'Suckers': Suddenly distribution of charms more important than learning Torah?

Boaz Nol, leader of the 'struggle of suckers' and candidate to Tzipi Livni's movement party, commented on the words of Hgr"o Yosef in his weekly lesson, at the end of which he called on avreichim close their Gemoras for the success of hareidi parties in the elections, "According to Harav Ovadia Yosef, Shas campaign defers Torah study - not military service. The call of Harav Ovadia Yosef to yeshiva students to leave the study of Torah and help the Shas campaign - is outrageous.

"They are always proud that Torah study rejects everything, including military service, but suddenly the distribution of charms in a sectarian campaign became more important."

Last night in his weekly lesson on Motzaei Shabbos, President of the Shas Council of Torah Sages said: "I appeal to avreichim who are studying in yeshivos too, regardless of Ashkenazim and Sephardim, "Et la'asot La'Hashem Heferu Toretecha". They should rise up from their Torah study, as it is written that an endangered patient, one has to desecrate Shabbat for him – it is better to desecrate one Shabbat so that he may keep many Sabbaths. Now is not the time to be quiet, do not sit to study. They will from strength to strength and from house to house and influence them to support the holders of Torah, so with G-d's help we will have a lot of seats, and one who comes to be purified, is helped from Heaven."

Hgr"o Yosef finished his Shiur by talking about the decree of recruit which is suspended against yeshiva students, and that a strong Shas will put conditions for entry to the government. "The more seats Shas will have" - said the president of the Council of Sages - "the less chances there are of forming a government without Shas."
