In the "Out of Their Minds" segment of the "Election Zone" program on Channel 13, panelist, political commentator Shari Roth, addressed former Supreme Court President Professor Aharon Barak - following his remarks about Torah scholars.
""I did not complete my law studies at Tel Aviv University. I studied a little, but enough to know who the Rebbe of the Israeli legal system is, the one revered by all. Aharon Barak.".
""I've been coming to the studio here for several years now and I admit, I failed to explain to you what the pages of Gemara mean to me, the Torah that my sons study, the yeshiva students and my kollel elders. I envy Barak's right to do what I couldn't.
""To say, in amazing simplicity, whoever studies Torah? Let him study. Without quotas. Professor Barak, you managed to move me to tears and I'm not exaggerating. You managed to light a real light on this Hanukkah holiday.".
