Chaptzem Blog!      

I disagree with anonymous 8:35. Violence is violence. Those who smash windows will eventually smash people. (those who burn books will eventually burn sheitels?)

 

you guys are realy crazy

 

please dont compare it to six million jews that were killed please have some mercy on all those that have relatives that were killed in the war

PLEASE REMOVE THOSE PICTURES

 

MIGHT THERE BE SOME TRUTH TO THE OPINION THAT EITHER ANTISEMITES TRY TO DESTROY US, OR WE TRY TO DESTROY EACH OTHER.

 

Why do you say "what's next"? It already happened in Israel on a bus.
I think Reb Chaptzem deserves credit for this. Violence is violence, and is not the Torah way.

 

chaptzem, i think i know why you're so hung up on Dicci. You own it & you want publicity!!!!!

seriosly, why don't you give up onthem already????

 

While I agree that the comparison to Kristallnacht is a bit over the top, I understand and agree with Chaptzem's frustration at various elements of the neighborhood.

Rabosai, the point of this post is that since we survived the lawless behavior of the Nazis, did Hashem spare use so we should breaks the laws against our fellow Jews?!

If you don't like a clothing store, you are free to use the means allowed for under the law and Halacha to make your feelings known. Neither the law nor Halacha permits you to break the store's windows or to publish libelous leaflets.

What is wrong with Borough Park today? Block your neighbor's driveway? No problem. Throw garbage in the street? Also all right.

Collectively, this is all one big Chilul Hashem.

 

Because of one menuvell we as a neighborhood is suffering.

The one throwing the pashkevillen, are you ready to pay the sanitation ticket that i received in front of my house becuase of your garbage?

 

You are right on the mark with the comparison to Kristallnacht. The Nazis did not just come one day and start murdering the Jews. They built up to it over a good few years. Kristallnacht was just a prelude and when they saw they could get away with that, they then moved it to the next level.
Before Kristallnacht could occur there had to be a radicalization of the youth and the culture in general. One of the the means of that was public book burnings of anything that did not fit in with Nazi weltenshaung. There is a famous quote from a German playright of the 19th century that those who burn books will eventually burn people. And so it was. And unfortunately so it seems to be the direction we ourselves are heading in led by overzealous fanatical rabbis with the aquiescence by silence of the other rabbis.
