“In any case of doubt [about danger], one should call the emergency police 100 number [immediately] and one needn’t do so with a shinui [through using a non-normative dialing method due to Shabbat retractions],” the senior member of the vehemently anti-Zionist Edah Haredit haredi umbrella organization wrote.

Rabbi Mendel Fuchs, the top rabbi of the Nachlat Azriel synagogue and community in Ramot, Jerusalem published a notice today ordering congregants to bring cellphones with them as walk back and forth to the synagogue on Shabbat in case an emergency – like another terror attack – should take place, Yeshiva World reported.
Fuchs wrote that the phones must be carried in pants’ pockets where they cannot be seen, not shirt pockets.
He also ordered that men forbid anyone in their families from going outside alone.
