As the leader of the dati leumi Bayit Yehudi Party finds himself under attack, accused by Likud/Beitenu and others of preventing the formation of a coalition, rabbonim are standing by his side.
Rabbonim affiliated with the Tekuma faction sent a letter of support to MK Uri Ariel and Natan Natanson, with the latter being a long-time affiliate of the NRP and heavily involved in coalition negotiations.
The letter signed by HaGaon HaRav Dov Lior Shlita and Rabbis Chaim Steiner, David Chai HaKohen and Issr Kolonsky says “In light of updates that we received from you and in light of the media hysteria, we strengthen your hand and the way you have chosen towards protecting the World of Torah and the settlement of Eretz Yisrael in cooperation with Yair Lapid and the Yesh Atid Party.”

“protecting the World of Torah”?! Is that supposed to be some sort of sick joke? Or do these Rabbonim have absolutely no clue as to what Bennet/Lapid are trying to accomplish?
Well, you can bring the donkey to the water but you can’t make him drink
are they being serious “protecting the world of torah ”
what does that mean by sending the hareidim to the army that is protecting the world of torah.
What is it with dati leumi ??? i just do not get it ?
Am i missing something ? Can someone please explain how bennett supporting lapid is protecting Torah.
Lapid wants to itroduce reform marriage in Israel, cut yeshiva funding, enlist the Charedim
Where is the Torah protection ?
Did i miss something please correct me if i am wrong ?
and then he’ll wonder why Charedim don’t protest with him when the zionists tell him what he can write in a Sefer…
#4 I suppose Midah Knegad Midah is the way to go..
They shouldn’t complain when these new draftees are used to expel dati leumi Jews from the settlements.
Torah10, this treachery has been going on since 1902 when the Mizrachi broke off from the Jewish people, it’s just more of the same. Hashem yishmor.
Funny Loyal Jew because it doesn’t seem like it is the Dati Leumi who’ve broken off from the Jewish community or who have forgotten that there are 4 sons at the seder table! The fact that our Haredi politicians can openly talk about expelling yidden (of any hashkafik description!) from homes & abandoning malchus Yisroel as an act of political revenge tells me that it is they who have broken off from the Jewish people, its mission and its Torah: “We will vote in favor of evacuating outposts, we will vote in favor of freezing construction, we will support diplomatic peace efforts and we will vote in favor of cutting funding to the settlements.”
Kol Dodi Dofek…we’re slamming the door in His face!
