Having Thrown Victims of Abuse Under the Bus the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Releases Kol Korei on Decrees of Israeli Government

 

Instead of cleaning house in their own institutions and moisdois, the Agudah releases this useless irrelevant statement condemning the Israeli Government.

Does anyone out there really believe that Bennett after reading this Kol Korah, will call  an emergency meeting with his cabinet to discuss the points in this rebuke?

Does anyone out there seriously think that Lieberman will now shiver in his boots because some rabbis in New York are not happy with the government?

Now, I am not happy with the government either and yes precisely because of the points brought up in the Kol Korah, but is this the way they will change even one MK's mind?

If they, the Moetzes keep covering up and looking away at serial sexual abusers, at thieves and refuse to clean up their own moisdois why in the world should  the Israeli government give two bits and take seriously what the Agudah is concerned about?

And who exactly respects what the Moetzes says or does?

Satmar? Chabad? Belz? Klozenberg? 

Who do they represent? Ed Koch, former mayor of New York once said about the Chassidic community, "They are a minority of a minority," The Moetzis represents a minority of a minority of a minority!

And now I'll let the Moetzes into a little secret. The Chareidie Parties said last week on Kan 11 an Israeli TV Station  that should the government collapse they are ready to sit with Lapid! 

With Lapid? The Rasha Me' Rusha? who they called Hitler ym"s? Yes with that very Lapid ...and do you know something, they would sit with Lieberman too , if only he gave the moisdis some money!

Guys.. It's all about the rent!

Agudath Israel of America, today, shared a Kol Korei from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America:

Shevat 5782

We hear cries of pain from our brothers who dwell in Eretz Yisroel as the Israeli government plans decrees that will seriously affect the Torah population there. Examples include:

 

• desecrating the Kosel HaMaaravi – the last remnant of the Beis Hamikdash and the place from which the Divine Presence has never left – by permitting in it mixed prayer services and desecrations of our holy religious values;
• acting to remove the safeguards for modesty accepted by the chareidi population upon themselves with respect to the use of “kosher” phones;
• spreading Shabbos desecration such as in public transportation and the like;
• canceling oversight over kashrus;
• intruding into the education systems of chareidi institutions;
• conspiring to undermine the yeshivos by forcibly conscripting their students;
• and, most pressing now, acting towards weakening Jewish identity and holiness by allowing any community the authority to perform conversions. This will result in invalid conversions where the convert does not properly accept upon himself the obligations of Torah and mitzvos.

 

The ultimate outcome of all this will be to uproot the Torah from its status as the foundational identity and eternity of the Jewish people, and to turn the Jewish people into a nation like all others.

We address the Israeli government: You have no right to intrude into the realm of Torah, mitzvos, or Jewish education. These are the pupil of the eye of the Jewish nation. We will object strongly against these plans, just as our ancestors have over the course of history stood against any who have attempted to turn us away from Torah law.

To the G-d fearing religious public we say: This is a time fraught with danger for the Jewish nation, and we must cry out – from the depths of our hearts – that Hashem save us. We are obligated to increase our tefillah until Hashem awakens a heavenly spirit by which these edicts will be cancelled.

May it be Hashem’s will that the words, “They shall do no evil nor any destruction in my entire holy land,” (Yeshayah 11:9) speedily be fulfilled, and may we merit the day when the Glory of Hashem fills the world.
