""On this occasion," said the yeshiva head, "I appeal to all those who are thinking of enacting a law that will require yeshiva students to enlist. Know this - yeshiva students will not enlist. In no way, in no way [will there be] conscription of yeshiva students.".
The head of the yeshiva emphasized: "The mobilization of yeshiva students - both for us and for you, even if you don't understand it, and for the entire Jewish community in the land - is a great and terrible disaster, may God protect us, and I have no need to go into detail.".
