Pandemonium broke out at Yeshivas Brisk on Rechov Press in Yerushalayim Shabbos morning when a kanna’i with connections to the Eidah Hachareidis arrived at the yeshiva to shout at the rosh yeshiva, Rav Avrohom Rav Avrohom Yehoshua Soloveitchik.
The incident occurred after Mussaf, when the kanna’i entered the bais medrash and began yelling at Rav Soloveitchik, “The gezeiras giyus is a gezeiras shmad (the draft decree is a decree of annihilation). Why are you silent? The Brisker Rov was not silent. He would not deliver shiurim at a time like this. Just this week, 150 bochurim have fallen into Nachal Chareidi.”
The kanna’i went on: “What are you waiting for? For the yeshiva to be filled with green jackets (worn by soldiers)?”
An uproar ensued, and members of the yeshiva protested the kanna’i for his contempt for the honor of Torah and denigrating the rosh yeshiva.
