Q. Rabbenu Shlit’a. One more question. What about the also recent very Frum people demonstrations of sometimes violent protest against the non religious leaders and people. Are they accepted?
A. We also heard that the Rosh Yeshiva HaRav Salim Shlit”a also addressed the strong and sometimes violent protests and demonstrations taking place recently over the draft issue, ruling out the participation of Bnei Yeshivos.
He mentioned that; “The demonstrations and protests, and what’s happening in the streets, don’t help; they’re harmful! And it completely pulls you away from learning.”
“It’s harmful for a person to become accustomed to violence; it harms his character. Everyone should do everything possible to heed the directives of the Rabbanim.”
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion about the recent demonstrations in Israel by Lomdei Torah and Yeshiva students, against the government should be consulted with the true leading Gedoley Israel and reliable accepted Poskim.
