The political storm in Shas is almost behind us. In other words, the spin and games of the former chairman (even now, the resignation is only from the Knesset, not from the position of chairman. What did you think?) and in the future, are already visible to all, and even those skeptics of "Maran is a lion and there's nothing to be done," sound a little less innocent today than yesterday.
""Aryeh is Maran" goes better than Maran with Aryeh, certainly after the hot tape.
Certainly, when the almighty chairman turns anyone who dared to think about real retirement into a donkey who doesn't know how to change his mind.

And a lion, as we know, is not a donkey. He is a king.
At the time, when 'Rabbi Aryeh', on the advice of his advisors, of course, began to free Nazareth from its language, he called on Eli Yishai in blunt words to resign. "Is it difficult for you? Go home!" he said then.
Did the Rais mean visits to northern hotels and southern capitals? Or is it to each his own?
Gimmick or not, a familiar trick or a logical desire to distract the people from the main point and engage in trivial matters? Whatever it is - one thing is simply not taken into account: When you challenge someone who does not listen to the Torah, hereinafter referred to as the 'Council of Sages', keep in mind that the people will want to understand how the 'Uraita decree' of that council and those Sages who prohibit resignation differs from the wall in the form, or if you will, a locked door in the style of 'Father is not at home, he will only return tomorrow' - from the decision of another person who did something similar on the advice of his rabbis.
Now that the Shagat Aryeh Yeshiva was forced to close its doors following a police request (yes, Aryeh also requested it by phone, that's true), perhaps it would be permissible to wonder about the foundation of the yeshiva that was re-established, and not on a person's grave but while he was still alive, and try to understand who the anonymous donor was who dedicated his fortune and power to those Torah scholars who spent their days and nights there, devoting themselves to Torah studies, and to our hearts to issues over steaming pots of cholent.
Who is that gentleman who financed posters and lighting, food and drink for every oppressor, without checking his tweets with his community and religion?.
When we learn his name, we will immediately be matched with farm managers in real yeshivahs, whose hands are short of feeding the mouths of the young men who labor in the Torah of Hashem.
Now that it is clear to everyone who 'did not' leak the tape, and it is clear to almost everyone who 'did' film Maran, is the title "In Every House He Records" still acceptable?
What did the rabbi say?
And in general, let's talk about the tape for a moment.
True, it's not 'Ishu' today, and wherever that video is discussed, the conversation immediately turns to issues like 'honoring Torah' and denigrating scholars.
But still, you know, there was a tape. Most of you were probably also exposed to the full film, not the eight-minute one, but the thirteen and a half.
So like this: Maran ztzukal did not say that Deri is evil, absolutely not. Maran only said, "Until now I have suffered... Mother cried tears of a third... Isn't that evil?" Notice, there is a question mark at the end of the sentence, this is definitely a point for thought.
And besides, 'independent' is a compliment. Do you know how difficult it is to be independent in the face of Torah opinion? Even the phrase that Maran repeats over and over again, "He will not listen to me," does not necessarily indicate a denial, perhaps a minor medical problem, nothing more.
Deri, by the way, has answers to all the questions.
In an interview he gave to Ilana Dayan, he explains that he looks at things exactly like a father who is angry with his son. In other words, if you had just waited a little while until Maran stopped being angry, everything would have looked different. So Maran was angry, right?
So that's right, the media, for some reason, is all mobilized and taking a unified position in uncompromising support for the movement's president. No one is addressing the delusional request in his resignation letter in which he asks (with pleas and tears, of course) to appoint a certain rabbi to the Council of Elders.
No one sees a conflict of interest for years in the fact that someone who is supposed to be a public messenger subject to Torah knowledge appoints his own handlers. And there is no child in the entire neighborhood who will reveal to everyone exactly what the king is wearing.
But a few words that they should say: "Dad, what did they do to you?" is a winning slogan, no doubt.
But you should know - they didn't do anything to Dad. Maran remains the pride of the generation and his honor was not harmed at all. You can keep the slogan, that's fine.
Just please, the chairman's picture is more appropriate there.
