Because of the internal struggles: Thousands of Gur Hasidim, who came from Gur Hasidic concentrations around the country, this evening (Sunday) blocked downtown Bnei Brak and disrupted traffic throughout the city – in protest of a complaint filed in the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court against influencers and activists – including Rabbi Shlomo Zvi Alter’s son .
The complaint was filed by Rabbi Akiva Grinzig, who is a member of the community of Gershom Alter, for harassment and defamation of members of the Rosh Yeshiva Magor community.
Sources in Gur Hasidism tell Haredim 10 that a protest rally, held along Hazon Ish Street, was organized as part of the court leaders’ efforts to stem the tide of Hasidim abandonment towards the community of Rosh Yeshiva Magor.
The newspaper HaModi’a, a magazine for Gur’s followers, published on Friday, in headlines on the front page of the newspaper, that the protest rally was due to attempts to “intervene in the pure education” of Gur’s followers.
However, the court rejected this claim today, when Judge Yael Predelsky stated in the minutes: “To the court’s knowledge, there is no talk of education in Gur institutions at all.”
At the hearing that took place this morning in the case, in which the parties were required to appear in court, the defendants – the Rebbe’s son, members of the Gur Chassidut High Committee, headed by Rabbi Avraham Binyamin Zilberberg, Rosh Yeshivat Gur in Hatzor HaGlilit, the committee’s secretary, and two house directors Gore’s book in Arad.
The status in court was perceived in conflicting stork as degrading.
The main contention of the organizers of the protest rally, who ordered the cancellation of Torah in favor of the demonstration, is that the conflict between the parties should be discussed before a rabbinical court and according to Torah law, and not in civil courts.
On the other hand, Adv. Shlomo Elbaum, the attorney for prosecutor Grinzig, claims that he filed a civil lawsuit only after receiving a halakhic permit from Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shafran in Bnei Brak, who is considered one of the greatest judges in the world.
At a protest rally, the rabbis of the Hasidim spoke out against what they defined as harming the son of the Rebbe and the rabbis, who were forced to appear in court. Rabbi Aryeh Zilberstein, a rabbi of Gur Chassidim in Bnei Brak, said at the rally: “Humiliate the righteous, humiliate the Holy Torah, take the Rebbe’s son to court, change our education.”
Rabbi Daniel Lieberman, Rosh Yeshivat Nezer Yisrael, declared: “We want to recognize the spiritual authority of the leaders of Israel. That is the purpose of this lawsuit. “
