A poster against Rabbi Shlomo Goren in the 'the brother and sister' affair: "A man who in the name of a rabbi shall be called ... All the instructions of this man are Canceled , and we must not rely on them at all"
A poster distributed in response to a ruling by the rabbinical court headed by Rabbi Shlomo Goren in the affair known as the "brother and sister affair," after he ruled that the brothers Hanoch and Miriam Langer were permitted to appear in the audience. [1972]
The ruling came out after being discussed in a clandestine panel of nine anonymous rabbis about the question that arose following the question of the divorce of the mother's first husband.
The affair shook the Israeli public and caused Rabbi Goren great anger among the ultra-Orthodox public and deepened the rift between the haredi public and the Chief Rabbinate in Israel in an unprecedented manner.
The proclamation before us was distributed in the cities after the Council of Torah Sages, headed by Rabbi Moshe Hevroni, convened in an expanded panel that included Rabbi Elyashiv and other rabbis for the first time, and issued a call to proclaim: "We are profoundly shocked by the terrible act that one who, in the name of a well-known rabbi, In the Torah of Moses to allow disqualified people in the ways of deceiving the expropriation of the Jew who is presumed to be a ger and his inferiority to a gentile ... Therefore we declare that all the instructions of this man are Canceled and not to be relied upon at all ... "
In a similar public announcement, Rabbi Goren was compared to a Reform rabbi, and as a public response to the ruling there was a "huge protest stand" in Bnei Brak headed by Rabbi Shach, Rabbi Shmuel Wassner, the Admor of Mikhnavka, and other rabbis, in which he spoke harshly against Rabbi Goren and the Chief Rabbinate in general. In the wake of the ruling, Rabbi Elyashiv resigned from the Rabbinical Court, and in fact the affair did not subsist until the death of Rabbi Goren in 1994.
