The heads of Lev L'Achim's anti-missionary department are
reissuing warnings not to participating in vacation packages
held at the Kibbutz Nes Amim Guesthouse in the Galil.
Lev L'Achim has issued several warnings in the past about
vacation packages held at the kibbutz, whose members organize
events designed to preach conversion from Judaism,
Rachmono litzlan. The public is cautioned to avoid the
kibbutz both due to the spiritual perils and the prohibition
against supporting transgressors.
Last summer a Shabbos weekend billed "Nofesh Pi'ut
Vehischazkus" scheduled to take place at the Nes Amim
guesthouse with a long list of "leading chazzanim" taking
part was cancelled at the last moment when HaRav Nissim
Karelitz publicized a notice banning the event.
Lev L'Achim organizers thought that the kibbutz members had
learned their lesson, but recently ads appeared hailing a
"Hilulas Lag B'Omer" with "gedolei hachazzanim
hapaitanim vehazamorim mikol ha'olom" at a guesthouse
that was not named but was said to be "belev haGalil"
— in the heart of the Galil. A brief inquiry revealed
the guesthouse "in the heart of the Galilee" was none other
than the guesthouse at Kibbutz Nes Amim.
A similar event is being planned for Shavuos and Parshas
Nosso as well by an organization known as Moriah Tiyulim
Venesiot.
Rabbonim and public figures were deeply disturbed by the
foolish attempt to place a stumbling block before Jews who
keep Torah and mitzvas by hosting an event at a place
gedolei Yisroel have banned outright due to the
deception that takes place there.
Lev L'Achim's anti-missionary activists again warn the public
not to participate in events of this kind. They also
contacted the chazzanim and paytanim scheduled
to appear at the "Hilula" asking them not to take part
in the event.
