Israel – Rioting erupted this afternoon outside the Grodno Yeshiva of Ashdod as a result of a legal dispute between the Grodno and Ponovezh yeshivas regarding the ownership of land currently occupied by the Grodno yeshiva. During the afternoon, a representative of the Ponovezh yeshiva came to Grodno’s building in Ashdod in attempt to execute an alleged court order to evict the Grodno Yeshiva from the building.

The Ponovezh representative, accompanied by 30 security guards, refused to show Grodno officials the court order, and as a result violence erupted on the scene between Yeshiva students and the security guards. Police and the Yasam unit were called up to quell the riot, which resulted in a few Yeshiva students being hurt.
After Ashdod Police chief came to the scene and demanded to see the court order, it was discovered that Ponovezh’s representative did not have the alleged court order. Consequently the representative was called up to Ashdod’s police station for investigation. The representative was later released.
I see we are learning from the Arabs
What an imbarismint!
Lots of strange people running around yelling things. Looks like fun.
I’m sure it was leshaim shamayim…..or something.
and i thought only chasidim can do this
so painfull
The whole deal is shameful, one yeshiva v. another, students rioting against each other. Very sad state of affairs. So, Ponovezh is trying to force another yeshiva out of the building to expand their own Torah learning business, but it does it with lies and no court orders at all? I’m sure many parents are proud to send their boys to an “honest” yeshiva like this.
זו תורה?
We chasidim know that moshiach will come keshyafutzu maayanechea chutzah (when the well of chasidus will overflow meaning everyone will know chasidus)I think this story proves we reached that point so moshiach will be here shortly
In a perverse way, this made me laugh. After all the chillul hashem caused by these meshugaiim throwing rocks and dirty diapers at the police at the parking lot in yerushalayim, its nice to see them focus their energies on one another.
I’m sure this all happened bein haSedorim,, by the time 2nd seder rolled around, everyone was back at the shtender
Also, the oilem says Yeshiva guys are all the same, no individuality. Not true, I saw some guys with hats bent up , some bent down
no it’s not sad; it’s VERY SAD
At least if they can’t make it in learning they’ll know how to fight.
I wish the various Yeshivas and Mosdos would create a riot league. Each place riots against each other, and whoever wins….well, they win. We could even do tiered leagues. If normal sports aren’t allowed because its bittul torah or too goyish. then at least compete in something that you seem to excel at. You could sell cholent and kishke at the games and maybe some sushi. I definitely see some potential for money here……
Little boys came back to start their new zman only to get thrown out while learning, look most are in shirt sleeves.Their sforim bedding & clothing is inside,. How sad. A private security company of 30 was hired with no lehgal court order nor Beis Din, They beat these innocent boys & call the cops who continued to beat them.
What are the kids meant to do, they are not part of the politics.
Now which Ponevez [there are two, who share the same building Bais Hamedrah , Dorm & dinning room, but Bochurim from the rival Yeshiva may not speak or learn with each other] sent the chevra?
The Poneveze Rov Zatzal set up may Yeshivos, Grodno is one to replace the Yeshivos detroyed in Lita & W. Russia in the Holocaust. He did it Lesheim Shomayim, not to inherit real estate to his kids. This is a chilul Hashem, & the poor bochurim suffer, each & every one must be asked mechila, & I hope no one has perminant injuries.
Torah Tora Chigri Sak !! Shoimu Shomayim.
Litvish,Chassidish, etc… it doesn’t make a difference. For any Jew to act like this is a true embarrassment!
Since when is defending yourself and your property against intruders embarrassing????
i remember when satmer had some riots all this correct ppl. where saying shem on satmer
HERE WE GO
With all this rioting and battle experience you’d think the Charedim would be a great asset to the IDF. Even more reason for them to join.
It’s very sad that yeshivas cannot get along with each other and have to resort to this. Don’t they know that this will reach the media? The days of Kol De’alim Gevar is gone, nowadays the camera is what prevails.
Wow what great kavod these talmidei chachomim are giving each other during sefira….boruch hashem at least they didn’t do a real issur like chas vesholom shave…. We dont have any dayanim or gedolim that can settle this ? The yeshiva bochrim are going to duke it out ? What kind of crazy world are we living in ? Maybe the gedolim are too busy answering important shailos from people about whether they can wear crocs on yom kippur… Wait a second… can I wear my crocs during sefira ? Doesn’t sefira have some kind of dinei availos ?… I better go run to ask Rav Elyashiv.
I don’t know what they’re doing there it these yeshivas, it’s not torah they’re learning….it looks like torah, it smells like torah but it’s not torah!
DARCHEHA DARCHEI NOAM
why would these yeshivot go to a secular court?
is not a beit din appropriate?
or am i missing something?
What does their neighbor the Pittsburger Rebbie Shlita say, a true emissary of Shalom
Why do the security guys have shirts that say “security” in English?? Is that the official written language in Israel? I don’t hear too many peole speaking English in the video.
I would give those bored fellows free ice cream from the new shop in Jerusalem, maybe it would cool their lower extremities and they will go back to their shtender
this sounds like telz!
As an American charedei who’s lived in Eretz Yisroel for 16 years, I believe that these kids are missing an outlet for physical activities. The taboo on sports must be lifted. I have spoken to several Roshei Yeshivas who agree. In the meantime bochrim have three outlets: napping, smoking, and fighting
Who remembers when the sirians were the gentlemens and when governor spitzer was Mr Correct and the chasidim were the ganuvim and chayos .bottom line is the chasidim do the most chesed and yes the satmare they are it .
what a chilul hashem..
I didn’t c a single person lift his hand….y is every1 getting bent out of shape. A group of thugs show up at a yeshiva and start pushing the students around; did a single one push back?? If anything I think the civilty is quite evident!! And I’m a Chossid who wouldn’t be toasted if I came into their zal….Why can’t more people be more positive? Come on Yidden lets get together and do acts of kindness w/e/o; lets have loads of ahavas chessed chinam!!!!!
Here’s the vort. Its mamesh lemaaseh the geder of kovod hateira and the gedolim themselves don’t really want to do the inyan of machloikess. But my mashgiach told me that’s its a chetza of shaas cheirum and the Rambam paskens that in such a matzav u takeh have to be mekayem bepoiyel a milchemes hashem
And hu hadin against all those milchemess mitzvoh th*t moronon verabonon hamoronim shlita have waged. Its mamesh a chiyuv gavra on each of us to be mekayem “L’maan yishmeu” and Eilov tishmou”
The mr. from number 50, he knows exactly who is jewish to make his calculations. The first story now on VIN is “the last jewish baby born at St. Vincent” Nice story.
What is the name of this Jewish mother “Anastasia Jancu”. Nu, you chochom did you include her in your jewish or gentile statistics when you bad mouthed the jewish population.
There is simply NO way to know in the non frum population who is or is not jewish simply by their names. Closed case. We fully accept your apology in the name of judism.
