Betar Illit Mayor Meir Rubinstein met with the heads of matnasim (community centers) from around Israel on Wednesday in the framework of a program to permit them to become acquainted with the chareidi public.

One of the participants in the event was Deputy Minister Meir Porush, who provided a synopsis of aspects of the chareidi community. In his remarks, Porush explained, “There is patronage towards the chareidi tzibur in all the institutions of government. There is no population discriminated against like ours. If we do not sit in the coalition, basic things like the budget for dealing with the lost chareidi youth will not exist”.
