On Sunday evening, Yisrael Porush, a son of Meir Porush who recently lost in his Jerusalem mayoral bid, received a phone call on his cellular telephone, with the caller asking his whereabouts.
Sruli, who was elected as a deputy mayor in Elad, had just completed moving from Yerushalayim to Elad, the Chadrei Chadarim report explains. He told the caller that he is in Yerushalayim, on Yirmiyahu Street, near number 60. Shortly thereafter, a number of people in chassidish garb appeared on the scene and shouted epithets which are not usually heard from frum yidden. They threatened him and began hitting him. They fled the scene and according to the victim; he was in considerable pain after sustaining a number of blows to the back.
Following attacks against Rav Yaakov Litzman last week and then again on Shabbos in Meah Shearim, this is another case of post election violence which does not seem to have ended despite calls from admorim and rabbonim to refrain from violence. Unfortunately the situation is likely to flare up as the frum community prepares for the Feb. 10th general election.
