Discussion of petitions against the government regarding the recruitment of ultra-orthodox yeshiva students/Roni Knafo
Rabbi Avraham Salim, a member of the Shas Torah Sage Council, signed a letter in recent days in which he warned parents that their children would dress up as policemen and soldiers "in order to distinguish them from their ranks" and to "educate and instill in children that only the Holy Torah protects and saves the people of Israel". In the background of the turmoil of the conscription law designed to exempt yeshiva students from conscripting into the IDF.
The letter was first published six years ago along with the signatures of dozens of ultra-Orthodox rabbis - now Rabbi Meshas has added his signature. The
original letter reads: "Unfortunately and to our dismay, the heads of government are constantly trying with temptations and threats to incite and depose the young men of Israel to leave the path of the holy Torah and go and enlist in the army or for national and civil service, which were strictly prohibited by all the great men of Israel, and therefore certainly a sacred duty rests on the parents and educators to instill in the hearts of the pure children from their infancy the right view to stay away as far as the arrows of a bow from all those forbidden places in the light of "Enoch to a boy according to his way even because Yazkin did not It will be removed from her."

Rabbi Avraham Salim, a member of the Shas Council of Torah Sages, signed a letter against soldiers' costumes on Purim / Walla! system, without
They also added in the letter: "Now that we are approaching the next Purim, it is a good idea for the children of Israel to dress up, and certainly the costume has a great effect on the children's psyche and their aspirations in life, and to teach them to stay away from ugliness and the like. Certainly the children should be warned not to dress up as policemen and soldiers and the like This is to distinguish them from their multitude. Rather, they should be encouraged to disguise themselves as wise and righteous so that they aspire to be as great as they are in Torah and God-fearing in holiness and purity."
In the updated version that was added this year to the letter, four more rabbis, including Rabbi Salim and Rabbi Masoud Ben Shimon, rabbis of the city of Bnei Brak, call on "parents and educators to refrain from looking for the children for policemen and soldiers", in their own words.
They add that "especially at this time, it is necessary to educate and instill in children and students that only the Holy Torah protects and saves the people of Israel."
Recently, Shas added Rabbi Salim to the movement's Council of Torah Sages, even though for years he was associated with "Maravitzi", a Sephardic-Lithuanian sub-stream that remains politically and ideologically loyal to Lithuanian Ashkenazi Orthodoxy. His addition to the Torah Sages Council Deri believed that he would defuse one of the mines which were a headache for him in the ultra-Orthodox community.
