Eliezer Melamed, Rosh Yeshiva Har Bracha Yeshiva and author of Halacha books "Pearls of Halacha" this evening (Sunday) referred for the first time to a publication in "Israel Today" according to which leading rabbis in religious Zionism signed letters calling not to rely on his books: Let them bring about good deeds. "
As will be recalled, a number of leading rabbis in the national religious community have published two exceptional and unprecedented letters in their sharpness against Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, the rabbi of Har Bracha and the author of the book "Pearls of Halacha". In recent months, rabbis have been leading an attack against the rabbi, in part because of his media meetings with leaders of the reform movement, but now they are taking the struggle a step further, calling not to trust his books and some of his halakhic rulings.
Earlier, on the eve of the launch of the book "And this is the thing of the shemita" by Rabbi Raines' writings held at a yeshiva in Har Bracha, Rabbi Melamed referred to the words: Of Rabban Gamliel says all my days I grew up among the sages and did not find a good body but silence, and not the Midrash is the main thing but the deed and all the many things brings sin. The main thing is that they will bring about good deeds. "
At the same time, the chairman of the Bnei Akiva Yeshivot and Ulpanot Center and the elder of the rabbis of religious Zionism, Rabbi Chaim Druckman, expressed support for a video he sent on the occasion of Rabbi Eliezer Melamed: "I would like to take this opportunity "Halacha." That brought many Jews, including many youth, closer to learning Halacha happily.
The rabbi went on to emphasize the rights of Rabbi Melamed - "Blessed is Rabbi Eliezer that you have won this and that you entitle the entire people of Israel to it.
