Kiddush Shem Shomayim Accompanying the Prisoners of Emanuel to Jail
Many, many thousands of concerned Jews turned out to accompany the 68 brave parents from Emanuel — about 20 of whom are Sephardic — to begin their two-week High Court ordered stay in jail. Preliminary estimates for the gathering in Jerusalem ranged from 50,000 to more than 100,000. There were also major gatherings in Bnei Brak, Beit Shemesh, Kiryat Sefer and other chareidi communities.
High Court Sends Parents to Jail for Heeding Their Rabbonim
Tuesday was a black day for chareidi Jewry in its battle for its principles in Eretz Hakodesh in the face of a wave of venomous incitement and a crusade led by the judicial system as part of efforts to crush the flourishing of the Torah world. This time the High Court went to unprecedented and irrational extremes by compelling the parents of girls at the Beis Yaakov school in Emanuel to educate their daughters in a manner that runs counter to their tradition and to the instructions of their rabbonim.
Shocking testimony is constantly streaming in regarding ghastly excavation work at the ancient cemetery in Jaffa, where bulldozers are working feverishly and with total disregard for the honor of the dead or the chareidi protesters regularly at the site.
Ten years after a petition was brought before the High Court against a paragraph in the Guaranteed Income law applying to kollel students and after the petitioner had already passed away, the High Court suddenly handed down a precedent-setting decision to delete the paragraph, claiming there must be "equality between avreichim and college students."
