Rishon LeZion Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, a member of the Shas Council of Sages, addressed last night during his weekly class at the Yazid Synagogue in Jerusalem - the hatred on the part of some religious Zionist rabbis towards the Haredim.

Fast track or regular track: will you decide how to receive your money?

"I was once in the home of a 'Seder' yeshiva head and I saw with my own eyes, I was amazed, with a white beard, there were 'Yediot' and 'Israel Hayom' on the table. I asked about it, he gets it every day.

"I said: 'Oh my God, the head of the 'Hesder' yeshiva reads 'Yediot', 'Ma'ariv' every day? Now I understand where the views come from, why there are ultra-Orthodox haters among them. Not all of them, I emphasize. There are ultra-Orthodox haters among them. Where did they get that from? They read 'Yediot', they read 'Israel Hayom'."
