The Haaretz on Charedim? Come on... Do you also believe that Mercaz Harav (the rabbis, no less) is planning a revenge attack, as was published in the media here.... Living in Yerushalaim, I can bear witness that everyone is in mourning, everyone is struggling with the same questions, everyone is wondering how we will really do Purim. Adar just isn't really happening here, not (even?) in the charedi neighborhoods. Please let's not make up machlokes where it doesn't exist. We need all the merits we can get.
