The kever of Maran Hagaon HaRav Aharon Leib Steinman zt”l was desecrated overnight by vandals who defaced it with black spray-paint.
The sickening act against one of the late Gadol Hador came just ahead of his fourth yahrtzeit (on Motzei Shabbos), and was reportedly perpetrated by certain extremists who have attacked Rav Aharon Leib in the past.
The act of vandalism was condemned by many, including Religious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana, who called it a “heinous act,” as well as former PM Netanyahu, who called the vandalism “despicable.”
“I was shocked to the depths of my soul by the criminal and inconceivable desecration” of the matzeiva,” Shas leader Aryeh Deri said. “I call on the law enforcement authorities to capture the perpetrators quickly and punish them with the full severity of the law.”

If the Zionists wouldn’t have made the disaster they did, and the gezeiros they haven’t stopped making, then none of this would have happened.
Maybe it’s time to rethink the “Brisker Derech”.

Total SHOCK!!!
Sick!!!
You need apikorsum like Netanyahu and Kahana to make this story?
as well as former PM Netanyahu But not the current prime-minister who simply couldn’t care 1 iota
“[the vandalism] was reportedly perpetrated by certain extremists who have attacked Rav Aharon Leib in the past”
Religious extremists or secular extremists???
The world is going nuts! They did this to the holy Kaliver Rebbie too! Who can possibly have an axe to grind with these departed Tzaddikim?
Thank you YWN for the instructions and how to respond to this episode. I’m not sure I would have known to be sickened without you letting us know.
The act of vandalism was condemned by many, including Religious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana, who called it a “heinous act,” – While I fully agree with this statement as I am a big fan of Hagoan Rav Steinman zt”l, Kahana’s attacks on living Gedolim and Judaism in General are far worse!
I bet it was a zionist.
Special place in hell for the very cowardly fake jews who perpetrated this
This terrible act of Bizayon Hatorah is only a Me’Ein of the horrific Bizayon perpetrated recently by those smearing the entire Olam Hayeshivos and the Roshei Yeshivos , (including Rav Shteinman zatzal) who led and lead them
I suspect maybe some one from the Yeted newspaper who got fired in the changing and then had to set up Peleg….
Maybe?
