The speaker is believed to be Rabbi Avraham Sholom Blum, from Williamsburg son of the late Kasho Rebbe, Rabbi Raphael Blum, Zt’l who is highly respected as a Torah scholar and for his keen understanding of politics in addition to having been extremely involved in the yeshiva education issue.
Speaking in Yiddish in recent days, the rabbi called out Hochul supporters who say that she has defended yeshivas, noting that the governor has remained quiet on the issue and has done nothing to advocate for Jewish educational institutions, and that those who say otherwise are not being truthful.
He spoke strongly against the Democratic party, decrying them as promoters of immoral behavior.
“What I don’t understand is how in the world religious Jews can vote for any Democrat, a party that indulges in the lowest behavior and all kinds of abominations,” said the rabbi.
The rabbi had equally harsh words for Jews who vote for Hochul in the hopes that she will funnel more money to yeshivas, saying that they are overlooking how New York’s State Education Department appears to be intent on destroying the Jewish educational system.
“You forget that you are a religious Jew for a few dollars,” said the rabbi.
Sharing a conversation that he once heard from a grand rabbi, the speaker spoke out strongly against the New York Times for its relentless attacks on the Chasidic and Orthodox communities. He noted that the grand rabbi referred to the newspaper as “The New York Tima,” saying that it was full of tima – filth – “because it always has something bad to say about religious Jews.”
In contrast to his views on Hochul, the rabbi praised Congressman Lee Zeldin as an ethical individual, someone who has spoken out in favor of yeshiva education even at tremendous personal cost, with liberals attacking him for his statements.
Describing Zeldin as someone who is unafraid to stand up for the truth, the rabbi said he believed that the Republican is the best choice for New York’s next governor.
Understanding that there are those who have been considering staying home on Election Day, the rabbi said that he himself had considered not voting, but then reconsidered, realizing that it is a kiddush Hashem to show appreciation to those who support the causes that matter most to the Jewish community.
Finally a Chasidei Rav with guts, the rest of are even more cowards than I tough they were
There should be a special bracha when meeting a person with integrity.
OMG . I think I’m dreaming. This is so beautiful! Now THAT’S a heilige yid right there.
He is 100% correct! Also, Yidden should NOT vote for Schumer who is helping the American Gestapo destroy America from within.
finally a rebbe that stands for something other than $$$$, Aguda must be going crazy with him going “rogue”.
It’s fair to support Zeldin if you do it based on the merits of his positions but over the type hyperbole is just wrong and not derech hatorah
Saying that “Congressman Lee Zeldin…has spoken out in favor of yeshiva education even at tremendous personal cost, with liberals attacking him for his statements” is just patently ridiculous. There is no personal cost to Zeldin bring attacked by liberals. The more he is attacked by liberals the more he stirs up his base. Zeldin only slim chance of victory is to get the frum vote. It is not an act of “courage” for him to promise the frum community what it wants it is simple political math and calculations.
Zeldin may well be better the better choice than Hochil but he has no meaningful record on working with the frum community. We can only hope that he keeps his promises if elected.
The over the top infatuation with right wing politicians is also wrong and pathetic. Having little kids perform marches and sing songs in Zeldin’s honor – as was done in some frum institutions – belongs in North Korea and China and not in normal free societies like the United States.
“believed to given a by a prominent Chasidic rabbi.” So prominent, we’re not even certain who he is?
“What I don’t understand is how in the world religious Jews can vote for any Democrat, a party that indulges in the lowest behavior and all kinds of abominations, said the rabbi”
What I don’t understand is how religious Jews can enthusiasticly support a ticket that has a bo’el aramis on the head of ticket and a open and proud toevahnik on the bottom of the ticket. Gevald!!!
Fjcc endorsed Trump oppresser tish names yesterday
What will he tell Skver and Satmar?
So, if I vote for Hochul I Won’t be considered a good Jew?
So other than election “promised new money incentives” , can someone please tell me a reason to vote for Hochul an her cabal?? PLEASE LMK CUZ I HAVEN’T FOUND ANY EITHER.
So waddayu say this Rav/Rebbe give a call to Skver & Satmar KJ and have a schmooze & discuss!
Maybe he can explain to them his scathing rebuke of any religious Jew who votes for her?
Nice words of sinas chinam. Keep on spreading hate of those that legitimately disagree with you
Watch the lairs (gopq under his new name) start spreading falsehoods that zeldin is anti abortion when he clearly said he is simply pro state deciding and he won’t change it in ny.
Oh then they get stuck on election denying. Big deal so he voted not to certify it. That doesn’t mean he denied it. We all see he is normal and not fringey trumpy. So unless you can refute ky argument remain quite
The Rebbe said her train should crash, then reconsidered and said it shouldn’t. It didn’t. Mofes!
We’ll see soon enough.
Does this mean the rebbe approves of Zeldin’s running mate’s same-sex marriage?
“the rabbi said that he himself had considered not voting, but then reconsidered”. Emm, how about telling your followers to vote in Israel ? Wouldn’t that be a Kiddush Hashem?
So he has no problem with the even more immoral behavior of Herschel Walker and Donald Trump? Or Zeldin’s campaign breaking election law? Or Zeldin wanting to ban all abortions?
How can Jews vote for another Jew who is not Frum, Oy Vey! How is this differnt then in Israel????????????????
To say voe for Zeldin is one thing but to cal her wicked is another. And hen the article says he is highly respected. Maybe he should have respect for others
Nebach,
He’s being used as a puppet by Askonim ….
Did he vote for Cuomo ?
