'Eida' attacks Sicrikim

Initial release: for the first time the Eida Haredis attacks the Sicrikim faction, a week after members of the radical faction tried to sabotage the rally of the 'Eida'.

This morning (Thursday) on the front page of the Eida's journal, a formal notice of the Eida Haredis management appears, condemning the Sicrikim.

A week ago, on Rosh Chodesh Shevat, a prayer rally was held at the Zupnik buildings' plaza in Jerusalem, and members of the Sicrikim tried to sabotage it due to the participation the Rab"d Hagaon Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch. They poured residues of rotting fish and caused a strong stench in the area of the rally.

Under the heading 'a bitter cry', it said: "Woe to the generation that this has happened in its days, that some reckless people, a small handful of arrogant bold faced daredevils from the edge of the camp, to destroy the vineyard of our Badatz Eida Haredis rooted in sanctity and headed by our rabbis members of the Badatz"

The notice here mentions the attempt to sabotage the rally: "And they added misdemeanor in their behavior, and with criminal viciousness to sabotage the great prayer rally without a drop of consideration and compassion for the G-d fearing public who came to protest the decree of enlistment."

"This is not the time to keep quiet, for they will say that the Prushim have allowed this thing, and it is our pain and the pain of all who fears His honor and to protest according to da'as Torah for an abomination was made in Israel."

"Your eyes can see that for some years that sinful people have risen to separate between the adhesives and a double-edged sword is in their hands to cause dissension in Israel by spreading lies and falsehoods about our honorable rabbis and in particular about Sar haTorah the Rab"d Shlita and humiliate the Torah Sages guardians of the walls of Jerusalem's purity, and the community leaders presidents of Torah institutions and to criticize the mehadrin kashrus and shechita system and the separation of the community from any corner of the Diaspora."

They finished the letter: "We call on all members of the Eida: part from the tents of these wicked men lest you be punished with all their sins. Do all that is in your power to quell the fire flames from our camp, and let the yetzer of machlokes not persuade you to stay complacent and to see the kodesh being disgraced, G-d forbid."

A factor in Eida Haredis told Behadrey Haredim: "There is no doubt that the letter is rare and changing direction, the 'Eida' completely renounces the terror of those Sicrikim, what is new here is particularly the strong condemnation of the attack against the Rab"d Hagaon Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, towards whom the activities of the Sicrikim is directed in the Golovenzitz complex affair."
