Huge numbers of English residents participated this past Monday in a major chizuk rally headed by gedolei Torah and rabbonim in anticipation of the Yomim Noraim as a show of force in the ongoing battle against the ills of Internet which is striking at Jewish souls and wreaking spiritual havoc in our camp. The massive rally taking place in England was the springboard for a chain of such gatherings scheduled to take place in Jewish centers throughout Europe to fight, tooth and nail, against the use of Internet which is claiming so many Jewish souls, a war declared by gedolei Yisroel.
The event took place in the huge EventCity auditorium in Manchester and was attended by hundreds of people from Whitefield, Bowden, Altrincham, and many other Jewish neighborhoods in southern Manchester who avidly imbibed the words of the rabbonim of the city, the Mora d'Asra, HaRav Schneibalg, and HaRav Kraus, the Raavad of Manchester.
Additional speakers emphasized the obligation to remove oneself totally from the ills of Internet, to refrain from using, viewing or doing anything connected with it, as directed by our Torah leadership. Among these speakers were visitors from the U.S.: HaRav Shmuel Dishon, Rosh Yeshivas Karlin-Stolin in Boro Park and HaRav Avrohom Sherer, Av Beis Din of Tiferes Yaakov in Flatbush.
Additional such assemblies are planned, headed as well by prominent rabbonim and gedolei Torah to strengthen our community and ward off the terrible dangers both from the outside world and from within.
