Lithuanian-haredi leader Rabbi Dov Lando has recently initiated an unusual move in which several haredi factions would withdraw their investment funds from Israel, Channel 12 News reported.
According to the report, Rabbi Lando recently approached members of the Eidah Haharedit to explore the possibility that they would join the move in protest of the arrest of haredi yeshiva students who refuse to enlist in the IDF.
The Eidah Haharedit was surprised by the request, which was described as particularly unusual due to the sharp differences between the two sides.
While the extremist faction opposes any cooperation with State institutions, Rabbi Lando is associated with the organized leadership of the haredi community. In response, members of the Eidah Haharedit suggested that Rabbi Lando join the protests, but he refused, stating, according to them, that "he does not believe in this."
The request is being carefully considered by the members of the Eidah Haharedit due to Rabbi Lando's senior status. A source within the Eidah Haharedit claimed that the move could have "dramatic consequences, even leading to the collapse of banks." The source emphasized that despite their rigid ideological stance, they take a cautious and practical approach.
On Thursday, Rabbi Lando, 96, visited the military prison at Beit Lid, where two young haredi men are being held. This is an unusual step by the Lithuanian-haredi leader, and the visit was approved by the military police.

In a fiery address marking the end of the summer zeman at Yeshivas Or Yisroel in Petach Tikvah, Rosh Yeshiva Rav Yigal Rozen spoke sharply about current events, issuing scathing remarks against political and judicial leaders. His comments were published by journalist Avi Ravina.
Referring to Naftali Bennett as well as the leadership of Israel’s judicial and military systems, Rav Rozen said, “Like in the Holocaust, they are suspected that they could kill us in gas chambers. Also the brother from Ra’anana. They are suspected of this. If they want, let them sue me in court. They don’t count us. Resha’im, antisemites — they are worse than the Germans, yimach shemam.”
Turning to the issue of the draft law, Rav Rozen declared, “Dissolving the Knesset and going to elections now over the draft law is the worst thing; it will hurt Shas at the ballot box. There is no situation in the world to bring a draft law. Those lowlifes in the Supreme Court will not agree to it. There is no reason to be encouraged right now. And if we go to elections, the situation will be much worse. All those antisemites will already be in Gehinnom when Moshiach comes.”
They can all go to hell.
Rav Rozen’s Torah is so powerful that even in Gehinnom, he can learn Torah to such an extreme extent that his Torah wisdom will protect him from Satan’s hot coals.
