Following the Vizhnitzer Rebbe's words last night (Sunday) prior to the end of the Shavuos holiday, on the devastation caused by addiction to the whatsaap groups, there has been a great awakening among the Hasidic community and outside of it, as many are disconnecting from the various Nayes groups.
Rebbe's words sparked a huge echo amongst Hasidism, not more than a few minutes passed and there were waves of departures from the various Nayes groups.
One Viznitz proponent, who heard the cry of the Rebbe last night, wrote today a number of things on "The heart cried yesterday. It was before the chag was over. The Rebbe spoke before thousands of Hasidim. Silence in the Hall. Everyone listens to his words. Then before the end, pain broke out and the cry echoed throughout the hall. These were not words, these were not sentences. It was blood. Blood which bubbled. Stabs of a sword that hurt his wounded and bleeding heart.
It was not his voice, it was the voice of agunot, living widows, pure voices of the children who are live orphands, gaping wound at the heart of the ultra-Orthodox public. Terrible fires that have consumed families, spiritual-fires which have consumed loyal and innocent homes".
"No, not so far from us. Neighbors, brothers, relatives. It happens around the corner. Who is to say my heart is clean. The unrestrained fire is raging, smirking and lapping more. More and more are falling robbed, helpless, carcasses of life, leaving behind a disaster, painful, unhappy families left alone, and forever. And these fires there are those who continue to choose to play, play make-believe. 'It will not happen to me, when it happened, and recently, and here.
Very thin, weak rope, invisible border and perhaps even non-existent, passes through a nice and innocent groups, exchange of ideas, images and files, and disastrous addiction, and dangerous and destructive drifting across the border, beyond the red line, the results that we all are so familiar with, so painful. And if you think you know to protect yourself, what about the friend swept together with you, seeing that you enjoy yourself, and he decided to follow you, too, his own blood is on your hands too!
"Friends, brothers, do not play in this fire. It is not wise to do evil, devious, malicious and elusive, than any of us. More than what we could never have assumed. "Tragedies", the Rebbe cried yesterday, and his heart unfold like a sheet board to all those families torn and destroyed, all those and unfortunate people orphaned, just because the father played with fire.
"And we all know these tragedies, they lie in wait for us around the whatsapp corner and telegrams and things like that, although the Rebbe had trouble pronouncing their names, but we are familiar with. Unfortunately. So we Viznitz Hasidim, we disconnected Thank God! We left the slavery and returned to sanity. We went back to ourselves and our families. Brothers let's overcome together. For us and our descendants."
