Maran Rav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita is quoted by HaShavua as stating, "We are heading to a difficult year.?� His comments were taken from a Yated Neeman, keeping with what has become an annual event, an Elul media interview.
�
"The Yishuv Yehudi? is in danger, explained the Rav. "We are dealing with the Palestinians but the real threat comes from Iran. The existential threat to Israel comes from there.? (The Rav has mentioned the Iranian threat in the past as well).
�
The Rav also mentioned concerns regarding the coming year vis-�-vis Chinuch Atzmai and the upcoming elections for the Chief Rabbinate Religious Council.
�
He stressed concerns regarding the future of Yerushalayim. One of the people present understood Rav Elyashiv was making reference to the upcoming municipal elections and the candidacy of Meir Porush. He asked, "We have an agreement. What can be done??
�
The Rav responded, "What is an agreement? Are you familiar with it? An agreement is made between two sides, or at the very least, one side. It is intended to be beneficial. Here, both sides lose. We need a candidate who can win, and then there is significance to an agreement.?
�
Responding to the Rav, "but if everyone rallies around him he can win,? Rav Elyashiv said, "everyone who understands something realizes he will not win. It must be checked. If he will not win, then the agreement is null and void.?
�
A number of issues were raised, but the Iranian threat dominated the meeting, followed by the Rav�s concerns regarding the Jerusalem mayoral election. (Yechiel Spira � YWN Israel)
