Yet another tefillah at Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv was attacked by leftist “protesters” on Thursday morning, Chol Hamoed Sukkos.
One of the participants in the tefillah was Rabbi Leo Dee, whose wife and two daughters were murdered in a terror attack in the Jordan Valley on Chol Hamoed Pesach. One of the leftists purposely pushed Rabbi Lee as he was holding a lulav and esrog and davening.
A video of the incident that circulated on social media caused widespread outrage and condemnation, at least by right-wing figures.
The mispallelim had erected a makeshift mechitzah for the tefillah but when the leftists saw it, they called the police and Tel Aviv municipal employees subsequently removed it.

So you have a left-wing Zionist apikores pushing a right-wing Zionist apikores. What’s the big deal?
These are left wing Nazis.
@Yossi…@ you may not fully agree with his שיטות but some ahavas Yisroel on Hoshana Rabboh is still in place.
He was attacked, while performing a mitzvah – and this is חילול שם שמים, which for frum people [not meshugene kanoim] IS A BIG DEAL; YES!
Thisbis the left who is opposed to judicial reform. This is the Israeli WOKE.

DavidtheKanoi – funny isn’t it how you and the “dati” leumi cry ahavas yisroel only when one of your own are attacked, but not for the incessant persecution of haredi bnei Torah in Eretz Yisroel??
And his “mitzvah” is no more of a mitzvah than the tehillim recited during “tehillim rallies” sponsored by corrupt Agudah politicians. Once you abuse a mitzvah to further your own political goals, you desecrate the Torah ר”ל and are committing an aveira instead of a mitzvah.
I don’t stand with DEE……it is a shame this occurred but Hashem rules and it was his pick…..
