Rabbi Hirsch Calls for Preventing the Left’s Rise

Rabbi Hirsch, a leader of Degel HaTorah and the Lithuanian Haredi community, called on Sunday evening for preventing the political left from growing stronger. Speaking in the sukkah of Degel HaTorah Knesset candidate Yehuda Weissfish, he said a lack of siyata dishmaya, or help from Heaven, was connected to the left and urged doing as much as possible to prevent its rise. United Torah Judaism chairman Ya'akov Asher and MK Yitzhak Pindrus were present.
