Be'ezras Hashem Yisborach, Adar 5766
Mi LeHashem Eileinu
We are seeking our Jewish brethren and turn to all
yirei'im vechareidim ledevar Hashem with a call for
chizuk and ziruz as the Knesset elections
scheduled for 28 Adar of this year approach, for fateful
matters relating to the principles and foundations of
Judaism, the existence of the holy yeshivas and the sanctity
of Shabbos in Eretz Hakodesh hang in the balance along
with other matters that relate to Klal Yisroel who
cling to Toras Yisroel — ki hee chayeinu ve'orech
yomeinu.
In these times of frequently recurring difficulties,
Hashem yeracheim, as well as spiritual and physical
perils, the sword of [security] threats and terrorist attacks
lurks outside while sinners rise up from within, to our
sorrow who, instead of strengthening the fences of the
religion in order to stop every threat to the peace and
security of the residents of the Holy Land, they seek to
uproot the foundations of Judaism, to turn Shabbos into a
weekday choliloh, to impair the uniqueness of Am
Yisroel, to increase haughtiness, to constrict lomdei
Torah, to scheme against pure education, and the standing
of the rabbinate and kashrus and the purity of Jewish lineage
and they even look with disfavor upon yaldei Yisroel,
for in recent years they have gone so far as to take away
their bread, bringing some to the point of poverty and want,
Hashem yeracheim.
Therefore we are acting as the representatives of the earlier
generations, the tzadikim and geonim of
Eretz Hakodesh and from abroad, the cedars of Lebanon,
the shepherds of Yisroel, zechusom yogen oleinu ve'al kol
Yisroel, who made known their holy opinion, daas
Torah, that one has an obligation to participate in the
Knesset elections and to lend support to our representatives,
shluchei derabbonon. We hereby call on all who are
with Hashem wholeheartedly to gird their strength to act only
for the success of the United Torah Judaism and Shabbat
— Agudas Yisroel Degel HaTorah list, whose symbol is
Gimmel, and which is under the authority of gedolei
Torah and gedolei Chassidus, and nobody may exempt
himself from this obligation.
We pray to Hashem Yisborach that those who vote for
the UTJ and Shabbat-Gimmel list, which is true to Hashem and
His Torah, and which unites different groups to achieve its
supreme goal, working as one in these difficult times and
increasing activists and warriors for our Holy Torah and for
kodshei Yisroel in the traditional Jewish spirit with
love and brotherhood, peace and friendship, may they be
blessed with children, life and sustenance and all blessings
from the Source of Blessings and may all who vote for United
Torah Judaism and Shabbat-Agudas Yisroel Degel HaTorah, whose
symbol is Gimmel, be blessed with all the blessings
written in the Torah.
