Rabbi Moshe Gantz of the Beit El yeshiva called on the religious-Zionist public to turn away from hatred of ultra-Orthodox Jews, amid the ongoing controversy over Haredi military enlistment, according to a report.
Rabbi Moshe Gantz, a prominent figure in the Beit El yeshiva, called on Wednesday for the religious-Zionist public to repent from hatred of the ultra-Orthodox, against the backdrop of the ongoing Haredi enlistment campaign. The statement, published during the 'Three Weeks' period of mourning, adds a religious dimension to the contentious public debate.
The Haredi enlistment controversy has been a major coalition issue. As The Zioneer reported, Rabbi Itai Asman recently warned that the campaign against Haredi draft exemption is boomeranging against the religious-Zionist community, while Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich expressed hope that Haredim would 'correct course.' The Vizhnitz Rebbe also recorded a call for followers to refuse enlistment.
The call from Rabbi Gantz specifically targets religious-Zionist anger at Haredim, urging a return to unity. The Beit El yeshiva is a leading institution in the religious-Zionist movement.
