Attorney Yair Nehorai appears incessant in his desire to shut down the Bnei David Mechina Yeshiva located in Yishuv Eli in Shomron. His previous efforts to accomplish this, on Facebook and social media, have failed.

However, it appears he remains undeterred by past failures and determined in his mission to close the flagship mechina yeshiva in Israel, the first mechina in Israel, despite the fact it has produced some of the finest soldiers and officers who served and continue serving in the IDF today.

Nehorai continues to advertise excerpts from shiurim from the mechina, taking sentences out of context, taking excerpts from limud concepts and leading the public to believe the yeshiva advocates things that are not practiced today, painting the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Eli Sadan as a messianic madman, when in fact, he is a moderate Eretz Yisrael-loving talmid chacham who holds the state and the IDF in the highest regard. Rav Sadan and the other rabbonim in Bnei David simply do not agree with the ultra-libertarian left-wing policies that Nehorai subscribes to. Nehorai seeks to instill fear in his followers, that Rav Sadan and others affiliated with Bnei David, are trying to overrun the IDF with messianic officers who will follow his every command.

Nehorai stands at the helm of the Secular Front, telling his followers that Rav Sadan is sticking a knife in the backs of the nation. Those who are familiar with Rav Sadan can testify he is the last person capable of such an act due to his beliefs regarding achdus and living side-by-side, religious and secular alike.

He takes excerpts from shiurim during which Rav Sadan speaks of the pain, that so many of Bnei Yisrael do not believe in Shabbos and Yomtov, stating “this is a knife in the back of the nation as most do not” keep mitzvos.

There are many such examples and Nehorai remains determined to convince the decision-makers that Bnei David must be shut down, for good.
