Rabbi Steinman's Decision
22 Tevet 5769
It has come to our attention by way of the Life In Israel blog that Rabbi Steinman has approval to begin allowing workers back into Modi'in Elite, the site of the terrorist acts committed almost three weeks ago.
Click here for the background behind Rabbi Steinman's decision.
We at Avodah Ivrit blog respect Rabbi Steinman, but would like to express our disappointment in his decision, and encourage him to reconsider his decision.
There is not only the issue of piqu'ah nefesh to consider, but there is also the issue as to whether we are in a current state of war with the people in question.
Even if Rabbi Steinman were not to hold this way, there is also the general concern of not violating the negative commandment of Lo Tehohem, something we would like all rabbis in Israel to consider.
We are not to make easy for goyim to remain in the Land, and to assist them in supporting themselves, save for gerei toshav.
We also recommend that the rulings of Rabbi Chaim Kansky and Rabbi Dov Lior be reviewed for additional information and guidance.

Qiriyat Sefer Stops Arab Workers From Entering
8 Tevet 5769
According to Haredi news site Lada'at.net, Modi'in Elite (Qiriyat Sefer) will not be allowing Arab workers into the town until further notice. The decision was the result of the meeting between the mayor and the community council.
Apparently, the decision has the blessing of the city's rabbi, Rabbi Guterman.
The Avodah Ivrit Blog wishes them success, yet also reminds them that the community council of the town of Ofra tried to do the same thing. The council backed down from its decision, though, when one Ofra resident threatened to sue the town for discriminating against his Arab contractor who held Israeli citizenship,...and who also happened to employ Arabs with residency under the Palestinian Authority.
Aside from that, it will be interesting to monitor additional "incidents" which on the surface, are claimed to be a result of Israel's action in Gaza.

Common Sense
6 Tevet 5769
Someone has some sense in Modi'in Elite (Qiriyat Sefer), where this and other, similar graffiti can now be found.
Modi'in Elite, the mostly Haredi town between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv was the site of terrorist attacks at the hands of Arabs employees last week.
The graffiti above was painted between a store and a building site.
"We Do Not Support Enemies"

Insanity
3 Tevet 5769
This morning's terror attack by Arab workers in Qiriyat Sefer was no surprise. When business as usual continues tomorrow, that will not be a surprise either.
The following was a surprise...a surprise that the victims were so surprised.
Ma'ariv: Tzvika Deutch, brother of Aryeh Deutch who was seriously wounded from a stabbing in the head, said, "I have known the worker who stabbed him already for four years. He has worked for 13 years as the work manager on building sites in Qiriyat Sefer. He was a friend of everyone." According to him, "We were going to one of our houses to eat together, but probably something undermined him as a result of the [current] events [in Gaza]."
Are they going to chalk this up to post-traumatic stress, and rehire him next week?
He goes on to report that the worker came into ask his wife what needed to be done, and then preceded to stab her. Nothing just snapped. That was planned.
Another terrorist may still be at large.
Stop the insanity already.
Please recite prayers for Aryeh ben Vardah's complete recovery.

מעריב: צביקה דויטש, אחיו של אריה דויטש שנפצע קשה מדקירה בראשו, סיפר: "אני כבר ארבע שנים מכיר את הפועל שדקר. הוא עובד כבר 13 שנים כמנהל עבודה באתרי בניה בקרית ספר. הוא היה חבר של כולם". לדבריו, "היינו הולכים אחד לבית של השני ואוכלים יחד, אבל כנראה שמשהו בזמן האחרון התערער אצלו בעקבות האירועים".
