So you’re saying this is all a big mistake. really Rav Ahron Leib Steinman wants to introduce secular subjects into charedi mosdos, but the people who collect the money are preventing him from doing so?
It has nothing to do with our main point.
So you are saying the government is acting unconstitutionally? I don’t know a lot about law, but I don’t think tax money is held in escrow by the government for the Israeli people. I think the money belongs to the government and they have the right to choose where they put it. Do you think that someone who thinks the Israeli economy needs more governmental funding and he is also being penalized when the government spends it on defense?
(As I have posted before,) I agree with you once again. Until now, everyone who took money was justified, since the government offered it. If the government no longer offers it, then you are no longer justified in taking it. The taxpayers/voters have decided to no longer offer money, so the government (following the wishes of “the people”), is no longer offering it.
There are no inherent “right” to get money from the government, it is only what the government decides to offer. The government has decided to only help those who attempt to help themselves (in the area of Parnassah. Even that is not true, they are just offering less help than before).
I’ll have to retract what I said before. Anyone has the right to ask, there is free speech. The government also has the right to say no. You can complain about it, but not break the law because of it.
I’m glad we agree.
