An intense controversy has erupted within the Haredi public following a violent incident in Beit Shemesh, where a group of extremists hurled stones at the vehicle of the Rebbe of Karlin-Stolin. The serious and unusual event occurred Sunday evening as the Rebbe was leaving a wedding celebration in the city. According to witnesses, members of the group gathered near the location, threw stones and objects at the Rebbe's car, and shouted insults at him. The Rebbe's escorts managed to get him into his vehicle and safely away from the scene without injury. This incident follows a series of previous harassments by extremist elements against the Rebbe, including in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem. Despite these recurring events, the Rebbe consistently instructs his followers not to retaliate against such attacks. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across Haredi Jewish circles, with a complete disavowal of the rioters' actions. MK Meir Porush spoke with the Commander of the Jerusalem District of the Police, Superintendent Avshalom (Abshi) Peled, demanding decisive action and immediate arrests of those involved. MK Avi Maoz, chairman of the Noam L'Yisrael party, strongly condemned the event, quoting the Sages that Jerusalem was destroyed because students of the wise were disrespected, and urged the police to prosecute the attackers with determination.
