[Letter below.] Maran Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva of Philadelphia and senior member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Yisroel, released a letter a short while ago regarding the question of whether the American Olam Hayeshivos should participate in a protest rally to be held this Sunday in Manhattan against Israeli efforts to draft chareidim into the IDF.
Rav Kamenetsky says that, in accordance with the views of Maran Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman and Maran Rav Chaim Kanievsky, bnei yeshiva should not attend, as the proper response to the current gezeirah is not to hold hafganos or protests, but to strengthen and increase the study of Torah and tefillah.
Rav Kamenetsky writes that this opinion of Rav Shteinman and Rav Chaim Kanievsky was affirmed to him in a letter today, signed by Rav Chaim himself.

Its pouring outside! Should I wear my Shabbos hat & take a chance of ruining it or should just take my old shmatta hat? Its Rosh Chodesh & I want to look normal. My shoes, forget it!
Spread the word.
Some people are trying to confuse people and are claiming that Rav Chaim shlit”a took an opposite position. Make sure your friends are not fooled by them and their unsubstantiated rumors.
