Perspective & Priorities

“K’lal Yisrael’s pants are falling down, and they want me to straighten out K’lal Yisrael’s tie?”

-Rav Zelik Epstein zt"l, Rosh Yeshivas Shaar HaTorah-Grodno / Queens, when asked why he refused to sign a kol korei forbidding movies...

Does anybody have some extra money they'd like to invest?

ג' אלו''ל

"As we stand before the beginning of a new year, it is incumbent upon us to draw near to the path of teshuvah (repentance), which brings redemption and healing to the world.

The Jewish people have become divided into two camps, through the categorization of Jews as Charedi (religious) and Chofshi (secular). These are new terms, which were not used in the past. Of course, not everyone is identical, especially in spiritual matters; but there was never a specific term to describe each faction and group. In this respect, we can certainly say that previous generations were superior to ours.
Emphasizing this categorization obstructs the way towards improvement for both camps. One who feels that he belongs to the Charedi camp looks down upon the secular camp. If he thinks about teshuvah and improvement, he immediately casts his eyes in the direction of the Chofshi camp, devoid of Torah and mitzvot. He is confident that full repentance is required by the irreligious, not by him.

The secular Jew, on the other hand, is convinced that any notion of penitence is a Charedi concept, completely irrelevant to him. It would be better if each person would concentrate on discerning his own defects, and judge others generously. It could very well be that others have treasure-troves of merits, hidden from sight. We must recognize that there exists in all of the camps a latent force leading towards goodness. Each camp has much to improve upon, and is capable of learning much from the light and goodness of the other camp.

Let us be known to each other by one name - "Klal Yisrael", And let our prayer be fulfilled: "May they all become one group, to perform Your Will whole- heartedly"...

"It once happened that a Jew who had rented an inn from the local landlord had fallen behind in his payments and was jailed. The landlord announced that on a particular day this Jew was to be dressed in a bear costume and to compete in a dance contest. The Shpoler Zeide put his life on the line and secretly took the place of this unfortunate Jew. This is the song to which they danced:
