Thousands of Bnei Brak residents took part in a protest outside the Bnei Brak home of chareidi contractor Tzvi Biolitztosky.
The protest according to reports was a response to a call from HaGaon HaRav Aron Leib Shteinman Shlita, instructing the tzibur to protest after last week’s chilul Hashem caused by Biolitztosky, who turned to the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court against a ruling of the beis din of HaGaon HaRav Nissim Karelitz Shlita after the beis din ruled against him.
Six dayanim were compelled to appear before the court as a result of Biolitztosky’s actions. The dayanim were subjected to the embarrassment for over 5 hours, all because they dared to rule against the Biolitztosky, an event that sparked the anger of the bnei Torah community.
A number of rabbonim addressed the large crowd during the motzei shabbos protest decrying the disgrace caused the dayanim by the contractor.

To Mr. Spira,
“they were subject to 5 hours of embarrassment”?
Interrogation perhaps.
( The story is bad enough on ts own weight, sounds like you added to it)
“Thousands” is probably slightly exaggerated. I’d surprised if there were more than 100.
There have been occasions when people go to Beis Din & are dissatisfied with the outcome and then proceed to secular courts, this is fine line behavior. It should be discouraged and Beis Din’s should regain the grandeur of the past.
#2 The pictures, widely available e.g on kikarshabbat, prove you wrong. There were thousands!
#4 I do not know the numbers either yet the pictures could have been from any demo, and sited as a Bnei Brak incident.
Was the protest focused upon a particular case or did it include all of the rebbes and rabbonim i.e. Satmar, Bobov & Chabad? If our these guys can go to court, why not me?
