Bostoner Rebbe Shlita on Upcoming Elections


Bostoner Rebbe Koissel Sivan 5770The Bostoner Rebbe, HaRav Naftali Yehuda, Shlita, who succeeded his late father the Bostoner Rebbe HaRav Levi Yitzchok zt”l, and now resides in Boston where he continues his work in the community and in expanding the work of the world renowned medical referral and chessed organization ROFEH International, has spoken out on the upcoming Israeli General Election.

Following many requests from members of the Boston Chassidic community in Israel, who regularly seek out the Rebbe’s eitza and brocha, the Rebbe has now issued a clear and unambiguous call to his Chasidim and those who value his counsel to support the list of “Gimmel”. The Rebbe notes that his call follows the rulings of the Gedolei Hador.

The Rebbe’s advice follows the clear, long held established views of his late father, from whom the present Rebbe draws strength in all matters. The Rebbe zt”l was a Member of the Moetzas Gedolei HaTorah of Agudas Yisrael both in America, and after he moved to Yerushalayim, in Eretz Yisroel and always encouraged those who cleaved to him to support Agudas Israel. The Rebbe notes that his call follows the rulings of the Gedolei Hador.

A copy of the Rebbe’s letter follows.

  1. Its good to read about this and we need to know what our English speaking Gedolim say. We English speakers have a great deal to offer but we need guidance from our leaders. Although I am not a Bostoner, I value what the Rebbe says as I knew his father the great tzaddik Rabbi Levi Yitzchok. I was wavering but now that I hear such a clear call, I know what to do.

  2. Quite interesting, since his brother in law, the son in law of the Bostoner Rebbe who resides in Har Nof, advised his followers to vote any Charedi party; UTJ, SHAS or YACHAD.

  3. Yachad is a charedi party? In my book,a charedi party is one that operates according to da’as torah. Yachad is like meretz; run by Jews, but with no gedolim.

  4. #6: Deri announced he would start his own party against Shas of he didn’t get the Shas leadership. So Deri is against Daas Torah?
