Rebbe of Vizhnitz: even Satmar allow voting in such situations

Repeated elections in Beit Shemesh which will be held on Tuesday, will test the entire Haredi public, many are hoping that this time, following the Supreme Court's intervention and the critical significance, the Eida Haredis public will join the general haredi sector in town, and vote for the candidates and the Haredi parties.

The one who brought reference to it this Shabbos is the Vizhnitz Rebbe, who after saying the 'Torah' at shalosh seudos added: "The Satmar Rebbe zy"a who held battles against Zionism and the State of Israel and prohibited to participate in elections, but with all this when it was feared that at local authority elections the fearing G-d public can lose, he allowed to participate in local elections."

"In Beit Shemesh the campaign is about the future of Haredi Jews' residence and multiplying in the city, but there were always those who were smarter than him," said the Rebbe, and continued: "I beg anyone with potential to help the success of the elections, especially kollel avreichim to help and assist if and where needed, to operate and activate for the election of Rabbi Moshe Aboutbul as mayor and the list of Agudath Israel – Gimmel for the Council."

Meanwhile, among the Eida Haredis community in Beit Shemesh, they are hanging posters announcing that there it is forbidden to participate in the elections and the prohibition is in effect without changes, the content of ads urges the public to abstain as in the past, and not give in to false messages in the Haredi press.

Nevertheless, according to city officials who spoke to Behadrey Haredim, it seems that most of the members of the congregation understand the duty of the campaign and they will vote.
