Failed Messiah started out somewhat skeptical about the kidnapping of Menachem Stark may he rest in peace. Yesterday, he wrote a perfect editorial on the hipocracy of the Chassidish community in Williamsburg.
In sharp contrast to the rabbis in Boro Park, who responded to a murder of a young kid by letting the whole world know at his funeral that Boro Park is being punished for their sins (then there were a few that decided to detail the sins of Boro Park), the rabbis in Williamsburg did the exact opposite.
The front page in the New York Post is despicable, but everything in the New York Post is a message from God. Death atones for a person's own sins. At the time of printing, Mr. Stark already paid his debt for whatever sins with his life. The additional embarrassment of Mr. Stark could not have been for any of his own sins. Therefore, the New York Post message is from God and for the entire Satmar community in Williamsburg.
This is not just Menachem Stark that lied, cheats and steals from the banks, tenants and contractors. It is the entire Williamsburg that has a follow the money attitude. They justify everything with charity -- except the charity from such people like Menachem Stark is the equivalent of accepting charity from prostitutes.
Other people died premature deaths in Williamsburg before. Why is this death different? Why is this death a message from God?
As with Leiby Kletzky, there was a community-wide search for Mr. Stark. But when Kletzky was murdered, it was a pure innocent child who has done nothing wrong. While we knew Kletzky died for all of our sins, it was heard to tell exactly which sin predominated the Boro Park community.
In sharp contrast, God sent all of us a message via the New York Post, to tell Williamsburg exactly which sins they are guilty. Stealing and bribery. Mr. Stark and Williamsburg stole from the banks, tenants and contractors ... and gave their money to yeshivas, shuls, and homosexual supporting politicians like Eric Adams and the New York City Council.
Very well said. Sweet and the to The point
