Vizhnitz: oldest signed – younger still debating

The Vizhnitzer Rebbe signed a call to vote for Gimmel. Today , he even expressed himself on the subject in a Tisch at the Tisch Hall in Kiryat Vizhnitz Bnei Brak.

The Rebbe aroused his followers to work for the party. The Rebbe also related to activity on election day of the Bnei Yeshivos of Vizhnitz and noted that bochurim who travel to vote, must do so as a group. He also said that a bochur who will come up with a chidush on election day - will be rewarded.

"Those who are the officials at the polls and headquarters," continued the Rebbe, "must maintain Tznius and learn in the morning before Shachris before they go out to action."

In contrast, the younger brother the Rebbe Vizhnitz – who returned on Monday to Israel, has not expressed his opinion about the vote.

This Shabbos he held a Tisch on Shalosh Seudos attended by hundreds of his chassidim, in which he addressed the issue and said: "I fear the decrees on the world of Torah, until Monday evening I will decide how to act, our interest is only 'for Hashem alone 'and for the honor of my father zy"a".

With the first reference of peace in Vizhnitz - the Rebbe said: "A few minutes after the departure of the soul of my father l decided to act as I did, for the honor of my holy father and for the honor of Vizhnitz.

"Therefore," he continued, "All my desire and tendency, in the current campaign as well, is for the honor of my father l, and therefore, I'll decide by Monday evening how to act. The requirement of all is to act and obey my decision which is not driven by any personal interest, but "only for Hashem alone." And therefore I ask each and every one not to make interpretations and everyone should act according to that. "

The Rebbe mentioned the decree of recruiting girls in the country about 60 years ago, when his father was young and worked against it.

He further asked his followers to utilize the six weeks left until the day of his father's hillula to learn Mishnayos study and finish Shas for his illuy neshomo, "It will protect Klal Yisroel from harsh edicts," he concluded.


The Belzer Rebbe also spoke about the need to vote for Gimmel.

One of his acquaintances married his daughter over the weekend, and told him about the bride and groom who are about to go on election day – in the middle of Sheva Brochos - to vote at the polls.

"I told them," he said, "of course, it is a Mitzva to listen to the words of the sages."

In response the Rebbe said: "The Rambam rules that during a Milchmes Mitzvah, the chosson leaves his room and the kalla from her chupah to fight. This time is a Milchemes Mitzvah and everyone should go out and vote."
