Everything is a good curse for your enemy if you look hard enough.

You’re right. No one should ever take the Vaad HaBadchanim seriously.
We’re just frum Twitter clowns with a logo.
But this was never about whether people should take us seriously. It was about whether people should take an agunah seriously.
So why did we get involved?

Crazy how I was at an event in 2020 that's only been going on since 2022, not to mention my brother in law has brought a group there every year since 2016.
Instead of working yourselves up into a racist froth, you can just google how long this has been happening and recognize the nonsense you’re seeing online is goading you into cheering on racist bs.
The first year of this annual event was in 2022!
May your kids clean up beautifully after making a ginormous mess on Shabbat, and leave the floor with just one solitary Lego piece on the floor.
And may you step on it.

@jothar I feel like I've just been repeating myself this whole time... Halacha is defined by halachic authorities, not archaeological findings. You haven't offered any precedent to change that
@jothar Not sure that any posek would agree that that counts as mesiach lfi tumo. A coin issued during his time is not the same as he himself saying it. And again, there is no proof that the coins depict the actual menorah, arguably they cant because an engraving is not an illustration
@jothar Josephus is a known unreliable narrator, and certainly holds no halachic bearing. As to why would they be shaped differently, possibly because one is not allowed to make exact replicas? See avoda Zara 43a, which also has an interesting note on the chashmonaim menora
