Rav Meir Mazuz, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Kisei Rachamim, expressed his approval regarding the cancellation of the “Pride Parade” in Tel Aviv and called for other cities to do the same.
Earlier this month, Tel Aviv decided to cancel its parade, with Mayor Ron Huldai stating, “now is not the time for celebrations.”
Rav Mazuz elaborated, “When those who return to Judaism begin observing the Shabbos, they begin to respect the Torah, they begin to treat the Torah as something. Here, all these years, they have held a Pride Parade. The ‘Pride Parade’ is a parade of repulsiveness. People are not ashamed to make such a parade – do you have nothing else to do?”
He further commented, “And now, this year, the mayor of Tel Aviv said, ‘This year there will be no Pride Parade.’ And may it be no longer. There should be no more of this Pride Parade! Because this parade is all about abominations, it is all about repulsiveness, it is all filth, it is all stupidity, it is all ignorance, it is all foolishness. There is no person in the world who has a brain who would do such an act.”
Rav Mazuz pointed out that Arabs do not hold such parades: “There is no comparison, but the Arabs do not do this. Because they – they are influenced by Mohammed, who was influenced by the Torah. We need to do [that].”
