London Community Hires Guards with Dogs to Protect their Eirav from the "eirav rav"

 


The Chareidie extremists are becoming bolder and bolder, because the "oilim goilim" would just ignore them and say that they are just a bunch of "mashigaim." 

In Israel they damage equipment worth millions of shekels, equipment that is used to build the Light Rail. They block traffic every single day. The inmates have taking control of the asylum. This is happening because the silent majority does absolutely nothing. It is going to get a lot worse if we don't eradicate these parasites from our midst.

ובערת הרע מקרבך

In London, these bearded "eirav rav" don't want the community to live in harmony. If you don't hold from the Eiruv, don't carry. What is it your business if someone else has their own poisik that ruled that the eiruv is just fine?

If a goy would have ripped down the eiruv, we would all be screaming. 

Time to take back the streets from these barbarians. 

With the outbreak of coronavirus, an Eiruv was established in the Tottenham district of London for the first time, due to the need to make minyanim in unfamiliar places which did not previously have an eiruv.

The eiruv was established by the Kedassia Beis Din of London which provided halachic authority for the eiruv. However due to pressure from various groups opposing the eiruv, the Kedassia decided to delay the establishment of the eiruv. However those who initiated the eiruv said that it was already running and found another rabbi who is an expert in eiruvin to provide authorization for it.

The Kedassia requested a two-week break to add extra stringencies to the eiruv and afterwards the eiruv continued to exist for the past two years despite some incidents of vandalism by extremist elements.

Currently there are some 1800 chareidi families in the Tottenham district. Initially only women would carry but now almost everyone including Satmar and Bobov chasidim use the eiruv.

The Kedassia eiruv relies on two parks and a river nearby to create three mechitzos (borders) and make the eiruv even more halachically valid. However there are three streets which fall outside the three mechitzos and required a separate solution. These streets made their own eiruv in the meantime until Kedassia found a solution for them. However Kedassia did not like the ad hoc eiruv and some extremist elements affiliated with Kedassia attempted to vandalize the eiruv. In response, local residents hired a guard company to protect the eiruv.

In another situation which arose in the neighborhood, a local woman not included in the “three mechitzos” who needed an eiruv established one on her own street with the help of certain local rabbis and hired a company with guard dogs to protect the eiruv. Local elements opposed to the new eiruv removed the wooden board at the entrance to the street but the woman placed it minutes before shabbos and this enabled her and the other residents to carry on shabbos, although there were a number of arguments and fights between those who opposed the eiruv and those who favored it.

The London askanim are working hard to solve the problem and establish the final borders of the eiruv to include those streets which are not part of the three mechitzos. This will hopefully defuse tensions between those who favor eiruv and those who oppose it.

What a wealthy neighborhood the live in!

50+ years ago, when my family relocated in the middle of the school year, my sister and I were Jewish Kids number 7 and 8 in the local junior high school (15 and 16 if you counted the Mischlinge). Don't get me started with the antisemitism from the school administration, or my war stories of how I reacted to antisemitic comments from fellow students; suffice it to say that internecine warfare among the Jewish population at that school was a luxury we simply were unable to afford!

Lots of things have changed over the intervening half-century. I do have my deep differences with the Lubies, but it still does my heart good to note that there now is a Chabad franchise within 400 meters of the school grounds. Last I heard, there still was something resembling unity amongst the Jewish student population (and the neighborhood in general).

Is there any faction officially opposed or are these fanatics not listening to their own rabbonim?
