Reply To: �Shabbos, Shabbos” (Rally in Yerushalayim)

Jothar, Rabbi Lipschutz’s masterpiece above is entirely correct. And you cannot seperate the man from the mission. Reb Amram was nk. For you to say the Chazon Ish and the Brisker Rov supported Reb Amram but not his activities, is grasping on straws. The Chazon Ish called Reb Amram “Shabbos” when referring to him, due to his rallies supporting Shabbos that they threw him in prison for. Both the Chazon Ish and the Brisker Rov were very close to Rav Amram. See the full article by Rav Yishai Sofer. Rav Chaim Kanievsky went with the Chazon Ish to visit Reb Amram.

PY, What do you mean by saying “a single supposed incident of Yaldei Teheran”?? Do you deny it happened? It is documented fact. Secondly, it was a “single incident.” They kidnapped scores and scores of little children from the Yemenis immigrants to convert them away from Torah Judaism. Then you bemoan the fact we still reference this historical event “which happened 50-60 years ago”? I take it then you hold that it is time to forgive and forget the German’s for the events that occurred 60-70 years ago, even older than the Teimini kidnappings?? anon for this said “It makes no sense because the current political administration is completely different”. The same could be said regarding the current German government. Is it time for us to start buying Mercedes, and no longer blaming modern Germans??

And lest we forget, these rallies are not only supported by, but also attended by various Gedolim. From all sectors. YWN reported that Rav Ovadia Yosef, Rav Eliashev, and others supported it. So who are we to argue with them?
