Some 40 odd years ago on the long summer evenings, some italian youths used to drive by the Yeshiva and throw rocks at the windows.
A couple of the bochurim desired to make a ‘vigilante’ group to be prepared to confront and stop them.
R’ Shmuel Berenbaum told them emphatically: “no”
Why?

I agree. Leave it alone. It’s a good reminder to the yeshivalight that were still in galus.
What will it take for you all to embrace the Holy land that G-d has given us? The signs will get stronger and stronger
