Gur's Violence: Akiva and Bunim Confronted at 'Kalman Lieberman' • Watch

May 23, 2022   

Akiva Greenzig, a member of the community of the yeshiva head from Gur, said this morning (Monday), in an interview with Kalman Libeskind and Assaf Lieberman on the B network: "We left because it's a cult, now everyone sees what we saw for years.". Are you about to give birth? Receive: professional lectures, tips and pampering gifts ""Gur was originally a magnificent 160-year-old Hasidism," added Greenzig. "During the entire life of the previous Rebbe, it was one of the most magnificent communities in Israel. During the current Rebbe's time, the community changed its character and took on the characteristics of a cult." In front of Moll, Hasidic Gur appeared on the Bonim Nagel broadcast: "It makes me laugh that we have to justify that we don't live in a cult. Those who constantly send pamphlets against the Rebbe to our mailboxes and voice messages to our phones are them. You can see who is persecuting whom. The fact that we are big and powerful does not make us incapable of enduring persecution and harassment." The shocking wave of violence against innocent people erupted after last Thursday, the Rebbe of Gur arrived with his wife at his mother-in-law's grave in a cemetery in Tel Aviv. A father, whose young daughters were separated from him, cried out on the spot and asked the Rebbe to intervene. "When the Rebbe left, mercenaries were waiting for him," Nagel claimed. "This entire incident is a continuation of an incitement campaign that turns the Rebbe of Gur into a child kidnapper. There is no such thing as coming to the Rebbe and personally attacking him." After the incident, Rabbi Moshe Mendelsohn, the rabbi of the Kommiut Moshav, one of the Gur Hasidic rabbis, sent a message to the Hasidic community - in which he stated: "In this state of affairs, in everything that concerns protest and the prevention of persecution, we have no ability to ask our people not to defend themselves and protest as required by Halacha." After the recording, the violent events began. Nagel claimed, contrary to the numerous recordings, that the Gur Hasidic community was the one who was attacked. "There were difficult events that I unequivocally condemn, but what happened to the eldest of the generation in the cemetery is also violence that must be condemned. How can you speak with such hypocrisy and naivety about violence? Where were you on Thursday when a eldest of the generation was attacked?" Greenzig attacked Nagel's words, saying: "Quite amazingly and strangely, none of the Gur followers were hospitalized, while dozens of followers of the Bnei Menachem community were hospitalized and brutally beaten. Let's imagine that Bibi tells all his fans, 'Red lines have been crossed here because they shouted at me in the street, go out and beat me up.' Can we say that this is not his responsibility?""
