Belzer Hasidim who came recently to the village of Belz, Ukraine, were shocked to discover that acts of vandalism were done to the Tziun and the Hachnasas Orchim building and the Yeshiva in the city.
Last Wednesday fell the Yoma Dehilula of Ma"harid of Belz, and a group of Belzer chassidim headed by the son of the Rebbe HaRav HaTzaddik R' Aharon Mordechai Rokach, came to mark the Yahrtzeit at the holy site.
• Documentation: Back to the Belz shtetle, with two hundred donors
• Rebbe of Belz at his father's Tziun in Tiberias
About a decade ago a luxury hospitality structure was built in Belza which is maintained all year round for the benefit of the those who arrive at the Tziun and graves of Tzadikim in the region.
To welcome visitors to the Tziun, Harav Mordechai Klein, building manager, arrived at the scene to prepare the place for Yoma de'hillula, and to his amazement, he discovered that an act of vandalism and damage of thousands of dollars was perpetrated.
Who caused the damage?
Last week, on Friday the person in charge of the Hachnasas Orchim received a phone call. On the line were a number of young Hareidim who said they were on their way to Lizansk, but got stuck on the way. They wanted to stay over Shabbat at the hospitality, and their request was granted.
But as it turns out, the youngsters caused serious damage: into the Mikve pit towels, linens, pillows, blankets and chairs were thrown. Many showers were broken and Mechitzas were damaged.
Stickers of "Na Nach Nachman me'Uman" were pasted everywhere, including on the box of kwitlach and the candle utility in the Tziun. They also scratched the facilities with a sharp knife to make it difficult to remove the stickers.
Drink and beer bottles were smashed everywhere and huge quantities of nuts remnants were scattered.
Worst of all: the gas in the kitchen was set on and left running even after they left the area, which might have resulted in an explosion of the building and a disaster. Some of the things were documented by security cameras at the place.
Klein invited a number of local workers during the night, and they started cleaning the place and repairing the damage, for a whole day the laborers worked hard, and when the first chassidim reached the town, the place was back to normal, but there are still damages the facilities and infrastructure.
Klein says with pain to Behadrey Haredim : 'The hospitality has been working for the past decade for the benefit of those who come to the Tziun and the area. My heart still refuses to believe that Jews who came to the hospitality caused vandalism. If not for the cameras to document some of their actions, we would not have believed that these were done by Jews and not by Anti-Semites'.
The youngsters noticed that in the kitchen and the Beis Midrash and crossings there are cameras installed, and thus did not cause damage there. In the camera of the kitchen shown here in the article, you can see that they point to the camera and signal that it does not record the vandalism.
At the request of the management of the place, we publish the recording. "I would like to ask of the surfers of Behadrey Haredim," says Harav Klein," that any of them who identifies the youngsters will turn to me so I could find the youngsters and make them aware of the severity of their actions. "
