calming Bnei Braq down
Rav Chaim Kanievsky and Rav Gershon Edelstein have called on the Haredi community to avoid participation in any protests and definitely not to join with reckless people who use violence.
They also say not to get close to any place where such protests are happening, and one should control his sense of curiosity - seeing such events is damaging to the soul.
After expressing my hope that community and police leadership try to find ways to lower the flames, I think it is important to note this call by Bnei Braq leadership. it might not help with the troublemakers, but if the crowds are smaller because the curious bystanders are staying away because of this call, the tensions will not get as high either. I hope the police also put forth similar efforts to calm the situation

That's not at all what it says, and what it says is really, really troubling. (Never mind that anyone could have made this up.)
ReplyDelete"Leaving aside that obviously no charedi goes to these demonstrations, and that no one even considers joining them, which are caused by outside agitators, you also shouldn't go near them or be curious about them."
Is a reality-denying statement really helpful in addressing the actual problems? Is this the best they can do?
