5/3/25 – Shiur 511 – Fraud in Frum Clothing: The Eretz HaKodesh Conspiracy. When the Conservative Movement infiltrated the Chareidi world — what really happened?

JL;DR SUMMARY The episode examines a controversial smear campaign allegedly orchestrated by senior conservative members against the Haredi community's Eretz HaKodesh faction in the WZO elections, involving alleged subterfuge and ethical gray areas in political tactics. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

"When Kedusha departs, impurity, in other words, Tumah, enters into its place. This is the same concept of when somebody, who passes away, his neshama, his soul, departs, and with that void of Kedusha, enters the Tumas Meis, the impurity. This is also very similar to the Chazal that tell us that when somebody is under attack from the Yetzirah, take that Yetzirah to the Beis HaMadrash."
