    Rashi says that Cham’s punishment was that his offspring became שחורים. The Torah, Judaism and Halacha are explicitly anti-nochri and support Jewish supremacism. You should be proud of this fact.

    GHadofi: Thank you for openly clarifying that you are not Chareidi. (And that you despise Chareidim; though this second point is peripheral.)

    It puts your entire history of (and future) posts and comments all into perspective.

    Eretz Yisroel is in Golus. Anyone who claims otherwise is an apikorus. Theodore Herzl did not end golus and David Ben-Gurion was not Moshiach.

    The New York Times, of all places, has an article in today’s Sunday paper about adding President Trump to Mount Rushmore.

    Naturally, the Times poo-poo’s it as being technically challenging, but it says there’s more active consideration to actually doing it than for any previous president since it was completed in 1941.

    Which apikoros wrote this, that we are no longer in golus and it has ended?

    Did Theodore Herzl end the golus? Was David Ben-Gurion the Moshiach?

    For the idiots saying it’s the men’s problem and that they should worry about it without regulating women’s dress and behaviors, take up your complaints with Harlem and Chazal, who made and codified the Halacha regulating women’s dress and behaviors, yes, insofar as how they affect men.

    Well, well, well, looks like, again, that MAGA is the most pro-Israel and pro-Jewish political movement in US history.

    And President Trump has, once again, proven to be the most pro-Israel president since the State of Israel has existed. Not to mention, the most pro-Jewish president in US history.

    AAQ: What you said about Rav Meir is pure apikorsus, though I will refrain from calling you an apilorus, since I’m being dan lkaf zchus that you’re simply ignorant about it. But c”v to utter that Rav Meir is to be blamed. Bruria failed because she was a woman who engaged in learning that a woman is not permitted to learn. Her suicide serves as an example and reminder of what can happen to a woman who learns what she is not permitted to.

    Non Political: I am not disagreeing with HaKatan and SomeJew that Z has a halachic status of Kfira / A”Z. I didn’t comment or address that point and simply objected to your putting words in my mouth on a position I may have not yet articulated addressing. The general point I made is that even something clearly prohibited sometimes has exceptions under special circumstances permitting engaging in an otherwise prohibited activity.

    Yaakov Yosef A wrote: “As I mentioned before, I really don’t care either way. It isn’t my place to judge any Yid, let alone Roshei Yeshivos or Rabbonim of any kind. If Rav Ahron Feldman holds something Rabbi Manis Friedman said is problematic, then let them meet each other and discuss it privately. Why do I need to be involved?

    Rav Ahron Feldman shlita made his comments as a public statement, ltoeles harabim. How could you possibly not care? Rav Ahron Feldman made his public comments so that you, and everyone else, should care.

    You seem to not only be saying that Rav Ahron Feldman shlita is wrong, in your view, not you’re calling our Rav Ahron Feldman for making his public statement rather than, as you suggest, he sit down over coffee with Manis Friedman to (quote you) “meet each other and discuss it privately.” Yet Rav Ahron Feldman decided to make a public מחאה.

    Yechiell, sweetheart, take a chill pill and relax.

    Take a look, again, at the OP above. (That means the first post in the thread.) Then look at the date it was posted. Then get an American history book and check who was President then.

    It was way back when Old Joe Biden was still being helped in the Oval Office, trying to figure out if it was the AM or the PM.

    And this thread was initiated for the State of Israel to profusely them the great United States of America while your old man was still in office.

    Non Political: Firstly, I haven’t made a single comment about Kefira and/or A”Z. So it is preplexing what you are hocking in chinik about in addressing that irrelevant question to me.

    But, just to humor you, in order to even answer your potentially false question, first you’ll need to provide the specific names of the specific Gedolim, who told specific individuals who you can name for us right over here, to join the IDF. And the actual timeframe when they allegedly told them that — and your actual verifiable proof it isn’t fiction that belongs in the Bubbe Maaisas files.

    “Charedi Gedolim” is redundant; there are no other Gedolim.

    And, yes, religious Jews, who never asked for the State that triggered a century of violence, shouldn’t serve it.

    And they aren’t needed.

    They are needed in defending Kal Yisroel with their Limud Torah and being Shomer Torah U’Mitzvos; things the secular neglect and refuse to sacrifice for.

    The only difference between Satmar and most of the other Gedolim was how to deal with and interact with the State post facto. Most said you can vote and take money, whereas Satmar holds you cannot vote and cannot accept Israeli government funding.

    Otherwise, Brisk, Agudas Yisroel, the Litvish and the other Chasidish all held and hold the same as Satmar vis-a-vis Zionism.

    The difference is very minor. On virtually all the significant questions they all hold the same.

    ubiq: Yes, very much poorly; especially after you deduct the EHK’s 16,000 fraudulent votes that the WZO is now invalidating and removing.

    But at the end of the day it might not even matter, altogether, since the WZO is considering disqualifying the entire EHK slate entirely, as per the recommendation of its Area Election Committee (AEC), based on the fraud that was uncovered.

    Only third place? The Reform did double as well as the fake-religious so-called “Eretz Hakodesh”. Baruch Hashem the EHK fakers did so poorly.

    But even more than that, the WZO has found that the so-called “Eretz Hakodesh” engaged in widespread fraud. 16,000 votes are suspicious and will be invalidated by the WZO Area Election Committee (AEC). This will reduce EHK even further down. The fraud included reusing the same Gmail addresses with periods and plus signs, in order to sign up and vote multiple times for the same email user. As well as paying with prepaid credit card numbers in order to evade signing up multiple times.

    Figures that the unscrupulous, unprincipled and deceitful EHK, which tried to encourage true Torah Jews to vote in a heretical election by using falsehoods, would engage in such fraud.

    The above was just in the US elections. In the UK election, the WZO postponed the election to a month later due to fraudulent activity where “Eretz Hakodesh” distributed a flyer encouraging husbands to register their wives and children, in what has been determined by the WZO to be a clear incitement to break the rules regarding personal registration only.

    Based on this, the AEC recommended that the full Eretz Hakodesh slate be disqualified altogether from the election.

    The EHK has made WZO founder Theodor Herzl proud.

    Lubavitch has always been strongly anti-Zionist. In fact, the Lubavitcher Rebbes have traditionally been from the most vocal anti-Zionists; Lubavitch is as much anti-Zionist as Satmar and Brisk.
