraway place and was upset because no Jews were there that he could be Mikarev. He told this to the Rebbe in writing and the response was, “If you’ll be there sixty years and one day a Jew will show up and you’ll give him a can of soda and he’ll make a Brocho, your shlichus was worth every minute.” This is insanity, but this is Chabad. The absolute belief in anything Schneersohn said even when he said things that were against the Torah.

To DaMoshe

When Butman senior had his radio show he would regularly make statements like, “When G-d Almighty looks down and sees 5000 Shluchim spreading Torah in the world.” As far as Chabad is concerned nothing else exists. I’ll share a story to that point. About 35 years ago I spent a Shabbos in CH. with my wife who was friends with a Lubavitch couple. On Shabbos afternoon we came to 770 and there was a large gathering. A young fellow from Florida, obviously a BT said to one of the Rabbis, “I love Chabad but why does mainstream Judaism reject you?” The Rabbi answered, “We are mainstream Judaism.” That’s the problem and there is no solution. The only question is how great the damage will be that’s caused by them.

To rebEmes

There’s no lawsuit. That’s just another lie from BMG guy. He thinks he can scare me. He also invented some poster named Mohammed something who says he’s investigating various complaints about my office. He’s insane like the Kofer Nevuah. They both hate me because I stand up for the Torah that they rejected. When he started talking about the lawsuit, I told him that it was public knowledge that Manis was a Kofer because Rabbi Feldman said so. He responded that his team of lawyers led by Rachel Herman said that just because someone else called him a Kofer won’t help me in court. The only reason I’m sharing all this is so that if I deal with that maniac again on VIN, I want you to be on my side which is the side of the Torah.

To pekak

I was just making the point that we can’t judge a person by his children or grandchildren. Rabbi Yisroel Salanter was a perfect Tzaddik and his son went lost. Rav Moshe had two granddaughters who went OTD. I think it’s too convenient for people to say that since Mendelsohn’s descendants left the fold it proves that he was a Rosho. Only Hashem can decide. Since he kept the Torah, we must dan him Lkaf Zchus.

To MSwaytogo

I like your style. Let me just add something to your point. According to Chabad theology all Jews will be redeemed by Moshiach. Schneersohn saw no distinction between Woody Allen and a Rosh Yeshiva. This said, why does Chabad take such pride in its Kiruv work? Let them continue to await Schneersohn’s “Second Coming” at which point he’ll snap his fingers and save every Jew.

To ??coffee addict

I spoke to my Rav, and he said that I don’t have to be Matir Neder regarding the psychofer because I clearly didn’t mean to ignore him.

To DaMoshe

Fallow instead of follow is one of his favorites. When he initially showed up as rescue, he would regularly use oppion for opinion. I think he thinks that it demonstrates that he is not bound by any social conventions and so this is part of his Kefirah attitude meaning he can reinterpret the Torah. His Yetzer hora has complete control of him as the idiot tries to tell the world that they have to reinvent themselves while he’s a slave to his inner demons.

To Haleivi

Not only is it tiring but it’s a total waste of time, but he has nothing else in his life than to spout his Kefira.

To ??coffee addict

Thank you for calling my attention to that post. In fact, I did write that I would ignore him completely. If this has the status of a Neder then I will have to be Matir Neder. I plan to speak to my Rav tonight and ask him this Shailah. In fact, however, as you can see from my response to you, I never intended to ignore him. I came to YWN in 2023 determined to fight Chabad. Baruch Hashem our side was successful, and we no longer have to look at their garbage. I feel exactly the same way about this psychofer although he’s far less dangerous since he’s nothing but a stupid Daas Yachid. Bli Neder I’ll get back to you tomorrow with what my Rav said. I enjoy our discussions. They’re challenging and truthful.

To SQUARE-ROOT

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments of the author. Some may dismiss what he said as simple jealousy, but I think that Gashmius obsession also affects those who have enormous wealth. We’re in this world to serve Hashem not show off to others and this is lost on so many. Baruch Hashem I’m married to someone who doesn’t make excessive demands of me so that I’m free to learn and write, but I think she’s the exception not the norm.

