Reb Elye Ber Wachtfogel has strong words about Frum news Website posting picture to be mevazeh gedolim.
Speaking to his Talmidim Yesterday after Shiur Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva gedolah of South Fallsburg, spoke out very strongly against the frum website that published the picture and video of a man holding a sign against Rav Shteinman. The point was to portray all those gedolim and those who attended the Atzeres as if they are in agreement in being Mevazeh a gadol. The Rosh Yeshiva had very strong words to the owners of the site.
Why would the Rosh yeshiva even rechen zich with a website and give it a makom.? is this the first avlah?
ReplyDeletehow does he know what goes on in the websites?
ReplyDeletea gutteh kasheh The talmidim must inform him, where else would they get their news from?
DeleteRav Wachtfogel is a true Godol who is not intimidated, he followed the directions of the Gadol Hador and the brother of his Rabbo Muvhak Zt"l Hagoan Rav Dovid Solovatzick Shlit"a
ReplyDeleteEven Rav Shtienman always sat before Rav Dovid as a Talmid (he is originally from Brisk as well)and his son Rav Moshe learned by Rav Dovid Shlit"a for 25years or so.
I am sure the information of the web site was given to him by a Talmid

ReplyDeleteyou wana tell me that once you join the 770 temimim, you become a real tam? how did the rebbe know (ill choose one example) about some broken mirrors?
btw you cried in your blog that you have rachmonus on those who don't feel the kedushe of today? (that's the toichen) how come in such a gehoibene day, you have time to be mevatel zman and masiach daas about some litvak?
Didnt the baal haWebsite in check learn in Fallsberg?

ReplyDeleteAfter the passing moran rav elya zatzal it was going to take time for a true leader to emerge. Speak his mind and do whats right. IM gratified that day has come. Although i was not there. this sunday was a great day for klal yisroel as daas torah prevailed. For those who follow the ways of brisk and rav schach and in america the ways of rav aaron kotler vitalmidav. leaders who Were uncompromising and torah true ideals lead. This past sunday a leader finnaly arose to say and do whats right. A man who rav shach asked to lead ponenves yeshiva One who will continue the mesorah of rav aaron and the great roshei yeshiva who survived the war. And built torah betaharah here and in ey vnizkeh chulanu meherah loro
ReplyDeleteWhichever Gadol you are reffering to, he does not need your haskama. A Gadol is not someone who agrees with your shittos. It is You who must follow al Smol shehu Yemin val Yemin shhu Smol.
DeleteTrue but im disscussing reality the yeshiva world here in america for veriose reasons has a major leadership vacume. As the dor was educated with certain hashkofos by there roshei yeshiva and rebbeim. When a person looks for a leader to follow they usually look for someone from there school of thought. This does not minimize other gedolims gadlus. At the same time it does not mean they would be excepted as a manhig
