The chareidi media is reporting that the chief suspect in the Holyland case, Meir Rabin, has consulted with his brothers, asking them to “make the rounds”, to consult with rabbonim – seeking direction as how to act during his interrogation. According to reports, to date, the former Chevron Yeshiva bachur has not cooperated with police, but he wishes to seek out the direction of rabbonim as how to act as the case proceeds.
Haaretz is quoted as reporting that Rabin’s brothers visited Maran HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita, who told them he is not familiar with Holyland, the case or details, and as such, he is not giving advice. He wished Meir well. The reports indicate the same response was received from other rabbonim as well.
Rabin stands accused of negotiating, mediating and facilitating the Holyland project, and as such, he is allegedly at the eye of the storm of allegations of wrongdoing and illegal activities.

“chief suspect”
He flaters himself. The hiloni papers think he, and the other frum people accused, were bit players.

that it was Meir Rabin’s attorney, Mr. Zilberstein who implicated Hagaon Ovadia Yosef shlit”a into this terrible affair. If I were one of the gedolim, I would stay extremely far away from this case. This fellow’s chevra has already flung dirt onto one gadol.
There’s only one solution the one and only way to be upfront open and honest. the Torah way. Midvar sheker tirchak!
#3- so far the “evidence” against the frum community is that businesses gave money to Tsadakah in order to improve the business’s public image – which is not only done everywhere, but is a good thing since business’s should feel a need to do good. The only thing disgraceful is the Israeli government (but since I don’t approve of them to begin with, I’m neither shocked nor surprised).
