| Agudah convention ad |
What seemed a bit shocking and surprising was an advertisement with a purple graphic background. Its a ad banner on VIN for the upcoming 2014 Agudah convention. It was not long ago that Rabbonim came out with a ban on VIN website. Not only that, but that website wrote an op-ed piece to the Novominsker Rebbe who heads the Agudah. How can the Agudah advertise on a site that gives a platform to the haters of Torah, full of lashon hora, bizuy talmidei chachomim, making fun of kol davar shebikduah.Also surprising is, Agudah, who is the from the only national frum organization that has yet to have an official website, have launched a website for the upcoming Agudath Israel of America national convention.
Either VIN changed for the better or the Agudah is taking a new step.
I imagine that it was perhaps a PR firm that deciced where the advertising dollars should go. I don't think that anyone at Agudah was aware that they were advertising in VIN.
ReplyDeleteThat excuse will not fly. There are many Agudists that are active on social media and the web. It should have been brought to the attention of those in charge. If it is not an ideal website, the firm should have been told about it.
DeleteI'm happy to see you made a post after my earlier comment bringing this up. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDidn't post over Yom Tov
ReplyDeleteSo you'd rather run a dictatorship religion where nobody is allowed to speak out, and if they do ,they're called Torah haters , etc... You want 'yes" men and women, and this is North Korean policy not Judaism.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that the ad is still up. (I sent them an email about it a week ago, expecting that the ad would disappear fast.)
ReplyDeleteThis convention is all about...YOU and YOUR views!! (The i- generation)
ReplyDeleteWhen Aguda baalei-batim seek additional Daas Baalei-batim (baal hameah=baal hadeah), their natural home is VIN etc!
