A fool says what a wise man thinks… (Following the resignation of Gazei)

Does the rabbi think that statements from the archive, no matter how racist and dark, justify such a disgrace?!
Where are all the beautiful souls hiding when the speakers are Arabs against Jews, or when the speakers are Russians against Haredim with equally problematic statements?
Does the rabbi see an exception here that justifies the cries of the Gevald, or are we once again living in the usual Israbelov?
I don’t know what this is about.
This is about a Haredi stand-up comedian of Ethiopian origin.

It is not a great innovation in Judaism that there is reward and punishment, and talking about it can be beneficial for people who have a basic belief in the Torah, but who are drawn to the norms practiced in the street.
However, in an audience where belief in the Torah is not clear - there is a problem with talk about reward and punishment that leads to antagonism, and therefore Rabbi Baruch Gezhai drew the obvious conclusion that he should continue to give lessons and sermons to a believing audience, and not sit in the Knesset.
It is said that Rabbi Kahaneman of Ponebez, who was a good speaker, was offered the chance to be elected to the Knesset. He refused, saying: "Every time I hear heretical and blasphemous words against the Torah, I will have to tear my clothes. I don't have money to buy a new one every day 🙂
However, Rabbi Yaakov Avraham will enter the Knesset in place of Rabbi Baruch Gezhai. Finally, we will have the Avraham family represented in the Knesset 🙂
With blessings, Sh. Z.
A religious Jew who was an officer in the IDF during the War of Independence spoke about the wonderful oratory skills of the Rabbi of Ponebez." One day the Magistrate asked him to take him to hear a sermon by the Rabbi of Ponivez.
The religious officer asked: What day is it? The Magistrate replied: I have to judge a soldier who was late to arrive at the base. The soldier justified himself by saying that he was at the sermon of the Rabbi of Ponivez. The Magistrate said: I cannot judge him until I have recorded it myself. Is the sermon of the Rabbi of Ponivez so engaging that it is impossible to stop halfway through?
The officer and the Magistrate went to hear a sermon by the Rabbi of Ponivez. The Magistrate ordered the officer to signal to him after half an hour that they had to leave. After half an hour, the officer signaled to the Maggid that it was time to leave, but the Maggid, captivated by the rabbi's words, refused to leave and stayed for another two hours until the rabbi finished preaching. At the end of the sermon, the Maggid said: "I really understand the soldier. You can't leave a sermon by the rabbi from Ponivez in the middle."
And those seeking records have already written (in the introduction to the praises of the Baal Shem): One must believe that the story could have been true.
Even if it couldn't have been...
The story about the Maggid who went with a religious officer to hear the Rabbi from Ponivez and came away stunned was published years ago in the bulletin "Shabbat Bishabtu" by the officer responsible for the incident, and his name is mentioned there. Anyone who wants to find out is invited to search the old volumes of the bulletin and look for the person responsible for the incident or his family.
Good luck with the investigation, Shabbat
Absolutely. I don't understand the people who don't believe stories without 2 witnesses who have been questioned and interrogated. It's all a story.
