The Rav defers all public matters pertaining to giyus to Rav Dov Landau, as to his remarks about nachal charedi he noted Rav Steinman was not mochel those who claimed his support for these programs.

- Yated article: Learning from History: How a Yid Should Protest.
Most protests held thus far — including those in front of the jails — have adhered to the sensitivity and restraint advocated by gedolei Yisroel. They have been conducted with permits and in an orderly manner, expressing pain and suffering while making it abundantly clear that nothing will cause us to abandon the bnei yeshivos, the shevet Levi of our times.
Bnei Torah Protesting With Violence?
There is, however, a relatively small — though not insignificant — group of bnei yeshiva who, tragically, have gone well beyond the boundaries set by the gedolim of previous generations. They have engaged in dangerous and at times violent actions, running onto major highways and busy thoroughfares, endangering their lives and those of drivers by hurling themselves in front of moving cars and buses to block traffic.
Aside from recklessly risking their own lives — which is unconscionable, especially for a ben Torah who should know better — they have caused severe backlash. In their efforts to force the issue into public consciousness by paralyzing traffic nationwide, they have alienated much of the wider population, eroding any goodwill towards lomdei Torah and making it even harder to repeal these laws.
If there were a legitimate gadol b’Yisroel who explicitly endorsed and encouraged such conduct, then the logical arguments above would not apply. Chazal teach in this week’s parsha that even if they tell you that right is left or left is right, you must follow them.. more
Which pharmacy still offers free delivery?
ReplyDeleteEmes pharmacy?
Deletemany do just refuah and family don't.
DeleteWho is the Shevet Levi of our times?
ReplyDeletethat article is soiser itself mine ubei. First he write he does not know for sure what chazon ish held then later he says with authority what he cazon ish held.
ReplyDeleteAlso missing is any mention of the violent progrom perpetrated against the followers of Rav Shaul Alter on that infamous shabbos who were beaten and bloodied.
Deletewhy no article about what transpired then?
Is this selective reporting or was that violence sanctioned by the rival group leadership
No, he doesn't actually say that. Read it.
DeleteUnless the Gedolim mentioned forcefully condemn violent demonstrations, we have a right to assume that they are not really very upset by them .
ReplyDeleteNot as much as, for example, a Lipa Schmeltzer concert.
Why? Did the Brisker Rav or Chazon Ish ever forcefully condemn a Lipa Schmeltzer concert or anything like that?
DeleteSome times we need violence!
ReplyDeleteBut that's besides the point.
by saying no protests with violence is really saying no protests at all
See behind their meaning
Shmad is not so bad...
Which frum yid did violence?
Non
But yet they keep on harping against protests because of "violence
Stop it.they are trying to shmad us and we have to screem
Az ess toot vey shrayt men!!!
The history of violent demonstrations and the Chazon Ish's statements seems to have been forgotten.
ReplyDeleteSearch Israeli newspapers from the early years of the State for the words Keshet and you might find some information. People attempted to burn the knesset in the name of religion and the Chazon Ish reacted sharply.
This yated article is a sick sly attack against the bnei Torah faction even worse it was written on the very same issue that has a article about Rav Shmuel Deutsch
DeleteThere's no bnei Torah acting violent but the gedolim allow them to block roadways as a form of protest.
The writer attempted to portray them as violent
Shameful.

DeleteThe reason we cannot go to the Army is because the Army is based on violence and anti-Torah ideas.
ReplyDeleteIf we use violence to fight the Army, we have allowed the Army to influence us.
When the first punch is thrown, the idealism is gone and only ta'avas hanitzachon is left.
Your Strawman argument is completely bogus. Nice try.
DeleteI'm not 1:07 PM but I heard Reb Avrom Yeshoua Solovachick say something similar in the name of the Brisker Rav. (dem erstehn shlug is efsher l'shem Shomayim, dem tveitzen iz kein mohl nit- loosely translated that even if the hafgonas start off L'Shem Shomayim they never remain that way once they start)
DeleteI'm not 1:07 PM but I heard Reb Avrom Yeshoua Solovachick say something similar in the name of the Brisker Rav.
DeleteAre you claiming that he said this is the only, or the primary, reason not to join the promiscuous melting pot of the shilton reshaim? I call bogus.
Is there an additional lesson about אדם נפעל לפי פעולותיו? Absolutely! But that lesson should not be turned on it's head and be used to water down Judaism.
The end of the statement is not correct. If they tell you left is right, not if they tell you assur is muttar as would be the case here
ReplyDeleteThe Peleg is pro violence!!
ReplyDeleteThe writer probably watch too many videos on YWN who love to shw fake chilul Hashems without showing the full picture of Israel police brutality against the frum.
ReplyDeleteHow about when ger had violent protests in the past when a police woman was killed
You're right. That too. And that's when Ger stopped hafganos. The Rebbe realized he went too far.
DeleteEven if there is police brutality that YWN is not showing, the Chilul Hashem is the same. It's not like the police came into a beis medrash. When I was learning in EY I went to some of those hafgonas and regret it deeply. No one -myself included- was there L'Shem Shomayim. It was all thuggery and looking for a fight. Anyone who got beaten up by the police knew the risks and accepted the potential consequences by being there.
