Bnei Brak Rabbonim: Don’t rent to Arabs


Bnei Brak Rabbonim published a Kol Koreh this week stating that it is forbidden to sell apartments to Arabs.

The rabbis signing the document include Hagoen R’ Aharon Leib Steinman, Hagoen R’ Shmuel Wosner, Hagoen R’ Michael Yehuda Lefkovich, Hagoen R’ Moshe Yehuda Landau and others.

The Kol Koreh stated “we wish to announce that this is entirely forbidden.”

The document went on to say that anyone who has additional information regarding the phenomenon is asked to report it to the branch focused on rescue from assimilation of the Yad La Achim organization.

The rabbis’ document was reported by neighborhood committee chairman Roni Tzaig. “The committee prepared a petition signed by rabbis in Bnei Brak, along with residents, calling to get the Arabs and non-Jews out of Bnei Brak.”

According to Tzaig, “no one wants them here. They damage things. This includes physical violence, verbal violence, arson pursuant to internal altercations, control over our children, looting and theft.”

“Usually such an announcement doesn’t manage to fire up residents who hitherto were uninvolved in the struggle and didn’t care about it,” he said, explaining the importance of the rabbis’ document.

“This announcement, I believe, will cause people who see their neighbors renting to or employing certain elements, to report it to the police or other relevant sources,” he added.
