"Two-Day Blitz Campaign"
Today, Sunday and Monday, 20–21 Kislev 5781

To our dear and esteemed friends, the people of our community

The benefactors of our holy institutions, each one blessed in his good name

After many weeks of responsible meetings for the benefit of the public and the individual, as soon as it was decided that, due to the current situation, the central Seudas Hodaah and annual dinner for the benefit of our holy institutions will not take place, it was decided to approach the public with a mighty, first-ever "Two-Day Blitz Campaign," which will include the entire public of our community, the parents of the students of the institutions, and generous donors, during the days of the salvation of our holy Rebbe zy"a, this coming Sunday and Monday, Parshas Vayeishev, 20 and 21 Kislev, IY"H, at which the public will join with their annual amounts on such elevated days, and merit the blessing of Hashem in the great merit of the founder of the institutions, zy"a.
As we have already mentioned publicly, the decision came after recognizing that holding a large gathering in these days is connected with various risks of chillul Hashem, and after examining all the options, it was concluded that it would be impossible to arrange here in the city a large event, even only in the form of a shulchan hatahor, without it drawing the participation of many thousands of members of our kehilla who rejoice in the salvation of our holy Rebbe zy"a and who come to gather in the shade of the holy faith of the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a. Therefore we must fulfill the Mishnah "calculate the reward of a mitzvah against its loss," and show restraint for our benefit and for the benefit of the public.
But dear people of our community, may they live:
This decision must not, Heaven forbid, come at the expense of the thousands of boys and girls who depend on our help!
Therefore we have arranged the "Two-Day Blitz Campaign" to raise the huge sums that we must receive from the public to cover the annual deficit in the multi-million dollar budget, and we truly must rely on the help of every individual.
Now is the time when you will show your fervent love and support for the "Rebbe's holy institutions" and ensure their continued power of holiness, immediately and for generations!
For this campaign, rich "Mesibos L'Chaim" will take place in honor of the salvation of our holy and pure Rebbe zy"a, this coming Sunday and Monday, 20 and 21 Kislev, throughout all the morning hours, in the great batei medrash of our holy kehilla: the Beis HaMedrash HaGadol (Hooper St.), Beis Medrash Beis Menachem Tzvi (Wallabout St.), and Beis Medrash Berach Moshe (Skillman St.).
In honor of the campaign, we have put effort into several raffles, in addition to the annual "V'nasnu Goral" raffle in which the winner receives back 25 times the amount of his donation over the entire year, and there is the possibility of winning the astronomical sum of $25,000! We have also arranged another "ten raffles" for "ten winners," with $1,000 worth per raffle, for every donation of $360 toward supporting the institutions.
For your convenience, we have set up a 24-hour automated "donations line" that is ready to receive your donation at all hours throughout the blitz campaign. Call the number: 718-362-1404 #0 and leave your donation, or leave a message and the institution's askanim will come to collect your generous donation for the support of "the Rebbe's institutions."
You can also call the chief askanim directly, R' Nesanel Braun: 917-574-6768 or R' Yoel Mertz: 347-452-1411, and they will come personally to collect your donation, or arrange it through quick pay email: qpcuta@gmail.com. You can also bring your donation to the front desk of the central office at 76 Rutledge St. between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Dear people of our community, parents of the boys and girls of the institutions, may they live!
Our holy Rebbe zy"a gave away his holy life for us and for our generations, to establish proper and holy institutions where our children would be educated in the ways of Torah and yiras Shamayim. Today is the time when we repay him for his toil and holy work! Answer the call of his faithful emissaries and join with large sums in the current "Blitz Campaign"!
Call the automated "donations line": 718-362-1404 #0
May his great merit suffice to repay you with all the wishes of your hearts for good, sons and grandsons occupied with Torah and mitzvos, with joy and nachas from your own children, for long days and good years, with good health, in wealth and happiness and all good forever.
With great respect
The institutions' administration – Dinner Committee.

