The Isshur Mafia, should have them all fill out Pell grant applications so it will be a win win situation, and a bagel & shmear for them.

R' Immanuel Schochet was the rov of the Kielcer kehilla (pronounced Keltzer) in Canada for 40 years before it merged with the Agudah. He is now rov of an alter Lubavitcher kehilla whose oylam are chassidim of the Rebbe before MM. His father was a talmid of Telz in Lita and the rov of Basel Schweiz before the churban and The Hague Holland after the churban.

R' Immanuel is a mumche on inyanei shmad and writes here that Shmuely Boteach's new book on Yoshka is kefira mamash and enhances the agenda of missionaries.

You may have heard about the recent halacha teshuva from Rav Bleich in the RJJ halacha journal. Rav Bleich, who is a tremendous talmid chochom, is not exactly a fanatic, and after painstakingly going through the inyan of anisakis for 37 pages, he emerges that things look compellingly lechumra like Rav Elyashev and the gedolim - NOT lekula like Belsky.

Obviously, people are interested in getting their hands on this RJJ issue, except there are some "technical" difficulties. The megalomaniac Marvin Schick, who you would think is busy with a whole host of bigger things like running a law practice, distributing UJA money to all the frum and secular day schools in the country, and acting as a paid Agudah proxy for propaganda and smear campaigns, has personally inserted himself into the journal's distribution and is allegedly not allowing seforim stores to receive it unless they place very large orders which is not worth their while. He is actually the one who gets on the phone to boss them around.

Oh wait, did I say that Schick is an Agudah proxy? I did. He is paid to write whatever the Agudah tells him and since Gary Rosenblatt at Jewish Week will overlook the shitos of his rebbe Emmanuel Rackman when he's getting paid handsomely, Gary disguised for years what are paid Agudah ads to look like editorials. Schick also runs a silly blog where he attacks anyone that the Agudah paints a target on.

The million dollar question is does the Agudah have a dog in this fight to protect Belsky and cover up for most of the American hashgochos that have a profit-driven agenda to ignore the problem with worms? It would not be the first time that the Agudah has made sure politics trump kashrus like how they force feed Rubashkin meat davka to all the fressers at their events ad hayom despite that the Rubashkin family single-handedly brought down kashrus standards in America plus allegedly worse things than that. The Agudah did decide to rehabilitate Belsky this year after he was persona non grata for years at all their events. It certainly comes at a very strange time when Rav Elyashev is telling people that Belsky hot nisht ne'emonus and R' Dovid Feinstein was forced to come out with a letter that someone (Belsky, shhh!) is saying things in the tatten's R' Moishe's name l'heter about anisakis that are incorrect.

" R' Immanuel is a mumche on inyanei shmad"

Sorry guys. You forgot our good and close 'friend' Spotlight from 'deh alte k'hilla oif medropoliticanten gasseh (Known today as Metropolitan Avenue).
His mumchus spread on the lomdos and the know how of Shmading (with the aid of a non-restricted internet).

By the time you get through the comment from 'Conspiracy theory', with all the r'chiloos, moitzey shem rah, loshon horah and stam sheker that he spews out, you know why yiddishkeit has fallen to lowest level ever.

Heyos that VHQ is one of the hashgochos following the "lead" of the OU's posek on anisakis. It was to be expected that Chaim would lash out in that anonymous comment less than an hour later at 3:30 pm.

Sounds about right. Marvin's nephew Michael is the caterer at the convention serving Rubashkin fleish. Stay away from the meat carving table when they are doling out the pastrami. With all the competitive shtupping, someone could get hurt!

And I wonder if the checks from Agudah to Gary Rosenblatt were ferried over in person by Chaim Schwartz when he worked at 84 William St.
