The desire to take revenge on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who led the conscription law along with partners from Yesh Atid and the Jewish Home, undoubtedly succeeds in producing entertaining events.
One such event was recorded this morning, on the edge of Rashbam Street in Bnei Brak, somewhere in the area between the Lederman Synagogue and the house of Rabbi Kanievsky, located across the street. A circumcision ceremony was held in the synagogue for the son of a dear Jew, whose privileges apparently include personal friendship with the Minister of the Interior, Gideon Sa'ar.
When the minister decided to attend the celebration, he coordinated his arrival with another friend of his in the Bnei Brak municipality: former mayor Avraham Rubinstein. The connection between the two It was created when Saar was Minister of Education and Rubinstein was Mayor, so the two spent a few hours together, and have maintained close contact through several channels ever since. Good for Rubinstein - after all, he has connections with a minister in the government, good for Saar - who squinted towards the Prime Minister's Office.
And so, when he missed the cabinet meeting and had to wait about 40 minutes for the party at the door (while being exposed to the common Haredi practice of inviting for a certain time and holding the party at a certain time), the minister honored his longtime friend.
But there was another purpose for his coming - a marginal purpose or perhaps it was the main purpose for which he bothered to come: a meeting with the Grand Rabbi Shteinman and the Grand Rabbi Kanievsky. Today, after the conscription law, there is no chance of coordinating the arrival of a Likud minister to the homes of the great men of Israel, but a random meeting 'on the road' - why not.
Thus, Saar met the Grach when he left the synagogue towards his home, and the Grail when he left the Grach's house, after the meeting for the 'Seventh Fund'.
Oiled publicists rushed to distribute the photos, as if the random handshake was a 'meeting.'.
At the house of the Grach, they did not bother to deny the existence of the meeting, as if - one should not deny the obvious and self-evident.
The Graal House, to remove any doubt, hastened to announce the following message: "A message from the Maran Rosh Ha-Yeshiva. For your information! The Maran Rosh Ha-Yeshiva Shlita did not receive Interior Minister Gideon Saar. What happened was that Saar approached him after the meeting that was held at the residence of the Maran Graal Shlita.".
When I contacted the minister's spokesman asking why the minister had come to El Barit, and whether he knew the family, I was met with a wall of silence.
