NEW YORK (VINnews) — In an unprecedented conversation, President Biden spoke at length Monday with the Skverer Rebbe and asked him for the support of his chasidim in the coming midterm elections, specifically for local representative Sean Maloney.

The president concluded the conversations by stating that “you will always have an open door to my administration” and stressed that he was working with the current elected officials in the region “and they have an open door to my office if they need something.”
Maloney is hoping to be reelected to New York’s 17th congressional district but faces strong opposition from Republican Michael Lawler who has wide support in the Rockland County district. The district includes New Square, the center of Skver chasidim who could mean the difference between the two candidates. During the midterm elections the Democrats are expected to lose their majority in the Senate and Congress and therefore the president is trying to personally help Democrat representatives.
According to reports of the conversation, the Skver Rebbe thanked the president for his help in defending and assisting Ukraine and saving its residents from the Russian offensive. The rebbe said that he has a personal connection to the region where his ancestors lived, where some of their shuls still exist and where they are buried.
The president related his grandfather’s last request to him “not just to remember belief in G-d but to disseminate it as well.” He also mentioned that he is personally acquainted with New Square mayor Yisrael Moshe (Izzy) Spitzer and had received the rebbe’s blessings via Spitzer. Biden stressed his longtime friendship with Israel’s leaders and his steadfast support for Israel over his career.
How can anyone vote for a democrat when they are pro crime and pro destroying yeshivas.
“specifically for local representative Sean Maloney”
Sean Patrick Maloney is an open toeivah-nik, “married” to a fellow toeivah’nik man. Does Skverer Hasidism support that?
Open door to what? Gehennom?
It will be a real shame if Skver will vote for Maloney and Hochul peddlers of
,חוקי תועבה
Disseminates belief in hashem by promoting abortions abd immorality……
When these Rebbe’s endorse a toaiva candidate, like both Satmars openly endorsing the baby killer toaiva Kathy Hochul, I lose respect for them. They become lower in my eyes. If they anger Hashem and Hashem hates them, so do I. There are no excuses for actions that anger HKB”H. There is no dan licaf zchus garbage, when the kavod of the Borei Olam is at stake. They may have thousands of followers, but that means NOTHING in HKB”H’ eyes. Chillul Shem shomayim.
In reality, its a threat.
Biden is human garbage.
And if the Rebbe votes for him, he’s voting for evil, Anti-Torah Sonei Hashem.
I’m sure Biden will help with the yeshivas. He’s a guy you can count on. Common man. Full stop.
Interesting that right after reading about Hashem’s creation of Adam and Eve, comes along our disastrous/phony/supposedly christan President and is trying to persuade “ultra religious Jews” to vote for someone living the life of Adam and Steve. It’s literally an upside down world.
I can’t speak about local politics. However, one thing I will say after last night’s debate is anyone that endorses or votes for Hochul is a total fool. I watched the debate on You Tube I was shocked there were hundreds of comments almost every single one in support of Zelden. If the chasidishe mosdos endorse Hochul after the SED yeshiva debacle, then I lost all my respect for these useful idiots. Perhaps then Moster is right. The chasidim need an education. Let’s hope these mosdos don’t openly endorse Hochul.
so the rebbe supports the Cossacks band according to this? hard to believe as it was the Ukrainians who caused the pogroms of his ancestors and 2nd this is the SAME rebbe who met with Bill Clinton in the white house in order to get a pardon for 2 skver convicts so its not so unprecedented. yes senile Joe really does well is disementating G-d while pushing for childrens transgender surgery.
Come on man! Seriously? Could anything be more unsavory? Biden represents the antithesis of Torah values. Just because he supposedly will keep the money stream going does not give you a “heter” to vote for the party of menuvalim.
Great time to find out whether the Skvere rebbe encourages gay marriage. Can’t wait to see this one play out.
“The president related his grandfather’s last request to him “not just to remember belief in G-d but to disseminate it as well.”
Joe shtecht arois zain chazer feesil.
If Biden would really mean it is one thing but he is nebach not boss in his very own administration. I think Lawler will certainly make it.
And joe much money did he promise
Dear ADMOR Harav Dovid Twerski SHLITA;
Please think about NYS Jewery & klal yisrael as whole vs your Choshuve Shtetl. Look at the current government actions as a whole as far as Toeiva, murder & crime, …and all the 7 Noahide violations from this week’s Parsha. Think of the NYS covid lockdowns & mandate missery and government actions targeted specifically at the Jewish Community.
I know you may be thinking this connection may come in handy in case one your Kehila members get into trouble. I know it worked with the Clintons and your Chasidim are indeed lucky to have you as their Rebbe. You acted the way a most caring father would do so for a child. However, I implore of you to think beyond that and for the chinuch & safety of the rest of our children. In that zchus may Kehila always be protected and may we merit the Geula Shleima, Amen.
