Murder in Mea Shearim!

Rav Elyashiv's untimely passing has led to all sorts of infighting in the leadership of the haredi community, that even spawned a new newspaper as an attempt to wrest control of the haredi "street".

There are now allegations that Rav Elyashiv was actually murdered. Why someone would have murdered him I am not sure, but seeing the chaos his death has caused, I can only imagine what the motives were.

By now you are definitely wondering if I have gone crazy. Very possibly that [my going crazy] happened a long time ago, but this murder allegation was actually just alleged yesterday.

According to Bechadrei, Rav Birnzweig, a rav in the Mirrer Yeshiva, claimed during his mussar shiur, that Rav Elyashiv was murdered. He said:
Recently we have heard of gedolei yisroel who have  passed from this world, everybody must arouse themselves [to teshuva]. Rav Elyashiv and the Admor of Shomrei Emunim were murdered due to the yeshiva bochurim and kollel avreichim who use smartphones.
I thought Jewish moms were the experts at guilt trips. That's a pretty wild claim. It almost sounds like they were fighting over an iPhone in the school yard and it led to murder... "murder" isnt even "died for the generations sins" - it is much worse. I wonder if someone is going to call the police to report the murder...

  1. "due to the yeshiva bochurim and kollel avreichim"

    I deduce that for layman then it's perfectly ok to ,use smartphones and internet.

    Phew what a relief.

  2. The "utterance" of הגר"א בירנצוויג (who gave him the title, I wonder)is beyond the bounds of all arrogance. On what does he dare to base his tasteless remark?

  3. I think the French government should open an inquiry into this matter.

    1. That is probably the most tenuous explanation I have ever seen. Nice try, Anonymous, but no cigar.
