The city of Beit Shemesh with its new Dati Leumi lady mayor razed the Charedi shul Mayanot Bnei Yasasschar in the Charedi neighborhood of Kneih Bosem. It's located next to 62 Ben Ish Chai St. You'll note that the shul was on flat ground and not perched dangerously on a hill as one ignorant defender of the city on a website alleged and was not in the way of any other construction as it was situated between two other shuls. It's a small space that can hardly be used for anything else. The street across from it is pretty wide and there's some apartment construction on it. In general, the area is not particularly built up or crowded. One has to think there was some other solution other than destroying a shul. But the Israelis get their practice destroying Arab homes and think nothing of destroying Charedi shuls too. This is Zionism. The city has plans to destroy more shuls.
The shul before destruction:
Note what appear to be wrinkles in the walls are wrinkles in the poster I photographed. In the original photograph, the shul looks quite new. This photo is of a poster telling about the situation and it was pasted on a kiosk on top of other posters, so it looks lumpy.
The evil ones secure a place in gehennom.
So you're not even going to make a pretense of finding out what the mayor would answer to the charges you made?
ReplyDeleteI know the reason. They built without a permit. And for this you don't destroy a shul. Settlers build without permits all the time and rarely does anything get pulled down. This shul wasn't bothering anybody. It's not in anybody's way. It's in this unused part of town. It was tiny. You don't destroy shuls. There is kiddushah there. You have to find solutions, not just destroy. If you are a religious person - which this mayor really isn't - you say, they shouldn't have built it like that, but I am not going to raze a shul to the floor.
DeleteYeah, let there be hefkeirus, why should there be a municipal government at all anyway.......
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for you that you talk in extremes for effect. It must be hard going through life like that. There is so much hefkeris in Israel, so much in Beit Shemesh, there was no need to suddenly take action here. You don't destroy shuls. If you have trouble understanding that, i suggest a course in elementary Judaism. learn the basics. You can still do teshuvah, that's a Hebrew word for repentance, before it is too late.
