Do you think that expressing ideas carries responsibility? In other words if somebody writes a book with ideological ideas and then those ideas have an effect on someone causing him to do something wrong, is the initial writer also to blame?

(This is an issue in the non-Torah world. Did you know that bad ideas have wrought more havoc on mankind than the greatest of plagues and disasters. This is a book worth reading: 10 Books That Ruined the World)

However according to the Torah the answer is: Such a person is absolutely liable.

Now of course there is a difference if someone misconstrues a writer’s ideas for his own need. However, if he is simply taking those ideas to their logical extreme, then the writer and/or creator of those ideas will be held totally responsible for the outcome.

When we look back in history and try to contemplate the amount of wickedness that has come to the world because of ideas by authentic impostors of Judaism like Kook and JB, it is without a doubt that the fire of Gehinnom which is burning them gets hotter everyday.

College, Zionism, The Israeli Army, Znus, Obortion, the Rah-Banut, Homosexuality etc. The list goes on and on. All these and many other terrible phenomena all have their roots in the ideology of JB and Kook.

As readers of this blog already know, the Authentic Jewish stand regarding AY HaKohen Kook is that he was a rerun of Shabtai Tzvi. (Shabtai Tzvi had is own personal Navi, Nathan of Azzah, just like Yoshke had John for his invented Eliyahu. Kook had a navi named YM Charlop).

However we are making a special offer to those readers who have not seen the light, yet. It goes like this:

What type of heresy, if found in Kook’s writings, would convince YOU that we are dealing with an Epikorus? And then we will suply that information and publish it on-line. For instance if you say: “If it could be shown that Kook wrote that Adam HaRishon didn’t really exist (Afar LiPumei) that would convince me” – we will show you where he says just that. You make the rules! Give it a try!

Just one note: If you say “nothing could convince me”, you are saying that you are not an Authentic Jew.

It is well known the importance of Mishnios study. The great Rabbi Yossef Karo ZL recevied a Maggid in the merit of his knowledge of the entire six sedarim of the Mishnah.

However even the most important Mitzvah should never allow us to stoop to the low level of using non-authentic Jewish means to acquire it.

It is a real pity to see authentic Jews purchasing the Mishnios with the commentary of Pinchas KeHati.

This Pinchas Kehati was NOT an authentic Jew. He was a strong supporter of the the Zionist movement.

His Mishnios were printed for many years (without the commentary of the Holy Rav Bartinura) by the notorious Heichal Shlomo institute, (about which The Brisker Rav ZATZAL commented that it was one of the only two things which bothered his great kavannah in reading the Shema.)

The Holy Steipler Goan explicitly said NOT to use the Kehati Mishnios edition.

(All these issues are besides the fact that his commentary is in many places in error)

For those Mishnios lovers there is a wonderful commentary (which makes Kehati look like nothing) called Siyata DeShamyah which was authored by a great Talmid Chacham and an authentic Jew. (Or if you need English get the Artscroll Yad Avraham commentary)

According to the official Mishpacha website the head of the “Rabbinic” board of the magazine is Rabbi Doniel Neustadt. This Rabbi is (or was) a head of a Young Israel Congregation.

Question: Is a Young Israel “Rabbi” the standard that you want your house (wife, children etc.) exposed to on a regular basis?

Be honest, answer truthfully.

[update: I think he is a grandson of Rabbi Yaakov Kaminetsky ZAL. However that in itself means nothing. Dov Shurin (the frum, crazy, self-proclaimed drug addict) is also a grandson of Reb Yaakov.

Hello Friends. I have had a very hectic schedule lately which has prevented me from giving my blog the attention it deserves. I will be updating soon.

One thing I would like to say:

I get a lot of spam comments on my blog as I am sure many bloggers do. Some of them are about medications. However, many of them read: “Want to hear a joke….” Some of the jokes are actually quite amusing in good taste, however some are vulgar…

The biggest joke which I have received so far was a comment that what we have written about JBS (Josef Dov Soloveicheck, or Just ……) or about Avraham Kook constitute Lashon Harah or Bizui Talmidei Cachamim. Wow! That was so hilarious it knocked me off my chair.

