There is a glaring omission in the list of local Rabbanim (lightweight attention seekers) that of Horav Mendel Achpur shlita. Until such time that he signs all are to take extreme caution !!

Yankel Bender has been instrumental in spreading תורה הקדושה and certainly is deserving of credit for that. He is not a Posek or a noted תלמיד חכם and thus one wonders why the Bais Hvadd posts his approbation in large and on top of the proclamation. It would seem that the Bais Hvadd is trying to get the sheep to stay in the coral and or trying to win a popularity contest

For those who don't know Reb Mendel Achpur shlita he was formerly commonly known as Mendel the mouse (עכבר=mouse 🐀)

How about a copy we can actually read?

Not so glaring. I never heard of him. No caution necessary.

Mostly a bunch of guys whose semicha hasn’t dried yet and a good few of them work in the Bais vaad

This whole issue is just a popularity contest.

The constant barrage of pay to play messages from the Bais Hvadd is highly disturbing. I don't think it assuages anyone's concerns about the Bais Hvadd. On the contrary, the consistent need to defend itself is most disconcerting. The results of an attitude of "my Rabbi is bigger than your Rabbi" leaves the average individual bewildered and at a loss of whom to trust. This is a calamity, worthy of attention.

Does that mean he's a character invented by the rebbitzen of R' Binyomin Finkelstein, BMG Mashgiach Gashmi?

On Matzav at least the advertising may have been free because one of it's owners (who denies he's an owner) is Pinny Lipschutz

Yankel Bender is with the oylam Hatorah??? Oh! Because when he boasts about Darchei "Torah" to the moneyed Lawrence crowd, he emphasizes that it's a prep school for Harvard (or at least he was before the Hamas pogrom opened a snif there)

Philly supporter said...

The nerve of these people questioning Yankel's credentials!!!! Are you not aware that he was wearing a frock - even before the Lakewood Matzos Bakery photo ops was a zach????

Anonymous said...

Actually some are literally and figuratively quite small

Anonymous said...

Some say the frock is because he consumed too many matzos aside from the exquisitely catered nightly dinners as such, your proof of his exalted position is faulty. Try again! 😞
