Shock: Haredi demands' imprisonment and Chaim Aharon Leib"

Shock in the haredi community: a resident of Bnei Brak named Yisrael Apple filed a criminal complaint against the Mayor Avraham Rubinstein, to which he attached the Gedolei Yisrael Hgray"l Steinman and Hgr"ch Kanievsky, noting that, at the end of the complaint: "the complainant hereby announces that it is possible that the court will require of them to impose the prison sentence, if convicted in this case."

Since this is a criminal case, probably the Gedolei Yisrael will be required to appear before the court.

Prosecutor opens the complaint covering the sequence of events with the election of Yaakov Asher for the Knesset and replacing him with Avraham Rubinstein, and he writes: "In the month of Shevat תשע"ג – when the aforementioned Rabbi Yaakov Asher was elected as a member of the Knesset - and so he was forced to resign as mayor of the city ... and despite the fact that according to Article 24 of the Law above local authorities - as follows, if the head of the term of office expired - then the Council shall elect from among its members - the deputy, then with it then Rabbi Avraham Rubinstein - connected to Rabbi Kanievsky and Rabbi Steinman (2-3) , and together they published a letter: according to Daas Torah - that Avraham Rubinstein - will be crowned mayor, and needless to say this ruling – Daas Torah ... Is used as a threat against public officials, which prevents them from discussing the matter – in a free and democratic way.

Apple goes on to describe: "Indeed, this is exactly what happened – on the 14th of Shevat תשע"ג, then members of the Council of the City of Bnei Brak met - and decided unanimously - the candidacy of Rabbi Avraham Rubinstein for office of Mayor, and that is even though Rabbi Hanoch Zeibert – is serving as Acting Mayor. "

Apple finishes the complaint as follows: "The above - is a terror - against elected officials ... This is a threat against public officials - is a plague that harms the foundations of democracy ... Legislative provisions that the accused: the actions described in section III above, which they performed - threats."
