Top Rabbi Declares Current Election a National Emergency
Rabbi David Cohen, a prominent member of the Council of Torah Sages and head of the Hebron Yeshiva, has urged the public to mobilize for the upcoming elections, describing the situation as an unprecedented national emergency.
Speaking during a visit from United Torah Judaism party chairman MK Yaakov Asher to his Sukkah, Rabbi Cohen stated, "There has not been such a state of emergency since the establishment of the state." He warned that inaction in the current electoral campaign would effectively arm Israel's enemies.
Rabbi Cohen's strong remarks come amid the approaching election campaign and growing concerns about the future of the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) public and Torah institutions. The call to action emphasizes the perceived threat to the Haredi community and its way of life, urging full engagement in the political process to safeguard their interests.
