The Kiryat Gat.net website reports that the Yad Lachaim and Chabad youth association is trying to prevent the performance of "Messiah" at the cultural hall in the city. All the details
Article from the website: This coming Sunday, the Kibbutz Chamber Orchestra, the Upper Galilee Choir and four soloists are scheduled to perform the oratorio "Messiah" at the Culture Hall in Kiryat Gat.
The famous work describing the life and death of that man aroused the wrath of the religious circles in the city. Chabad Youth Chairman Shlomo Botbul appealed to the Yad Lachaim association, which deals with the war against everything that mentions Christianity and missions, and to the Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Kiryat Gat, Rabbi Moshe Havlin, demanding that they join forces and prevent the performance of the work, which is so closely associated with the Christian world, in the synagogue in Kiryat Gat.
It is understandable what provoked the anger of the Yad Lachaim and Chabad youth association, who believe that glorifying the name of that man and even masterpieces could lead to assimilation.
The chairman of the Yad Lachaim association, Rabbi Dov Lifshitz, said that the information was brought to his attention on Monday of this week, and despite the brief warning, he intends to contact every influential party in the municipality and press the municipality in an attempt to stop the putting of "Messiah" on a stage in Kiryat Gat.
Chabad Youth Chairman Shlomo Botbol tried to talk about the heart of the music director of the kibbutz chamber orchestra and with the director of culture at the cultural hall in the city, but according to him the two claimed that it was a musical work that should not be associated with any religious motives.
Botbol claims that only we do not see the religious connection, it is a fact that throughout the Christian world, on Christmas Eve, "Messiah" is raised, and what about us Jews who rise to glorify and glorify that man in our halls in front of our young people and children.
