Jerusalem witnessed a despicable Chutzpah on Wednesday when violent extremists attacked the vehicle of the Karlin-Stoliner Rebbe with teargas as he departed from a Sheva Brachos for his granddaughter. People should not remain silent when violent thugs attack one of the leading Admorim in Klal Yisroel.
The confrontation occurred in the Mea Shearim neighborhood, where a group of extremists blocked the Rebbe’s vehicle on Ezra Street. They shouted insults at him, accusing him of encouraging Charedi enlistment in the IDF. This enraged members of the Karlin community, including overseas guests, leading to a violent brawl.
“It was a shocking scene,” an eyewitness reported. “A group of extremists just blocked the Rebbe and began to spray teargas at the car. The Chassidim didn’t stand by.”
The tensions have been escalating for some time. Extremists have been targeting the Rebbe, disrupting his gatherings and events. Last Chanukah, they attempted to interfere with a Tish on Avinoam Yellin Street.
On the previous Shabbos, as the Rebbe celebrated Sheva Brachos for his granddaughter, extremists protested outside his home on Ezra Street. At Wednesday’s final Sheva Brachot in the Karlin-Stolin study hall, tensions flared when extremists blocked the Rebbe’s vehicle and hurled insults. This provoked Chassidim who tried to push them away, leading to a violent altercation that shocked onlookers.
One Chosid described the incident:
“For over an hour and a half, they stood outside yelling insults and curses at the Rebbe, calling him by name in loud voices. Everyone ignored them. But when the Rebbe left, they escalated, shoving and lying down in front of the car to prevent him from leaving. That’s when some of our people decided to remove them by force.”

Ah, the Hasidic Ahavas Yisruel, how beautiful, those Hasidics are so full of love...
What a חילול השם! Is this the way your parents and Rabbeim taught you to treat a Jew? Nothing went into your empty brains. Why are you not learning right now? Why are you not helping an old sick senior with their chores? Why are you not helping your mother with her chores? Why are you not visiting a depressed person in a hospital? Do something useful with your life.
Please include in your post that this situation has been going on for many months and the Karliner's under strict orders have never fought back.
It's unfair and out of context to start publishing the story with videos from the one time that things got out of control.
The Rebbe and followers have been assaulted too many times to count in the past year. Why was there no coverage until now?
How many of this Stalin sect serve in Tzahal?
Well, at least they don't have a smartphone! (from a comment I saw on X)
The Staliner are good at yelling, they do it at their davening all time.
