Picture of the Day
Want to know why we are heading into another lockdown, from lockdown to lockdown? This picture is a good example.
While I am not quite clear on the details of what happened, there was a wedding in Beitar last night. The big event, with many guests and no adherence to any rules and restrictions, was among the Toldos Avraham Yitzchak chassidim.
The strange part of this is that the police came in at one point and instead of breaking it up, giving out fines or arresting anyone, the police went over for brachas from the Rebbe. Later the police went back in at the end of the wedding, after most people had left, and confiscated the sound equipment - I have no idea what that was supposed to accomplish.
Enough of the people don't care and the police don't enforce. That is why we are in the situation we are in.

There was a similar story earlier in the year, but it turns out that it wasn't exactly as reported.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I remember in that case the police officer entered the event to break it up, but wanted to do it as peacefully as possible. The Rebbe saw the police officers, and before they ordered everyone out, the Rebbe asked him to come close so they could discuss. When the officer approached the Rebbe, the Rebbe put his hands on him and offered him a Bracha. Every time the officer tried to speak to ask people to leave, the Rebbe interrupted him with another Bracha.
Eventually everyone left peacefully.
If that is what is happening in this picture, I think that the officer should be commended for resolving the issue peacefully, instead of triggering a violent riot.