To Pekak

Always is a nice guy and a Torah Jew, but he’s a contrarian. He’ll find one case out of a billion and then say that this represents the rule. Obviously, Hashem is the true judge of the world. He knows everything about each of us and He judges accordingly. As for Mendelsohn, it’s not so clear that you can dismiss him as a Rosho and then impute that his family went lost because of his false ideas. Rabbi Yisrael Salanter was as great as they come, and he had a son who left the faith.

To rebEmes

Now you’ve been exposed to the psychofer. He is like BMG guy, but BMG guy is even worse. They’re both total atheists. As for your comment “even the Tanya” this implies that you don’t hold from the Tanya, but I don’t see why. The Baal Hatanya was a Gaon Olam and a perfect Tzaddik. Chabad as it’s presently constituted has nothing to do with the Alter Rebbe.

To ??coffeeaddict

If memory serves, I told you not to get into discussions with the atheist and I also said that I would avoid doing so, but I never said that we should ignore him and allow him to spout his Kefirah. If my recollection is incorrect, please give me a citation and I’ll act accordingly.

To rebEmes

YWN has its own kofer, the mishugenah who calls himself Nevuah. He decided that Hashem, who he calls god, wouldn’t punish anyone for violating the Mitzvahs because he’s a loving god.

To evalimoshavio

I recently heard that two Chassidishe gedolim, I forgot their names, went to daven at the kever of the Ohr Hachaim when Rommel was preparing to invade Israel and they got a sign from Shamayim that he wouldn’t be successful.

To always

Let me explain what happens when the Tinok Shenishba argument is taken to its illogical conclusion. About two years I was arguing on VIN with this fellow who quoted the Chazon Ish as saying that all irreligious Jews today have the status of Tinok Shenishba. I wrote back to him that Alan Dershowitz can’t be called a Tinok Shenishba because he was raised frum and walked away from it because he felt that the religion would stunt his children from reaching their potential. He didn’t leave Judaism because he was molested or for some other trauma, he proudly announced on the radio that this was a decision that he made when he was 29 years old under no duress

To rebEmes

Thank you for responding to my question. You and I are in complete agreement that if a person decides to live his life in a manner that’s contrary to the Torah, he will face serious consequences, be it in this world and or in the next. This said, the Chabad Rabbi, Manis Friedman stated the following, “Today, because of the long bitter Golus, no Jew can be punished no matter what sin he committed.” This is outright Kefirah, but it’s in line with Chabad theology that the Rebbe will come back to save every Jew. Let me explain why I’m writing to you. I think you can see that I’m well thought out. As do you, I also write on VIN. You know me as “Drop Dead”, the fellow who has been fighting with BMG guy. The other day you endorsed BMG guy. I assume that you aren’t aware of why there’s an argument. I pointed out that Manis Friedman is a Kofer and he went insane. BMG guy is no longer frum but he’s in love with Manis for saying that nothing will happen to sinners. BMG guy has used my actual name to slander me. He has written that my office is open on Shabbos, an outright lie, and he writes that I have insulted Gedolim, another outright lie. The only Rabbi I have criticized is Manis Friedman. If you want to confirm what I’ve said I can send you the link to hear Manis spout his Kefirah I don’t lie. I don’t need you to apologize I just want to clear my name from that Moser who lies about me in public, and he fools people into believing him. If you’ll look at that thread, he wrote that Galachim know more Torah than our Gedolim. The problem is that he uses my name when he writes his garbage because he wants people like you to think I’m crazy. I am very respected on YWN because they don’t allow psychos like BMG guy to write. Let’s continue this discussion.

To Nevuah

Everyone thinks about you as I do including your family. What sets me apart is that I’m speaking out because I want you to get lost. Despite what you would like to believe a Jew doesn’t have the right to create his own G-d.

