Litzman could have done a lot to prevent closure.

Now that he's resigning, it's too late

The resignation of the Minister of Housing and Construction is only declaratory, but behind it there is a just claim: if mass demonstrations are held, there is no reason why prayer quorums should be banned.

Despite this, Litzman's conduct is merely a symptom of the failing government and its handling of the corona crisis.

The first signs of the expected resignation of Minister Yaakov Litzman from the government could be identified for the first time in the newspaper HaModi'a, the home magazine of the Gur Hasidim he represents, in a headline published about two weeks ago.

Litzman clarified at the time that "we will not allow the closure of the holidays, and we will even consider retiring from the government if it is decided to do so."

In the same breath, he criticized the demonstrations in Balfour and the opening of cultural halls, as opposed to continuing restrictions in synagogues and preventing the travel arrangements of Breslav's followers to Uman.



Litzman's associates claimed today that there was no ulterior motive surrounding his resignation, no indictment that could be filed against him and he would be forced to resign or a demand by the Rebbe to vacate his seat.

"He was instructed by his spiritual leader, the Rebbe of Gur, to resign because of a planned decision that is not sensitive to the holidays and festivals of Israel and does not see the needs of tens of thousands of worshipers."



The truth must be told: Litzman is right.

The resignation of the Minister of Housing and Construction is perhaps an act of protest and declaration only.

He remained MK coalition and possibly return soon to the Ministry of Construction and Housing. Sound familiar? That's exactly what happened after he retired from the Ministry of Health as increased government work on the Sabbath. So what right? That protest declarative significance.



Hasidic man can not serve as a government minister who It has crooked priorities. Israel is a Jewish and democratic state. If Israel is a democratic state, and it is possible to hold mass demonstrations in it; and if mass performances and cultural events could be held in recent weeks; and if there was no closure in July-August, The most critical and important period for worshipers and traditionalists, is that praying will be forbidden or almost impossible, and there is no reason why prayer meetings should not be held, at least under the same restrictions as the demonstrations.

Litzman resigned from the government because of the imminent decision to close

To the full article

The sanctity of life is above all

Six days ago, Netanyahu met with Litzman and Deri and pledged to them that even if a closure was imposed on the holidays, it would be possible to hold prayers in accordance with a broad and broad outline.

Netanyahu has broken that promise - at least Litzman claims so.

When the latter accepted the proposal submitted to the government over the weekend, his eyes darkened: the number of worshipers in a closed building was very limited.

For a representative of the Gur Hasidim in government, a Hasidism that adheres to the guidelines of almost all its members, this was in the Job Gospel.

Litzman's associates claimed today that there was no hidden motive around the resignation.

Litzman's resignation letter

Every holiday, thousands of Hasidim, close to 10,000, immigrate to Jerusalem to pray with the Rebbe. When Litzman realized on Friday that even 200 people would not be able to pray in it, he realized he had no mandate to continue, not even from home. The Rebbe's order was to retire.



And despite everything, Litzman's conduct is part of the symptoms of this failed government's way of dealing with the Corona.

The government of which he was a member, could take a lot of steps to prevent a closure, and he, as one of its senior members, could push it to do so.

Instead, he chose to launch threats at the House newspaper and demand the dismissal of Projector Roni Gamzo.

Now, with over 3,000 patients daily, the sanctity of life is paramount.

A religious or ultra-Orthodox person should understand this most of all.

To resign because they are closing now and only because they did not do so in the summer months is a mistake.
