MK Findros Compares Opposition's Criticism to Pre-Holocaust German Stereotypes

MK Yitzhak Findros of United Torah Judaism addressed opposition members in the Knesset ahead of the first reading vote on the Basic Law for Torah Study. He recalled that before the Holocaust, Germans accused Jews of only wanting money, drawing a parallel to current criticisms. Findros stated that his government has actually allocated less funding than the previous one. He emphasized that the key issue is whether Torah study has shaped the Jewish people’s identity.
