Hershel, when you were on the ballot on Election Day, there was electricity in the air the likes that Lakewood hasn't seen in decades. There were your election posters all over town. Yungerleit by the thousands came out to vote for you. It was the first time that we were going to vote against the Va'ad and the corruption, and the excitement was palpable. Lakewood had hope. Lakewood had a future.
In the end, dear Hershel, you lost and the battle was lost. But the war was not over. It was only the beginning. By putting your name on the ballot, you opened up a pandora's box, and the ball started rolling. There is change in Lakewood, and we are winning the war against the old guard and the corruption. A major victory was the school board election, in which 123 won.
We are winning Hershel, thanks to you. The excitement and electricity in the air on Election Day subsided that evening, but it has carried us forward, and will continue to carry us forward into a brighter future.
Dear Hershel, the same is true about today's asifah. The excitement and electricity that we all feel in the air is because we all know that we are going to an historic event. An event that will bring together more than 60,000 ehrliche yidden from all walks of life, to battle the number one nisayon of our generation - the last generation before the Geulah Shleimah - and we have already hit the 49th level of tumah.
And yes, Hershel, the excitement and electricity that we feel today will continue to guide us into the future, as Klal Yisroel goes through one of its worst crises in its history: The dangers of the internet and what it has wrought on pure innocent Yiddishe kinderlach and Yiddishe families. There will be battles won and lost, but ultimately we will win the war. Because we have to. There is no other choice.
When Mordechai Hatzadik warned his generation about the evils of participating in Achashveirush's party, he was laughed at. Is the party the problem, they asked? Surely there are worse problems! We need to join the party for business purposes, they said. How many thousands of business deals were closed at the party?? And it was all for the lofty goals of parnassah for klal yisroel!! Was Mordechai really the godol hador, they asked. Surely there was some ulterior motive to stop Yidden from going to the party, the people reasoned.
Mordechai was laughed at and ridiculed. And the Yidden went to the party. And evil Haman of Persia plotted.......................... And it took a huge asifah - "Lech Knos es kol Hayehudim" - for the Yidden to do teshuvah, and the ultimate sulvation.
Today, evil Ahmadinejad of Iran-Persia plots. We all know that things will blow up very soon. News reports are predicting that things will heat up over the next few months................
"Lech Knos es kol hayehudim" - we need to do teshuvah from the modern day seudas Achasveirosh - the internet.
So yes, Hershel, I am going to the asifah. Proudly!
Didn't George or Gedalyah together with Ely kleinman kick off the zkan haroshei yeshiva to make the hadran & replaced him with the youngest Rosh yeshiva? A real bizoiyun Hatorah. Balei batim are finally taking over the reins completly.

Haven't the foggeist idea what or whom your talking about - like usual.
Are you referring to George Weinberger, AK's friend?
If so, why now?
Reb Yudel, you are able to confuse all of the people all of the time.
Answer he has been consulted to take over arrangements for the...
When it comes to the Agudah and Torah Umesorah, George likes to run the whole show himself.
Powergrabber.
Period.

You can lead a horse to water, but that doesn't mean you should forget that the early bird catches the worm.
