The Gur Hasidic community approached several leading rabbis, including the Vizhnitz Rebbe, to join the protest outside Prison 10, according to a report by Nati Kalish. The Rebbe was offered to come only with a vehicle but is currently staying at Moshav Ora and appears to be declining.
The Vizhnitz Rebbe is reportedly declining an invitation from the Gur Hasidic community to join the ongoing protest outside Prison 10, according to a report by journalist Nati Kalish. The Gur community approached several leading rabbis today, offering the Vizhnitz Rebbe a scaled-down participation — arriving only with a vehicle — but the Rebbe, who is resting at Moshav Ora, appears to be staying out of the protest.
The Gur Hasidic community has been staging protests outside Prison 10 for weeks against the arrest of a yeshiva student for evading military service, as The Zioneer has reported. On Sunday, the Gur Rebbe met with an activist and a decision on another protest remained pending. The Sanz Rebbe previously cut short a vacation to appear at the rally. The Vizhnitz Rebbe's reported refusal adds a new dimension to the community's efforts to rally rabbinical support.
