Yoelish Kroiz is the head of the Neturei Karta in Mea Shearim (Jerusalem). However, besides the Torah veYirah Synagogue, there is another center of the Neturei Karta. Not too far away and run by Israel Hirsch, the son of Moshe Hirsch.
Moshe Hirsch used to be Arafat's Minister of Jewish Affairs. Today he is suffering from Alzheimer and his son had to take over.
I found the following pictures in a haredi forum and they are actually very new. Yoelish Kroiz is celebrating the Bar Mitzwah of his son and it looks like not too many visitors showed up.
However, his son is dressed like a Toldot Aharon or Toldot Avraham Yitzchak Chassid. Is the Kroiz family a member of one of those groups or is it just the simple "Yerushalmi Dress" ?
