JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Journalist Yisrael Cohen revealed that the Vizhnitzer Rebbe had a private meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu late last night. This is the first time that a member of the Council Of Torah Sages arrives at the prime minister’s official residence in Balfour Street, Jerusalem.

The meeting was kept in the utmost secrecy but it was apparently intended to enable the chasidic faction of UTJ to sign the coalition agreement with the Likud which will enable Netanyahu to establish his government with Benny Gantz. The Rebbe discussed matters of religion with Netanyahu as well as the draft law which will be legislated in the coming Knesset.
Vizhnitz sources maintain that the meeting, which lasted 45 minutes, was not convened for political reasons but rather for a personal issue which the Rebbe wished to discuss with Netanyahu.
The coalition agreement between the Likud and UTJ which will be signed Wednesday evening states that Chareidi educational budgets should be equated with the budget for state education but at the same time the independence of the Chareidi educational institutions should be maintained. The draft law should allow Torah scholars to continue their studies uninterrupted and the status quo on matters of state and religion should be maintained.
Yep this is exactly was what Chasidus was intended to be.
A Rebbe of thousands of Chasidim met willingly with a smile on his face with the PM of the Torah forbidden state.
The Shanda is huge.
Give it up Maven – BORUCH HASHEM WE HAVE OUR OWN STATE!
Maven, would you rather he met with the Chancellor of Germany? Your comment is misguided, and ridiculous!
I agree with maven 100%
Maven,
What you need is fresh air and a bowl of yellow rice. Read a mystery novel and take exlax.
The word SHANDA is a dead giveaway.
Used by leftist Jews all the time. Especially Israel haters and those who use a meeting like this to attack it. Get it ??
For years, throughout galus, the rabbanim and askanim met with the heads of state for the sake of benefiting the yidden. Why is this any different?
Josh__ You are quoting an evil lie.
Kastner Train, however is truth.
Who cares anyway ??
Even a rebbe comes to meet our PM.
Eat your heart out, or eat a baloney salad.
Did I mention Kastner Train??
Look who’s babbling about Jewish blood.!! This holy Vishznitzer Rebbe , unlike his relative in UPSTATE NY , didn’t bloody his hands by supporting and advertising the Obama Iran Deal. Iranian Gazan rockets were partly his responsibility. Talk about blood soaked Jews ,eh ?
Teaching kids to pray for Israel’s destruction, eh ?
Jewish blood, eh ??
Kill yas joe has his chasidim mixed up. You’re referring to Satmar. This was the Vizhnitzer rebbi who fully cooperates with the State. But for an anti-Semite like you, all Jews are to be hated, right?
When the Satmars find out how much he gained from the meeting, R’ Aron and R’ ZL will be holding hands singing Hatikva to get in on the action.
Kol Hakavod to Viznitzer Raba he did it on behalf of all Frum Yiden in israel a true Manhig not looking on his own interest doesn’t care what some non wise people would say , also no body said that having a state will block coming of Meshach because NOBODY knows
kudos to the Rebbe!
really glad to hear this. he is continuing the precedent of the admor R. Yisrael zt’l who
lived in Grossvardine . he did not want to join in the ostracism of the Zionists.
he felt that Hashem prposely wanted them to rebuild the Land.
see also Rabbeinu Bachya on Va Yikra 11:4–7
If Netanyahu would need Vizhintz, he would go to the Rebbe.
But Netanyahu does not need Vizhinitz anymore.
Now Vizhinitz and UTJ needs Netanyahu.
Therefore the Rebbe went to Netanyahu.
The “ani” (pauper) goes to the “oshir” (wealthy donor) for a nedava (charirty).
