Letter to PM Netanyahu: Maybe We Should Halt Chasnahs Too


Rabbi Shmuel Feuerstein, who is in charge of marriage registration throughout Shomron sent a somewhat sarcastic yet true letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, highlighting the absurdity of his 10-month construction freeze. The rabbi questions if he should halt marriage registrations, explaining that this seems appropriate since there are no living accommodations to offer young couples. He states in his letter that not all the new couples getting married are from elite IDF combat units and as such, not all are willing or able to set up their new lives in tents, but they require a home, modest as it may be.

The rabbi further questioned if the government expects all newlywed couples to be ousted over the Green Line, out of Yehuda and Shomron, away from their homes, their communities and families since here are no available housing units in yishuvim.  Rabbi Feuerstein continues, asking if this is the response, thereby stopping additional couples from bringing children into the world.

He continues by equating the government’s policy with similar acts in Europe, which were deemed “anti-Semitic”, deciding where Jews may or may not live, calling the policy “racist”.

Rabbi Feuerstein concludes that any attempt to impose such restrictions on Israeli Arabs, or alternatively on blacks or Hispanics in the United States would be met with outrage, but nevertheless, the government appears willing to impose such an unacceptable decree on the Jews.

  1. Only in Israel are Jews restricted (by Jews!) as to where they can choose to live, like in the Europe of old but unlike anywhere else in the world (other than Saudi Arabia) where Jews can live virtually anywhere they choose. This is only a small part of the Zionist utopia and the benefit of obtaining a “Jewish” State.

    We need the true Geulah, may it be speedily in our days, not the Zionist pseudo-“redemption” which has proven to be anything but a redemption.

  2. 1. Don’t give him any ideas.

    2. Israel doesn’t consider the West Bank to be part of their country, and most of the Israelis (at least the ones who run the place), don’t perceive orthodox Jews as their fellow Israelis. The goal of zionism is to fight off the danger of “geulah” which by definition is the opposite of everything the zionists have dreamed of for the last 120 years.

  3. The way the seculars treat the Orthodox helps spread antisemitism.
    The antisemites love to publicise such things and say “See, even Jews say Judiasm is wrong”.
