Avi Mimran, a presenter on Kol Chai radio, was interviewed today (Thursday) on Ben Caspit Winon Magal’s program on 103FM and addressed the storm of imitation of Rabbi Kanievsky in a wonderful country. “A wonderful country gives a self-goal to our tradition. All the ultra-Orthodox who see this imitation see how they laugh at their grandfather.” He further said that he estimates that this imitation will only provoke more anger in the ultra-Orthodox public, and will add seats to the ultra-Orthodox parties in the upcoming elections. In light of Mimran’s remarks, Ben Caspit did not remain indifferent and replied, “You are distributing Pike News, shame and disgrace.”
Yinon: How are you?
“Not easy days, not good, but praying, coping.”

Yinon: Have you seen a wonderful country?
“I did not boycott because I do not have a TV and I do not see this thing, I am not there. If I see it for my work as a current affairs presenter.”
Yinon: What do you think about the imitation?
“I do not know how funny this thing is and how much it is called satire but let it be for health. I do not represent all the ultra-Orthodox because everyone has different opinions. Bnei Gantz speaks of 50 percent of the army, we have much more than 50 percent of Jews whose grandfather He’s Rabbi Kanievsky or he would have looked like him or walked like him, so who are they laughing at? About my grandfather? Yours? About the great concept? About this Jewish and holy concept? So he does not hear well, so the grandson speaks close to his ear, it’s funny? Who talks to his father or his grandfather close to his ear so he can hear what he is saying? “

Ben: I do not understand, you do not know what satire is? Take and officers; Inon, why did you all shout at the imitation of Abramovich that he is an Israeli hero?
“The debate is not about whether it is satire or not. My debate begins before that – we are on a path of conflict that we give our own goal to our tradition. “Books are still read, but there is a 60-50 percent traditional audience whose character is the rabbi, our rabbi is a holy of holies, he dedicates his life to studying Torah in poverty, simply. A wonderful country and Rabbi Kanievsky are exactly the two ends.”
Ben: It’s irrelevant. Rabbi Kanievsky in Israel does not own 60 percent. Great country rating bomb and the public is voting with their feet. You do not understand the term satire.
“But I’m not arguing about the term satire.”
Ben: The imitation was not dramatic.
“I want an imitator who will make Judge Aharon Barak.”
Ben: He’s not been in our public for many years.
“A great country will bring Shas 2 more seats because when people are hurt by their grandfather they vote with their feet, when they hurt tradition they vote with their feet, Rabbi Kanievsky does miracles, I am a man with his feet on the ground.”
Ben: So you would be outraged at the breaches of the closure in the sector.
“Too bad you do not listen to me, listen to what I say. We do not care what happens in a wonderful country, we are in another world, I am interested in the Jewish people. I want my grandchildren and yours for another 100 years to know what Jews are and what a tradition is. “Otherwise, we would be in Uganda.”
Ben: Thanks to you, there is nothing here. never happened and never existed.
“You are wrong”.
Inon: What ???; Ben: The State of Israel was not established by the ultra-Orthodox.
“We are not entering into a historical debate.”
Ben: If you said that thanks to you there is everything here, we will enter into a historical discussion because I will not accept this statement. Herzl was an atheist, the original Zionism that established modern Israel is atheist, liberal Zionism, and the ultra-Orthodox participated in the small. Thanks to them, everything is here? gall.
“Rabbi Shach said that if we are forced to close the yeshivas and gemara and go to be secular, integrate, soldier, we will go abroad. We have no interest in this specific area.”
Ben: What proof? Has anyone thought of closing something for you?
“No, and that’s why I live here. A wonderful country does not move us, that people will need wheelchairs they will come to us, that they will need Rabbi Firer, food baskets, friends on the road, Ezer Mitzion they will call us haredim to ask for help and we will be for them with all the satire. Keep mocking us, we will continue to defend. “
Ben: We will continue to be killed en masse on the battlefields and protect you with our bodies, pay you the allowances, fund the meetings, a whole generation of people who do not work and do not serve. We are going to work, study Libya and go to support ourselves.
“I will continue to pay taxes and work hard, 54 percent of ultra-Orthodox men work, 78 percent of ultra-Orthodox women work. You say wrong facts, most of the ultra-Orthodox sector works.”
Ben: I will not let you spread Pike, the Governor of the Bank of Israel said in his latest review that over 80 percent of secular men work.
“Do Google. I believe my grandson knew what Yom Kippur is in a thousand years and what Torah is thanks to the 20 percent who give their lives to study Torah.”
Ben: Shame on you, shame and disgrace.
