The Jerusalem Conference of paper seven, the other day,
Rabbi Yitzchak Neriah, head of the Torah in Zion and Chairman of the "one to one" harangue:
"Consider please the two biggest yeshivas our community, Rabbi Har Hamor center. Add to the arrangement biggest meeting today in Sderot, some began there a lesson? Together? Maybe 200. Hebron Yeshiva in Givat Mordechai alone! There are guys in 1200 250 at a '. in nine years now we have to shout as shouting Rabbi Zvi Yehuda of blessed memory: not where our'scm' but where H'hbron our?
Yesterday, at a conference in Jerusalem, the Education Minister Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett the next target troops of the national religious public "grip on power." "What we rule?" Asks Rabbi Yitzchak Neria. "What if the government will fulfill us? But for now, ladies and gentlemen, these pipe dreams. Fofolizim no grip".
Neria explained: "When Netanyahu dreamed H'slton' he founded the Shalem Center Research Institute will offer a conceptual alternative to the ruling elite. Jabotinsky wrote books, and developed a philosophical and ideological foundation. Mapai and the Labor Party, founded libraries, universities, publishers , translated contemplation socialist and developed ideological foundation. the national religious public, it seems, walking in the opposite direction. instead deepen, develop and expand their spiritual and his idea is gradually reducing it. how can we talk about the rule, as "the backbone of our spiritual" conference high, meeting arrangement, our overall are constantly on the verge of collapse. need the mercy of strangers?
Collectively we pretend to fit in anywhere. We want to lead, lead, and control. In reality the desire to move forward, we like Army of Tktiknim no strategy. A group of Sayeret scored deep into enemy territory, but they have no supply routes.
Ladies and gentlemen, the religious and believe, if we do not understand in depth the issue, if not internalize without religious spiritual strength we have no existence we fail to lead, lead, and certainly not the rule. You would end up lost our outposts in an attempt to conquer other outposts.
The main argument I would like to deal with, it has two faces.
1. The lack of significant spiritual reserve for the national religious public.
2. The lack of public support, the national religious public, the huge factory of our conference.
I would like to start with numbers.
According to various research data we are the national religious public in all its counters close to a million people! About 15 percent of the general population.
Geocartography Institute's research estimates the number of Haredim in 2010 -736 000 people,
Research suppose they returned -2022 million people will move to 8% of Israel's Jewish population (aged 20 and over) describe themselves as "anxious".
When the data come from the world of Torah, there could be a place to make the case to our fellow Haredim out of work! But the reality is that there are tens of thousands of yeshiva students and I'm not here to talk about, but we must.
But what is the situation with us? Well out of a population of over a million people we are talking about a total of about three thousand religious Zionist yeshiva students !!! that's it!!!
But I'm not going to let go, as part of one Fund for one 'we know almost all the meetings Let's look at another statistic, some yeshiva students in our public has learned over ten years in a yeshiva?
Those who could be future leaders, municipal rabbis, the rabbis of communities, teachers teaching, heads of yeshivot, Rmi"m, judges, chief rabbis of Israel, etc. We are talking about between 400 to five hundred it!
About 2,000 people every national religious public, we produce valuable one.
Honorable Minister of Education can talk about the rule but has been preceded him something a bit more clever, who held the helm here in the past ... I mean the wisest man King Solomon in Proverbs: CC (R) Bain revelation Ifra Am and Smr of Torah Asrho
I would like to give one more statistic, please take the two biggest yeshivas our community Rabbi Har Hamor center. Add to them the biggest arrangement meeting today, meeting in Sderot, a few began a lesson there? together? Maybe 200.
Hebron Yeshiva in Givat Mordechai alone! There are approximately 1200 holes at a 250.
In nine years now we have to shout as shouting Rabbi Zvi Yehuda of blessed memory: not where our'scm' but where Hevron ours?
Why public with so much power produces no fancy yeshiva world?
Are our youth less talented? Of course not!
Are our youth as an idealist? Of course not!
Is our Torah world is not deep? Certainly it deep!
Do we have our Torah sages? Yes, but too few.
Is not it time to think about strengthening the depth yeshiva world!
Rabbi Yitzchak Neria also serves as chairman of the 'one fund, said that the fund headed, championed the foundation and building consolidation of the national religious world of Torah, "Each of you can log on to our website, to see the extent of the Torah Gd's help in our community, especially support the Torah world must grow stronger and become stronger public.
"How is it that out of about 8000 religious boys finish twelfth grade year, maybe 1700 will be meetings !!!!
I want to say to all of you here, we have the most outstanding yeshiva heads! God-fearing! Scholars enormous! Sizes wonderful! We have nothing to be ashamed even to the public! We have a wonderful Rmi"m.
But unfortunately we do not have enough public support! We do not have enough encouragement! Even those not wishing to turn public sympathy worthy winner.
Collectively we stopped we engage in spiritual infrastructure is not enough to encourage excellence in Torah, Torah diligently, deeply religious ?.
But my main contention dear friends is not the politicians, it's us.
We are not sufficiently open pocket. When it comes Issachar and Zebulun We're stingy.
National religious public will open their pocket to rebuild families. Open the pocket to the Jews who came to Schnur in prayer. Open the pocket to support the Land of Israel and to fight cancer and traffic accidents. But support for yeshiva students? Hold this conference intensity has been difficult!
why? Where we will have our rabbis? How Iitzmho great men of our own? Who will support them US and Canadian Jewry? Why do I have a sitting head of tramping in New York and Toronto but could not get support for one of the religious communities in the highest clusters of high socioeconomic status.
The Fund's debate with a leader of the meeting, presented a case of a yeshiva student Rosh Yeshiva evidence of the diligence and seriousness, and commented that he really needed. One of the committee members asked whether he was not someone's son? Rosh Yeshiva It also said his father!
We asked the father is the wealthiest country is not able to support his son? The sad answer was quick and get to the father decided that if the child is studying Torah instead of coming to business is not supported. Have we gone mad? We punish the best of our sons about their desire to learn Torah?
One wealthy supporter of Jewish Fund and kindness, graduated from a famous meeting refused to contribute to the settlement of one 'Fund, because we were friends sat in his office and asked him why? His answer stunned me.
I support the overall Belz yeshiva students there working on their lessons!
I was shocked, I have no problem to support Belz! But I'm not ready to hear our Torah world is less important! And that would be unthinkable a guest speaker who served as an officer in an elite unit and returned to the yeshiva graduates with an army, as working on his studies Belz Hasidim? After a long conversation convinced him. But the bitter taste of the call is still in my mouth.
With such deep distrust our spiritual leadership ability are we still looking to the government, or maybe we are looking for a donkey and then are royalty. Do you feel a sense of inferiority, we must build our Torah world we must open pocket and open your heart and know that there is no way to lead the country without a strong spiritual backbone.
Hence I appeal to you: let the shoulder, invest in national-religious Torah, encouraged the growth. Nzkof the rotating our stature, we have nothing to be ashamed of, we will support in our Torah generous if we deserve it we will also lead the people.
Or return to Bennett, we have nothing to apologize for!
My brothers and sisters, I implore you.
Give honor to the Torah!
