Categorical instruction in Slonim: Do not appear for first order

Stabilization issue of yeshiva students in the centers over the headlines: the opening of Elul was announced today (Monday) by the son of the Slonim Rebbe and Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Moshe Berezovsky, the students, without exception, not to appear for the first order.

Rebbe of Slonim joins the order of the Rebbe Vizhnitz and Hgr"sh Auerbach prohibiting the enlistment.

Rosh yeshiva explained that teaching is by the order of his father the Rebbe because now the students reach the recruitment office on their own, and weak character boys will not stand the temptation and should therefore not stabilize for first order. So to married yeshiva students should not stabilize to gain exemption.

Hagaon Rabbi Moshe Berezovsky continued that stabilization shall be permitted only if allowed to stand in groups and no individual interview with the stabilizer.

In fact until now there was no clear and comprehensive teaching in the Chassidus not to appear for first order. There was previously instruction not to report, later qualified by each student to consult on the matter with the supervisor of the yeshiva. So too for whoever got in trouble or need to go abroad should stabilize.
