HaGaon HaRav Dov Landua spoke words of hesped at Ponevezh Yeshivah on Thursday night on the yartzheit of Rosh HaYeshivah HaGaon HaRav Gershon Edelstein z’tl.
After the hesped, HaRav Landau spoke about the draft law hanging over the heads of the Chareidi sector.
“At this opportunity, I’m turning to all those who are considering legislating a bill that bnei yeshivos will be drafted. You should know – bnei yeshivos won’t be drafted – under any circumstances.”
“The recruitment of bnei yeshivos – for us and for you also – even if you don’t understand it – for all the Jews in Eretz Yisrael – is a huge and terrible disaster – Hashem should protect us. And it’s not necessary to elaborate.”
It should be noted that Harav Landau has repeatedly warned about the threat of war with Hezbollah in the north.

The zionists are fools.
The Rav has his view – and there are many other Rabbanim, generally ignored at best and denigrated at worst by the Chareidi community, but who are also major Talmidei Chachamim, who strongly disagree. He will change no minds.

they are not fools, they are ignorant.
ujm, if the zionists are fools, what are those who recommended staying in Europe in the 1930’s? Rav Kook ztl, the greatest student of Volozhin, was a zionist. The Rav ztl and Rav Herzog ztl were zionsts!!
Beg them for forgiveness before RH/YK.
The warning signs have already started ר”ל – but no one is as blind as the one who does not WANT to see!
on the Yahrzeit Clearly Poniviz Yeshiva calendars suffered terrible printing error having forgotten to print 2 חדשי אדר this year, and hence seem to think that it was already י” סיון and totally oblivious to the fact that due to leap year, the end of י”ב חודש is only י” אייר and still another month until 1st יארצייט on י” סיון
@DrYidd: “those who recommended staying in Europe…” and what about those [Zionists] who thwarted most of the rescue efforts in the Holocaust?
An Israeli yid where was there any implication of him trying to change anyone’s mind.
He made a statement that yeshiva bochurim will not go to the army. Not one.
Dr yidd zionists are fools is a relatively nice statement
Most gedolim called it a lot worse than that
I would say for starters zionists have no Yiddishe hartz
anisraeliyid:
Talmidai chachamim????
The greatest proof to the contrary is their heartfelt proclamation every shabbos that the state is ” raishit tzemichat geulatainu:. Is there a single solitary source in the Torah for the founding, perpetuating, validating any existence of such an entity??? No.
Rav Kook loved EY, but turns over in his grave for the secularism, hedonism, and frankly the idolatry of the zionist entity.
So sad…..
Those who unfortunately don’t understand that in order for EY to survive, we must have Torah U’Mitzvos, will not understand this. The argument used by some, including someone who posted earlier here, he doesn’t hold water either because in our history, we had people who went to war but we also had a nice amount of people who stayed back and learned extra sort of to make up with the others were missing. Granted, they were also yeshivas moved closer to the battlefront so that the soldiers would be able to learn or be more protected from the Torah learning. With modern-day warfare, something like that cannot happen, therefore it’s incumbent done those learners to stay in their place.
Again to those who don’t understand it, it’s like talking to a brick wall.
Look at the חסד ה’ here just another WARNING: UNPARALLELED ABSURDITY: ICC Chief Prosecutor Files Arrest Warrants For Netanyahu, Gallant & Hamas Leaders – HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU NEED BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND NOT TO PLAY WITH FIRE?!
@al daas – like I said – “ignored at best or denigrated at worst”. And right on cue, there you go with the denigration…
an Israeli Yid
DavidtheKanoi, just repeat some more lies.
ujm, those gedolim who say worse, are not. btw, start visiting kevorim.
@anIsraeligoy, like whom exactly?
Some buddy of yours who has a degree in refurbished nationalist Judaism from the nazi university somewhere in you beloved anti semitic medina..?
@DrYidd, Chas Veshalom to ask forgiveness, as the Gemara says, kol haomer shem shel rasha velo kilala, over be’ase shenemar shem reshaim yirkav….
That is, in regards to the zionists, so whoever you interpret them as, than you’d have to add the words shem reshaim yirkav… in the least…
