And yet they’re cutting the amount of money they give to yeshivos and they’re trying so hard to get yeshiva bochurim into the army.

The social & economical ELITE are reducing in numbers yearly especially as they join their CEOs in CALIFORNIA & Florida.

Majority of ISRAELI JEWS appreciate & admire Torah, Yiddishkeit and mesorah on their levels..

“Committee member MK (Bayit Yehudi) Moti Yogev, a colonel in the reserves, commented the very fact that the discussion is taking place is incorrect and the session should not be held. “Yiddishkheit is not the enemy of the IDF or the State of Israel” he commented, adding “It is an integral part of our roots here. This represents an effort to uproot Am Yisrael from its roots”.

I agree with his statement. However, what he and others can’t get through their heads is just how deeply seniors in the IDF and Israeli government disagree with him. This is a fundamental argument between the views of religious Zionist and religious anti-Zionist. We realize how deeply those in power hate Yiddishkeit, while religious Zionist refuse to believe this.

I think today’s meeting speaks for itself.

““Yiddishkheit is not the enemy of the IDF or the State of Israel”

Most Israelis think it is. Especially among the social and economic elites who run the country. According to polls conducted by zionist Israelis, most Israelis regard the Hareidim as a greater threat than the Arabs.

So misguided!
Instead of being thankful for the injection of emunah into the forces, they r gripped in fear.

Now let’s think this through. They were insisting more chareidim join. They assured them they will be able to remain frum. Now they complain too many are their practicing the requirements of the Shulchan Aruch.

Could it be they were only interested in the chareidim joining if the IDF could significantly decrease the soldier’s commitment to HaShem’s service and our heritage? Not likely, I suppose.
