Interview: Rabbi Haim Druckman

Rabbi Haim Druckman, head of Yeshivat Or Etzion and Chairman of Yeshivot Bnei Akiva, was awarded the Israel Prize this week.

Arutz Sheva had the opportunity to interview Rabbi Druckman shortly before the prize was awarded.

Congratulations on receiving the Israel Prize. I would like to open a rather personal question. Is there is a special feeling for the Rabbi? Excitement for the event?

“There’s a special feeling. I cannot say that there is excitement, but there is definitely a special feeling. Israel gives national recognition for things done year in and year out by so many for the values we hold dear: Israel, Eretz Israel and the Torah of Israel.”
