Rabbi Kessler spoke after the attack in Neve Ya’akov and stated that the Arabs were not allowed to possess weapons; “It has nothing to do with whether the victims were carrying weapons or not, sometimes the weapon in the Arab’s hand did not work, and sometimes in the case of A it worked and in the case of the second he was arrested, as well as the security guards, Sometimes they shot in the air and the terrorist continued on his way”
The rabbi of the city of Modi’in Illit, the Gaon Rabbi Meir Kessler, gave a speech at his seminary after the attack that took place at the Ramot intersection on Saturday night a week and a half ago and referred to the carrying of weapons due to the sensitive security situation.
The rabbi said that one of the city’s residents called him and introduced himself as a man who had a weapon from his past, and he asked if it was permissible or proper to carry the weapon on Shabbat, “I asked him,” said Rabbi Kessler, “what happened?” And he began to say that they say that the Arabs are taking advantage of the fact that the ultra-orthodox public does not carry weapons, so they try to attack the rooms, especially on Shabbat.
“When I began to explain to him that the reality proves that there is no connection between the things, he replied that he is an Avarach and does not know about all this news, I answered him if you are an Avarach, an Avarach does not carry a weapon,” Rabbi Kessler said.
Later, Rabbi Kessler explained and analyzed the attacks that occurred in recent times, “It has nothing to do with whether the victims were carrying a weapon or not, sometimes the weapon in the Arab’s hand did not work, and sometimes for A it worked and for the second it stopped, and also for the security guards, sometimes they shot in the air and the terrorist He continued on his way and killed several Jews, or fell silent and did not respond.”
Rabbi Kessler said that one must show an agreement with a committee that G-d sends and everything is done under careful private supervision, that terrorist in Neve Ya’akov refrained from shooting those and did not refrain from others, this assumption that Arabs harm the ultra-Orthodox precisely because they do not carry weapons has two dangers in it. 1. This opinion may cause us to rid ourselves of a mental account of why God did this to us. B. Behind this claim is hidden a tendency to introduce new norms into it that have broad spiritual consequences.
He concluded his words by saying that we proceed from the clear assumption that G-d demands more from us than from the others, and the Yeshiva Rosh HaGrij Edelstein said that all the events in the world aim to arouse the God-fearing to become stronger and that the other rabbis are completely exaggerated.
Later in his speech, he spoke about the ultra-Orthodox right-wing bloc and said that because an illusion was created that the ultra-Orthodox public has reached the resting place and that everything is in our hands, and we can ask for any budget we want and enact any law that will prevent the High Court from intervening, and there is no guarantee that after they enact the passage of overcoming, there is no assurance that those laws will not be repealed. But the very confidence in a full right-wing government, as the delusional Christian extremists say, is a wrong thing.
