New Square Hasidic Comedian Caught On Video Dancing With 'Immodestly' Dressed Woman In Bedroom
Moshe Mordecai Loeffler, whose stage name is Menashe Lustig, is a Sqvere hasidic comedian, actor, and writer who works in Yiddish. He allegedly defended Shaul Spitzer's 2011 arson attack against Aron Rottenberg and family because Rottenberg refused to pray in the Sqvere Rebbe's minyan or attend his tisch. Now Loeffler has been caught on video dancing with an 'immodestly' dressed woman in a bedroom.

NOT only is he a chasid, but he is also a big deal asshole in the community fighting for the rabbi, and going all out against men and women that don't follow the rabbi to the core.
This is just a small example of how corrupt the system is, how fake it is and how everyone is only "frum" when it comes to someone else!
The video does not even show what happened after the dance.
God , this people are so fake its nauseating

Check out the vid on you tube, good comment there. Does seem like a setup. He heads out as soon as the woman is seen.
This video is out of context, and I aint no defender of the sids in general.

So, a funny thing happened to me on the way to the mikvah...
Is that a mezuzah in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
No problem, it's really a boy. He's wearing a hat, isn't he?
Posted by: Broadway Ali | September 25, 2013 at 11:16 AM
He runs away once he realizes its being recorded! STOP with coverup bullshit excuses! she is in HIS bedroom, what else do you need? you will not find me in another men's bedroom unless i have an agenda
Amazing how the propaganda damage control machine is out in the forces! You were caught and you're paying the consequences END OF STORY!
Posted by: Barbara Huffing | September 25, 2013 at 11:19 AM
Could just as easily been a practical joke. Some guy sends in that girl to get it on film because it is funny. You would have a hard time incriminating that dude for any actions in that out of context clip. Just my opinion. I really have no idea if he is a phony or just a good sport.

Mr Pard must be Mr. Lustig. Love it how the propaganda machine will twist and blame everyone but the guy.
He was caught with his pants down and thats the end of story!
A guy that does not pray in the rebbes shul deserves to be burned but he can dance with a half naked girl in HIS bedroom, make perfect sense to me
The best they can say "it was a setup" HIS bedroom HIS dancing and it was a set up, you gotta love these assholes

Oh yeah, he must be a barrel of laughs.

Barbara, were you there when the vid was taken? Are you that woman in the video? Search my past posts on this site, you will find no defense of anything. This is the first time I am posting to defend a suspected perp because you absolutely cannot make a case from that vid alone. As I said before, there is every possibility that the Man in the vid is a bad guy, but the vid does not prove anything and if in fact it was a joke, your condemnation of him for this out of context vid would be unfortunate. The fellow or gal that took the video could provide context as to how/why it was taken.

Shmarya.....why do you always need to be so hateful? Can't you ever been "dan lkaf zechus?" Perhaps that is his sister, and in New Square incest (and rape) is / (are) 'muttar.' 'Minhag hamakom.'

He is cut from the same cloth as the Hasids in my city rushing to the "Massage Parlor" on Friday morning before going to Mikvah. Some of the girls would make special provisions to pick up extra weekend cash. How do I know this? Simple really: I'm an accountant and many of the girls were my clients.
Posted by: Alter Kocker | September 25, 2013 at 12:30 PM
I will give Shmarya the benefit of the doubt and assume the source is trusted. If the dancing queen did indeed defend the torching of a dissident, even if it was a setup, that's karma for you.

Facts: He is in a bedroom with a scantily clad woman. They both start laughing together and clearly having a good time.
Unless the woman is his wife, there is something wrong here.
What appears ti be happening is that he is showing her chassidic dance and it is being recorded. Once she came into the recording it became a problem for him, so he moved away.
To most people this would not be news. Everyone knows that no one is a saint. However, when a guy is an outspoken person and to the extent in this guys case (defending arson for the Rebbe's minyan), his hypocrisy makes it news.

Comedy leads to mixed dancing. No more laughter.
Posted by: Yochanan Lavie | September 25, 2013 at 12:49 PM
I thought mixed dancing is one of the yahareg v'al yaavor? Perhaps even worse?

