was once at a demonstration
,
when people began throwing
rocks at cars. I was against
both the police that protected
the motorists and the people
here (in Mea Shearim) who
threw the rocks. With one
hand I shook a finger and
warned them not to drive on
the sabbath, and with the
other I shook at the ones
throwing and told them to
stop."
Why do so many observant
Jews profane the sabbath by
acting out in violent ways?
Yacubson looked down and
muttered, "It would take too
long to explain?' But he ad-
ded, "I will only say that even
now I am contacting every
bet din (religious court) in the
country, to have them rule
against throwing rocks and
trying to force people. I want
them all to sit at one table,
and I will pick three wise men
and they will sit in judgment
on all the Jewish people
regarding what can and can-
not be done on shabbat."
Until then, the Shabbos
Rebbe hopes to set his own
example, standing alone
against Jews from both sides
who profane the sabbath —
literally a voice crying in the
wilderness in the Judean
Hills at the gates of Jeru-
salem Implicit in his peaceful
scolding is a rejection of the
pious who have elevated vio-
lenced to a sabbath ritual in
the Ibrah's name. "Remember,
the path of the Torah is
peaceful," he reminds.
On one recent Saturday, as
he was waving frantically at
cars speeding by, a secular
Jew stopped at the light and
rolled down his window. "It is
forbidden to drive on the sab-
bath," the rebbe admonished.
"Are you a Jew, I think you
are. So then why do you
drive?" The secular Jew tried
to explain, and the rebbe
began pulling at his sleeve.
"Please come with me. Leave
your car here," pleaded the
rebbe. "Don't even move it.
Leave it in the middle of the
street. Come up to my house.
I will feed you coffee and
cake, and tell you stories of
wondrous things about to
come. In a few hours the sun
will set and you can go back
to your car."
The secular Jew politely
declined, even as traffic began
backing up behind him, and
placed the car in gear. In a
look of both panic and sad-
ness the rebbe again pleaded,
"Please, please, do not drive.
Leave the car in the street.
Come to my house and rest.
I will tell you of something
wondrous that is about to
happen. Please, I beg of you,
do not drive?' His last words
were barely heard as the
motorist pulled away, and the
exhaust filled the air. But in
the rearview mirror, the form
of the rebbe could clearly be
seen, a finger pointing up-
ward and waving. Unmistak-
ably, he was yelling, "Shab-
bos! Shabbos!"
It has been this way for 20
years, Yacubson peaceably
imploring sabbath motorists
to turn off their engines and
rest. How many has he per-
suaded in those twenty years?
With a broad smile, the Shab-
bos Rebbe brags, "Two!"
In one instance, a taxi
driver felt guilty, parked his
car on the side, spent some
time talking with the rebbe,
and then walked home. An-
other time the rebbe noticed
a man about to get into his
car. He raced over and
appealed to him to not turn
the key. "I finally convinced
him. He did not drive that
Shabbos."
In Mea Shearim, Rabbi
Yacubson is revered. As he
walks through the alleyways
and shortcuts of the neigh-
borhood, shielding his eyes
from the sight of women,
those around him acknow-
ledge who he is, and his mis-
sion. "He is coming," prom-
ises the Shabbos Rebbe.
"When? I cannot give dates.
I cannot give dates. But in
our lifetime!" Asked whether
he meant in his lifetime or a
young person's lifetime, he
replies with a shaking of his
head and a smile, "Both, and
even in the lifetime of a man
more than eighty years old.
Soon, I tell you, very soon:'
Standing in the alleyway
outside his room, the rebbe
adds, "And so, for 20 years I
have been in my organization
— the Network of the Right-
eous Messiah?' How many
members does the Network
have? "One!" he answers
proudly. "But more are join-
ing every day.
"Why do I yell, `Shabbos?'
Because the Meshiach is com-
ing," he explains, "and in the
heavenly court when they ask
why did no one cry out when
Jews profaned the sabbath,
one man can stand proudly
and declare 'I did. I
screamed: "

Tel Aviv — The Golan-
Globus film company has
signed an agreement with the
Soviet state-run Mosfilm to
coproduce a comedy spy-
thriller to be filmed in Israel
and the USSR.
Moscow currently has no
diplomatic relations with
Israel.
According to a Golan-
Globus spokesman, the film
will tell the story of a non-Jew
from Soviet Georgia who goes
to Israel and is arrested as a
suspected KGB agent.
