Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday morning held a fateful hearing regarding the petitions filed by left-wing organizations demanding that all funding to yeshivos be permanently halted and that the IDF immediately begin drafting Chareidim.
The petitions are being deliberated by an expanded panel of nine judges headed by acting Supreme Court President Uzi Vogelman.
After the Chareidi draft law expired, the Supreme Court issued an interim order halting funding to yeshivos for bochurim ages 18-26. Sunday’s hearing will determine whether to continue the ban on funding yeshivos and whether draft notices will sent to tens of thousands of bochurim and avreichim.
Last week, Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara filed her position on the matter, saying that the security establishment must immediately begin drafting Chareidim.
The government is using private representation since the attorney-general, who was hired to represent the government, is doing the opposite.

While we continue to worry for over a hundred of unaccounted hostages, mourn dozens of them and, thousands of soldiers risking their lives in Gaza, another Lebanon war likely to start soon, tens of thousands of citizens displaced from their homes in north and south, they have no other business to worry than to disrupt the learning of our bochrim and avreichim, who are the ONLY z’chus protecting the country from any major disaster to which the IDF has been proven to be powerless!
