Akuperma,
1. You don’t seem to understand Hebrew. It’s ???”? It seems that a title is very important. Nobody complaims about “????? ????” and I imagine that nobody would claim about “pastoral counselor”.
2. Nobody wants to close down yeshivot. If you haven’t noticed, the Dati Leumi sector also has yeshivot. People want those who aren’t learning to do something productive for both the country and themselves. This will also benefit the yeshivot and the general Chareidi community as it will remove the burden of supporting them, get them off the streets and create a pool of financial contributors. The latter is especially important as the economic situation is drying up sources from abroad.
