The Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Degel HaTorah signed a letter fiercely attacking the Yamina party for its plan to establish a unity government with Yair Lapid which will include left-wing parties.
“We are greatly saddened to hear of the intention to form a new government, of which a central and significant part will consist of those who, chalilah, seek to harm the foundation of religion, to carry out severe breaches in Yiddishkeit, and destroy the heritage of generations on which Beis Yisrael rests,” the letter states.
“This intention can severely affect the issues of Shemiras Shabbos, the preservation of the uniqueness of Am Yisrael, harm to the pure chinuch transmitted to us from generation to generation, and other similar issues.”
“The astonishment is greatly magnified and the pain of Chilul Hashem is deepened by the fact that those who stand as the central foundation of the establishment of this government are the members of Yamina, who present themselves as believing Jews, Shomrei Torah V’Mitzvos.”
“It’s unbelievable that such a thing will be told, and if, chalilah, does come to fruition – it is an act of defiance toward Shamayim and a bitter and serious sin.”
“Hakadosh Baruch Hu doesn’t account for a negative thought if the deed is not actually committed. Therefore we are calling on all Jews who believe in Hashem, to all who categorize themselves as upholders of tradition and certainly, those who are Shomer Torah V’Mitzvos, to retract their intentions and not have any part of this deed which is considered as an uprooting of religion and a breach of the yesodos of halacha. And we will all daven for our errant brothers that Hakadosh Baruch Hu will arouse them and they will do teshuvah and not be led astray.”
“And Hashem, HaTov, Who chose His people Yisrael with love, will dispatch an abundance of goodness from Above to all those who walk in His Ways, will spread His sukkah of peace on us and on all of Yisrael, and we will receive only goodness and chesed for always.”
The Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah of Shas published a similar letter, warning that an “unparalleled spiritual danger is lurking over Klal Yisrael, with those who hate religion gaining power, and all the issues important to us – Shabbos, giyur, taharas Am Yisrael, Olam HaTorah and the Jewish character of Eretz Yisrael – are in serious and immediate danger.”
“Anyone who has a part in the establishment of such a government is declaring that he has no part or nachala with Elokei Yisrael and any party which joins this government is included in this klal,” the Rabbanim stated.

Israel will now have a shomer Shabbos PM how is that against shmiras Shabbos? Plus the Moetzes told the chareidim to go with RAAM the Islamist anti Israel power and abandon our Shomer Shabbos of Betzalel Smotrich who have their own shitta now when YOU are on the losing end you say this. You cant have it both ways, BIBI should have allowed Katz to make a chance to become PM that way Saar and Bennett would join a Likud and chareidi government its BIBIs selfishness that screwed things up.
I’m sure this letter will convince yemina…
Lapis offered the chareidim to join instead of Lieberman. Why don’t they take him up on it?
The same old thing again and again. When do they ever say anything positive. It’s always what they are against.
“This intention can severely affect the issues of Shemiras Shabbos, the preservation of the uniqueness of Am Yisrael, harm to the pure chinuch transmitted to us from generation to generation, and other similar issues.”
Nareshkeit – hakol bidei shamayim. HKB”H ratzon doesn’t depend on which politicians win elections. Does any ma’amin believe that the uniqueness of Am Yisrael might not be preserved chalilah if some particular government ends up chosen?! hevel havalim!!!
no part “NO חלק IN עולם הבא ” or nachala with Elokei Yisrael and any party which joins this government is included in this ‘קללה klal,” the Rabbanim stated.
How right they are.A shame for Misrachi under Rav Burg this would never happen. Bennet is a benkel chapper
the should quit Yamina.
And you think they won’t be joining as well, once the pot they’re offered gets sweeter?
Agudah had no problem joining with Labor Party and no problem selling out the rest of klal yosroel over Gush Katif, as long as the cash kept flowing to their mosdos.

You dont have to agree with what the Rabbonim say, but to call their words Narishkeit goes a bit beyond the pale!

While it’s true that lev milachim viSarim biYad Hashem, it’s not so simple that this applies to the Zionist State.
The Chazon Ish stated that the “a band of thugs and robbers has descended [on Israel]”. Therefore, the particular people leading that thug-ocracy are a concern from the perspective of them being baalei bechira.
Regardless, while Hashem will certainly preserve Klal Yisrael as a whole, that doesn’t mean He won’t allow Zionists to exercise their bechira and CH”V damage Klal Yisrael as the Zionists have been doing for over a century.

According to all gedolim since the founding of Zionism, all forms of Zionism, including “Religious Zionism”, are idolatry. As the Brisker Rav put it, “Halalu ovdei Avoda Zara vaHalalu ovceo Avoda Zara”.
As well, Mizrachi has fought plenty against the Torah and gedolei Torah over the decades.
To all the impudent punks who think they understand Klal Yisroel’s needs better than the Gedolei Harabbonim — even if we don’t know who you are, Hashem knows. And shame on YWN for propagating such brazen drivel.
You got what you begged for. As they say, “d zelbe Kallah nur andersh geshleiyart”. All the same secular Zionists but these with a different look. So now it will be easier to comprehend for the poshit man that the Zionists are all the same. None of them are interested in Yidishkeit. NONE.
The holy Satmar Rav Zatzal was right. Its all Oyam VNorah.
That arab MK Abbas is against queer parades. He seems to be the most frum person in the bunch.
