HaRav Zalman Baruch Melamed Shlita, Rosh Yeshivat Beit El, released a statement that Bayit HaYehudi will not agree to anything that will harm the yeshiva world and the lomdei Torah.
The rav was responding to a Bnei Brak rosh yeshiva who was inquiring as to the dati leumi party?s position regarding the sharing the burden issue and the planned drafting of chareidim into the IDF or national service.
?Bayit Yehudi will not play a hand in diminishing funding for yeshivos or the number of lomdei Torah continuing to learn? he is quoted as saying. ?I believe this is how they will conduct themselves. Nevertheless, the majority of its representatives will adhere to the words of the rabbonim for there cannot be a version [of an agreement] that is not approved by the roshei yeshiva.
In a letter published by Arutz-7, the rav speaks of ?the chareidi community which fears the non observant and their malicious intent to destroy Torah, explaining he does not believe this is so, citing most of the Jews are respectful of the Torah and those who study it. There is however an effort to have the chareidim play a role in sharing in the security and economic burden of the nation.?
?If those who are not learning Torah would enter the IDF or an appropriate program, or simply enter the workplace, this would be sufficient to be acceptable to all involved? Rav Melamed explains. Ultimately, the rav believes the coalition will include Bayit Yehudi and the chareidim, and the progress will be made by agreement, not by coercion.
