Lakewood, Wherefore Art Thou?


Oh, my Rosh Yeshivas, where is your public statement after the Neturei Karta marched with Palestinian Terrorists here in NYC? Is this how the world should view the slaughter of Jews, with acceptance and silence, with only dummies with beards and hats out there to say a "Jewish/Yiddishe" view?! I see movements to publicly denounced remove ourselves from Madoff, but not these guys? We're only concerned when it's about money? Where is the leadership? Weather or not you support the government of Israel, by not speaking up PUBLICLY you are encouraging these actions. Silence implies consent. Remember the silence of the Holocaust (that right wing Yeshivas don't even teach about anymore). There were Kinnos written after the fact. Personally, I'd rather be saying Hallel for miracles. Let's show a bit of Achdus. I'm waiting...

Yeah, Achdus is what we need.

If you're waiting for our Rosh Yeshivas to stand up and provide real leadership for our communities, then I'm afraid that you're going to be waiting for a very long time.

Mike- Yes, we certianly do need Achdus. Will the real Rosh Yeshivas please stand up...
SuperRaizy-I've been waiting for Moshiach, why not this? Oh, you mean leadership is never coming...

As many issues as I have with yeshivas, one thing I have to say is that they do bash the NK. I've seen Rabbis from right-wing yeshivas screaming at NK members in middle of the street.

MO, if that's true, it's good news. I'd like to see it in a more public forum such as the Yated or other right wing paper
