Porush to U.S. ambassador: "the government is trying to hurt us"

MK Meir Porush, launched today (Monday) a letter to Daniel Shapiro, U.S. Ambassador to Israel, where he explains to him the meaning and implications of the trip of members of Council of Torah Sages visit to the United States. This was followed by yeshiva recruitment decrees.

The letter opens Porush, "You must have heard about the important rabbis serving the greatest authority we have Agudath Yirael, who are members of the Council of Torah Sages, will leave in a few days to visit the U.S.."

"The visit of the holy Rebbes Shlita came against the decree of the government recruiting yeshiva students which seeks to make that decision in the Knesset, with the possibility that if Haredim won't join the military as they wish, they will also be able to seat them in jail."

"Surely you remember," said Porush, "content words, a conversation we had when you visited my house a few months ago, on Monday Tishrei Tsha"d - 09/09/2013, then I told you, among other things, that if and when the great Torah will understand that God forbid a question of the possibility of continued study of Torah in Israel for anyone with a desire to do so, we looked at it, the government in this country declared war on the ultra-Orthodox Judaism, and we on our part a result, we will not hesitate from taking even more drastic measures. "

"We believe what is written in verse, her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace '- but the moment and we feel like this is a war to hold the Torah and its study, we are not too disgusted to taking significant steps to express our opposition to power."

"Know, Porush ended, "we feel the governments conduct towards ultra-Orthodox Judaism in this country that they came to shove, and thus understand the meaning of 'urgent trip of the Gedolei Hador shlit'a to the United States, is a warning against the government here which seeks to harm us."