The kindnesses of Hashem have not ended, for His mercies have not run out!!!
With holy excitement and an uplifted spirit, thousands upon thousands of chassidim are preparing for the great day of 21 Kislev, the day of salvation and release of Maran, the holy Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zy"a, to thank and praise the Creator "in those days," that He left us a remnant and a survivor, the holy Rebbe zy"a, who rebuilt Yiddishkeit, "and to offer praise and thanksgiving in this time," that we can remain on his holy path without the slightest change. Fortunate are we, how good is our portion, that we are students of his successor, who continues his path in holiness, the commander of Hashem's army, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, who continues the pure chinuch on the path paved for us by the holy Rebbe, the Baal HaNes zy"a, and walks in the ways that the Baal HaNes taught us, the way of the Torah and tradition, and does not budge the slightest bit from the holy path!

At the same time, the chassidim will support with generous hand and open heart the inheritance of the Baal HaNes zy"a, the Satmar institutions in Williamsburg — in light of the situation, the annual dinner for the institutions will not take place — and thereby give the greatest nachas ruach to the holy Baal HaNes, that the institutions flourish, baruch Hashem, for glory and splendor!!!

I give thanks before You, Hashem my God, for all the kindness You have done with me!!!

Last night, Motzei Shabbos, at the dinner for the benefit of our holy institutions in Kiryas Joel, with its more than 10,000 children, bli ayin hara, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a delivered, in words of Torah, powerful words of guidance to the chassidim, residents of Kiryas Joel. First the Rebbe spoke about the expansion of the boundaries of holiness in Kiryas Joel and praised the generous donors among the residents of Kiryas Joel. In the Rebbe's words, in lashon kodesh: "..One can say with confidence that in the entire world there are no such distinguished philanthropists who give with a cheerful countenance such large sums to be able to build such magnificent large buildings.."
He then turned to the neighborhoods being built in Kiryas Joel, in fulfillment of the holy will of the founder of the town, the holy Rebbe zy"a, and stated that in this year of 5781, several hundred families from "outside Kiryas Joel" will be added to Kiryas Joel, moving out of the filthy streets, which means another thousand children, bli ayin hara, in the institutions, may they continue to multiply.

Afterwards the Rebbe spoke at length with words of guidance, particularly about the vessels that were brought in and the homes in the days of the epidemic, which must be cleansed from the houses, and about breaches in modesty among women, particularly the new modern fashion of wearing gowns at weddings. He then concluded with his holy blessings for the residents of Kiryas Joel, and strong blessings for a complete recovery for all the sick of Israel,

In light of fresh State letters to a number of mosdos:

Klal Yisroel cries out with determination and will make clear to the government:

We will not agree to any compromises regarding the pure chinuch!
"The chinuch of our children belongs solely to our rabbonim and not to any government agencies; we will change nothing from 20 years ago"
The coming days are very critical for the chareidi community in New York, after the State government sent a "questionnaire" with about 100 questions to be answered to a number of mosdos in New York City, which seeks to creep deep inside the heart of the holy mosdos with the aim of opening the door to full government interference in the pure chinuch of our dear holy children, may Hashem protect us.


The clear position of the chareidi community: We are changing nothing
New York Jewry now stands at a critical turning point, as in the coming days it will finally become clear how further negotiations with the government will proceed, and the chareidi community cries out with a fiery voice: We must, and will, make clear to the government that the pure chinuch is the apple of our eye, and no one will touch it! Everything that has been good until today will also be good from now on. We possess the best educational system, and there is no need whatsoever for any government interference.

The upright, devout public in New York is not prepared to agree to any compromises. Although there are outside, foreign elements who for several years now have been seeking to adopt a course of "trying to get by," it becomes ever clearer that the overwhelming majority, in numbers and in stature, of New York Jewry and its leaders are firmly resolved to make clear to the government from the very first minute that we are not prepared for negotiations, we do not want to hear of any compromises, but rather everything should remain as it was and continue in the same manner as until now.


A look at the past - the purpose of the "Felder law": no change whatsoever in the mosdos!
During the discussions surrounding the topic, the past was also raised, how an attempt was made to save the chinuch through the famous "Felder law," which was carried out on Leil Shimurim of Pesach 5778 by the heroic Orthodox senator R' Simcha Felder, may he live, under the guidance of the commander of Hashem's army, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a. Now, as we cry out to the government that "we are changing nothing," there are those who look back and ask whether this is something of a change from before, since that law did contain several "subjects," and if so, perhaps it had a side effect of "showing" the government a willingness for a change in the mosdos.

