It took the death of a Satmar Bocher for Satmar to come to its senses! Two weeks ago when the young Litvishe Bochur got killed by a bus driver, that didn't stop Satmar from protesting! But when it hit home, then they came to their senses!
The Satmar Rebbe issued a dramatic and unprecedented directive on Motzei Shabbos instructing all Satmar chassidim in Israel to refrain from participating in protests, following the deaths of two young yeshiva students during recent demonstrations.
The directive comes after the killing of Yosef Eisenthal, z’l, and Naftali Tzvi Kramer, z’l, who were struck by Israeli bus drivers during or after protest activity.
The incidents sent shockwaves through the charedi community and intensified concerns over the safety of protest participants.
During a chizzuk address delivered at his vacation residence in Palm Springs, California, the Rebbe spoke about the growing dangers surrounding the demonstrations.
He warned that the situation on the ground has deteriorated to the point where it now poses a real threat to life.
The Rebbe stressed that the preservation of human life must take priority above all else.
He said there is no justification for placing yeshiva students and avreichim in circumstances that could lead to serious harm or tragedy.
