10451 —מחאה על גיור שלא כהלכה ופעולות לתשעה באב

B"H, 7 Menachem Av, 5732.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

To speak in the synagogue on Shabbat Nachamu (since its theme is comfort regarding matters of Tisha B'Av) about the entrance of non-Jews through conversion not according to halachah as Jews, who are a holy nation (like the Beit HaMikdash), which emphasizes remembering the matter of Tisha B'Av—the literal entrance of non-Jews into the Beit HaMikdash. Therefore, etc.

From here: from the synagogue, send a telegram: 1) To the Prime Minister that conversion must be according to halachah; 2) To those who voted in favor (each synagogue will choose whether to send to all or only some); encouragement, etc.; 3) To Rabbi Unterman—telegram, encouragement that he should continue similarly in future public actions. On Shabbat Nachamu we will discuss this further and send accordingly.

At the Western Wall—if possible—organize shifts throughout all twenty-four hours of Tisha B'Av: with Torah study and reciting Tehillim permitted on Tisha B'Av, of course. Let them rotate over several hours so as not to harm the health of those fasting.

In practice, what is good: Torah and charity according to "Zion will be redeemed with justice and her captives with charity" as discussed last year.

Summary

The Rebbe urges public protest against improper conversions and encourages strengthening Torah study and charity on Tisha B'Av, including organizing prayer shifts at the Western Wall. These actions reinforce Jewish unity and remembrance of the Beit HaMikdash's sanctity.
