Satmar last Shabbos turned out in mass to protest the Williamsburg Eirav!
Question: Who were they protesting against???
Aren't all the protestors, Satmar? Don't they all listen to their rebbe not to use the Eirav?Who are they trying to bully?? The Yuppies living on the borders of Williamsburg?
Why come out in mass?
Why not just issue a psak from the Satmar Bais Din against the Eirav... period!
Answer:
The Chareidie population in Williamsburg is not only Satmar...
There is Veen, Kloizenburg, Ger, Belz, Spinkeh, Breslav, Pupa, Viznitz,Munkatch, Skver,Bobov, etc etc...
Some of those rabbis are of the opinion that the Eirav is absolutely halachically permitted!
The Satmars came out in force to bully those who are of the opinion that the Eirav is kosher!
Mind you, this is in Chutz Le'aaretz, ... and last I checked this is a free country!
Are they so worried that their chassidim who are prohibited from using the Eirav will watch other Chassidim whose rebbe told them that its permitted, and switch allegiance?
But the Hungarians gypsies think that Williamsburg is theirs, and that's even though Shvartzas are slowly reminding them where they are and whose boss!
In another Chassidous, if the rebbe issues a psak, they adhere to it and let others do what they want ... they believe in "Live and let Live!"
I remember growing up in Crown Heights, the Lubavitcher Rebbe was against making an Eirav ... and to make an Eirav in Crown Heights is one huge problem because of Eastern Parkway, but he never stopped anyone else from making one...never!
Another Question:
Who took the photos and videos?
Who told photographers to come???
These were professional photos from professional photographers ...who were hired to take photos and videos of the event to intimidate those who hold from the Eirav, so they can see how many people showed up and not to dare oppose them...
Who ordered those photographers?
If you believe that halachically there cannot be an Eirav ... so isn't this "amirah le'akum" ..aren't the photographers carrying in "reshus harabam?" And I'm sure some of those photographers were Jewish...
Is that allowed having "mechallelie shabbos" carry and do a melacha for you?
In Israel these same Satmars scream bloody murder "Shabbos" "Shabbos" when there is Chillul Shabbos...
Why is this not Chillul Shabbos???
And where is the "heter" of bullying those rebbes and talmedei chachamim who hold that an eirav is permitted?????
Is it any wonder that they are loosing thousands of their boys and girls to the secular world ... when they witness this hypocrisy????
