A man was arrested Wednesday after attempting to attack Harav Gershon Edelstein at his home in Bnei Brak.

The incident came amid increasing concern over threats made to top medical officials from those who oppose the country’s mass vaccination drive that aims to inoculate the entire over 16 population by the end of April.

The man, in his twenties, was arrested by police after the attempted assault on Harav Gershon Edelstein, who is 97.

The rav’s family members were able to fend him off, but then called police when he tried to again attack the rabbi outside the building on Ra’avad Street.

Officers who arrived found the man “shouting and running amok,” police said in a statement that confirmed the man was opposed to vaccinations.

    • A correct observation. What in the world does his opinion on vaccinations have to do with his attempted attack on Rav Edelstein??? Why does the headline and the story even mention his view-on-vaccinations???

  1. I agree with Sy, and would add that there are also many nebach mentally ill people with axes to grind who will find fault with whole communities based on the actions of some misguided unfortunate people who more often than not have no real connection to any particular community or group.

  2. As a health professional & “committed Jew”, I have still got to ‘come to ‘grippes’, & try to understand, the ‘mind machinations’ of my Fellow Co-Religionists! However, in all honesty, I’m slowly coming to the sad conclusion, that all my efforts are a “Beracha L’Vatolah”!!
