At the Jewish Policy Institute conference, MK Yaakov Asher participated in a panel moderated by media personality Kalman Libeskind, editor of Makor Rishon.

Libeskind directed a question to MK Asher, who prefaces: "Just to direct you, when my son misbehaves and the neighbor's son misbehaves, it hurts me more that my son misbehaves.""

MK Yaakov Asher made a 'seder' for Kalman, when he replied to him: "Let's start with the good news, we are brothers.

The bad news is that the Haredi public is not your son. Why? Because you educate your son according to your worldview. Your ideology that you bought from your parents, your educators, and your rabbis.

"I commit the same "sin" to my children and my friends do.""
