First came the tragedy, then a search for who to blame.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Days after a\u00a0deadly stampede\u00a0resulted in the deaths of 45 people at a religious festival in northern Israel, many are now asking who is at fault.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel’s government watchdog has said it would open an investigation into the\u00a0stampede at a Jewish religious festival\u00a0on Mount Meron, in which the victims were mainly ultra-Orthodox men and children. Yet some, including activists from inside the ultra-Orthodox community, are calling for the\u00a0ultra-Orthodox to look\u00a0at their own role in the tragedy as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a call for rethinking what is it that we didn\u2019t do right,\u201d said Yehoshua Pfeffer, the founding editor of the Tzarich Iyun Journal and an ultra-Orthodox rabbi in Jerusalem. \u201cIt\u2019s not about the leadership, it\u2019s about us as a community, as a society, because it\u2019s the underlying opinions, the prevailing mindset of the society that is going to be reflected by the leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the stampede, Israeli politicians and the media have questioned whether the government and police were\u00a0unwilling to place limits\u00a0on the number of people at the festival to avoid angering ultra-Orthodox leaders. Some have pointed fingers at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government, whose political survival is dependent on ultra-Orthodox political parties, for enabling the community to evade state regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA functioning government could have prevented the terrible disaster on Mount Meron. Everyone knew,\u201d wrote opposition politician Yair Lapid of the Yesh Atid party, who also called for a state inquiry into the stampede, on Twitter on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultra-Orthodox parties make up a\u00a0crucial voting block\u00a0in the Knesset, Israel\u2019s Parliament, and were part of Netanyahu\u2019s narrow coalition government until the\u00a0election this past March. Though he himself is not ultra-Orthodox, he relies on the support of these parties to remain in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netanyahu\u2019s mandate to form a government expires at midnight Tuesday, but it still remains unclear whether opposition parties could form a government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their pivotal position in the government,\u00a0ultra-Orthodox communities\u00a0remain separate and removed from mainstream Israeli society. Neighborhoods are often segregated,\u00a0most don\u2019t serve\u00a0in the Israel Defense Forces, and many men dedicate their day to learning scripture rather than paid work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This separation, and the vast sums the ultra-Orthodox communities receive in state aid, has caused high levels of resentment in mainstream Israeli society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s will <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The stampede comes after faith in ultra-Orthodox leaders had already been eroded by\u00a0the pandemic. According to an IDI survey of ultra-Orthodox men between the ages of 18 and 30, nearly 40 percent said that their trust in ultra-Orthodox parties had been \u201charmed\u201d or \u201charmed to a great extent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That deterioration of trust and demands from the street led ultra-Orthodox politicians to up their advocacy for positions supported by their communities, like fewer coronavirus restrictions, according to Malach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fact is that politicians aren\u2019t really seen as leaders,\u201d said Pfeffer. \u201cUltimately they are attuned to voice on the Haredi street. Why is it that the Haredi politicians were so intent that the road to Meron would be wide open and everyone would be able to go? The reason they were so intent on this is that they knew that\u2019s what their constituency actually expects from them.\u201dStill, over the last five days, the focus of many\u00a0ultra-Orthodox\u00a0has been directed firmly on the victims and their families as burials took place. Rabbis and spiritual leaders have emphasized the need for prayer and acceptance that this was God\u2019s will, for better or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople are overwhelmed and depressed, everyone knows someone, and even if they don\u2019t know someone who died, they know someone who was wounded,\u201d said Pnina Pfeuffer, CEO of New Haredim, an umbrella organization for ultra-Orthodox activists who want to see change in the community. \u201cSo many people were affected and traumatized.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six U.S. citizens and two legal permanent residents were among the victims. Every year on the holiday of Lag BaOmer, tens of thousands of people \u2014 most of them ultra-Orthodox Jews \u2014 throng to Mount Meron to mark the anniversary of the death of an ancient Jewish rabbi and to light bonfires as part of the celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday night\u2019s event was the first mass religious gathering to be held legally since Israel lifted nearly all\u00a0restrictions related to the coronavirus\u00a0pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, the ultra-Orthodox, known in Israel as Haredim, made up around 12.6 percent of the total population and that proportion is set to reach 16 percent of the population by 2030, according to the Israel Democracy Institute think tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet despite the size and political power of the ultra-Orthodox, the community still sees itself as separate from the state of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a great suspicion of the state government,\u201d said Gilad Malach, director of the ultra-Orthodox in Israel program at the IDI. \u201cThe community looks to the government as a foreign body and not as our government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman said Monday that he would investigate the actions of all groups leading up to and during the festival as well as the area\u2019s upkeep over the years and whether previous failings had been dealt with. He said he would also aim to come up with a strategy for handling large-scale religious events to “prevent a repeat of this kind of tragedy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though there are voices, like Pfeffer and Pfeuffer, who are encouraging the ultra-Orthodox to separate themselves less from Israeli society, they are on the margins, according to Malach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are more people who feel like this than if you compare to 10 years ago and there is a chance that the phenomenon of being modern ultra-Orthodox will grow and bring change in society. But it\u2019s still the first steps,\u201d said Malach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the more modern ultra-Orthodox who are willing to speak out, this particular moment \u2014 after the high number of coronavirus deaths among the group, the criticism it came under for not adhering to regulations, and the Meron disaster \u2014 is precisely the time for the community to look its place in wider society, said Pfeffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce Haredi society becomes so big numerically, and so influential on a political, social and economic level then the \u2018them and us\u2019 mentality needs to fall away and be replaced by an \u2018us and us\u2019 mentality,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are too enmeshed and integrated, whether we like it or not, into Israeli society for a \u2018them and us\u2019 mentality to be effective.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
