A man in Qatar, by the name of Mashal ordered a copy of vayoel Moshe- ויואל משה the sefer written by Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, previous Satmar Rebbe in 1961. The order was placed online at Z. Berman Jewish Bookstore. Rav Yochy Berman of Z. berman books in an interview to Kol mevaser news line said that the credit card was declined and they tracked the IP address to Qatar. The man emailed them about his order to which they are checking into why the credit card was declined. This book is considered one of utmost importance by Satmar Chasidim who follow the Satmar doctrine regarding Zionism.
And look at the status on the receipt? It says declined!
ReplyDeleteThis must have been a prankster who called in with false information. It was declined

Mr Al-Sowadi is now an honourable businessman in Qatar, a country with great influence in Middle-east politics.
He may even have been amongst a Qatari delegation who met recently with the Satmar Rebbe (R'A) to understand the great difference between Torah-Jews and the Zionists.
A small Kiddush Hashem of treating ALL people with respect can go a long way in creating harmony.
