FOLLOWING TRAGEDIES

Following Tragedies, Bnei Brak Rabbonim Speak Out Against Crossing On Red Light






In response to too many recent tragedies in Bnei Brak involving pedestrians, rabbonim in the city are calling on the tzibur to adhere to traffic signals, as required by halacha.
HaGaon HaRav Chaim Meir Wosner, HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein and HaGaon HaRav Shimon Ba’adani turn to the tzibur in a letter, calling on pedestrians not to cross streets if the light is red.
“Due to recent traffic accidents in a number of places throughout the city, traffic lights were installed to prevent the danger to the lives of the passengers, and a great regulation was done.
“But there are those who cross on red lights, and old or young standing by them also cross the street thinking that the traffic lights are green, and thereby endangering their lives and the lives of others, and the little ones learn to cross the street at a red light.
“And since we were warned in the holy Torah about ‘Veneshmartem Linafshoseichem’ it is incumbent upon each and every one to wait patiently, and cross the street only with a green light, and to know that great responsibility rests upon him.

“We also appeal to educators and parents to raise the danger of crossing the streets on the red light,” the rabbonim said.

ACHDUS IS MOST IMPORTANT

ACHDUS: Litzman Hints That Merger Between UTJ and Shas is Forthcoming



Deputy Health Minister and Chairman of United Torah Judaism Yaakov Litzman has hinted that there may indeed be a unity between UTJ and Shas ahead of the upcoming election and that the two parties will run on a joint list.
During the Agudas Yisroel Conference on Wednesday, the party ratified the list of candidates that will run for the 21st Knesset. Litzman said during the conference that the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah has already ratified the move to join together with Shas.
“After we have succeeded at signing an agreement with Degel HaTorah, it seems likely that we will sign an agreement with Shas as well. The Moetzes has already agreed to the move and is working towards it. In addition, the polls are in favor of such a move,” said Litzman.
“If we join together and we prove that the committee can achieve its goals, we could greatly increase our strength, far more than what you believe possible,” he added.
