Guest Post: Dollars and Yom HaDin

What I am about to say might be completely wrong, but I suspect that on the Great Day of Judgment [Yom HaDin], the Heavenly Court will show that Jews spent hundreds of millions of dollars each year on kosher cruises and eating in very expensive kosher restaurants (with those in Manhattan being the most expensive of all.)

Next, Heavenly Court will ask Jews why yeshivot were constantly in debt, and why kiruv rechokim was ridiculously underfunded in comparison to the super-massive need, and why pro-Israel activist organizations were also underfunded in comparison to their needs.

What I am about to say might be completely wrong, but I suspect that on the Great Day of Judgment, the Heavenly Court will ask Jews why they spent many hundreds of millions of dollars more-than-necessary on engagement parties, vort ceremonies, and super-expensive weddings; millions of dollars that would have been more-wisely-spent on helping Jews in various ways.

What I am about to say might be completely wrong, but I suspect that on the Great Day of Judgment, the Heavenly Court will ask Jews why they spent millions of dollars on deadly cigarettes and strong liquor and unnecessary newspapers; millions of dollars that would have been better-spent on helping poor Jews in many ways.
