Degel HaTorah

The head

of the Vada Rabbanim of Halacha Tzibur HaCharidi, Dayan Pfeffer, on the one hand, and then a member of Knesset, Yitzchak Pindras, who is one of the reps of Degel HaTorah.

And there's a lot to be said there, and I do have my own bias, but I wanted to double down on one aspect of that.

I sent you a link to that, I hope you've had a chance to listen.

Uh, I, I said a final, uh, political question.

Uh, y- at the beginning of this month, uh, the spiritual leader of, of United Torah Judaism, Degel HaTorah, uh, Rabbi Dov Landau, decided to remove from the United Torah Judaism, uh, list longtime member of Knesset Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev.

Um, are you worried that might happen to you one day? Because I think, uh, listeners outside Israel need to understand that this is a party that, uh, operates under the orders of, of rabbis.

Are you worried that-

Yes

... career might end?

So what I would say, in Degel HaTorah, it's very clear, even technically.

Okay? The people that sign on the list, everybody said Degel HaTorah.

This is not about grabbing, taking hold of as many resources as possible for our respective communities.

Don't forget, right now, what do we have? We have the Sfadim, Shas, We have the Litvish, the Yeshivish, Degel HaTorah, and we have the Chassidim, which is Agudas Yisrael.

Why do we need three different parties? The answer, because each one is vying for its share of the resources.

This is not, this should not be our posture.

And he's going to explain what it is.

And then we're going to have Rabbi Yitzchak Pindris, who's a member of the Knesset for the Degel HaTorah.

And he's going to say what the sheet of the other parties is, the Degel HaTorah, etc., Before we go to our guests, I want to say a small verse on this week's parasha.

So the Mepharshim say, a lot of the Mepharshim say, goes on, says it's always Rosh Hashanah.

So the question is, it should say, like, doesn't sound like a very big accolade.

I'll tell you.

The current Haredi politics in Israel is dominated by the traditional division between the Sardim, the Ashkenazim, which is divided into two parties, the Hasidim, and the Litvish.

The Sardim is Shaft, the Litvish is Degel HaTorah, which was established by Rav Shaft, if I'm not mistaken, And the Hasidim is Agudat Israel.
