The Admor of Karlin-Stolin was attacked with stones thrown at his vehicle on Sunday evening as he was leaving a wedding celebration in the city of Beit Shemesh. This incident, described as severe and unprecedented, has caused shock and dismay within the Charedi community.

The Rebbe has been targeted multiple times in the past, particularly in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem, when attending family simchas or leaving his synagogue. Despite these repeated provocations, the Rebbe consistently instructs his followers not to retaliate or respond to the perpetrators' actions.

The latest attack has ignited strong reactions within the Charedi public, with many condemning the behavior of fringe elements described as "zealots." These actions are seen as unacceptable and damaging to the reputation of one of the leading figures in the Charedi world today. There are calls for a strong and unequivocal response from those who represent the great leaders of Israel.