To ashergg

You’re doing a great job of engaging this Kofer. He thinks he can Pasken from Posukim. So, he finds a verse(s) that he can twist to fit his atheistic agenda. Again, he has stated clearly and he’s saying it again in this post that we should only follow those laws of the Torah that make sense to “HIM.” He decided that he has the right to decide which of the 613 Mitzvahs we should keep. I know that you want to get through to him, but it’s not possible. He’s an atheist and an idolater. He worships himself, believing that he can tell G-d which laws apply today. He knows that he has rejected our religion, but he could care less. He constantly speaks of a loving G-d who will never punish anyone if they feel that certain laws are restrictive. He’s not only a Kofer Befarhesia he’s also a Chotei Umachti because he’s trying to convince people to join his invented religion. It is what it is.

To ashergg

You almost have it, but I’ll fill in what you’re missing. When Nevuah showed up about three or four months ago he called himself rescue. At that time his Kefirah was blatant. What he said is that G-d doesn’t want “sheeple” who blindly follow what they’re told in the Torah, rather He wants people to use their free will and only keep those Mitzvahs that make sense. I then challenged him to explain the logic of one being put to death for carrying his keys in the public domain on Shabbos. He refused to answer which likely means that he does so. When he says that he isn’t an atheist he means that he accepts the concept of a G-d, but not a G-d who commands us to follow the Torah. That’s why he danced around the words Har Sinai in his last post. He probably accepts that G-d gave the Torah to Moshe, but now he thinks it’s our job to interpret the Torah according to our logic. Clearly, he’s a Kofer and so there’s no point trying to continue this discussion. He’s also a total idiot and so he’ll probably play the Qwerty take your meds game. My suspicion is that he’s been diagnosed with serious mental disabilities and so he’s projecting his infirmity on me.

To always

You make a good point, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that the Tinok Shenishba card is overplayed. Jews who grew up frum and left the faith are not Tinok Shenishba. They may have a reason for having gone lost, but to say that they’re Tinok Shenishba makes no sense. Troubled yes. But let’s not take it any further. RebEmes lies to write on VIN. He’s the typical hate filled Yeshiva junkie who looks for ways to convince himself that all Jews except for himself are going to hell.

To the group

This is a meaningless argument. Hashem knows every person’s life story and so only He can decide. Someone asked Rabbi Miller to comment on Tinok Shenishba and he sort of pushed it off. I think the reason he did so is because this is one of those subjects that only Hashem is privy to.

To Nevuah

The Gemara reaches that when someone accuses another of something it’s because he himself is guilty of that same thing. Therefore, since you try to impute that I’m crazy, it’s because you’ve been given that title. Obviously, your wife and your Rabbi, who know you well, came to that assessment which is why custody of your kids was awarded to your spouse. Checkmate. I’ll leave you alone if you come clean. Everyone know that fakenews is right about you. We just want to hear your side of the story.

To nevuah

I haven’t said anything contradictory. As fakenews said apparently the reason for your Kefirah is the raw deal that you got in your divorce proceedings. Now you see yourself as an expert in many areas, but my expertise is relatively limited. One subject that I do know is music. Meatloaf had a hit with “Two out of Three Ain’t Bad.” I would suggest that title applies to your marriage. You got screwed up while your ex and your children are celebrating their freedom. Am I right?

To nevuah

Shadchanim are very wary of dealing with “people” like you who ruined their first marriages. Generally, the recidivism rate is very high. You’re probably viewed as damaged goods.

To SQUARE_ROOT

Rav Moshe Feinstein of course. His position was that he wasn’t necessarily in favor of establishing the State, but once it became a reality, he said that it has to be supported because of all the Jews who live there. I don’t know if this statement is in writing but growing up in his neighborhood that’s what I always heard. Therefore, this idea that every Gadol is anti-Israel is total hooey.

To Nevuah

So, what’s the name of the Rabbi who stabbed you in the back during your divorce proceedings? Inquiring minds want to know. Before your divorce were you Shomer Shabbos or did you leave the faith even when you were married?
