"<i>Bayamin haham baz'man Ha Zeh</i>." These words describe the neis Chanukah
<div>that occurred years ago, but in truth, there is an ongoing struggle</div>
<div>for authentic Judaism today as well. We are fighting a battle against</div>
<div>contemporary Misyavnim, and a strategy must be formed in order</div>
<div>to win over their misguided victims.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Well, this is a difficult task. As of today, in spite of our optimism,</div>
<div>the American Jewish population numbers over six million,</div>
<div>kein yirbu, and less than seven percent identify themselves as</div>
<div>Orthodox. This translates to less than five hundred thousand Orthodox</div>
<div>Jews in the entire United States. So instead of the</div>
<div>Misyavnim in our midst, we are in the midst of the Misyavnim.</div>
<div>The Misyavnim of today are the contemporary gravediggers of</div>
<div>the tinokos shenishbu bein ha 'akum, innocent Jewish neshamos,</div>
<div>who are victimized by a spiritual holocaust sheain dugmaso. We
<div>should not lose sight of the fact that this spiritual holocaust is not</div>
<div>happening in Russia or under any atheistic dictatorship. It is right</div>
<div>here in the United States, within the framework of a benign democracy</div>
<div>with religious freedom, and it is not imposed upon us by</div>
bordering on anarchy. The once powerful leaders of this accursed
<div>country are now begging for financial handouts from the capitalistic</div>
<div>European and American governments in order to feed their</div>
hungry citizens.<br>
