Rav Yitzchak Dovid Grossman Shlita does not require an introduction, the chief rabbi of Migdal Ha’emek for some 4 decades, and the founder and director of the Migdal Ohr educational network.
There is growing support for his candidacy to become the next ashkenazi chief rabbi of the capital, with the tzibur well-aware of his soft-handed ways, successfully keeping peace in his city, advancing Torah and yiddishkeit with protests and controversy.
In an interview with the weekly Kehillah Newspaper affiliated with Belz Chassidus, the rav states that progress can be made through advancing the cause peacefully, without violence and protests, confident the situation in Yerushalayim is no different.

Wow! Finally a voice that promotes peace. I hope he does become the next Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi!!!!
He sounds like an amazing Rabbi.
“advancing Torah and yiddishkeit with protests and controversy”?? oops?
Rav Grossman is well known for his wonderful accomplishments and sensibilities.
Of course, the kannoyim, their sympathizers, and their rabinnical leaders who bring so much shame to us will never listen to him.
God bless this man – a walking Kiddush Hashem.
2 – its clearly a mistake – WITHOUT
He wants to became the chief rabbi. No wonder he’s speaking like this….
I know his family and something about him.
He is above “wanting to be the Chief Rabbi”.
He would only do it if it would be muchrach or is so, and upon the urging of great rabbonim.
#6 – The Rav is known to be a great Tzaddik who has done so much work to bring thousands of hiloni Israelis back to the fold. He does this through amazing Achavas Yisrael.He won the Israel Prize in recognition of this amazing work which shows that even the Hilonim recognise his gadlus.
Therefore, I think you comment was totally out of place
#6 What a terrible comment!!
