Living With the Chasidim in Samarkand and Tashkent ift.tt/7yhOAig

Tishah Be’av was instituted to commemorate the churban habayis, but it has also been traditionally expanded to include all subsequent national Jewish tragedies, products of the galus we are in since the churban. This thread collects Holocaust testimonies by Chabad chasidim.

@AgudahNews BH I think you should lobby for a permanent standard time.

Statement of Agudath Israel of America on House Passage of Permanent Daylight Saving Time Today the U. S. House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act by a wide majority. Agudath Israel of America and its constituents understand the popular desire to “lock the clock.” We are concerned, however, that by choosing permanent daylight saving time (DST) for the entire country it will put children at risk and affect our religious practices. Permanent DST would mean sunrises after 9 am in some parts of the country for weeks in the winter thereby causing many of America's schoolchildren to head for school - by foot, by bicycle, or by bus - in the pre-sunrise darkness amd putting them at increased risk. For the Orthodox Jewish community, an unintended, yet compelling, consequence of such legislation is the effect it will have on our fundamental religious practices. In Jewish law, morning prayers, and the rituals associated with them, must be recited no earlier than at specified times. The later sunrise occurs; the later synagogue services must begin. The extension of DST will create an extreme hardship on observant Jews. It would be extraordinarily difficult - if not impossible - to arrive on time for a job and will effect the start time of our schools. The last time this happened in the 1970's the popularity of the measure dropped dramatically once Americans experienced one dark winter and Congress had to reverse itself within a year. We are hopeful that the Senate will consider all of the effects of DST and compare them to the effects of permanent standard time or maintaining the status quo before rushing into this major change.

R. Monye Moneszon Defends the Rebbe Maharash 2 Iyar marks 192 years from the birth of the Rebbe Maharash. From the Margins of Chabad History relates an episode from the contemporary press that gives us a glimpse of the respect in which he was held. Some additional tidbits:

A newly discovered illustration by the renowned chasidishe artist, Reb Zalman Kleinman, depicting Shevii shel Pesach night in Kfar Chabad. Sketched in pencil or charcoal in 1956, this piece is from the early years of his artistic career.

When Chabad Royalty Reached the Edge of the World The Australia series continues, relating the story of R. Chaim Yaakov Slonim, a great-grandson of the Mitteler Rebbe who helped strengthen frum life in Ballarat and Melbourne at the turn of the century. Some additional tidbits:

@TheLoneMisnaged 2. One can read the shiurim from Rav Eber, which were recunstructed from these Talmidims memories here: hebrewbooks.org/30469 hebrewbooks.org/30478 I think this quilifies for typical yeshivish type of learning. No need for this disgusting bile.

@TheLoneMisnaged BH 1. I just want to continue with one more point, even though this is a useless conversation with an ignorant writer. If someone wants to know what the Lubavitcher did while in exile, they sat there chazzering the Shiurim of their Rosh Yeshiva Reb Yudel Eber.

This book repeats the false allegations that Chabad cooked up about ועד הצלה, the greatest rescue organization of the war. Keep such poison off the shelves. And to my Lubavitcher friends: the Seventh Rebbe האט פארשטאנן אן עסק a lot more than his FIL. He didn't buy these lies

@TheLoneMisnaged BH i truly finished, with you, as I see the level of this conversation. However, I won't wish you הצלחה רבה, because why would I want to you have הצלחה in such negative nature.

@nachum_s הצלחה רבה

@TheLoneMisnaged BH We don't know, and maybe's are not enough reason to call lived experiance as poison.

@nachum_s In closing, we don’t know if they were discriminated against, if yes to what extent, and what the nature of the funds were (maybe they were raised by R’ Avrohom Kalmonovitch specifically for Mir?) and what may have been the reasons.

@TheLoneMisnaged BH Oh, nice. Imagine I told you that in order to recieve rightly deserved money, you need to leave your Yeshiva and join mine to get the money (by the way the taano is not on Rav shmuelvitz but whoever gave the order).

@nachum_s D) He states R’ Chaim Shmuelevitz invited the Chabad group to join Mir to partake the special funds but they refused because they were afraid their chasidus would suffer . If true it’s very commendable that they were willing to be מוסר נפש but they can’t complain.

@TheLoneMisnaged BH Ok, now you are saying that these people made their memoirs. nothing to argue with this.

@nachum_s C) There were thousands of Jews stuck in Shanghai who were not affiliated with yeshivas who also did not receive the special funds yet they all survived, as did the boys from Chabad. The Vaad did not “starve” anybody.

@TheLoneMisnaged BH But here are some points for you (well not you, you may be beyond hope, i mean the readers), the VH was fundraising from all jews, including people who came form chabad stock. I dont think they told them, that when they are collecting for talmidim they dont mean chabad

@TheLoneMisnaged BH More nonsensical poison

@TheLoneMisnaged BH some more of this hearsay

@nachum_s (They were even upset at certain Litvishe Roshei Yeshiva in America who did their own fundraising outside the Vaad . R’ Leizer Silver threatened to resign over this).
