    Tyere Zushy, time for you to be moide al ha’emes – or in your language to fess up.

    1) you live in E. Israel, and therefore are up to parshas bamidbar a week early

    2) you live in E. Israel, and therefore assume that EVERYBODY ELSE is limited to the understanding of modern Hebrew,

    3) you live in E. Israel and are really excited to understand something that you misunderstood until now

    4) you are learning – or heard this form someone learning shir hashirim, rather that actually learning parshas bamidbar

    Tyere Zushy – or Zushy hematuk, in your language

    DEGEL means camp or something similar

    there is NO OTHER WAY to understnad posuk gimmel in perek beis, or posuuk 10 etc…

    it would not make sense to say the flag (singular) dwells (plural) to it’s “tzevo’ois” etc ….

    Rashi FIRST mentions the colored cloths to explain oisois – not degolim. degolim already appears many pesukim earlier.

    there were FOUR degolim, AND TWELVE flags with TWELVE DIFFERENT colors – see rashi 2 2 and rabbeinu bechaye

    One day you will figure put that bikkur choilim menas checking up on the sick rather than visiting, and doinog means all wax, not bee excretion, and you’ll start another thread about a major mistake that many Israeli’s make.

    “I think people who come up with these denial theories are simply not able to confront the reality that their uncareful behavior contributed to those deaths.”

    Carelessness may have led to deaths, and no pone is excusing it, nonetheless in this particular instance the person and his attendants were extremely vigilant, so it cannot simply be attributed to carelessness. Unfortunately Maran R’ Boruch Mordche shlit”a and the C”K the Stoliner Rebbe also contracted covid despite extreme efforts.

    I will explain my problems.

    Why is a whole chapter devoted to his b-i-l? Nothing is devoted to another b-i-l, HaGaon R’ Nosson Vishky, for whom he was also shadchan, and who was much much much closer with him, even sharing the edelstein brothers as mechutanim?

    The chapter includes dei’ois on learning vs teaching, and a lengthy description of his b-i-l’s accomplishment.

    His covid did not seem serious, he was at home with fever and he he was hospitalized wth heart failure. I am not anti – vax, in fact I am vaccinated, but i still feel that R’ Yitzchok was from th very unfortunate cases.

    The israeli supreme court is the HIGHEST power in the state.

    They are indeed self-perpetuating, therefore making the body most closely related to the original founding members of the state about whom the gedoilim famously declared that their primary intention was uprroting the toira; the secondary establishing the state, and the culprits of yaldei tehran etc….

    all were ardent beleivers in settling in e”y, anf all davened regularly to malchus beis Dovdi to be established – i.e. a Jewish state with different leaders.

    Ben Hechts book is based on records of the jerusalme magistrate’s court – although it is possible that the witnesses before him lied.

    The differences only led to violence against the Altanela, menachem Begin was very insistent that his followers do not descend into violence/lies etc

    stating the truth shouldn’t be anti-Semitic.

    one does not need to bring up old sugyas if one does not want, however to refer to proven claims as putrageous is , if anything, outrageous ……

    ubiquitin
    Ben hecht was an ardent zionist, like many people are today, but he saw the zionist leaders for what they were.

    [BTW Moron Ri”z haLeivi zatzaka”l told the Admor R’ Yoilish that although “ken zein du bist gerecht” nonetheless “Cholilo zogen yishuv eretz Yisroel is botel,” and indeed his son the Gramad Haleivi and his grandson HaGaon R’ Chayim feinstein are makpid not to leave e”y. I assume that HaGaon r’ Michel Ber Weismandel – very admired by ben Hecht; was maskim to the Gri”z. does that make them zionists?]

    Zush. very well said.

    Yet it does represent only the state of the bloggers, it is the general YWN itself which ahs sunk to a new low.

    Not only are the moderators approving posts referring to Breslover chassidim as apostates, and having no rught ot an opinion, they are publishing virulently anti israel articles, courtesy of the AP, and fake news of Israeli goings on [an article describes HaRav R’ yosef gutfarb as “exchaning slaps” with a police officer” is one of many that comes to mind.
    The hafganos against the light rail are happily reported with no context or explanation of the problems with the light rail, with many videos and details, while far greater hafganois of the settlers in the sme go ignored – as the simply do ot fir with the YWN hashkafois.

    Gedoilim such as R’ abish Eizen are niftar, but as non voters their deaths are ignored…..

    Brisker Seforim are published, but as unpublished by artscroll and being anti Zionist they do not appear

    we feel that what we have acheived would be mematek the dinim, and thereby lower the health risk for everyone.

