Top Rabbi Slams Left-Wing Politics, Urges Opposition
Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, a leading figure in the Lithuanian Haredi world and head of the Yeshiva, delivered a sharp critique of the political left during a holiday celebration in Modi'in Illit. Speaking to organizers of the 'Union of Yeshiva Students' organization, Rabbi Hirsch stated unequivocally that the lack of divine assistance in Israel stems from the left-wing camp. "We must prevent the strengthening of the left as much as possible," he declared, emphasizing the need to counter their influence.
The rabbi's strong remarks, made in the presence of prominent political figures including Knesset members Yaakov Asher and Yitzhak Pindrus of the United Torah Judaism party, are seen as a significant endorsement of the party's firm stance within the right-wing bloc. His public pronouncements clearly signal the direction of the Lithuanian Haredi leadership regarding the Israeli political landscape, reinforcing Degel HaTorah's alignment with the right.
