Storm in Tifrach: the boys were injured in an accident - and thrown from the yeshiva

Last Friday night five yeshiva students traveling on the 767road leading from Alumot to Yavniel in the Galilee were injured. The boys, who were on their way to spend Shabbos in Yavniel – sustained various degrees of injury, after they overturned into a canal. One of them was seriously injured and evacuated by helicopter from the scene of the accident. His friends were evacuated in moderately condition to hospitals nearby. It later emerged that the boys were active at the headquarters Breslev for Shas.

But this is just the beginning of the story.

Information obtained to B'Chadrei Charedim indicates that the yeshiva students are students at the Toshia yeshiva in Tifrach. Investigation of the accident by the police found that the driver had no driver's license, and he received earlier the vehicle from an avrech who lives in the settlement and rents out vehicles illegally. In exchange for depositing a check he gave the boy the car keys - without checking whether he has a license. Police arrested the avrech for questioning and released him, whilst recommending the prosecution to indict him.


The yeshiva board heard about the case and decided unanimously: None of the boys have a place at the yeshiva.

One of the yeshiva students explained to B'Chadrei Charedim that the yeshiva is furious that the boys were in the Sephardic party, but especially the fact that they risked their lives and drove a car without a license. "Even if they had a license," he adds. "The yeshiva would have banned them from its ranks."

Ariel: Punishment from heaven for what they did to me
Meanwhile, the winds inside 'Tifrach' are stormy, since there are those who claim that there is a reason for the serious accident.

Yitzchak Ariel, a controversial Lithuanian figure at the settlement, who in the past struggled with the yeshiva who was against him, is suggesting that some of these boys were in the war against him. He raises another point that the car which the boys drove is the same car he rented from the avrech immediately after his car was sprayed with graffiti - allegedly by yeshiva students.

According to Ariel, the Gregorian date of the accident is the date when his car was sprayed two years ago. "There's a guiding hand," he says to B'Chadrei Charedim. "In the past I dreamed there is a major pedantry on the actions against me and any further word is unnecessary."


Police have confirmed the details of the event to B'Chadrei Charedim and asked to note that "a vehicle driver, who gives his vehicle to another person, has the full responsibility to make sure that has a driver's license, and more importantly the type of license appropriate to the vehicle. The owner is responsible, and if the driver will be punished, the owner will also be punished," said Zivan Freidin, a spokesman for the traffic police.
