Rav Dov Landau Directs Chareidim to Withdraw from Zionist Institutions but Continue Voting!

Interesting, very interesting!

 Rav Dov Landau what has suddenly changed?

 And why continue voting? Could it be because of the mighty shekel??

 R' Landau says we "continue voting because of the ruling of previous "dead" rabbis! Well, the "previous rabbis" ruled that they should join the government, and they ruled that way at a time when the government was entirely Leftist!

Rav Landau is finally smelling the morning coffee and has been told that the majority of frum Jews cannot understand why healthy chareidim won't help their brethren fight in a war for survival! He was also told that Frum Jews support the government stopping payments to avreichim that refuse to work! 

He figures that if he gets his followers to disconnect like he himself is disconnected that will keep the naive Litvishe followers in check! 

What this report leaves out is actually the most ridiculous thing R' Landau said, he wants "to live under the Arab Flag!" Why doesn't he move to Ramallah?

Most Israelis welcome Rav Landau's ruling, in fact, I saw all the Leftist Media celebrating! ,

Rabbi Dov Landau, a prominent leader within Israel’s Lithuanian ultra-Orthodox community, has instructed representatives of the Degel HaTorah political party to withdraw from all participation in Zionist institutions, citing ideological differences.

 In a letter published in the ultra-Orthodox daily Yated Ne’eman, Landau criticized Zionism as a secular movement “rooted in heresy and rebellion against divine sovereignty,” urging that any involvement in Zionist institutions is a form of support for beliefs that contradict traditional Jewish values.

Landau’s opposition comes amid ongoing debates about the role of ultra-Orthodox communities within Zionist frameworks. While Israel’s ultra-Orthodox factions have long distanced themselves from the Zionist project, recent shifts have seen more Orthodox participation in institutions like the World Zionist Organization (WZO). However, Landau’s stance remains firm in rejecting involvement in these bodies, emphasizing the theological divide between secular Zionism and religious Judaism.

The directive to withdraw from the WZO and its affiliated bodies could have significant implications for Degel HaTorah, a key faction within the United Torah Judaism party. The WZO, which oversees influential bodies like the Jewish Agency and the Jewish National Fund, plays a critical role in global Jewish affairs. The decision marks a deepening rift in Israel’s religious-political landscape, particularly in relation to the ultra-Orthodox community’s interaction with secular institutions.
