The answer to the lawyerYeshiva head Rabbi Hirsch spoke this evening (Sunday) at the 'Keren Olam HaTorah' conference held in Bnei Brak, attended by hundreds of rabbis, rebbes and yeshiva heads from all denominations and circles.

The conference was held against the backdrop of the cruel decrees against yeshiva students and kollel avrahim, and ahead of the "World Torah Fund" trip to the US next week, to raise funds for the world of Torah in the Holy Land.

In his speech, the yeshiva head called for a change in approach and asked that all Jews around the world contribute to the 'World Torah Fund', not just the wealthy.

The Rosh Yeshiva addressed Gali's new decrees in Yara and said: "There is great persecution, every day they are looking for ways to do more and more evil to the yeshiva students.

""Until today we thought this was a temporary crisis and only the rich were enlisting. Now we need to change the approach and every Jew in the world needs to be part of the World Torah Fund.".
