Rabbi Shmuel Pappenheim: "Special Prayer on Leil Shabbat !"

B"H

The spokesman of the anti - Zionist umbrella organization Edah HaCharedit, Rabbi Shmuel Pappenheim, stated that this coming Leil Shabbat (Friday night), further special prayers are taking place in Jerusalem's Bar Ilan Street. The demonstrations themselves are going to take place on Shabbat.

As I wrote before, Jerusalem's Mayor Nir Barkat wants to open the parking lot of the municipality in order to provide enough parking space for all the visitors of Jerusalem on Shabbat. For the past two weeks, it was quiet, as the Mayor had delayed his decision. This Shabbat, however, the parking lot will be opened up again and the Edah HaCharedit is going wild.

According to them, the Mayor should keep a municipality parking lot closed because otherwise it would be a desecration of Shabbat and the Holy City.
Three weeks ago, an Edah demonstration took place (see photo below) and demonstrators as well as policemen got hurt.


This Shabbat, the same may take place again.

In addition to that, the Jerusalem Gay Parade is going to take place tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. Don't ask me what the plans of the Haredim are ! I have no idea and just avoid the entire city center. Not because of the Haredim but because I don't want to face gay guys wearing boxer shorts and bras, as it was the case at the beach at Tel Aviv's Gay Parade almost two weeks ago.

Concerning Rabbi Shmuel Pappenheim:
I think that he is a Toldot Aharon Chassid.
Does his family originally come from Germany ?
I once met a Toldot Aharon woman whose name was Pappenheim (at the TA Synagogue). She was extremely friendly and hopefully I will talk to her again one day !
