Rabbi Braun’s Scathing Speech on Attack on Yeshivahs
Worse than serving not kosher food in schools: Rabbi Yosef Braun, member of the Crown Heights Beis Din, spoke out sharply against the attack on Chassidic Yeshiva education by the New York Times and State Board of Regents, in a speech at 770 Eastern Parkway. Video

Worse than serving not kosher food in schools: Rabbi Yosef Braun, member of the Crown Heights Beis Din, spoke out sharply against the attack on Chassidic Yeshiva education by the New York Times and State Board of Regents, in a speech at 770 Eastern Parkway. Video
Putting aside whether or not in fact including klipas nogah secular subjects aligned with dinah dimalchusa is worse than non kosher food, in what way could a speech in 770 have any effect on the law that has been passed? why not speak about things that the attendees can use in their avodas hashem?
Did you actually bother listening till the end?
So much has been said that the attendees can use in their Avodas Hashem.
And yes there is a point in taking about this in 770. Did the Rebbe not speak for hours in 770 about laws that have been passed?
After adressesing the issue, he then said that we need to make our houses like Tomchei Temimim, and bring in more purity, while pushing out all negativity and impurity
Those speeches were in yiddish and changed the world.
He covered that; consider listening to the video before commenting.
He precisely spoke to the “attendees” during the second half of the video, telling them what their “avoda” is
If you listened until the end you would not have asked your question.
Dude Dina demalchusah applies only to monetary things and a few more rules….
(And if you say Dina demalchusah then you can say that throughout history like inquisition….)
Dina demalchusa has absolutely no grounds
When not aligned with Torah.
You took a halocho in torah, and using it against torah.
Looks like you don’t know any torah, or even history..
Just btw,
We send our kids to school to learn torah.
Not to get more of klipas noga.
Look at the public schools,
they learn lots of klipas noga, and we see
How well they are doing in 3 klipos hatmeos.
you really have me scratching my head. dinah dimalchusa is a concept in monetary laws, so its as applicable here as the prohibition against damaging property etc., no connection whatsoever. you’re point about “klipas noga” is also a misconception as we are dealing with one who is able to study torah (this differentiation is clear if you study tanya ch 8 properly, togue this isn’t the proper forum for that lesion lol) and to you’re point – your a contradiction. first you question the content of the speech, then you question its necessity!!. so first and foremost its relevant for… Read more »
This is what everyone needs to hear!! The Rabbeim risked their lives for Chinuch Al Taharas Hakodesh who would be so foolish as to allow this to happen!
Such true and powerful words! We are lucky to have a Rav who speaks the truth clearly and outright!
We survived Paroh, we survived Tzar & Stalin regime – we will survive this too BH –
HaShem will help us!
Tzar? Stalin? We live in a medina shel CHESED.
We are dor shvi’i. Our avoda now is to stop the chilul hashem — now B’FARHESYA — of cheating our kids of a future outside of shlichus/chinuch.
We are too family oriented and they don’t like it… they want to limit our population by brainwashing with public system education that dosent support family but Individual that are child free ….
They not anti religious
This is textbook Democrat rhetoric, to divide and conquer just like Paroh many others after him tried to do.
Its nice to see some passion finally. Its great to see people stand up for themselves and not be pushed around by arrogant, self-righteous, oppressive hypocritical bureaucrats. These “Jewish” groups and “activists” who channel their pain and traumas into coercive campaigns against communities they don’t like, care about, or honestly truly understand are exhausting. They’re not willing (nor are capable) to think the problem through, understand the complexities of the community, and factor in the larger societal implications of what Chassidic Jews are for. They likely don’t believe there can or should be a pure and righteous people – which… Read more »
Laying down the gauntlet
Thank you for giving us chizuk!
My son probably out surpasses the kids across the street in public school with reading and math. However, I don’t want their leftist propaganda! I can teach my kid secular at home. Secondly, I asked the same thing on a FB feed of a Lubavitcher woman who supported the new NY legislation passed against our schools: Do our children not deserve to eat or have bussing to school?
Fix the education system and then there won’t be a need to defend it
B”H Rabbi Braun is speaking truth to power! Too long the NY system has been trying to the the smart phones and all this drek into our beloved schools or no funding. It’s not enough that they corrupt and mismanage the public system, now they want to do it to our schools too.
Preach brother! Their so-called “schools” are breeding grounds of radicalism, free love, and occult evils. Our children grow up ehrlich and free from the taint of demonic sin. Forget the three Rs of reading, writing, and arithmetic — my three Rs are Rashi, the Rambam, and the Rebbe!!
When the goyim mock our education but we learned about magnetohydrodynamics from Professor Branover in middle school and they were learning that people come from monkeys. What a shandeh.
Give me a break. u know nothing abt magnetohydrodynamics
Of course I do! Here’s a quick summary of my thoughts on the matter:
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD; also called magneto-fluid dynamics or hydromagnetics) is the study of the magnetic properties and behaviour of electrically conducting fluids.[1] Examples of such magnetofluids include plasmas, liquid metals, salt water, and electrolytes.[2]
The things we know through chassidus and istakel b’oraysa uvara alma! Any OT graduate can go to MIT if they wanted.
very well said
Imagine equating getting an education to committing crime.
If the moral and ethical standards were legitimately that high in Crown Heights, nobody would be worried about teaching kids to read and write.
The fact that the people who commit crime went to public school has nothing to do with the fact that they learned math. If it did, all the girls in Crown Heights would be criminals.
It’s not because they learnt math that they’re criminals, rather that there is more to education then Academics.
“…there is more to education than Academics.”
Than, not then.
🙂
Use that and you won’t need to worry about grammar mistakes again.
Educate yourself and read a book every now and then, and you could fix your grammar mistakes all by yourself like a real adult!
Your post is an example of confusing cause and effect (like in my caption above). No one is claiming that studying math causes crime. It’s rather that the criminals have studied math and obviously it hasn’t changed their behavior, so the notion that we need math in our schools to reach the public schools’ standards is nonsense on stilts. On the contrary, their standards need to be brought up to ours.
The rebbe was against the idea that someone needs to go to college to become a mentsch.
In reality, learning math and English has nothing to do with ethics or morals. So the argument that public schools need to be brought up to our ethical standards is irrelevant.
Learning basic subjects is a quality of life issue. If they stopped teaching it to girls, there would be outrage.
Nobody has the right to permanently reduce the quality of life of these kids.
You start out sensibly, but then go completely off the rails.
Indeed, the Rebbe said that you don’t need to go to college to be a mentsch. But he also pointed out that all the education in the world, if devoid of G-d and of morality, is worthless, as seen with pre-WWII Germany.
So yes, the public schools most certainly need to be brought up to our moral and ethical standards. As for your argument about “quality of life,” look at the sicha of Simchas Torah 5715.
It’s so great to see a Rav standing up for what’s right, and not being afraid to speak truth. Thank you Rabbi Braun.
All the talking in the background makes it hard to hear him.
Oh wait, I just realized the background noise was on my end haha the neighbors are making a bas mitzva for their granddaughter. My bad.
Why don’t we as a community call upon our so-called “” Askonim” who endorsed the person who could have stopped these guidelines form from being imposed upon us in the Primary a few months ago?
Community council pushed everyone to vote democrat for years. This is the result of voting democrat
An excellent speech. He is very knowledgable on the issues, and spoke straight to the point.
