The last post on IfYouTickleUs is really something. It tells of an upcoming demonstration outside DC on Sunday night, “Zos Chanukah” [sic]. Not that the paper is worthy of a second glance but it is clearly written by an immature hateful person without much clue about how things work in the frum community. This isnt the first mention of such a thing on that blog. An earlier commenter on the afore mentioned there has said that there will be two demos, one for and one against. Attended by Rabbonim, Police and the CST, it is supposed to be very organised.
So I took the time to find out a bit of information for myself. But after confirming with Rabbonim [from both sides] and the police that no demo has been officially planned, I probed a little further. It appears that all this demo talk originates from a single source that is seeking to create mayhem in Golders Green. There is no march planned, and there will not be one because marches are not the Torah way. Whichever side we are on, we follow the Rabbonim of our side. We do not follow the plans of one Apikores.
After much inquiring, cajoling and threatening people in the know, I am fairly sure that I know who the instigator is. If it is the person whom I think it is, I have managed to get hold of a photo of him as well. I am in the process of asking a Shailah whether it is permitted to reveal the name, as I am in finding out whether it is legal. If the instigator continues, and it is permitted for me to reveal the details, I will post a new post with his full details.
If the demonstration goes ahead a separate blog post will be dedicated tomorrow night to displaying the individually cut out photos of each and every person who demonstrates tomorrow night. Helpful comments identifying the people will be welcome.
I cannot guarantee that my posts will be published. They will only happen after I get an approval from my present Daas Torah, and after I fully understand that the legal side is permitted.