Love;
Yosef ben Avrohom Yaakov
Meanwhile on that very same day Biden met in person with a trans-identifying TikTok Influencer to base states making certain surgeries illegal for minors. Biden told him that “what America really needs right now is more transgender activism to help change public opinion”
Joe biden, that every now and then advertises what kind of proud religious Christian he is, when he’s trying to make himself look good) who went completely OTD so to speak, as we know by what he advocates for, is now pushing for the chosen people to vote for a full-fledged married toevah-nik. As unbelievable as that is, it’s even more unbelievable, or should I say shocking, that we have doubts in our minds as to how Skver will vote.
אל תתוודע לראשות
So the guy that supports man using the same bathroom as woman, spoke to the guy that supports separate sidewalks for man and woman.
Was the Rebbe as receptive to Joe as the Saudi’s were?
Please read this Satmar, Skver and any mosdos that thinks flattery will help THEIR pocketbooks. This what the Ben Yehyodah (The Ben Ish Chai) says about flattery Sotah 42:
כָּל אָדָם שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ חֲנוּפָּה נוֹפֵל בַּגֵּיהִנָּם (ישעיה ה, כ). נראה לי בא ללמד אפילו הוא תלמיד חכם דאין גיהנם שולט בו קל וחומר מסלמנדרא כדאיתא בחגיגה (חגיגה כז.) עם כל זה לא תגין עליו תורה בזה אלא יהיה נופל בגיהנם! ורמז לדבר חֹנֶף [138] עולה מספר לַגֵּיהִנֹּם [138] ולזה אמר כל אדם רוצה לומר אפילו תלמיד חכם. אי נמי לומר אפילו עני הוא והוצרך להחניף בשביל פרנסתו.
ומה שאמר אֵין תְּפִלָּתוֹ נִשְׁמַעַת נראה לי בס”ד מדה כנגד מדה, הפה הוא שערי תפלה וכיון דחטא בפה בחנופה נסתמו לו שערי תפלה.
ועוד נראה לי בס”ד על פי מה שאמר הרמ”ז [הרב משה זכות] ז”ל יחוד התפלה הוא מספר חן [58] כזה ‘ו־ה וה־י והה־י’ [58] וכתב לכן התפלה נקראת בשם חן כמה דאת אמרת וָאֶתְחַנַּן אֶל הֳ’ (דברים ג, כג) עיין שם. נמצא התפלה היא סוד חן בפה ולכן עון חנופה גורם דאין תפלתו נשמעת.
As the old joke went, Hasidim are big believers in and practitioners of same sects marriage. Gerrers marry Gerrers, Satmarers marry Satmarers, Bobovers marry Bobovers, Lubavitchers marry Lubavitchers, Skverers marry Skverers, Vizhnitzers marry Vizhnitzers, Belzers marry Belzers, et al.
Apply Rabbi Hoffmans article on chillul Hashem
What about the חנוך of our kids are the people of Ukraine more important? What a joke?
Az Der Rebbe votes, vote ale chasidim.
I wonder how the clarkstown facebook group will appreciate this…
begging for votes?
You can not trust politicians. Biden is not to be trusted.
I’m bothered by this discussion. The Skvere Rebbe is a gadol. He does so much for Klal Yisroel. I myself am voting for Zeldin and encourage others to do so as well. Yet, please do not mock heilige tzadikim.
As per my info, nobody has been endorsed in this race by Skver.
Don’t rush to judgement…
הוו מתונים בדין
Hope they do just the opposite to vote from now on Republican all the way
Psicha, Tzundritimul
Quid pro quo?
Skvere is very smart. If you vote for Zeldin and Michael Lawler the evil woke Dems will just shred your ballot and dispose of it in dark black ballot dumping trucks.
NY is a blue state and it is obvious that the Dems program the voting machines to reject most Republican votes. The only way to get your vote counted is to vote for at least one Dem.
When DeSantis becomes Prez then Trump will put an end to all this madness we will never need to vote in this charade and Republicans will all be appointed for life.
Who cares who Skvere votes for? Biden and the Dems will anyway steal the election. Only fools think that votes for GOP candidates actually count. Be smart and stay home. Don’t go anywhere near a polling place, and don’t vote by mail. It is all a scam to get your name and info and force you to get vaxxed by global elitists/
I hope Maloney wins. I still am aganst Lawler for beeting Ellen Jaffee who was one of my favorite politicians. She was very active in trying to make sure yeshivos have more secular educaytion which is very important to me.
Here is a pome I made up:
If you do not like Maloney
you are full of balonee
Also vote for Kathy not Lee
For an elction deniyer is he
Of course VIN News must twist everything to further it’s one sided populist narrative.
Instead of a normal headline such as “Biden reaches out to Severe Rebbe for support” or even a positive headline such as “Biden has warm and productive conversation with Severe Rebbe” it must instead be a negative headline “Biden pressures Severe Rebbe” as if Biden is doing something wrong .
Tough call. The democrats have delivered to Skver in the past when Hillary first ran. When you get so much attention that the president calls you,it means something.
Of course I support the republcian but yidden need to remeber we are in golus. They key is still the poretz you can chanfa more. To those that say what about LGBT etc. Yidden were never one issue based. And we were never only about moral values candidates. Most gedolim disagreed with Rabbi Miller ZT’l aboout this