All these hypocrites should sometime, before they die, read at least once the works of the Chofetz Chaim.

Stay Tuned…

Jossef Bear Soloveitchik (JBS) was the son of R’ Moshe Soloveicthik  who was the son of the Great R’ Chaim Brisker.

Moshe Soloveitchik’s wife introduced great amounts of secular literature into the domestic nest, poisoning the family atmosphere.

The Great Reb Chaim is quoted as saying that his foresight made only two mistakes in life. World War I and Moshe Soloveichek’s Shiduch.

JBS went to Berlin University and studied Apikorsus (the philosophy of Hermann Kohen from the Mendelson school of thought.)

If one intentionally inserts himself into an atmosphere of Epikorsus, like a university, it is permitted to speak freely Lashon Harah about that person – Kitzur HilChos Lashon Harah, Haim Frieman Bnei Brak 1983, pg 34.

JBS’s thesis seems to has disappeared and is nowhere to be found! We demand that his family and YU make it available for public scrutiny!

While in Berlin he discovered his love for his future wife Tanya Lewitt.

What does “discovering his love” mean, studying Kant together at the University library? Come on Mrs. Meiselmann, talk English!

We demand that the Soloveichick family describe, in all it’s ugly detail, what exactly was the nature of their pre-marital relationship!

JBS’ father attempted to get JBS a job teaching at the Schechter Theological Seminary. (I lost my reference on this, but you YU historians must have it on hand somewhere). That means he attempted to work for a Conservative Seminary.

JBS headed YU for many years. YU promoted and promotes  non-authentic Jewish ideology. Every Authentic Gadol beTorah held to this opinion.

Yes, it is true that almost every Gadol beTorah in America showed no public animosity towards JBS. Some also showed friendship, publicly, towards him.

This was a tactical behavioral decision on their part. They were simply concerned that if they would distance him further from Authentic Judaism, more than he had already distanced himself, this could cause a domino effect and many simpleminded Jews who were followers of JBS could go lost.

This is, for obvious reasons, not applicable today. Today “JBism” is today nothing less than a cult that has to be done away with.

In private forums JBS was clearly classified and abhorred by Authentic Gedolim for the impostor he really was.

Rabbi Aharon Kotler called JBS “Acher”, and said that all the Tumah of America rest upon his shoulders.

During his lifetime JBS undermined Authentic Jewish morals. The most famous one was his cowardly refusal to support the ban on girls being drafted into the Zionist army. Rabbi Kotler and Rabbi Mendel Zaks, the son in law of the Chofetz Chaim, wanted his cooperation and were unsuccessful getting it.

There were other areas where he undermined Authentic Jewish Halacha (See letters of R’ Eliezer Shach vol 4, 36)

His institution today enrolls openly declared homosexuals and other weirdos. How is this possible? Do the math.

JBS’s Divrei Torah are a Chulant of Breslov hallucinations, Kantian Philosophy, and Brisker Chilukim . We can accurately say that they are insignificant garbage and not worth the paper they are printed on.

Many members of JB’s family have returned to Authentic Judaism, like the Meiselman family as well as others.

The (Authentic) Brisker Rav ZATZAL related the following anecdote about his father, the Holy Reb Chaim ZATZAL:

When he (the Brisker Rav) was a child, on Tisha BeAv, Reb Chaim saw him talking to another child in the Synagogue.

Reb Chaim asked him as to the subject of their conversation.

The Brisker Rav said that he related the famous Gemara in Gitin about the Churban.

Reb Chaim continued: “And what did the other boy say to you?”

His son said: That a certain “scholarly” work quotes this Gemarah with a different Girsa than that of the Gemara.

Immediately R’ Chaim raised his voice and said “You must know that this boy is an epikorus, It is forbidden to stand in his 4 Amos, and his wine is forbidden…

Pearls of Wisdom from the Brisker Rav, Bnei Brak 5769, Pg 33.

It looks obvious that Reb Chaim saw things that many others overlooked. Baruch Hashem we have Authentic Gedolei Yisroel!
