JB Soloveitchik, The Authentic Impostor

by Rabbi Raphael Bearmant on July 31, 2009

Today I walked into a Seforim store here in Jerusalem. As I was looking for new arrivals my nose got caught by a foul stench. As I followed my nose to see what the source of this terrible smell was, it got stronger and stronger. Eventually, I couldn’t take the smell any longer and was forced to attach a gas mask which I just happened to have handy in my briefcase. I was, however, determined to reveal the source of this dreadful smell. Finally, I arrived at ground zero of this smell and here’s what it was:

The Official Hallachik Imposter

The Official Hallachik Imposter

Please understand that while I have intentionally colored this story, I have not exaggerated at all. Non-Authentic Jewish ideology simply stinks to those who have an authentic sense of Jewish smell.

One of the greatest imposters ever in the history of Judaism was JB Soloveichek, President, or Dean (or whatever) of Yeshiva University. It can be categorically stated that the only thing authentically Jewish about this man was his last name. This name was the disguise in which this sinister enemy of Authentic Jewry cloaked himself almost his entire life.

While it is well known that JB attended the Goyish Berlin University, it is less than common knowledge what he was doing there. He wasn’t studying Judaic Studies. He was studying total and absolute Epikorsus. His doctorate was written about a philosopher named Hermann Cohen who was a member of Moses Mendelssohn’s school of heresy. The title was “Epistemology and Metaphysics of Hermann Cohen”. Feh, feh…

Well, he did have other businesses in Berlin as his sister openly states:

“While in Berlin Jospeh Dov met Tonya Lewitt, a doctoral candidate in educational psychology at the University of Jena. He was attracted by her knowledge, reasoning power, and pragmatic approach to world problems. As their friendship continued, they discovered their love for each other… ” (The Soloveitchik Heritage: A Daughter’s Memoir Page 247) Feh on you again, JB.

If you claim to be an Authentic Jew you MUST face this question:

Can a person who studied the worst type of epikorsus in a goiyshe university in Berlin while “discovering his love” for a female college student be called by any standards “The Rav”?? Face it, Face it, Face it!

The rest of this wicked man’s biography is well known history. For many years he headed the den of iniquity called YU. This institution now proudly boasts of the Gay and other wicked members of its student body and faculty. He was also the chief promoter of the ugly monster called “Modern Orthodoxy” in America and elsewhere.

It is true that many Authentic Jewish authorities refrain from publicly speaking the all-out bitter truth about this man due to not wanting to shame his extremely important grandfather R’ Chaim of Brisk and the rest of the Solovechik family. I, however lack any guilty conscience in this area. Sorry. I think R’ Chaim in Gan Eden will be very grateful to anyone who unmasks imposter Rabbis, even if they are among his progeny.

Reb Aharon Kotler ZATZAL once said: He (JB) is the Acher (a reference to Alisha Ben Avuiya) of our generation. At another instance Reb Aharon remarked that half of the Tumah of America (and that’s a lot) rests on JB’s soldiers. Then he took that back saying, “No! All of it!”. I heard both anecdotes from Reb Aharon’s Talmid Rabbi Yitzchak Waldman ZL who heard it from Reb Aharon himself.

It is time that all authentic Jews unite via a common opinion of impostors such as JB and all other like him.

What an excellent post! For years I have been telling people that the “Rav” was more dangerous than the reform Jews because he introduced his agenda while claiming to be “Orthodox” and positioning himself as a “Rosh Yeshiva.” This is clearly more dangerous.

Amen! Keep spreading the truth about this horrible man and all who follow him. Surely if there was a sanhedrin today many of the YU so-called rabbis would be executed for heresy, avodah zorah, giluy aroyos, or zokein mamrei.

I want to commend you for outing these impostor Rabbits. It gives a lot of chizzuk to people who are fighting them and their talmidim. Sadly, some of these wolves in sheep’s clothing have inflitrated even the charedi velt. Even if they look the part we need to know to exclude them from the machane.

It is also well known that the RAV taught TALMUD to WOMEN. Our Chazal teach us that kol HAMELAMED es bito TORAH melamed osah tiflus. But what is the DIN of the Rav who taught TIFLUS as Torah?

I think he himself is a Tifle, which he was.
