Joint Announcement of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Degel HaTorah and of Agudath Israel
The heart of G-d-fearing Jews is soured and sore in light of the intentions to issue draft decrees against yeshiva students and kollel avreichim, who toil in Torah and for whom Torah is their only occupation, in order to uproot them from the beis medrash.

Meeting of One Hundred Roshei Yeshiva

The first mitzvah given to Odom Horishon was: "Peru urevu umil'u es ho'oretz" -- be fruitful and multiply and fill up the land. In parshas Shemos the first fact about Israel in Mitzrayim that we are told, right at the beginning, is that they fulfilled this Divine commandment: "And Bnei Yisroel were fruitful and gave birth and increased and became a very mighty throng, so that the land was full of them" (Shemos 1:7).
