Cause & Effect

Cause-
When כלל ישראל has מוהלים like Pesach Krohn, Rav Belsky, & the Bais Hatalmud Mohel that doesn't believe in מציצה בפה.

Effect. The City of New York & others want to ban Milah.

The Bais Hatalmud Mohel isn't he a Zimmerman? A shandah on Bais Hatalmud.

Rav Belsky's hands shake. His haughtiness is beyond belief.

He became a "min" at least as of late, but it may go back a while.

And Paysach Krohn is still butchering the kids. Does he shave on Chol Hamoed also? His Shave? It's a very close cut, I wouldn't accuse him finding a heter for "tahr".

Can I ask a question? No doubt those in government trying to stop metzitza are no tzadikim who don't like Bris mila bichlal. But we are not chassidishe & hold there are two shitos. So if it were proven that metzitza is dangerous why make all this fuss? We should be stopping metzitza on our own

Very interesting collaboration of R' Hillel David with Kashau & Galant that are from the most kanoyish & extreme elements of Hungarians

Why wouldn't anyone else sign?

Maybe it was a Hungarian idea & they could only find two Litvaks to join them

Yudel, how dare you criticize Krohn! Don't you know that he was interviewed by a Yeshiva World reporter outside the Citifield toilets, angrily expressing that bloggers like you who expose him "should be put in cherem"?

What!? said...

Yudel, Rav Belsky is one of the biggest defenders of Metzizah Bpeh, has signed on numerous kol korehs defending it, there was a front page of Ami in elul where he said this happened in NY because mohels aren't careful with it (which ironically is what you are saying on him).
This is pure libel without facts on your part. Call Rommie Cohen or any big mohel in Brooklyn and you'll see how wrong you are about Belsky (in this case). Or ask the editor at Ami for the recording of the interview. Or ask Bloomberg who Belsky spoke to a few times how they shouldn't stop Metzizah Bpeh. These are all well known public facts that any one in New York can verify for you. A non religious doctor who is against metzizah recently told me we all know Belsky's opinion on this....

How dishonest can you be?

1. NYC does not want to ban MBP. They have only ordered that people who want to practice it are aware of the risks.

2. R. Belsky is a vocal opponent of Bloomberg's disclosure requirement and met with him personally-something none of you bloggers have done.

3. R. Pirutinsky's Sefer HaBris which received haskomos from the major Litvishe Roshei Yeshiva was clearly a proponent of the use of a Kash. R. Shlomo Hakohen, the MoTZ of Vilna was a proponent. R. Ahron Soloveichik personally told me that his zeide R. Chaim assered metzitzah b'peh. R. Eliyahu Zimmerman's father R. Mordechai who was trained in milah in Vilna was mayid that MBP was NOT done in Vilna. And there is a wealth of information supporting this position from other rabbonim of yesteryear, like the Mishne Berurah. This is not to discount those gedolim who require MBP. But it is far from universal. In fact, it is reasonably argued that the Rabonei Lita were not noheig to practice MBP-they used a kash.

Either position is fine with me. They are both normative halacha with a mesorah. I suggest that it is our lashon hara and nivul peh that has created a problematic situation with metzitzah b'peh.

And of course maybe it is reversed! The elevation of a minhag that most PoskiM, Litvish and otherwise did NOT believe was an integral part of the Mitzvah (see MB and Sefer Habris) into a must do part of the Mitzvah will put the entire Mitzvah at risk for tow reason. Firstly, many none Frum Jews are no longer having Brisim done, as they believe the Health Dept etc that MBP is dangerous, and Secondly by claiming that MBP is part of the Mitzvah of Milah, it will allow the Health Dept to ban the entire procedure (which we all know they would love to do anyway!)

Belsky is a "moiker arkois shel akum".
One that doesn't believe in the Torah's mesorah is posul to be a mohel.

Rav eliyashev, Z"L said one moy not rely on Rav Belsky's "heteirim", as it's not based on the facts nor on the Halacha.

Wassup Brotha? said...

Zimmerman & Krohn's disease also circumcise Black "Hebrews". Ain't no mesora from Vilna on that!

What's with all of the Gedoilim against Belsky? About time.

Rav Belsky is a big Talmut Chochum,( don't look at his teshuvas).

If there would be the Sanhedrin, he'd be taken up on charges of a zukon-mamrei.(reserved for Talmidei Chachomim only.

its all agudah and hamodia falt that what happens when you endorse bloomberg for his money shame on you all!!

I am against MBP for many reasons but Rav Elyashev ztl warned that Bloomberg & company have designs to asser all bris milah and this is to get their foot in the door. The Mayor is a meshumad who lives with a shiksa. He had reportedly become at one point an apostate to Episcopalianism but started identifying as a Yid again because it is more advantageous in NYC politics.

Just confirming that there is nothing wrong with saying Loshon Hara.

Right?

Just double checking.

Ostrich with head in the sand said...

I heard a rumor that Halacha allows lashon hora which is for toyeless to protect yourself but I'm not mekabel so I guess what the previous comment bavorns is an excellent point!

What's wrong with living with a shiksa?

Ram catering has done events at out of state hotels that were not under OU and were seemingly less than OU standard

Ram Catering does does NO jobs that are not under the OU.

Ram Catering STAFF does catering with other hashgachas, such as Passover programs.

OU Crony Watch said...

Genius, if it's Ram staff then why didn't the owner Auerbach do something to stop them from using the corporate name. Their have been Passover retreats advertised using the Ram name & you know it.

OU Crony Watch said...

NY Times reporting that a yogurt company owned by a Yishmaeli that is OU certified has gone from nothing to $1 billion in 5 years and is opening a huge facility in Idaho.

Who is in Idaho besides a single Lubav and a bunch of neo-Nazis? Who will the OU come up with after they scrounge the bottom of the barrel for a mashgiach?

If we Yidden would be careful with Shmerias HaBriss this would not happen, because we don't watch our eyes heart and hands etc. that gives them the strength to fight us regarding doing A Briss the right way.



We have to have Chizuk in Smiras HaBriss and this problem will go away faster then it came.




It's up to us to make the difference and make Hashem happy the way we're Shomer Ha Briss.

Nothing wrong with saying:

We Cooked in BMG or Ram Caterers.....when advertising that "we" are great cooks. There is not too much anyone can do about it, if its true. ( It may even be a free plug for them).

Stop thinking and blogging like a horse.

Who Cares What Rabbi Dovid Cohen Has To Say. Rav Lazer Ginzburg Gets up in Public and Calls Dovid Cohen from Gvul Yavetz A Rasha, and Tells Everyone It Is Ossur To Listen To any of His "Piskei Halacha"

Much of R' Dovid Cohen's crowd from anywhere are originally Chaim Berliners just like he is.
