Batzri Counter Claims On Rabbi Eidensohn

Rabbi Eidensohn writes on his blog that Rav Y. Batzri sent him a letter that what Rav Shternbuch told him is outright lies and he has the letter from Rav Shternbuch proving it.

He then reconfirmed it to be a fraud with an angrier Rav Shternbuch.

Its important to note that the letter was not written by Rav David Batzri himself.

הרב יצחק בצרי

כבר בורר שאתה לא הולך על פי דברי גדולי ישראל בגלל אתה מקיים

בלוג, ולא רק בלוג סתם אבל בלוג מלא אם שקר ולשון הרע. עכשיו גם בורר שאתה  שקרן. הכל שרוצה לדעת את האמת צריך רק ללכת לישיבתנו ישיבת השלום איפה הם

יכולים לראות הפסק דין עם חתימת הרה"ג שטרנבוך שליט"א שהוא נתן לאמהרה"ג

המקובל הצדיק יסודי עולם דוד בצרי שליט"א. תגיד לנו הרה"ג שטרנבוך שליט"א

נתן לך רשות לשקר בשמו

I received the following letter from Rabbi Yitzchok Batzri which falsely states that my blog is full of lies and lashon harah and  that in particular I am a liar in claiming that Rav Sternbuch's view is that the so called dybuk is a manifestation of mental illness. He claims that he has the letter in his yeshiva with Rav Sternbuch's signature that he claims Rav Sternbuch gave to Rabbi David Batzri. He demands to know whether Rav Sternbuch gave me permission to lie in his name.

I asked Rav Sternbuch tonight at his grandson's bar mitzva about this "letter". He responded angrily that it is a forgery. If Rabbi Batzri has any interest in the truth - he can simply call  Rav Sternbuch and hear for himself.  I don't know who created this forgery but Rav Sternbuch said he did not sign such a letter. It is a shame that Rabbi Yitzchok Batzri feels the need to be abusive and  to attempt to slander me when all he had to do was pick up the telephone and be told by Rav Sternbuch that my words are accurate. If he choses to disagree with the obvious truth that Rav Sternbuch stated - there is no justification in questioning my integrity . I am simply the messenger.

I am now reconsidering my position vis-avis Rav Batzri, whom I though was fooled. My position on the dybbuk remains unchanged. :)
