Not Kedai for most people--Moving to the secular state of israel (SSOI)

Remember when they told you the state was the beginning of geulah?

  Are you getting the picture? If not, I'll tell you about my day. I received a notice that the post office has a registered letter for me. The notice said that the letter would be returned two weeks after the date on the notice which was more than two weeks ago. I figured I still better try to pick it up. The designated post office was not the one near my home but on the other side of the city. I traveled by bus for thirty minutes and waited for my turn. However, impending bomb alerts went off and the manager kicked us out of the office and told us to go to the bomb shelter. We listened to explosions in the sky and returned to the office where I waited for another twenty minutes when another alert came in. Outside I went where an Iranian bomb exploded a few hundred yards away and nearly knocked me over. Next came sirens, and soldiers, and police and ambulances and mayhem. I went back to the post office, but they closed it for the day as the power was out. Turns out the bomb fell n...

  Notice that he only talks about the view. He doesn't show you the tiny apartments. He doesn't talk about prices. They show cranes to give you the impression that geulah has come and that everyone is buying as if there are cranes all over Israel when just a few spots have them. His voice conveys excitement. He uses phrases like "dreams come true." Because he wears a yarmulka and has a long beard you trust him. But you are trusting a huckster. The whole thing is wild exaggeration. Even the view isn't great. Mostly it's a view of apartments, but they keep the camera moving so you can't determine that.  How much are these apartments in Lev Katamon, 1.5 KM from the East Jerusalem Arab area? More than 1.2 million dollars.

An avreich is suffering from intestinal disorders that were brought on by the anxiety of living in Israel. He tells his rosh kollel that he cannot come in because they can flare up at any time. The Israeli rosh kollel says sarcastically, "Can I bring you a bottle? Do you need someone to hold you?" When the young man counters that he really is too sick to come in, the rosh kollel says, "Maybe go be sick at another kollel" and finishes off with an explicit ultimatum that if the man doesn't come in he will be kicked out of the kollel. On Rosh Hashanah, a guy asks a gabbai at the shul next door if he can borrow a shtender. The gabbai says yes, but when the man carries the shtender down the stairs, a man slaps him in the head and shouts, "gonif!" When he explains that the gabbi gave permission, the man shouts, "Even if you bring it back you are a ganif!" This is Israeli culture. The aliyah evangelists will pretend that only the cholonim are like t...

A bochur in my neighbor's yeshiva was just arrested for draft evasion. This situation is out of control. It's like being in Soviet Russia. You do not want to move your family here. Is this happening in Maryland or Antwerp or Sydney?

 In shul, a man berates a 14 year old boy with whom he is "learning." Tells him that he's stupid, that even a cheder boy can understand the Maharsha, that he's worthless. Boy is found later in the park sobbing. This happens in Israel fairly often. I have a friend who has witnessed it 3x in the last 3 months. It's a harsh society, even in the yeshivishe velt. Chilonim run the country and their mentality spills over into everything.  

In case you didn't read through the last post, here's Yosef Mizrachi's warning about Israel: Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi: They don't want religious Jews in Israel. The wicked people took over. They control the Jewish agency. Every Orthodox they see immediately they begin to torture him. If they see a reform gay, in 3 weeks he's approved. Him and his husband. Immediately. But if they see a Orthodox family. The nightmare begin. I'm talking from experience. I have more than a 100 families who have been tortured between 1 to 6 years already. Include my neighbor. He told me "Baruch Hashem I sold the house," next door neighbor to me and "We moving to Eretz Yisroel." That was two months ago, I said to him, "Don't be naive." He said, "No, we give them all the papers, we confirmed they have everything." He's a tzadick. He doesn't have any evil in him. He cannot imagine that people especially Jews, especially Israeli can be so ...
