Top Rabbis Condemn Attacks on Rabbi Feivelson by Youth
Two prominent rabbis, Chaim Peretz Berman and David Miller, heads of the Ponevezh Yeshiva, have issued strong condemnations against recent attacks targeting Rabbi A.M. Feivelson. The attacks were reportedly carried out by young individuals described as being from the "fringes of the camp."
In letters of support sent to Rabbi Feivelson, Rabbis Berman and Miller expressed solidarity with him in the face of these assaults. They characterized the support for Rabbi Feivelson as unwavering, comparing it to the sun rising in its full glory.
The Ponevezh Yeshiva is a major center of Lithuanian-Haredi yeshiva education located in Bnei Brak, Israel. The nature of the attacks and the specific identities of the youth involved were not detailed in the report, but the rabbis' strong stance indicates a significant internal dispute or concern within the Haredi community.
