Religious Zionist MK Simcha Rothman, the chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, sent a letter on Wednesday to Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara slamming her for withholding funding from Chareidi hesder yeshivos, Kikar H’Shabbat reported.
In the letter, Rothman wrote that the purpose of the Chareidi hesder yeshivos is “to integrate Chareidi youth into meaningful military service alongside maintaining a Torah way of life, and was established in full cooperation with the Ministry of Defense.”
“It is inconceivable that precisely the entities that work on a daily basis for the benefit of recruiting Chareidim to the IDF, in cooperation with the state and for the benefit of a clear national effort, receive a cold shoulder.”
Rothman slammed Baharav-Miara for her usual tactic of deeming anything she doesn’t agree with as “illegal.”
“The Attorney General chooses to place obstacles and prevent funding, based on arguments that do not hold water,” he wrote.
“You are causing damage of hundreds of thousands of shekels to institutions, putting new branches at risk of closure, and directly harming the advancement of Chareidi service in the IDF, all while you outwardly talk about the importance of recruitment and compliance with court rulings on the matter.”

this proves it is NOT about “sharing the burden” or them needing more soldiers, no its only goal is to fight the Torah and the shmad of the Zionists, a leopard doesnt change its color, the Zionists goals of eradicating Torah has not changed.
This disgusting rasha pig needs to be burned alive and thrown off a bridge. I’m sure that Arabs are all getting their funds on time and they don’t do anything besides terrorize us. Make sure they get College tuition make sure they have child care you stupid witch
This does not make sense – what is the reason given for the withholding of funds from these Yeshivos? If they are qualified Hesder Yeshivos, there is no reason for withholding funding from them.
an Israeli Yid
have you all forgotten??? this is not about the Yeshivos or the army but…. to bring down Natanyahu and his governent!!
anIsraeliYid – Nu, do you still think that Rothman is being ‘deliberately obtuse’, and that this is really about what is good for the Army?
I agree with Mordechai, this isn’t even about the Chareidim altogether, this is left wing lawfare gone insane. The good news is that, at least on paper, Israel is still a democracy, and the Left is far from having a majority, Baruch Hashem. However, the AG and Supreme Court are fine with preventing the country from functioning, no matter what the consequences, until they get what they want. In the long run, the more odious the Leftist elites become in the eyes of עמך בית ישראל, the better it is for everyone ברוחניות ובגשמיות. They can’t keep this up forever.
