Vaadat Rabbonim LeInyonei Chinuch to Combat Court Petition Filed Against Talmudei Torah

By Yechiel Sever

At the behest of gedolei Yisroel, including Maran HaRav Eliashiv shlita, Vaadat Rabbonim LeInyonei Chinuch will join forces with the Union of Yeshiva Managers to counter a provocative petition to block funding of talmudei Torah.

Submitted by the Reform-backed Movement for Quality Government as part of its methodical campaign to undermine chareidi institutions, the petition claims the Education Ministry is legally prohibited from funding talmudei Torah unless they allow the ministry to dictate the curriculum.

After consulting with gedolei Yisroel principals notified the Education Ministry of their intentions to contest the petition. Since the petition was lodged against all talmudei Torah separately, principals are urged not to respond directly on an individual basis, but to act collectively based on the directives of maranan verabonon.
