The dispute between the rabbi of Kfar Chabad, the Gram Ashkenazi, and the settlement committee is widening: In response to the harsh letter sent by the Rabbi of Hamara Datra to the Kfar Chabad Committee - A letter first revealed on the Haredi website10 - In which Rabbi Ashkenazi recounts what happened behind the scenes in the war that "the activists are fighting me because I acted against the slaughterhouse," and threatens that he will not be able to stop legal proceedings that will dissolve the Chabad Village Committee, and that personal lawsuits will be filed against those who do not renounce the illegal actions of the previous chairman and current chairman Rabbi Meir Ashkenazi - at the end of the week, the committee members sent a letter of response.
In the letter, the committee members announce that they will not comply with his demand to prevent the expansion of the slaughterhouse owned by the Lipschitz family, and that they intend to approve the expansion, as decided at the general meeting "in the management of the honor of his Torah.".
Regarding the threats he sent in his letter, the committee members write: "We categorically reject the claims and demands arising from the letter from the head of the committee, and are surprised to read the threats mentioned in it against the committee members.
""Furthermore, the salience of his letter threatening personal lawsuits is irrelevant to those members of the committee, who have never acted, and will never act, against the decisions of the general assembly.".
