The Frum Family under Attack from Esav Still Needs Our Help!

7/11/2019

2 Comments

 
Two years ago, a post appeared here about a frum family in England whose children were forcibly removed from their home after the family had responsibly turned to the system for help in dealing with their special-needs children. (Yes, they have more than one child with special needs, in addition to their other children.)

You can see that post here: Please Help: Frum Family under Attack from Esav

​I initially heard about this from a friend who knows the family well, and this friend was appalled.

The parents are good, sincere people who followed the guidelines of the "experts" as best they could for the good of their children, then these same people had these frum children removed to non-Jewish homes. 

I think someone told me the children are no longer in the non-Jewish homes (although I can't remember for sure), but the point is that these children have been undergoing the trauma of being uprooted like this for 2 years.

And they HAVE loving, dedicated, committed parents.

Now there is a good chance the children can be returned to their rightful parents, but it's costing the parents an arm and a leg.

A caring reader left a comment with a new link to donations to help this family.

As you'll see, there is also a letter from Rav Rubin of Manchester:
https://go.thechesedfund.com/Agq6qj/help-to-bring-our-dear-children-home

So you can see that I've personally heard from someone who knows them personally, they have a letter of support from a rav, and you can also see from the donations that people support them.

Tizku l'mitzvot!

I wish our people would wake up to what's happening now, especially when it comes to children. England is notorious with their trying and forcing the yeshivot to teach all the garbage and the social welfare systems there and even in the U.S. is becoming more dictatorial and finding every reason to take away children from their families. This is very frightening and believe it is part of the global agenda of destroying families and other horrific things. They are at war especially with Judaism and that's also the reason for trying to force their agenda in the educational systems, as they are now trying to do in NY, but, of course, there is a backlash from the frum communities, even in partnership with the Catholics about this problem and are in court fighting. The world is being turned upside down and Jews better beware; think it's a wakeup call from H' to think about doing teshuva and coming home.

As usual, your insights are very much appreciated, Bracha.

To expand on an important point you touched on:

I remember decades ago, European countries were freely putting on televisions & billboards lewd images that were still being battled against by the religious right in America.

Yet (with maybe the exception of Ireland?), Europe lost its religious bearings quite a while ago, although their religious expression was often combined with drunkenness & Jew-hatred (likely because - with the exception of some English Puritans - Europeans never tried to wipe out the pagan aspects & customs of their religion like the American religious did...until European immigrants introduced the paganism back into American church practice & customs).

But Europeans have embraced atheism & secularism (while still celebrating originally pagan customs & holidays) for decades (which is probably why Hashem is now introducing uncompromisingly religious monotheistic people into their countries).

That rejection of God, along with the underlying current of Jew-hatred that has always existed in Europe, means that European societies cannot tolerate frum Jews.

They want to put on an act to avoid being called bigots, especially since the Shoah occurred on European soil, but really, as far as I know, there isn't anything in their secular Godless modern ideologies that allows them to tolerate the Torah.

I'm generalizing of course.

Certainly, there are individual exceptions. But in general, looking at England & Scandinavia (a commenter on the original post mentioned the Chabad family in Sweden), and so on, this seems to be true.

Thank you.
