Remember when the Erev Rav reptiles were probably gaslighting Jews they were about to be rained on by Persion projectiles so they could show off when no deaths occurred, (not me, I don’t believe anything the government says), and the non-observant were Googling words like “Tehillim” on Shabbos?
And then Iran announced it was over, they would stop firing. No harm, no foul. Anyone with half a brain realized “Jezre’el” was too afraid of its own shadow to respond (beyond a symbolic gesture), so that’s it. The “war”, the chillul Hashem and the idolatry of relying on the nations for defense was over. מאי דהוה הוה. What earthly reason was there to then be mevatel Tinokos shel Beis Rabban?!
But Rabbi Dov Landa, a person whose stature matches the length of his Shmoneh Esrei (does he even say all the words?!), a confirmed public word-breaker (he forgot his own Torah), “gadolized” mostly by being the last man standing, and extremely naive and accepting of government lies (Corona, etc.), decided boys in the younger grades would not study in Cheder that Sunday.
Ahron Rabinovitch reports (Haaretz):
So, why doesn’t he ask his private spook if Yeshiva bachurim should go to the army, as well, huh? What happened to “Torah über alles“?! R’ Landa is known to be extremely cowardly in his personal life, so I assume we all have to bow to his panics. When a private letter of his was altered and publicized, the rabbi hid in his house for a very long while, fearing zealots both real and imaginary (I’m understating matters).
In fact, if you read between the lines, it sounds like the “source” had to calm him down enough to even permit Torah study by the higher grades!
