As part of Reb Shaul Alter’s kehila I can say one thing, Rabbi Pupco didn’t even touch the tip of the iceberg.

Kudos to VIN for putting some emes out there while GER is busy making a grouse PR campaign about there BECHINA on shas back in March, as if that will somehow Kasher their Machlikes and chillul shabbos Befarhesia….Woe to us Klal Yisroel that this is where we’re at…Our gedoilim and mashpiim have sunk to such lows that they cover up some maaasim….

When I wrote my comment that Rabbi Pupko did not even touch the tip of the iceberg I meant on the morning version of the podcast which was like ten minutes longer than this one but this version is just like nothing.
I understand that for fear of ger like the rest of the gedolim we can’t really blame VIN for taking out parts of the pod cast I guess we have to be satisfied that at least someone let speak up in public a drop.
Hashem runs the world and we could only rely on hashem that he will bring justice to all those who are rodeph harav shaul Alter and his kehila.

Everything is directed directly by the so called Gerrer Rabbi , hiding in the name of a vaadah !

where are the ger defenders who posted on here in the past? Whats the justification for this? Yes I get it R Shaul’s guys sent a drone on a loud speaker when the reba was on a bies hakvoros. Grosa chutzpah. And yes Ger is right for brain washing those girls to leave bec the house is dysfunctional. Its just a coincidence that they care so much about dysfunctional homes when the parents go to the rosh yeshiva. Ger really would have done the same if the parents were loyal. Its all lshem shomaim and for the best of the children. And so this family had the chutzpah to take a drone and beg the reba to give hem their girls back. They are mamesh chutzpahnik rashim. Is that the basic justification to do what Ger did?

A Biden liberal woke Rabbi trying to get some brownies with a very uninspired following here in VIN. Opportunists what we call them.

Although Rabbi Poupko may or may not be right about what happened (it is irrelevant to my point), however, the last post that he wrote disparaging Rabbanim for not taking calls from the klal makes anything he says irrelevant. As many responded they don’t have a problem reaching reaching Rabbonim.
You get my point Rabbi Poupko.

Who care s what this leftist YU apologist has to say about anything pertaining to Yiddishkeit and especially chasidishe things?!!

I don’t even know why you people at yenta.com decide to even bring him on. Who cares what he has to say? Who died and left him in charge?

Why aren’t you posting rabbi Uren Reich talk on this subject. More in debt and comes from a godel batorah.

why don’t we see our mega Grand Rebbes come out against it? (besides Stolin and vishnitz) seeing such violence and staying quiet means acquiescence to it

or is it maybe because they themselves want to have the option of unleashing violence on their competitors should there be a breakaway faction is their camp sometime in the future…?? so they want to normalize and legitimize this violence

similar to how all dictators are not criticizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Poupko obviously has a very narrow one sided perspective of the situation. You just showed all who know all the details you conveniently left out what a fool you are. Or how easily you’re fooled.
