Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, leader of the Lithuanian Orthodox public, is calling on haredim not to be tempted to join special programs offered by the State in military or civilian service and in higher education institutions.
He explains that these programs are subject to the rule of “rebels” and aim to bring the haredi public closer to the secular lifestyle, values and “culture of sinners”.
