As the summer session of the Knesset approaches and concerns grow over the ongoing gezeiros affecting the olam haTorah, members of Knesset from Degel HaTorah met last night with Rav Dov Landau, rosh yeshiva of Slabodka, at his residence.

The MKs spent approximately twenty minutes in a private audience with the rosh yeshiva, discussing the evolving legislation surrounding the draft law and the status of bnei yeshiva.

During the meeting, Rav Landau expressed appreciation to the representatives for their efforts and dedication in working to secure proper legal standing for lomdei Torah within the proposed law. He indicated that their hishtadlus until now was necessary and encouraged them not to be shaken by criticism from various quarters.

Regarding the advancement of the legislation through the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee ahead of a potential vote, Rav Landau said that he would issue his final position at the beginning of next week, with the opening of the summer session, after reviewing several additional factors.
