Charedi educators are calling upon the public at large to beware a pamphlet, full of apostasy and heresy, called "Daat Emet," placed by an anonymous source into mailboxes and synagogues in Charedi neighborhoods of Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, and other locations throughout the country.

The pamphlet does not list the name behind the distribution, nor is there a phone number to clarify who wrote it; there is just a post office box number in Jerusalem. The pamphlet is designed to fool the innocent and is full of the worst, most poisonous sort of apostasy. It features distorted quotes from Torah sources and Chazal meant to make a mockery of the holy.

Important Charedi educators who have gotten hold of the poisonous heretical pamphlet yesterday requested that the general public, particularly parents and teens, be warned against reading them and certainly against writing to the post office box listed on the final page. "Many serious problems were caused in the past by seemingly innocent publications of this sort and correspondence with organizations which hide behind the smokescreen of a post office box," educators stated.

The educators added that "this pamphlet, with its innocent looking design and poisonous contents, is reminiscent of activities by secular organizations whose goal it is to remove the youth from the paths of their fathers. One should quickly destroy these disgusting pamphlets as soon as they are received."
