Chaim Tzvi is next

We already broke the news that Chaim Herzog is taking Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Groner to beis din in New York over his sacking. Now it is all over the Jewish online world, even on the Crown Heights web site! Herzog has hired Gershon Schusterman as his toen, and Schusterman has a reputation for not being truthful (b'loshon n'kiyo) when it comes to beis din things. So it is probably a good match - probably they didn't want to hire Mendel Kaminetzky because he is the lowest of low.

In the meantime, what has Herzog done? His famous google ads now have a new target - Chaim Tzvi himself.

There is now another Herzog site dedicated to defaming Chaim Tzvi Groner and making fun of his head shlichus, which he inherited from his father OBM. The site has a copy of a "media release" from Chabad of Melbourne CBD which attacks the story on JTA. JTA is a well known reputable Jewish news source - like the Jewish Reuters, and the story on Herzog was picked up by Jewish sites all over the world.

The crazy thing is that the third result in the search is from Chabad of the CBD also, talking about when they hosted Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Groner! This is typical of Chaim Herzog and his father Henry Herzog - one minute someone is their friend and the next they are the worst enemy.

All this goes to show that Herzog will attack anyone who opposes him in the most disgusting way. Not only that, he will attack anyone he thinks is opposing him, even if they arent really because he is so paranoid.

Herzog Sacked

Mazal Tov!

Chaim Tzvi Groner has sent Chaim Herzog a letter saying that he is no longer a shliach and not allowed to use Chabad's name.
Herzog has called Chaim Tzvi to Beis Din before the Vaad Rabbonei Lubavitch in New York. Three Rabbonim will be picked to hear the case and either decide to uphold Chaim Tzvi's sacking or chas vshalom to put Chaim Herzog back as a shliach.
Everyone in New York cant understand why it took Chaim Tzvi so long to do this. Its official that you are not allowed to be a shliach if you are a bochur. Kotlarsky has already said that as far as he is concerned Herzog is not a shliach. Maybe they should also check if he really has semicha? Ask Rabbi Yaroslavsky if he actually tested him in person or just relied on faxed answers that Mendel Kaminetzky wrote.

Herzog has rushed to New York to deal with this case.

Who is taking care of Chabad of the CBD in the meantime? Raskin has not been there for weeks so it must be Mendel Kaminetzky. Maybe he will be the new shliach there?

Banned from YG Melbourne

Finally the Rabbis in Melbourne have taken a stand against Chaim Herzog for his crazy antics. Yeshivah Gedola has banned him from entering for a month. Here is the letter they sent him after his most recent outburst.

See how they address him as "Mr" and not "Rabbi"? This is probably because he paid Mendel Kamintzky to do his smicha test and fax the answers.

Now he wont be able to harass the YG shluchim and wont be able to stop them working on the big Lag Baomer function with Serebryanski and JBD and East Melbourne shul.
