Thousands of people are expected to gather in Meron on Saturday night for a large bonfire event led by Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Joel, New York, as part of his two-week visit to Israel.
The gathering is anticipated to be one of the largest ultra-Orthodox assemblies in Israel this year, drawing Satmar followers from across the country and abroad, including sizable groups traveling from the United States.
THE DARKEI EMORI FIRE DANCE
EMAILIM BATORAH
Dancing in front of a fire would be an איסור דאורייתא
of ובחקתיהם לא תלכו.
Some might claim that dancing in front of a fire in Miron
is an accepted מנהג בישראל, and they will argue that it can’t
be wrong when you have thousands of Yidden & Rebbes
dancing around the fire.
The same argument was probably also used when there
were thousands of Yidden worshipping the עגל הזהב.
Perhaps, those planning to dance in front of the fire
should consult their מורה הוראה if this איסור דאורייתא is no
longer applicable today, and why not?
See שו”ת שבט הלוי ח”ז קל”ו
