[Photos below.] An Israeli flag was hoisted upon the roof of Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak as it is every year on Yom Ha’atzmaut, but a group of troubled youth confronted the talmidim of the yeshiva and created a tumult.
It was not clear what all the troublemakers desired in their protest, but some of them then proceeded to bother pedestrians and others on the busy Rechov Chazon Ish, blocking the street and harassing passersby.
See below for photos of some of the activity today:

shame on these people
Why in the world is it hoisted up there every year? I was not even aware of this.
“a group of troubled youth” looking for some excitement
with this the case theres no way Mashiach is coming to bring us the 3rd bais Hamikdosh we await for.
Remove Sinas Chinam from your life & help return the bais Hamikdosh much faster
Loshon Horah does not need to be specific. A report that causes negative reaction is also Asur mikir Hadin.
Why is everyone so quick to condemn them – HaRav Shach zt’l used to praise Satmar’s anti-recognition position even though it was the opposite to what he ruled, if I am not mistaken
if only more people did this…
THE YESHIVA WAS FOUNDED BY THE PONIVITCHER ROV ZTL
HE FLEW THE FLAG
WHEN ONE OF THESE PROTESTERS (WHO ARE USUALLY UNEMPLOYED BORED PEPOLE) CAN PROVE THAT HE IS EQUAL TO THE RAV ZTL THEN WE CAN TALK
who are you to say there troubled if harav shach and all the gedolim where agaist them
You reap what you sow
Medinat yisroel – the worlds greatest supporter of Torah study.
In Ponivezh Yeshiva they don’t say Tachnun on Yom Ha’atzmaut. The Poniveshe Rov Z”L was asked: if you don’t say Tachnun, then say Hallel? He answered the he follows the Minhag of Ben Gurion. Ben Gurion didn’t say Tachnun but also didn’t say Hallel!!!
Doesn’t look like much of anything was going on at all.
In yeshivos it’s chavrusoh tumult, and in Ponovezh yeshiva it’s flag tumult, nu nu!!
‘One talmid, Avi, quoted by Kikar Shabbos stated that we arent Zionists but we remain committed to continue the minhag that was started by the founder of the yeshiva, HaGaon HaRav Kahanaman ZTL. ‘

despite themselves
(and you)
On one particular occasion, when NK was protesting at Ponevezh , R Kahaneman was asked why dont you do something about this?
Why dont you make sure they didnt come?
He responded If they wouldnt come on their own, I would pay them to come!
I want all to know that what Im doing is only an unfortunate be’dieved not the right way to do things, but necessary perhaps because of the difficulty of the times.
THAT was his minhag
What makes these youth troubled, exactly? The Israeli flag represents a hatred of Torah, plain and simple.
