As Israel grapples with heightened security concerns following the attack on Iran, a new statement from rabbonim of Yerushalayim’s Yishuv HaYashan communities calls on the ir people to completely ignore the government directives and continue life as usual.
In the sharply worded announcement, the rabbanim instructed members of their communities to maintain full schedules in yeshivos and Talmudei Torah, despite calls for altered routines or emergency adjustments from Israeli authorities.
They wrote, “Do not be misled by the calls and directives of a government that seeks to uproot the Torah.”
The statement echoes a posuk from Yirmiyahu, reinforcing the centrality of uninterrupted Torah study: “If not for My covenant [of Torah] day and night, I would not have established the laws of heaven and earth.”
