The Rebbe The Rebbe of Karlin Stolin arrived at his Beit Midrash in Jerusalem on
the occasion of Simchat Sheva Berachot for his grandson when Charedie extremists
physically attacked the Rebbe and Rabbi Zilber
This morning, the Rebbe addressed the events harshly but warned:
"Violence is not the way of Torah"
This was a celebration of Sheva Berachot for the grandson of the Rebbe of Karlin Stolin, who got married this week in Givat Ze'ev
On previous occasions when the Rebbe arrives at a site, Charedie extremists gather and protest with insults and curses against the Rebbe, claiming that the Rebbe was making compromises on the issue of ultra-Orthodox enlistment in the army and other strange claims.
This time, the riots escalated and they tried to physically hit the Rebbe anddamage his car. The Chassidim in Karlin fought back, and severe violence developed.
The person who was also attacked at the scene was the Talmudic Gaon Rabbi Michal Zilber, who was subjected to screaming and shouting.
The "Paragod" news reported this morning that elements in the fanatic circle are scrambling to ask for forgiveness from Rabbi Zilber, because they claim that the demonstrators did not know that he was the rabbi in the car. Rabbi Zilber spoke out very strongly against those demonstrators.
Following the remarks, the Rebbe of Karlin Stolin addressed his followers this morning and referred in an unusual way to the attacks against him last night in Jerusalem.
In his remarks, he praised the dedication of his Chassidim to preserve his dignity from the violent disturbances that have no boundaries, but warned against the use of force against them and said that violence is not the way of the Torah.
