Rabbi: "This week we saw 'a little bit of my life' among secularists out of fear of preserving religion""

July 6, 2017   

The Rabbi of the Haredi community, Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, addressed in his weekly shiur the propaganda of secular elements against what they call the process of "religion" in the education system. According to the same elements, who launched an attack against Education Minister Naftali Bennett, religious content is delivered in state schools by various bodies, which in their wake brings students closer to the religion and tradition of Israel. Below are the Rabbi's full words, which were delivered this week to his students in his yeshiva hall: "This week we heard that the liberals here in Israel claim that recently they have begun to mention in their education stream - which, due to our many sins, more than seventy percent of the children of Israel in Israel study there, may God have mercy - the name of God and religious matters, and they are afraid that this will bring the students closer to the Haredi, and they fear that this will cause the children to be cut off from them, and therefore they are demanding that the mention of the name of God and religious matters be prohibited in them. "According to them, the children of the Haredim are only a very small percentage of all children of the general public in Israel, and in any case they have a great influence and we must be careful of them, according to the law, and they demand that completely secular schools be established for secular people. "This is an example of seeing in our time what 'a little bit of my life' is due to fear and concern about preserving the Jewish religion, Rachal.".
