“direct partisan politics”

where do you draw that vague distinction?

Realize that statements like your were the genesis of reform and seculaism

#4. That’s nonsense. They are unlike the Chareidi parties where the Rabbonim are very political, make political statements and threats.

Rabbonim should give Halachic guidance and stay out of direct partisan politics that has nothing to do with Torah related issues. It only diminishes them and harms people’s view of the Torah.

#1, you probably misread the article. It matches the headline perfectly. The point is that the Dati Leumi shita is that Daas Torah is not binding and the Rabbonim agree with that. Therefore the Dati Leumi rabbonim endorse the party. (I guess it kind of is a wrong headline since at the end of the day they do listen to their Rabbonim by not listening to them).

and those Rabbanim told them to support legislation to round up thousands of hareidim and put them in prisons, and close down the hareidi yeshivos????????

and those Rabbanim, who are almost all fanatic supporters of keeping the West Bank under Israeli control, told Bennett to make concessions on national security and territorial issues in order to further the “war on the hareidim”??????

Could YWN give us the list of rabbis supporting Bayit Yehudi?

Losing Rav Aviner to Yachad is a big loss.

Are you distorters or just can’t read or comprehend well? I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter. What is written in the article and what the headline says are not the same thing. In fact they are opposites.
