A video from the Bnei Hayeshivot conference shows Rabbi Hagrama Hirsch, a leading Rosh Yeshiva, answering questions on yeshiva enlistment, the Torah world and technology, and whether the IDF should establish a unit adhering to religious standards, according to the recording released Monday.
A Q&A video featuring Rabbi Hagrama Hirsch, one of the leading Roshei Yeshiva in the Torah world, was released Monday evening from the Bnei Hayeshivot conference. In the recording, Rabbi Hirsch addresses a range of questions put to him by senior yeshiva heads and students, including the provocative question: 'If the army will establish a unit on taharat hakodesh [a unit operating exclusively according to Jewish law]?' The discussion also covers enlistment, livelihood, yeshiva study, and the relationship between technology and the Torah world.
The video is part of the broader Bnei Hayeshivot conference — the annual gathering of yeshiva students and Torah scholars — which took place this year under the heading of addressing the existential questions facing the Torah community.
The Zioneer has previously reported on related developments: on June 25, the Hesder Yeshiva Union announced August enlistment to the Armored Corps, and on June 30, the Attorney General told the High Court of an urgent need to expand the army and enforce drafting of yeshiva students. The new Q&A deals directly with these issues.