1 this is almost 2 months old, seriously try And get with the times and report ur useless "news" while its current
2 he put out a statement that in which he explained that he was dancing in his friends house (which is clearly seen on the video) when suddenly she walked in and joined ( Which again is clearly seen on the video) and he immediately stopped ( which once again is clearly seen on the video) and she (who happens to be a known .... And had many videos spread around the net) posted it in her what's app and spread it.
Please work hard and try to "report" on a non bullshit story (not like a private sect asking ppl not to use a succah on their private property or a person that was set up on a video etc) and maybe then you'll be recognized one day as an actual journalist

Do you have links to your alleged facts Voice? Seriously, if you are correct, there must be links.
Posted by: Account Deleted | September 25, 2013 at 01:44 PM
: VoiceoftruthOf -
no link = bullshit. and even a link to his statement means little. what else would you expect him to say in light of video evidence?
youve been deprived of any training in critical thinking. no surprise. its what your community relies on to avoid scrutiny and reason.

pard is not a charedi apologist . he's just being fair in assessing that the video COULD have been a setup.
Posted by: ah-pee-chorus | September 25, 2013 at 02:20 PM
He laughs, becuase he knows who played the prank on him, but he literally recoils and becomes uncomfortable when the female shows up. He's laughing to someone who was in on the joke, but he's distinctly uncomfortable by the female's presence. I'm with Pard 100% on this one. No defense for they guy in general, but the video proves (if anything) only that he is uncomfortable even dancing next to a female.
Posted by: Maskil | September 25, 2013 at 02:24 PM
I second Maskil,
He may be an a--hole but looking at the vid I'd say he was pranked.

This loeffler looks to me developmentally challenged, in other words brain damaged.
Posted by: jancsibacsi | September 25, 2013 at 03:30 PM
The clip is a little to short to draw any conclusions.

Would you really want to see something like that involving this guy? gggggghr (sound of barfing)!
Oh yeah, no danger of that, since she's not a little boy.
Posted by: Feminista | September 25, 2013 at 04:20 PM
He's obviously getting ready for Simchat Torah.

Personally, I don't expect people - religious or otherwise - to be perfect. We're all flesh and blood; we all having failings, weaknesses, desires, and whatnot. So, a guy in a kippa and tzitzit dancing with a lady in a short sheathe dress and fedora in a hotel room doesn't freak me out. Nor does someone having that kind of lapse in judgment compounding it with getting caught on tape particularly offend me. Bad judgment is bad judgment. Unless it was his wife, though somehow I doubt it. Should it happen? Certainly not. Does he need to teshuvah? Yeah, but I'm not the judge of the universe. Hassid ho-downs with hotel hottie, so what? BUT, this guy attacks others for not being religious when he's doing this kind of thing and has the unmitigated gall to play more hassidishe than thou? I know scads of Jews from across the spectrum - from hareidim to modern orthodox to conservative to reform to unaffiliated - who would never do something like this because they have real piety and love of our nations ways and values in their veins. Its the hypocrisy - not the hottie - that is the real problem here.

Her recently shed clothing is laying on the floor behind where he is dancing. Explain that.
Posted by: singlemalt | September 28, 2013 at 11:10 PM
you all have it wrong.
he was doing the hucklebuck and Alice walked in .
I think he was pranked - the isn't bad looking either.
Posted by: old time brooklyn | September 29, 2013 at 10:04 AM
the girl is not bad looking ...

Thanks for a simple story about someone elses inadequate discipline. I am sure you will be in good shape in the come and get me now yeshiva system.
Posted by: Western Jew | September 30, 2013 at 11:45 AM
He didn't do anything wrong here, in fact you can see him running away from her, I'm very proud of him, what a holy jew
Posted by: JohnCenaLIVE | October 01, 2013 at 05:55 PM
First, there is a second woman in the room as he tries to push her phone away as he leaves. Listen to the sound. Second, he sounds like Lou Costello the comedian from the old Abbot and Costello duo. Third, the Koshr lamp on the night table is a nice touch. Fourth Hava Mina hit the nail on the head with his comments. Fifth, he is running away from the video not the girls. Sixth, this video proves hat the yetzer horah works 24/7. He had no business being in that room unless he does air condition repairs by dancing.