    Rabbeinu said that had the goyim understood what the seventy oxen achieve in the beis hamikdash they would never have destroyed it, and one of Rabbeinu’s main messages was that we continuously under estimate the unbelievable importance of our own avoida.

    Additionally lease do not forget Maran R’ Matisyahu Salomon’s famous words about the zionist government “וואס האבען זיי אויפגעטאהן אז זיי געראטעווערט די ילדי טהרן אונד זיי אללע אופגעשמ-ד. מיר וייסען אז גדול המחטיאו יותר מן ההורגו”

    When my older brothers were in school [1970s and 80s children were spanked on their bottoms – often for very little reason.
    When i was a kid they decided to bring a new guy who thought he understood chinuch so he cut down a bit on the spanking and instead invented a whole bunch of different torture including making children walk round the block without shoes, spenidng time stuck under tables, or sitting without a chair – or any combination.

    To me there would seem to be a difference based on someone’s primary occupation and achievement.

    Obviously a Nazi leader etc … is primarily involved with genocide.

    Washington etc primarily rebelled against the UK. owning slaves – independent of what was accepted at that time – was secondary.

    Founder:

    R’ Yaakov Koppel chossid

    for a few generations it was based in kossov one of the main rebbes was called AHAVAS SHOLOM

    the first rebbe in “vitnitz” – a town in romanaia was the TZEMACH TZADDIK called R’ Menachem mendel and based in vitznita, about 150 years ago. He was a son in law of the Ruzhiner rebbe. viznitz therefore has a few minhagim form ruzhin like saying ledovid hashem immediately after shmoine esrei.

    He had two sons. the AHAVAS YISROEL who was called Yisroel, and married into the dzikov sanz dynasty. he had a tremendous influence in his warmth and approach to Shabbos. eretz Yisroel, and ahavas Yisroel which affect vitznitz till today. his younger brother was called boruch, he left vitnitz and was the fore runner of shotz vitnitz, and shtroznitz. he is known as the IMREI BORUCH

    The next generation was first the DAMESEK ELIEZER, when he died childless his brother took over, he was called R’ Chayim meir, IMREI CHAYIM became rebbe in 1949 until 1973

    His older son R’ yehoishua moshe YESHUOIS MOISHE was rebbe in b’nei brak, and he two sons who are rebbes R’ Yisroel and r’ mendel. His younger son was by nature stricter, was attracted a little to satmar, he was rebbe in monsey, demanded a lot from his chassidim discouraged voting in israeli elections etc…
    He has seven or eight sons as listed above.

    The Ahavas Yisroel had a son called Boruch, MEKOR BORUCH he was known as seret vitnitz and made his way to Chaifa, where his grandson is now rebbe.

    There is also a shtroznitzer rebbe in London – R’ gershon Hager, and numerous other grandchildren.

    כולם אהובים כולם ברורים R’ Yisroel hager is probably the closest in derech to the original vitznitzer philoshophy.

    Toildois avrohom yitzchok is also a bug talmid of the vitznitze derech, and many many things have also been incorporated in belz – the belzer rebbe is married to a daughter of the yeshu’ois Moishe.

    The Imrei Chayim had a grandson who was meshamesh him, he is called R’ Velvel Ernster, or the me’oir Chayim rebbe, in yerushalayim,.

    Viznitz is very devoted around
    giving shevach to Hashem, pesukei dezimra, nishmas, hakol yoiducha etc…
    Shabbos, getting together, it is always referred to as the “heiliger Shabbos”
    Ahavas Yisroel, tend to be more inclusive, less eager to criticize, steer away from kana’us

    Unlike Chabad or breslov, there is very little focus on learning “chassidus”

    Unlike Ger and Belz, there is perhaps slightly less issue made out of learnig, and slightly less encouragement for full time learning. nonetheless kevi’us ittim is very important – especially in monsey

    The rebbe is viewed as a extremely holy, he is generally refeered to as the heilige rebbe. all the wider family are viewed as being special as rebbishe eineklach, wear special “kolpiks” from barmitzva ataro and bekeshe even during the week, ec… most are expected tp become rebbes’ but not quite like nadvorna.

    They daven a little late, but not like amcshinov, just a little

    There were two beautiful articles in mishpacha, one about R’ Yisroel hager shlit”a and one about the toldos Avrohom yitzchok rebbe – whio is a talmid, they should be of use. Dr. alfasi’s books would probably also be useful.
