Bnei Brak Leaders Shocked by Opposition to Street Name Change
Ten years ago the Bnei Brak city council decided, soon after his passing, to name
part of one of its main streets after Maran HaRav Shach zt"l. The street had been named
after Zionist hero Herzl. It would seem to be an innocuous action by a local council to
honor one of its most prominent citizens. A perfect expression of local sentiment on a
matter that is relevant almost entirely to the local community and no one else.
Instead, the action by the Bnei Brak city council attracted a firestorm of criticism.
In the end the reasonableness of the Bnei Brak action won out, but it is instructive
to see to what ends the media will go for chareidi bashing.
by A. Cohen and Y. Ariel
The Bnei Brak Municipality has conveyed its shock at the current
despicable incitement campaign conducted by anti- religious elements
against changing the name of part of what has been Herzl Street to
commemorate Maran HaRav Elozor Menachem Man Shach, ztvk"l.
