Roshei Yeshivos Slabodka HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau and HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch were attending a kenes in Bnei Brak on Thursday evening when the Supreme Court issued a ruling to freeze funding to yeshivos as of Sunday morning.
HaRav Landau spoke at the kenes and issued a sharp message to the Court: “The yeshivos hakedoshos and kollelim, where the Torah is constantly learned, are the zechus of our existence here in Eretz Yisrael and that’s what protects all Jews in Eretz Yisrael from all their tzaros,” the Rosh HaYeshivah said.
“And the more lomdei Torah there are in yeshivos and kollelim, the more protection there is for all the residents of Eretz Yisrael, and chalilah, the opposite.”
“If the number of lomdei Torah is decreased, it can rachmana litzlan bring incriminations against Klal Yisrael. We all know that our existence as the sons of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov here in Eretz Yisrael, surrounded by our enemies, is only due to nissim.”
“The Torah is what protects and saves us, and chalilah, that the land shouldn’t spit out its residents.
“.ואל תשימו ליבכם לכל מיני דיבורי הבל אחרים, כי ימינם ימין שקר”

Is he saying we don’t need the army shechina cause we have the Torah or is he saying WE DON’T NEED THE ARMY SHECHINA CAUSE WE HAVE THE TORAH
Some say we are with the zionist but we protecting with studying hashem
Some say if we study hashem then we don’t need the zionist
Dear Rabbis
You are talking to tone deaf ANTI SEMITES who cut peios, forced Shabbos labor on Holocaust and Stole babies to give it white blond European families so the next generation of GDless would proliferate.
Dear Rabbis
Please Unite!!!
The entire episode from 7th October to date is irrefutable proof that the land is ONLY protected in the Zechus of the Torah of thousands of Bochrim and Avreichim!
The Simchas Torah massacre could have been 10x worse choliloh, in particular if Hezbollah would have joined in.
Yes 570 soldiers got killed in combat over the past 5 months, each and everyone is a tragedy, and we daven daily there should be no more, but B’derech Hatevah, there would have been several that number choliloh.
Hezbollah have the ability to bomb every inch of the country choliloh, yet held back from doing so.
The Westbank in particular during Ramadan could have exploded the way Hamas wanted it to happen, but Hashem is protecting us.
The list is endless.
TORAH HATERS; YOU HAVE TORN DOWN THE MECHITZOS ON YOM KIPPUR – THE GAZA FENCE GOT TORN DOWN JUST 2 WEEKS LATER!
YOU GOING TO HARM TORAH YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE!!
The accursed reshaim of the supreme bathroom are endangering us all. They have the din of a roidef to the tzibbur. They should be dealt with in accordance.
Moshe Rabeinu did not fault Klal Yisroel for not sitting and learning. He got very upset when he thought that they don’t want to join their brothers in battle.
While Yiddishkeit (Torah) can survive with Zionism (cf: the last few millenia of history), non-frum Jews can not survive in golus without assimilating. Once Jews give up Shabbos, and Kashrus, and learning Torah – they disappear. From a Jewish perspective, they are as good as dead.
So the people who run Eretz Yisrael, who are fanatic secularists, are fighting for their lives. The current gives them an opportunity to purge frum Jews from Eretz Yisrael, and this may be their last chance. Based on current demographics, within a generation the majority of Jews in Eretz Yisrael will be Shomer Shabbos, meaning the two largest “parties” will be the Religious Zionists (Mizrahi, religion nationalists) and the Religion Anti-Zionists (Hareidim) – and the secular elite’s dream of a medinah free of the yoke of Torah will be doomed to the “dustbin of history” (as they would say).
The self haters don’t care about Torah and rabonim.
“HAGAON HARAV LANDAU WARNS: “Supreme Court’s Decision Can Endanger Klal Yisrael”
You left out the part about “…in E”Y”.
The Zionists have stated way early on that they would rather have Zionism without a “State” than a “State” without Zionism. That means that they would rather have their “State” self-destruct due to the Zionist attack on Torah as that would allow them to still keep their Zionist faith/idol.
For all of those saying this is a war of non-frum Zionists vs. the Torah world, just know that there are many many many frum, Torah learning, ehrliche Jews in Israel who are davening that the Charedim be successfully and smoothly drafted to ensure the future existence of this country.
@HaKatan a ‘jewish’ state without zionism isn’t a true jewish state
sensibleyid
Hakatan maybe trying to say that zionistic governance in Uganda was also proposed which if accepted would show that a nationalistic (non Jewish) government was sought.
Even after they chose Israel, Israel became symbolic more than a holy country. Transfer idea from Uganda to Israel. The PR and hak a tsheinik that Israel is their, is what has been drumming since the inception… Got It?
Bmichilas kvod hatzadikim:
If Torah learning were so integral and absolutely not negotiable, shouldn’t we threaten that we “don’t need your Zionist money”? Of course money is important for yiddishkeit but I’d like to hear from Gedolim like you that we will pushback and money will come from Shomaim…
How did yiddin live in Meah S and other place 80 years ago or after the state with the Chazon Ish ztvk”l? They learned with dachkus. Why do you need all the materialism like the rich? I know I’ll get pushback but we need to show: 1. No Torah breaks and 2. Tone down on the money.
Btw, visnitz of yesteryear in the days of imrei chaim, chasidim were willing to go to jail en masse for military service at the time. We need to show willingness and mesiras nefesh.
Likewise in USA with the chinuch issue and secular studies. How serious are the Gedolim and askanim? As long as money isn’t threatened! The egel hazoav. We will negotiate and lower our standards for money. Where are our real gedolim???
sensibleyid:
A “Jewish” State *with* Zionism is most definitely not a Jewish State.
ader:
He also got much more upset when the idolaters made an eigel, to the point that he ground it to dust and then fed it to the idolaters, which killed them – see Chazal on the subject.
That would be a much more relevant comparison here; the Zionist wars are the predictable result of Zionism, as all the gedolim warned: that Zionism would require wars forever, and the Zionists admit as much. The Jews begged the Zionists not to invade the holy land but the Zionists didn’t care.
