After some groups in Breslov threatened to hold mass protests at Ben Gurion Airport if they were not allowed to travel to Uman, citing concerns that many could be arrested for being draft dodgers,
Harav Shalom Arush issued the following statement.
Demonstrations are not the Jewish way, saying: “It is forbidden to demonstrate — that is not our path. We do not act with force, only with prayer.”
Rabbi Arush added that efforts are being made with the Prime Minister and ministers through respectful and peaceful means. “We are trying to work with the government in a good way. Chas Vesholam to protest — we follow the way of the Torah.
