Give it up. You don't have to like JK, but stop overblowing what he did. The media was in Borough Park and will be in Borough Park without him saying a word.

Media was in BP and the news would have focused on somthing else within the protest, yet clear JK turned the story into himself how he was assulted and how he really cares about our wellbeing. If not JK the story would have been way differnet even with the press there

Bubbeh maasos, media was there before. a photographer was harassed the day before.

Right - but I didnt see that reporter running around to all stations and cry. JK on the otherhand did do so, and no one likes a story better then jews themselves fight


He's a shmo with a few followers,

only 26.5k followers - not sure if thats called a "few"


This was in March when people were dropping like flies. He felt, and there were many rabonim that agreed, it was sakanos nefashos. In hindsight, he was wrong. But to call him a Nazi, Kapo (how can you be both?), moser, etc. based on pikuach nefesh, come on.

Well America is a free place - he had the choice to stay home, no one forced him to go to shul. Yet he went only to take pics, and some dude yelled a him so he got pissed and called the mayor to complain about that specific shul as a retaliation - even as many others were open


Regardless of your opinions on JK and HT, it's ridiculous how the story has become about two doofuses who don't represent anyone yet have declared themselves our saviors.

+1. Mind boggling how in a city with daily shootings, robberies, and other serious crime, this would be the top local news for a few days.

jews fighting within is better - but why blacks shooting each other is not I dont know

Did any media outlets call it a “peaceful protest” ? Just curious

no - becuase they made a small fire and burned only masks and not police cars and stores

I didn't see JK calling the mayor that the schools are open - is it because he actually wants his kids in school now and doesn't need them home?
Same with Getz and the others that really care about our health and say to follow all rules

This is an argument against the current "leadership", not for HT.

If anything this sounds like a defense for JK. When he called the mayor we were at the exact peak of NY COVID deaths that week. Now that the situation has extremely improved, if he’s not snitching on shuls/schools now you can argue that his need for attention is not enough to make him snitch when health is a much smaller factor.

There is no current "leadership" (or it's corrupt). So HT grabbed the microphone and speaks to the individual. Anyone else is invited to grab the microphone and say what they have to say

Except Kornbluh. He needs to stay home.

The leadership seems to be advocating turning the mike off and communicating quietly and diplomatically, in order to avoid unnecessary media attention and avoid a power struggle. They feel that is a much more effective way to get things done while letting the requisite politicians save face. The ones who are making the noise are the childish unsophisticated ones that missed the boat on this.

The leadership seems to be advocating turning the mike off and communicating quietly as always and pocketing all the monies and favors for their own personal benefits

Can someone explain me how keeping all schools open (you just be blind not to see it) by the "leadership" defining and angering the Gov daily that he is trying every way to stop it, like withholding funds < this is called "quietly and diplomatically"?

-Rav Moshe Shternbuch, rosh av bais din of the Badatz of the Eidah Hachareidis of Yerushalayim, has released a powerful p’sak against those who submit to authorities names and identities of Torah institutions that allegedly are not complying with draconian Covid-19 lockdown regulations.Rav Shternbuch, in his weekly shiur, stated that these “mosrim,” those who inform on fellow Jews to governmental authorities, may not be counted toward a minyan. read more at Matzav.com

He called the city to shut down weddings in June/July.

Surprising it took a random 15 minutes in the regular news cycle to “open his eyes”. This crap has been going on forever.
