Did you pick Dexter and Jerry in the hospital on purpose? Probably not, but fitting.

Thank you. Now everyone can take a much needed deep breath.

How dare you take a deep breath while people are dying!?! And what do you think happens after a deep breath? That's right, an exaggerated exhale that will expel deadly Chassidic droplets that will murder thousands.

While I understand the mentality on the satmar side, if the government is picking on them etc given that a rebbishe wedding is a cause of great rejoicing for all chasidim etc.

Then I read about people dying and wonder what cognitive dissonance exists?

I've heard all the arguments, everyone got it, corona isn't killing people.. etc etc and people are still dying.. so you can have your wedding... It's yihareg v'al yavor, the goyim are doing it.

It's a massive chillul hashem.


And this.

Its what has been repeatedly stated here. Realize that chillul hashem effects all Jews but especially chassidim.

Take for example, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein who I know very well and is a chossid. He came out quite a few times over the pandemic months against Cuomo and calling him out for singling out our community. He stood up for us. However, he is now appalled by this revelation of the wedding and it makes his standing up for us that much harder. That's what these people need to realize - the damage that happens that can't be undone.

Have your weddings and keep quiet about it. And not just for 2 weeks. סיג לחכמה שתיקה.

When did it happen? I must have missed the memo. Can I finally throw out all my masks?

I just read the entire thread (all 23 pages of it). It's amazing how I couldn't stop laughing and was still so bothered by it at the same time.

Though I think I just liked more posts at once than I've ever done before in one sitting.

But they'll be wrong because the Chassidim that started the virus wear different color socks to you, so in actual fact haters started the virus, not Chassidim.

It's only 7 pages if you set the post count to the maximum. And the fact that you laughed and were bothered simultaneously is what makes it a good read (for you).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

No , they just discovered that covid started from chasidim ,from the chasidim it spread to china and from china to the whole world, that it came from china  is a trump hoax to protect the chasidim,
Below you have more details how it went

Most frum Jews actually can't tell chasidim apart, I mean doesn't karlin dress a little like the litvish? I was surprised as a youngster when I saw litvisher rabbanim in america wearing kappotes.

If lehavdil fish made a concert, you can't scapegoat fish fans, well you could say that fans of fish are morons etc.

But by chasidim, you can point fingers at a group, a leadership..this wasnt like a surprise birthday party.

And the gloating about it?!? Are you crazy?!?

With payos behind ear, I'd easily think it was a litvisher ry.

Lack of communication and inability to discuss intelligently is a problem.

The goyim don't have to give din v'cheshbon.

Whether or not you feel the wedding was justified, going on to mock and taunt the authorities is ridiculous.

As the article pointed out, the satmar head of the shul was niftar from covid-19

Isn't this a problem most minorities have?
Indeed. What would you say if some politician, say Cuomo for example, would say "the African_american community is not following the rules" because after all some of them are not and it's hard for people not in that community to tell the difference. Better yet, what do you think the media et al would say if Trump were to say something like that?
