Had Enough?

The Jewish people have suffered over 2,000 Years of Galut and All That Accompanies It.

Had Enough?
This Tisha B'Av Let's Bring the Geulah!
(by Lema'an Achai)

As essential as our fasting, tears and laments are to mourning the galut, it is only deeds that will bring us to redemption.

Sinat Chinam (baseless hatred) brought us to exile and only through Ahavat Chinam will we merit to come out.

For over 13 years Lema'an Achai has been a shining example of that Ahavat Chinam as we bring Jews of all stripes together to help others. Our assistance pays no regard to the recipient's race, gender or level of observance.

It is simply those who are able helping those in need. 

This Tisha B'Av commit to support Lema'an Achai and spread the highest form of Ahavat Yisrael.

We are presently in a difficult financial situation that threatens to severely curtail our Smart Chesed programs.

Your generous contribution before or on Tisha B'Av will empower us to continue to help people with true tzedaka, chesed and Ahavat Yisrael.

May this be our last Tisha B'Av in mourning and may we together, as one, merit to see the geulah shleima..the full and final redemption.

Tizku L'Mitzvot and Have an Easy Fast.

Marrying a Soloveitchik

Image
Mazaltov! My nephew, Gedaliah Kestenbaum married Devori Soloveitchik in Jerusalem last week. Gedaliah has married into rabbinical aristocracy .    Devori is the daughter of  Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik, and the grand-daughter of Rabbi  Meshulam Dovid (Reb Dovid) Soloveitchik , who is Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Brisk (one of the two) in Jerusalem . The Soloveitchik's are a rabbinical dynasty descended from Rabbi  Yosef Dov (HaLevi) Soloveitchik (The "Beis Halevi") and his son Rabbi  Chaim Soloveitchik ("Reb Chaim Brisker"). Rav Chaim's sons Rabbi  Yitzchak Zev (Reb Velvel) Soloveitchik ("The GRIZ" The Brisker Rov) and Rabbi  Moshe Soloveitchik seem to have gone in different hashkafik directions. Whereas Reb Velvel's descendents are predominantly right wing hareidim, Rav Moshe's branch are leaders in the Modern Orthodox/National Religious hashkafa – most notably Rav Joseph Ber Soloveitchik ("The Rav")

Hoax Letter Sent to Synagogue

Image
            (Beis Tefillah Synagogue, Ramat Beit Shemesh) The following hoax letter has been sent to members of the Beis Tefillah Synagogue board of management, as if it was written by Rabbi CM [ed. name respectfully withheld] who serves as their rabbi: I think that as long as David Morris sets policy for L.A [ed. Lema'an Achai ], and is their public face,  I will not allow L.A. to use the Shul for fundraising purposes. This will change if: 1)David M apologizes publicly for stating,and insinuating again and again(in many forums,but especially in his childish Tzedek Tzedek blog) that , as a group ,  "Rabbis" (of RBSA ) are guilty of aiding and abetting and enabling child molesters.(And that of course that leaves LA to come to the rescue of our children.) OR IF  2)LA  publicly , clearly,and unambiguously disavows such statements .They must say--we clearly,and unambiguously ,disavow  statements or blogs which say or imply that  Rabbis  of RBSA (as a group ) aid or a
