Israel Railways against placing tefillin in cars Israel Railways prevented the Chabad man from offering passengers to put on phylacteries during a train ride. This was published on 103 fm The train: "Any unauthorized action is prohibited Israel Railways prevented a Chabad man from Safed from offering to put on tefillin during a train ride from Lod to Carmiel, the Anatolia news agency reported. During a routine train ride from Lod to Karmiel, Chabad Chassidim turned to the passengers and invited them to put on Tefillin. A few minutes later, a supervisor asked them to stop. "An inspector approached him and asked him to stop on the grounds that passengers complained that he was bothering them," said the father of one of them, Rabbi Asi Spiegel. "My son made it clear to the inspector that he was offering this to the people sitting on the train and not forcing anyone to put on tefillin and that it was a mitzvah - but the inspector did not hear what he said." Rabbi Spiegel said that his son shared with him the details of the event, which surprised him greatly. "I have never been approached by a supervisor and asked me to stop," said Rabbi Spiegel, who for decades has been telling Jews around the world to put on tefillin, "This is not about harassing people in the public sphere, "We are sensitive professionals and know when to respect the other - and in recent years they feel that this is a religious persecution." The chairman of the secular forum, Dr. Ram Fruman, referred to the case: "In every public place, people have the right not to suffer harassment, not even from other religions ... There are countries in the world where this is customary, but we do not live in such a country, We want to live in a country like this. " Anyone who wants to put on tefillin is allowed and I will fight for his right to do so. Ben-Gurion Airport has a certain booth where people come willingly and no one forces them. I do not think that anyone There's a problem with that. By the way, there are a lot of religious people who suffer from this contempt of Judaism and the solicitation of religion. " Rabbi Spiegel criticized the conduct of the liberal organizations, saying: "This phenomenon has existed for many years, and we occasionally get shouts, but in a video we saw at the airport, we were exposed to the impatience and acceptance of the other liberals. Because the banner of liberalism has become aggressive. " Dr. Fruman responded by saying, "Chabad is an aggressive organization, and I have not seen them show liberalism when talking to them about evolution." The Israel Railways said in response:"According to Israel Railways procedures, any action not expressly approved by railway workers at the station or on the train itself is prohibited. And ask the passengers to respect the passengers and privacy of the train, and to allow everyone to enjoy the road. " |