DeleteWhy was this article written in an American paper? What is the point of it all? What is the editor who unleashed this author, trying to accomplish?
ReplyDeleteTo all asking why he didn't write about certain chasidic violence:
1) Would the editor have allowed him to do so?
2) Did that violence almost completely stop?
Those who engage in such behavior very aggressively proselytize for support in the US. It is important for stress what type of group they are to Americans and what type of behavior joining that group leads to.
DeleteThose who engage in such behavior very aggressively proselytize for support in the US.
DeleteAnd? If you don't like what they're selling, sell the derech Hatorah approach without the we/THEM dynamic. It has not been the derech of the Yeshivos Hakdoshos to engage in this type of educational model and rehteric. They teach right and wrong without lambasting people who aim to be ovdei Hashem and shomrei Torah umitzvos. Just teach right without even discussing them.
It is important for stress what type of group they are to Americans and what type of behavior joining that group leads to.
Sorry, but this description of yours is synonymous with an ad hominem fallacy. It's hard for me to believe that this is the intention of the writer. I hope that this is not the intention of the writer.
Less than half correct.We have in the past called out those who blow ill winds
DeletePeople, homo sapiens, request that we support them and their actions. If we know that their actions are wrong, we should not support them.
DeleteCalling this ad hominem is just ridiculous. The entire point here is the people.
If you don't like what they're selling, sell the derech Hatorah approach without the we/THEM dynamic. You must be joking. The entire identity of that group is what and who they oppose. Did anyone ever hear from them when it was NOT about a controversial or contentious issue? Do they even have a coherent haskafa that goes beyond opposing others? I sure never saw any hint of it in their propaganda.
DeleteThe entire identity of that group is what and who they oppose.
DeleteTwo words. Psychological projection.
OK. If it's psychological projection, enlighten me. Tell me some non controversial and non contentious things that group stands for and has accomplished as part of their mission as a new group
DeleteWow! The tziyonim are rocking. Destroying the enemies of the Jewish people, one by one! Thank you Hashem for sending the tziyonim to protect us.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't Rabbonim & Rebbe's tell their followers NOT to yell Nazi or Shikze? They obviously agree that it is proper to do so
ReplyDeleteCalling them Tziyonim is even worse than calling them Nazis.
DeleteDoes anyone ask Rabbonim how to act by hafganos? I used to be an extreme anti-Zionist kanoi. Down to having a Friday night seder in Vayoel Moshe for years. What caused my disillusionment and current opposition to that haskafa was standing at an hafgana and watching the harassment of other people thinking "Had I been born to a secular Israeli or Mizchrachi family I would also hate -I mean DESPISE- the Chareidi world" Imagine someone who was actually born into such a family...
DeleteHad I been born to a secular Israeli or Mizchrachi family I would also hate -I mean DESPISE....
DeleteYep. So, someone born to a French family would despise Jews - as they do. Same with Arab and so many more. An answer obviously is to, G-d forbid, become french, Arab etc.
נהיה ככל הגוים בית ישראל
חס ושלום!
That indeed was Hertzel's thought. Same with some Frum mizrachi ministers who in 1905 voted for Uganda, in honor of Hertzel.
But it is impossible to be all of the nations who are bothered by Jews and want to harm Jews at once. So, what to do?
More importantly - what did Hashem answer the Yidden in the days of Yechezkal, the first time they said 'נהיה':
וְהָעֹלָה עַל רוּחֲכֶם הָיוֹ לֹא תִהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים נִהְיֶה כַגּוֹיִם כְּמִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאֲרָצוֹת לְשָׁרֵת עֵץ וָאָבֶן
חַי אָנִי נְאֻם ה אלקים אִם לֹא בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרוֹעַ נְטוּיָה וּבְחֵמָה שְׁפוּכָה אֶמְלוֹךְ עֲלֵיכֶם.
וְהוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מִן הָעַמִּים וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר נְפוֹצֹתֶם בָּם בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרוֹעַ נְטוּיָה וּבְחֵמָה שְׁפוּכָה
.....
...
כִּי בְהַר קָדְשִׁי בְּהַר מְרוֹם יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה שָׁם יַעַבְדֻנִי כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלֹּה בָּאָרֶץ שָׁם אֶרְצֵם וְשָׁם אֶדְרוֹשׁ אֶת תְּרוּמֹתֵיכֶם וְאֶת רֵאשִׁית מַשְׂאוֹתֵיכֶם בְּכָל קָדְשֵׁיכֶם.
בְּרֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ אֶרְצֶה אֶתְכֶם בְּהוֹצִיאִי אֶתְכֶם מִן הָעַמִּים וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר נְפֹצֹתֶם בָּם וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בָכֶם לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם
Has oct 7th and the subsequent worldwide antisemitism not taught you?
Does someone born to a French family have a REASON to despise Jews? A secular Israeli or Mizrachist who had the misfortune to be harassed because he passed by a hafgona is being given good reason to hate Chariedim. The rest of what you wrote has little relevance.
DeleteFrench people don't have a mandate of שיהא שם שמים מתאהב על ידך
DeleteNo Mizrachists voted for anywhere near Africa.
DeleteNot only that, Mizrachi did not even formally exist then
10:45
DeleteSure.Just go back far enough,almost every anti-semite has some REASON to despise
