Rishon LeZion Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, a member of the Shas Council of Torah Sages, addressed the conscription of yeshiva students in his weekly lesson tonight (Saturday night) - and testified that he tore up a conscription order that was brought to him by a yeshiva student.
The Chief of Staff said: "Revoking the draft decree, truly, is a decree that hurts all of us. If we had gone with the left, it would have been much better. Going with the right, sticking to the right. I don't know what they found with the right today.
""In any case, we must pray to God Almighty to revoke this decree, so that yeshiva students can study in peace and not in fear.".
The chief of staff revealed: "On Thursday, someone brought me a draft order, an arrest warrant that they want to arrest him. I took it, I tore it up for him. What is this? Ben Torah!
""In the 77 years that the state has existed, it has never occurred to anyone, what is this? Right, right, right, crazy...""

In the past, Rabbi Yosef has already called for "conscription orders to be flushed down the toilet," and declared that in the event that yeshiva students are actually arrested, a public fast should be declared.
