The head of the Gur yeshiva, Rabbi Alter, responded to a lot of people about tapes distributed by his opponents, in which his words were 'cooked' - and wrote: "I do not intend to comment on excerpts of words that are published with malicious distortion.".
The yeshiva's letter came after over the past month, recordings of Rabbi Alter's speeches were distributed that were cut and rearranged. "They would call the yeshiva's head, ask questions - and receive an answer," says one of his associates to the Haredim 10. "They edited the answer afterwards so that it would serve their purpose.".
And this is what the Rosh Yeshiva wrote:
""Basad 25th of Tevet Shefat Emet for the Jerusalem P.C.
To my friend R'...... N"Y
You are not the first (and probably not the last) to approach me on this matter. And I will clarify again what I have already said to others. I do not intend to address excerpts of things that are published with malicious distortion. I trust every intelligent person, and certainly those whom you call "the best and most important people" will not accept a position and will not make up their mind, without hearing the facts in full and clarifying the background of the matter.
And God will spread a canopy of peace over all of us who worship Him with a whole heart.
Dearly beloved
