To state that the Isreali Government is “reponsible for the Torah Learning in Isreal today is patently ridiculous to anyone with a modicum of Knowledge of Isreali history.
Anyone who knows anything about Isreali history is aware that the Zionist Government acted with “mesiras nefesh” to do all in their power to uproot any form of Torah from Judaisim whenever they had a chance.
Ever heard what happened in the Mabbarot?
It is only because Gedolei Yisroel stood in the breach and fought with all their might to establis Yeshivos throughout the land that Torah flourishes in Isreal today.
If however you wish to state that the IGovernment has some zchs in the Torah Learning today. On that most of the Gedolim will agree with you wholeheartdly.
However the meforshim state that if the Umos HaOlam would only have realized the tremendous benefits they recieved from the Korbonos brought on their behalf in the Beis Hamikdosh on Succos they would never have destoyed it, rather they would have run to support it.
Lets hope the Isreali government, which currently faces existential threats that have nothing to do with “manpower”, realizes that now if anything is the time to urge for Teshuva and not destroy the zchusim they have.
