‘Kedushas Tziyon’ Needs Your Help

The ‘Kedushas Tziyon‘ foundation distribute their monthly pamphlet all over Charedi neighborhoods in Israel. Thank God, they receive no government aid.

Now they seek to publish an English-language version in the US. This costs money.

בעקבות אמותינו

הנה המנון תנועת בתיה של אגודת ישראל, “עבריות אנחנו”:

 

עבריות אנחנו, בנות עם ישראל

עבריות לעולם, נהיה נשאר

ובשם עמינו בו בחר הקל

בשם זה נתגאה, נדגול, נתפאר.

דתו – דתנו, שפתו – שפתנו

קדשיו – קדושים גם לנו

עברו הנהדר אמץ יאמצנו

ותקוותיו נקוה גם אנו.

תורתו היא לנו יפה ונאה

לא נראה בה כל מום ומגרעת

אשר היא מצוה, נעשה, נשמעה

ומטרת חיינו אותה לדעת.

…

 

שאר המילים הם כאן בפורום פרוג.

Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

I feel uneasy at the election results. The elites worked so hard to defeat Trump; will they back down so fast because the voters voted?

Not that Trump is so much less harmful than Clinton in my own opinion. Read this realist extract from Ron Paul, for instance:

…

Republican candidate Donald Trump misses the point. He promises to bring back jobs to America without any understanding of the policies that led to their departure in the first place. Yes, he is correct that the middle class is in worse shape than when Obama took office, but not once did he mention how it happened: the destructive policies of the Federal Reserve. The financing of our warfare/welfare state through the printing of phony money. Distorted interest rates that encourage consumption and discourage saving and investment.

Trump tweeted this week that home ownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years. He promised that if elected he will bring back “the American dream.” He seems to have no idea that home ownership is so low because the Fed-created housing bubble exploded in 2007-2008, forcing millions of Americans who did not have the means to actually purchase a home to lose their homes. Not a word about the Fed from Trump.

But he was too oppositional for their tastes. The elites thought he was dangerous for their interests. So that’s it?!

There is now a court case against Brexit. In Bet Shemesh, new elections were called. Trump didn’t buy assassination insurance (choosing an even more displeasing VP).

re: The Satmar Rebbe’s Omission

We wrote this about the Satmar Rebbe:

…

And this strengthens my case that Rabbi Yoel erred in his opus by not attacking the positive commandment of rebuilding the Holy Temple. If you want to destroy Judaism, undermining the Jewish tongue, Jewish sovereignty, and the Jewish land are a good start, yet insufficient. He should have realized: the next frontier will be the Jewish Temple, and he will have had no credit in trying to prevent it. But of course, Rabbi Yoel was anything but prescient.

I would like to add that in his ‘Divrei Yoel’ Rabbi Tetelbaum even takes the position that the Holy Temple will first be built by man before it “comes down from heaven”.