All the askanim who accompanied this, longtime quiet askanim with years of expertise in the law, show very clearly, however, that on the contrary, the devout mosdos then, just like now, never, Heaven forbid, gave any statement or explanation that "we are prepared to 'change' anything!" Such a thing never happened with the devout askanim. What our legal representatives wanted to put into the "law" was clearly aimed at the same clear purpose, that "nothing" should be altered in the order and content of the curriculum! And that it should be possible to fulfill the requirements legally only with the subjects that were already being taught in previous years - as established by the gedolei Yisroel of the previous generation, and especially by the Satmar Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zt"l, who established the pure chinuch here in America, and by whose word everything is decided - but nothing more will be added.

Had that law been fully approved according to the original plan, it would have been the ultimate salvation to free all the mosdos haTorah in New York from the anticipated decree on chinuch, and even the amended version could have been used to save New York Jewry from its persecutors - and that is indeed why in those days it was welcomed by the "entire" chareidi community in New York, from all segments and circles, who saw in the law a tremendous achievement and expressed warm and heartfelt thanks to the heroic Senator R' Simcha, may he live, for standing firm in defense of the pure chinuch.
Unfortunately, however, there were then certain liberal elements who at the very last minute made several changes that considerably twisted the original purpose of the Felder law, and enabled it to be interpreted "in two ways," both "for the better," in that it would remove the then-existing legal "equivalency" problem, and "for the worse," in that it would not remove from the original law the requirement that every institution must, Heaven forbid, be equal to the public schools.

In practice, although the law in essence provided the State government a way down from the tree, to stop at those subjects and not carry out the harsh and bitter decree, unfortunately the wicked were like a stormy sea, and the informers found a attentive ear with the previous State Education Commissioner, Ms. Elia, and she did decide to take the shameful path and carry out the original harsh and bitter decree, which threatens tens of thousands of children across the length and breadth of New York.

And here it must be emphasized that she did this even though for several years already others had been trying to tell the government - as if on behalf of certain mosdos - that "we are improving, we are already changing the books, and we are going to change the hours too, etc.," it accomplished nothing! Rather, it perhaps even opened the door so that the commissioner would see there was a chance of succeeding with the bitter decree, may Hashem protect us.

But as stated, all this is only to clarify the facts of the past for whomever it concerns. In practice, where things stand now, the original decree has been carried out, and "for the present they have come" — all the gedolei Yisroel who are repeating our clear position that we are making no changes.



Even after the bitter decree was carried out: Heaven forbid to say "we are going to change"!
Now, as we stand in a time of war, the chareidi community must continue to present a united front and declare with passion and a clear, unambiguous voice: No compromises will be made, and the tens of thousands of chareidi parents will not allow the government to interfere and dictate the chinuch of our children!

The gedolei Yisroel stand very firm in their course, that to tell the government "we are changing, we are going to change even more" is a terrible mistake, and the united course will be only one: the mosdos change nothing! We never agreed to change our status, and we will continue to change nothing. Our chinuch is the best there can be, the nations of the world can come learn from us... not, Heaven forbid, the other way around!

Last year it was already seen that when the chareidi community showed a firm, united front and managed to reach an incredible 140,000 petitions against the previous version of the shameful regulation, the government broke, and now it is incumbent upon us to continue showing strength and unyieldingness. And in the merit of remaining faithful to the ways of our forefathers and rabbonim, and with a united strength of the public, we will merit, with Hashem's name, "we will do and we will succeed, and every weapon formed against you shall not prosper"!

Lately, weddings are being disrupted. The Charedi world is plagued by liberal whims, whereby "Black Lives Matter" is allowed to hold mass gatherings, while "Black Hats Matter" is not.

But before this period there was another obstacle for Jewish simchas, namely: money... "Without money, there is no wedding!"

When it comes to a dinner, this is even more true. Without money, there are no lavish seudos, cheesecakes, gifted speakers, and so on. The chinuch of the boys and girls will not benefit from it at all...

When you are leaving your house on Motzei Shabbos and already know which table you are going to, where to park, and so on, do not forget your "taster," because at the dinner this is the most important and "dearest" thing!
