Following the suicides: "Do not recede from those who leave religion"

Following the many suicides of young haredi people lately MK Dr. Shimon Ohayon (Israel Beiteinu) called last night (Tuesday) the leadership of the ultra-Orthodox sector to care about preserving the relationship between those who leave religion and their families.

"Upon the Knesset plenum I call the rabbis of the haredi community: Meet the phenomenon and give these youngsters a supporting shoulder and a warm home to return to," said Ohayon, adding that "in recent days there is sounded recriminations between the Haredi community and those who leave religion about the culpability . In laws of the egla arufa in the Torah was written, that will void ground ... falling land not known who struck ... And all the elders of that city, coming into space to wash their hands ... and they answered and said our hands did not shed this blood. "

Ohayon explained that "each year hundreds of young ultra-Orthodox are leaving the community. They go out into the world without a general education without financial support, and in many painful cases without a family.

These sufferings that accompany the abandonment of religion, along with turning back on the family, collect precious blood price ".

"I urge Haredi leaders: Let's all go against the disregard and severing ties of parents of their progeny. Just as we expect from secular parents of a baal teshuva child to support and keep warm family ties with him. Then we can say, 'Our hands did not shed this blood."

Concluded by MK Yisrael Eichler who rose to speak and attacked Ohayon, but admitted "I do not object to what you said."
