David Akiva Miller, who is fighting the Veterans Administration over aggressive Christian proselytizing during his hospitalization (see our earlier report), was buying groceries on Sunday when an older couple, also shopping, approached him. In an email, Miller wrote that

The man said something to the lady I couldn’t quite make out, and they turned around and stepped back towards me. The man said to me, “You’re that Jewish fella that’s been stirring up trouble over at the Veterans Hospital, aren’t ya?” (Okay, I’ll admit I kind of stick out in Iowa City with my long beard, kippah and tzit.) I said, “Excuse me?” And he said, “It’s because of folks like you that we got this flood.”
So a gentile blames a Jew for something. Nu, vus noch iz neias?
just a reminder once again yhat we are STILL IN GALUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have answered that maybe because of how one of G-D’s chosen people was treated that they were punished
when i was in iowa city, it was such a midbar there – in 1995 – that even though it was a BIG college town, there was NOT EVEN A CHABAD – there was only some reform temple which I would not step foot in. Shabbos in that hotel room was quite lonely…. I wonder if it is any better now.
David Akiva Miller should have a refua sheleima bikarov and not have to be in such a place. Let us daven for him.
Either the people in Iowa are drowning in their own stupidity or drowning in water.
New Orleans, Iowa WHO IS NEXT?
It would be nice if these two gentleman would smile for the camera.
thats what sais in the gmura that everthing that happens is beecase yidden have to do thshuva
maybe Flood in Iowa because they botherd Rubashkin meat.
OR maybe the flood in Iowa is because they arrested all the people who realy are ready to work. So now, guess what there is no one to fill the sandbags.
he should of smiled and said: yup that was us… and walked away
He can always pick himself up and leave the golus to Israel.
No floods here lately.
6:59 “He can always pick himself up and leave the golus to Israel. ” – not sure what land your living on, but as far as I am aware, people in Israel are also in golus just like us….
The answer to these people is YES we did cause it…so now don’t mess with us or will bring the the big whammy!! (stupid people)
shame his name isnt noah….

depends what part of the city you were at, its like saying you made a visit to 42nd st in NY and didnt see any frum Yidden!
To Anonymous 8:57 AM,
I’m not sure what planet YOU’RE living on, but we here in Israel aren’t in golus.
Only you are.
Just like Katrina was for Gush Katif, I think these floods plus the 4 boyscouts killed in Iowa tornado 2 weeks ago were retribution for the local authorities unfair treatmnent of the Agri people. We should ask Rubashkins to pray for their local goyim.
During the Spanish Civil War (l936-’39) Two wounded soldiers of the opposing armies (Fascists and Republicans) lay next to each other waiting for treatment! One soldier asks the other; “Who’s to blame for our troubles”??! The Jews, of course! “But there are no Jews living in Spain for the last 500 years”??! “Precisely”! replied the first soldier, “If there were Jews living in our country we could [at least] blame it on them”!!
Ashkenazic yid, so you’re not in golus? what a joke..
Ashkenazic yid: What do you daven in Eretz Yisroel??
What do you bentch in Eretz Yisroel?? Tell me your nusach.
The last time I was there I did not see a different nushach Hatfilah. Every second word in our tefilos ask to be taken out of golus
aliyah is not the answer
