Kinar Hotel officials in Tiveria admit their error was a major one, promising to exercise better judgment in the future. They are referring to an event which was hosted in the hotel last week, on Monday night, when tens of buses carrying Christian participants in a conference arrived at the hotel. A number of chareidi guests in the hotel decided to see for themselves what exactly so many Christians were doing in the hotel and to their shock and dismay, they witnessed a Christian missionary event hosted on the hotel grounds. There was even talk of baptizing Jews who took part in the event which was held on a private beach of the hotel.
When approached by the frum guests, hotel officials stated they are not aware of the content of the program. According to the guests who made Yad L�Achim aware of the event, the hotel officials attempted to play down what was taking place, scoffing at the guests� concerns.
It should be pointed out for those unfamiliar that the hotel is a popular site for the Shomer Shabbos community.
The story made its way to Kol Chai Radio, and the program hosted by Mordechai Lavi hosted one of the chareidi guests, as well as hotel general-manage Achikam Ramot, who tried to once again play down the severity of the event.
HaGaon HaRav Sholom Lifshitz, who heads Yad L�Achim, was next on the program, and he detailed the seriousness of what occurred in the Kinar that night.
Acting on the radio host�s advice, Ramot apologized to the chareidi public on the air. He stated the hotel was not aware of the agenda of the large group. He also agreed to remain in touch with Rav Lifshitz and to become more aware of the warning signs and missionary activities in the northern area.
