The mailboxes of thousands of residents of Bnei Brak, Jerusalem, and additional charedi centers in the country were flooded last week with a repeated wave of extremely deceitful and shocking writings against the holy Chazal and our rabbis the Rishonim who are as angels, may their memories be blessed, to whose light and the light of the truth of whose holy words the people of Israel stride, and from them who will not flinch for ever and ever.
We are speaking of an apostatical leaflet, most low and false, which bears the pretentious title of "True Knowledge," and pretends to present scientific research about the steadfast determinations by our rabbis OBM, the Tanaaim, the Amorim, the Rishonim and Achronim, the shepherds of the Jews, may their merits protect us, in all matters connected to knowledge of nature, etc.
The repulsive words of deceit and apostasy which appear in that leaflet are hair-raising and nauseating; the anonymous apostate who stands behind them tries to present himself as a scholar who knows well the ways of Torah and tries, in this way, to draw naive readers into debate with him. In place of a signature on this anonymous leaflet there appears the number of a post office box in Tel Aviv, where the readers are invited to react to the words and are promised a reply.
The letters arrive in the mail, in closed envelopes with no stamps; on the front of the envelopes, in the upper right-hand corner, is printed a box, within which is written: "Zickron Yaakov" (in Hebrew and in Roman letters) "Paid, P.P. 6932." The envelopes are addressed with names and addresses (which were taken, it seems, from the charedi area telephone books) which are printed on labels.
According to the instructions of Torah greats, one should destroy the letters still sealed in their envelopes and refrain from opening them, much less from reading them.
