QUOTES FROM THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE RABBIS OF THE RABBINICAL COURT OF JERUSALEM   We hereby explicitly prohibit in the most stringent terms any participation of any person in the celebrations relating to the observance of the Zionist Day of Independence – as it is stated in Psalms Happy is he who does not follow the advice of the wicked, and who does not stand in the path of sin.   On the contrary, it is on this bitter day that the Zionist heretics declared war on Judaism with their heresy and persecution of religion in the Holy Land, and proceeded to endanger all Jews with their vile provocations. Every person who is conscious of this situation must cry over the fact that the Name of G-d is so terribly desecrated along with all of the commandments of the Torah and our faith in the coming of the Messiah. Woe to the generation in which such things occur!! We warn parents and teachers to protect your children in every possible way from going to watch or participate in the wicked events. Whoever listens to our words shall surely merit to see consolation and salvation for the Jewish People.   Rabbi Yitzchak Tovia Weiss, Head of the Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, Grand Rabbi of Satmar Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, Member of the Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem Rabbi Moshe Halberstam, Member of the Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem Rabbi Meir Brandsdorfer, Member of the Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Olman, Member of the Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem * * * The text above is a translation.
