THE EVIDENCE CONTINUES TO MOUNT

Conspiracy Theory vs. Conspiracy Fact

Do you believe in conspiracies?  Of course you do!  The world turns on conspiracy and history is made by conspirators. 

Just a few examples of some famous conspiracies:  Paro and his advisors conspired to kill all the Jewish male infants; Bilaam and Balak conspired to make Hashem angry with Klal Yisrael through immorality with the Midianite women; Bigthan and Teresh conspired to kill King Achashverosh in the Purim story; Haman and Achashverosh conspired to annihilate all the Jews; and more recently, Hitler, y"sh and his Henchmen conspired to finish the job.

Why should today be any different?

Evidence continues to mount that there is an evil conspiracy related to the Chareidi public, both in Israel and abroad, and this viral pandemic.  The media is painting Chareidi Jews as the most dangerous carriers of the disease and are portraying their commitment to Torah, mitzvot and halachah as a danger to human life equal to an act of terrorism, God forbid, or even murder, God forbid!  At the same time, the enemy from within is conspiring to set aside Torah, mitzvot and halachah in the name of pikuach nefesh even though that "threat" is clearly being misrepresented and grossly exaggerated. 

To both situations, any thinking, feeling person has to ask himself, "Why?"

Poor Rav Chaim Kanievsky.  The only reason he would reverse his original ruling on keeping synagogues/yeshivas open and operating is if those responsible for keeping him informed had lied to him and mislead him about the true situation.  

What can even be said in regards to the likes of this...

State-mandated cremation is a posthumous ‘mitzvah,’ says leading Orthodox rabbi

A leading Orthodox rabbi has ruled that Jewish communities in Europe should embrace cremation if their governments require it — and consider it a posthumous “mitzvah,”....

As some countries halt burials for coronavirus victims or move towards doing so, out of fear that it increases coronavirus transmission, Kenneth Brander, the rosh yeshiva or dean of the Israeli Ohr Torah Stone network of institutions, said that any Jewish person who is cremated in this context should be seen as posthumously fighting against the virus that killed them.

“The highest honor that a person who isn’t alive can achieve is to help the living,” said Brander. While Judaism normally deems cremation a “desecration,” in the context of saving a life it would be seen as “a mitzvah that the deceased is doing posthumously.”

What convoluted reasoning this is!  How many ignorant Jews - willing or unwilling - believe that pikuach nefesh trumps all, conveniently forgetting that there are times when Torah demands that we give up our lives rather than cause a desecration.  

The spiritual heroism of our forefathers and foremothers exhibited in their many acts of mesirut nefesh over the centuries has sadly and tragically almost died out in our impoverished generation.

...The end to ritual Jewish burial will be sad, said Brander, but should be embraced by Jewish communities if need be. “Taharas are important as they represent tradition, but Jewish law says the ultimate concern is to take care of the living, and this will guide us,” he said.

America’s National Association for Hevra Kadishas released guidelines to burial societies in the US. Elchonon Zohn, the association’s founder, wrote to members that the guidelines were “very difficult for me to recommend and distribute” and that it is “appropriate to feel pained that we are abbreviating procedures.”

Instructions included washing of bodies “be expedited even if it will be more perfunctory.” Burial society members are told to minimize the time spent with a body.

Zohn stated that in many ways the new rules “contradict what I have taught for many years.” Yet, “Torah requires that we react to special times with special rules.”

Like answering the phone on Shabbat, giving up davening with a minyan, closing yeshivas and locking synagogues, conducting our Pesach seder over Zoom!?  Those kinds of "special rules!?"  Let's all just stop being Chareidi and become Reform, that's their real answer to staying alive, but what Chareidi Jew could bear such a "life" without true devotion to Torah, mitzvot and halachah?

Agents of an ancient conspiracy have infiltrated our ranks for just such a time as this in order to finish off our religion for good - or so they think and hope and work towards.

But, as history has proven over and over again, the conspirators always fail and Judaism, as it is expressed in our Torah and mitzvot, continues on.  

They simply can't destroy the Eternal People - Children of the Eternal God.
