lema'an achi vere'i! the jewish community is in a war against evil forces from the outside, but also from the inside, here is a glimpse into one of the battles that took place 23 years ago in Monsey against the heresy zionism.

With the Help of the Almighty

PUBLIC PROTEST Friday, July 5, 2002

We were astonished to learn that one of the leaders of the Zionist State of Israel was invited to attend a party in our community, and gave a speech there.

This entity, which our rabbis have taught us is in opposition to our Torah, and which uproots our religion under the banner of nationalism, is the source of mischief, and is the root cause of all types of suffering experienced by our brethren in the Holy Land, exactly as predicted by our ancient prophets and by our rabbis.

Therefore, we hereby virulently protest against this treacherous act of honoring a politician of that State that rebels against G-d, to listen to his words and to collaborate with evildoers, thereby breaking down the prohibitions of our rabbis throughout the generations.
