Very Un-Rabbinical

This is so NOT Rav Knievsky

The Rav in recent years does not give lengthy replies, using such language

We should be very very concerned about what is happening

Something seems fishy here

The disrespect in not using Rabbi with his name, and the obviously scripted supposed conversation is so un-rabbinical. 

The control of the tyrannical Health Ministry and those behind them over all life in Eretz Yisrael is becoming magnified for all to see

They threaten and bribe Rabbis and others, creating an atmosphere of collusion and fear.

If anyone speaks up they are ’scandalised’ to put it mildly

Top ultra-Orthodox rabbi: Unvaccinated teachers should not come to work

Rabbi Haim Kanievsky says teachers have an obligation to get vaccinated and should be suspended from work if they don’t do so. Rabbi Haim Kanievsky, the leading Ashkenazi non-hassidic ultra-Orthodox rabbi, has told school principals in the sector that if school teachers are not vaccinated against COVID-19 they should not teach. 


Kanievsky’s comments were made amid an increasing rate of coronavirus infection in the ultra-Orthodox community resulting largely from the reopening of haredi educational institutions at the start of the Jewish month of Elul on August 8. 


The rabbi made his remarks in a meeting with coronavirus commissioner Dr. Salman Zarka on Tuesday. He and other leading ultra-Orthodox rabbis have repeatedly called onr the haredi public to get the vaccine and booster shot. 


Zarka raised the issue of unvaccinated teachers in the haredi sector, drawing particular attention to institutions for children below age 12 who cannot be vaccinated, and are therefore likely to infect unvaccinated children. 


According to a statement from the Health Ministry, Kanievsky said that it was "forbidden" for teachers to go to work unvaccinated and that men and women involved in education had an obligation to get the vaccine. 


The rabbi added that principals should suspend any unvaccinated staff.  


Kanievsky added that the general public should make every effort to protect themselves from COVID-19, including adhering to Health Ministry regulations, and urged people to get the vaccine because it will prevent the cancellation of Torah studies and prevent illness.


According to the Health Ministry, Zarka called on adults to get the third shot of the vaccine and also asked for Kanievsky’s blessing for the success of the current vaccination campaign at educational institutions.

Yhat's what makes the most sense. And the Rabbbi had already expressed his opinion that they should NOT be vaccinated. Isn't it strange that all of a sudden, there's a turn around. Gedolei Hador do not react that way. His askanim and the phony rabbis are lying to him and since he does not come out in public and deal with the public, they can say what they want. Otherwise, it makes no sense and doubt very much the Rav would say adamantly about a subject he knows little about that teacher must be jabbed.
When oh when, will H' intervene In the meantime, every normal Jew in EY must unite; with unity there is victory!
