There is a "Milchamas Mitzvah" ... a war going on in Bnei Brak .....amongst Satmar Chassidim... not between the Zalonim and the Aronim but amongst the Aronim themselves....
I wish them both hatzlacha!
This is not the place or time to go into details, I just want to focus on a different issue ...
the expulsion from Yeshivah of innocent children!
The Head of the Aroinie Satmar Yeshivah in Bnei Brak is Reb Aron Teitelbaum's nephew .. a rabbi by the name of R Chaim Tzvi Meizels, he actually founded the Yeshiva ...he is fighting with his with a guy named R' Heshel Rotter ....whose father is also from the founders of the Yeshivah ....
It seems that one of the parents took sides and sided with the Rotter guy against R' Meizels ... (it's more complicated but for the sake of what I want to bring out... we will leave the story as is) ..... and when R' Aron Teitelbaum got wind of this he ordered the expulsion of the guys three innocent children from the yeshivah ...
R' Meizels, even though he was the one that was offended, is so far refusing the order from the King, R' Aron Teitelbaum, his uncle!
Now ... the Gedoilim of previous generations of all different sects were of the opinion that one doesn't mess with children....
Because if you throw out innocent children because of the sins of the parents that will inevitably cause tremendous pain for the expelled and will effect them the rest of their lives ...
I know many children that were expelled not even because of the politics of their parents but because the parents couldn't afford tuition ....
many of them went off the derech and all are somehow psychologically affected to this very day ...
they suffered humiliation, couldn't cope, bullying etc
Gedoilim believe that expelling an innocent child from a yeshivah is in the "geder" of לא תרצח "thou shall not murder"
So this ... R' Aron Teitelbaum, Monroe Satmar Rebbe keeps barking like a maniac against Zionism .... but sees no problem "murdering" innocent children!
I believe that the prohibition of לא תרצח was written 3,500 years before the "prohibition" of Zionism!
