Just recently, I got hold of a rather weird Parashat HaShavua (Parashat Parah) published by the Mea Shearim "Neturei Karta". On the back of the page there was a little box with the title "Wake Up". Unfortunately, I haven't found out which of the two Mea Shearim Neturei Karta groups is responsible for this Parasha Daf: Rabbi Yoelish Kroisz or Rabbi Israel Hirsch.
However, among others, it said in the "Awakening Box" that "Mordechai was a Jew (see Megillath Esther) and not a Ziyoini - מרדכי היה יהודי ולא ציוני".
While reading this, I was just wondering what Mordechai would have said to this statement.:-)
Is Yoelish Krauss in anyway respected within the Haredi community? Reading haredi forums and messageboards most people seem to think he's a lowlife.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure about his position. He is definitely not too respected and his Neturei Karta branch has many fights with the Toldot Aharon although Kroisz was born into Toldot Aharon.
