Talmid yeshiva Yechiel King, who attends Yeshivas Chizkiyahu Rechasim, was a guest of honor at a melave malka on motzei Shabbos Shemos 5774 after being released from IDF Prison 6. He was released on erev Shabbos after serving his two-week sentence for not reporting to an induction center in adherence to instructions from HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Auerbach Shlita.
The talmid visited the home of Rav Auerbach on motzei Shabbos and had a l’chaim with him, and the young man was then escorted to the melave malka.
He was then taken to the home of Eida Chareidis Gavaad HaGaon HaRav Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss Shlita where he received words of chizuk.

R Auerbach not just caused the problem but more so, he is the problem so much that R Shtieneman and R Kanyefski came out totally against him.
How about Haredim serving on bus patrol?
Why are we applauding a person who flagrantly violated the psak halacha of the Gedolei Hador to report to the IDF induction center?
Is receiving detention in a co-ed army prison less spiritually damaging than enlisting in a male-only Nachal Chareidi unit?
Where is the sechel?
Laserc be careful of who you speak and how you speak. As Rav Shlomo Zalman zt”l said of his son Rav Shmuel “He is greater than me in all areas of Torah”.
To LAZERC : Why don’t you take over the Hanhagaas Hador and prevent our Manhigei Hador from causing Klal Yisroel any more problems and join up with Yair Lapid in an attempt to elimenate them totally , being that they are the problem .
This is an example of civil disobedience. It is for preferable than resorting to violence, yet brings home the message to the zionists that their actions are unacceptable and that the Yidden oppose them.
The problem is that the zionists may think of this as a joke, and resort to more serious measures (mass arrests, locking up people for the long term which amount to de facto concentration camps, etc.).
It is important to remember that the Bnei Torah who are refusing to abandon Torah and mitsvos are the ones defending the Yishuv of Eretz Yisrael.
to those who criticize me, remember there is a strong decree from R Shteinmen and R Kafnefski regarding these matters. R. Auerbach may be a big RY, but he is causing many problems in EY,
look and see…
Akup,
your comparison to a concentration camp is ignorant and hurtful.
If you had any relatives that died in concentration camps you would have more seichal.
Avi Gordon, this talmid did not violate the psak halacha of Gedolei Hador as there are many Gedolei Hador and some of them clearly said not to report to the IDF induction center.
Some non-religious men who attended Nachal Chareidi yeshiva claim that Nachal Chareidi turned them off completely and is more dangerous than army prison.
1818: The rounding up of a large percentage of a civilian population to control them results in a “concentration camp.” The Germans were hardly the only ones to use them (the British and Americans have done so as well) though most countries don’t bother to combine them with genocide (easier to shoot people on the spot rather than schlepp them to a camp – the Germans only did that when the local goyim might have objected to genocide – as far as I can tell, none of my relatives who died in the holocaust even survived to reach a camp). Anything less than that may prove to have no impact on the hareidi community (certainly two week jail sentences followed by a party and returning to yeshiva will have no impact). The zionists, for the reasons you stated, will be unwilling to use serious force against the hareidim (unless they are dumber that I think).
cobycom (2) That would be a good idea if the government would allow Chareidim to have their own buses where men and women have separate seating and a separate entrance, then a Chareidi man would be able to watch the front entrance and a woman the back entrance. You can’t expect a Chareidi man who constantly guards his eyes to watch these immodest women coming up the bus, could you?
