Gafni: "Without Torah scholars we have no right to exist in this country"/no credit
The Rebbe of Gor, Rabbi Ya'akov Aryeh Alter, said this week that "without legal status for yeshiva students - we should retire from the government," according to information received today (Thursday) by Walla! The High Court of Justice issued this evening can conclude that there is a period of two months until a final decision is made on the status of yeshiva members, and during this period it will be possible to try to regulate the issue of the exemption from conscription in legislation.
The Rebbe Magor is the spiritual patron of the Minister of Housing and Chairman of Torah Judaism Yitzhak Goldknopf. The Rebbe is one of the most influential and dominant figures in the ultra-Orthodox leadership and is the head of one of the largest and most powerful Hasids in Israel. He is also considered a decisive factor in Agudath Israel's Council of Torah Elders and his influence cuts across parties in the ultra-Orthodox sector, and among other things Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri frequently consults with him on public issues and be blessed by him.

Shas chairman Aryeh Deri also said that this is an injury to Torah scholars, and that his party will consider its steps. "The interim order given by the High Court of Justice for the immediate denial of the Yeshiva budgets is a sign of condemnation and an unprecedented indignation of the Torah scholars in the Jewish state," he said. Shas will continue to fight for the right of yeshiva students to study the Torah and will examine its steps."
Torah Judaism chairman Rabbi Yitzhak Goldknopf criticized the judges, saying that the party will fight for the right of Jews to study Torah. "The decree issued by the judges of the High Court of Justice, whose purpose is to seriously harm the practices of the Torah and its teachings, here in the Land of Israel - the state of the Jewish people, is a sign of disgrace and contempt," said the Minister of Construction and Housing. May she be able to. Without the Torah, we have no right to exist. We will fight in every way for the right of every Jew to learn Torah and we will not compromise on that.
