“ Actually the kindergarden issue is one major souce of tension between degel hatorah and ger . ”

“ It is a chiyuv of the Torah to pay workers their wages on time! How can someone responsible for stiffing employees be considered Orthodox? ”

“ Thank you VIN for highlighting this problem. The more I hear the less I give to tzedakas in Israel, of course my paltry few thousand a year is nothing to them but I would imagine that there are many others who feel the same way I do, the smell of corruption stinks across the oceans to these shores. 'Leaders' such as this Goldknopf line their pockets with donations and steal from the people they are supposed to be helping. They've already stolen an education from the masses as well as the ability to create any sort of financial independence, eventually the chareidim in Israel will be worse than the most ignorant savages in third-world countries. All because of the lust for power and greed by their leaders. I spit on Goldknopf and his ilk. ”

“ Stealing from Bais Yaakov teachers has got to be a new all-time low. The additional benefit of this article is in graphically demonstrating how Socialism destroys a society piece by piece, because one monolithic, monopolistic, all-powerful source controlling the disbursement of every penny effectively kills quality, perseverence, innovation, achievement and self-actualization. Why bother? Life becomes demoralizing and excelling at anything is an exercise in futility. The new form of Socialism is stealing from the Middle Class and giving to the Rich and Ezra Reichman demonstrates this in chilling detail. This would be a great opportunity for those B.Y. teachers to pool their resources and open their own school that competes with the establishment. Nothing like a good competition to break the power of monopolies. ”

“ Your hatred of Frum Jews is almost as great as that of the Germans. ”

“ B.Y. teachers could pool their resources to start their own school, but they'd have to charge real tuition rather than the nominal fees that most parents pay in Israel for Jewish education thanks to....Socialism! I presume you'd like to eliminate government support for Jewish schools there? ”

“ For those who believe that this article is an unbiased investigative piece, you need a reality check. These people and groups, on both sides, are entrenched in a deep BUSINESS battle with many millions on the line.

To me what is so telling is the absolute lack of an validation to claims, or names of people who stand behind any accusations. These people may depend on aggressive business tactic that may border on illegal, however the articles clear intent is to demonize Goldknopf. WHY NOT INCLUDE THE FACTS, OR PERHAPS THEY DONT WANT TO? ”

“ This is what happens if you WORK!
All those commentators sitting on your swivel chair and reading VIN enjoy when u read a hateful piece like this. But keep in mind that this article wouldn't make sense on yourself for one reason... Because you're not busy to help. This is the price that a ASKEN pays for his work to the public ”

“ I can read from ur lines: that u only give tzedakah 2 the yankee stadium,
So who really cares about ur opinion of chasidim? ”

“ MY hatred of frum jews? That's laughable. It's not me who oppresses these poor yidden, not me who makes sure they'll never have a chance to better themselves. You, anonymous #18 must be one of these machers that pocket tzedaka money and then convince yourself you're not doing anything wrong. You're like the kapos in the camps that beat other yidden so they could have a little bit more bread than anyone else. ”

“ You people. besides for being Mekabel this Trash to be true- you are a bunch of gullible losers who would buy the brooklyn Bridge plus the Triboro if given a 2 for one deal.
Immature gullible grownups. You people are scary. OOOOOOOO- They wrote it so for sure it's true-oooooooooooo-they have No agenda what so ever -oooooo- He didn't choose to deny the allegations so it must be true--ooooooo!!!!!
CHILDREN! ”

“ I worked for Yizchok many years. He is a nice honest man and treats his employees with the utmost respect. He is extremely intelligent and successful and that is why so many people envy him. He is and has been fully devoted to the Chareidi public for over three decades and has never taken nor received gratuities in return for his many services. No wonder the secular people and media hate him. They have nobody of his caliber and quality in their midst. ”

“ And who cares about your opinion of other posters? Keep your nastiness to yourself, you obviously don't have something nice to say about someone so keep quiet. ”

“ if half the stuff in the story is true then perhaps giving "tzedakah to Yankee stadium is probably a better thing. ”

“ Everyone reading this needs to take it into perspective and realise this is only one side of the story.

That being said Goldknopf was given a chance to give his take on the allegations and didn`t exactly give a wholesome answer. Generally I believe that there is no smoke without fire and at least some of these allegations must be true at some level for Mariv to have published this article, I like to give the benefit of the doubt and say they wouldn`t have printed something that is totally fictious, although there may be some exggeration to fulfil an agenda, only hashem knows the whole truth.

I must also say that has a ba`al tashuva one reason that I do call myself and identify myself with charedim is because it seems that there is far too much of this sort of thing going on in the charedi world, and if this is authentic torah judaism(whatever that is) then no thank you. It seems to be the culpruits are people like this guy who are just below the rabbonim in the power hireachy and like to influence the rabbonim in ways that will provide and protect themselves with money and power. These people are disgusting mafia type figures who will get their din in shamiyim ”

“ rumor has it that this good had great influence on the israeli courtsystem to block the extradition of mondrowitz the molester who btw also happens to be a ger chasid. this goon needs his closets checked by an outside firm becausemost believe at this point thathegot lots of skeletons hiding in them. ”

“ Here we go again. Mention Ger and some moron brings up Mondrowitz. Why when you mention Torah Temima isn't Kolko's name brought up. You constantly foment rechilus against Ger. You allow all the canards that exist out there to be published, regardless of value to the article. Yet you edit out any remarks defending anything about Ger. ”

“ No smoke without fire?
I assume you accept that there must be some truth in the allegation that jews make matzos out of the blood of christian children. After all, the story has the backing of hundreds of learned galochim and the overwhelming majority of trials for this offence in medieval Europe resulted in convictions and subsequent execution.
Do you STILL believe "no smoke without fire"? ”

“ The tragedy of this story, which remember was originated by the vitriolicly anti-Torah Maariv, is the terrible Chillul Hashem it generates.
All this stems from a support of power hungry leaders. By definition, a Torah leader is not power hungry. Moshe Rabeinu argued for 7 days with the Ribono Shel Olom, not to be selected as the leader.
Our leaders are leaders of the spirit. DRocheho Darchei NOam. Bullying, power groups, violent hafgonos, these are all tools of Esov.
Rebbes who fight to be the next rebbe, Rosh Yeshivas who are interested in the real estate value of the Yeshivah more than the students, Mechanchim who are there only because they don't know how else to put bread on the table. These are all examples of using the Torah as a spade. ”
