Q&A between the delegation of Keren Olam HaTorah and its leader Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch

Okay, good evening and thank you very much for taking the time for answering the question that we received from overseas and basically from the whole Jewish world that are waiting for these answers. Uh when the fund was founded last year, we were told that it would be a one-time project. Is it turning to be a yearly fundraising project? Last year when we said that we were we we meant that for sure that it it's a one time thing and it can't be twice. We're we we're hoping that by this but at this point today there will be no need for it. There is a need. I personally thought that there's no it's impossible to have another time. the the people that were in that that basically instigated the the entire well the balabatin from America that called me that they want to make it they feel that this is something very important and they want and once I once I heard that so then was very very necessary it's a very very necessary project and if they're ready to do it Then I hope it will be the last year. We hope it'll be the last year. Very good. So it's basically coming from them. It's coming from them. Good. So uh many balabatim even among them don't fully understand the reason why do Israel have zero tolerance policy towards Karedim joining the army. Would it be possible to establish a true in the army with which complies to all requests. People who who who are honest about the situation of the army agree that the way the army is now it's out of the question that they should change it entirely that there should be a situation that that could be mishik and not only as told me on the phone we want to make an army where a person goes as a lady, he should remain a lady. That's a very very hard thing to do. And the army so was built, you have to understand the history of the army. The army was actually built to not there shouldn't be made to have a melting pot of having everybody in the army and that way would be the religion the the relig religioity of the people would be diminished and it would more or less a nice nice uh religion army forming a new Israeli basically right forming a new Israeli right they realized and they failed in this aspect and they would like to make something change but requires a tremendous effort because an army has has has many has you have to go with certain make make a certain a certain fight somewhere you can wait a half hour till after shabish or you can wait or you can wait you start an hour before shabas ends. So if if the the the the head of the of the of the platoon is a person not ashamed of Shabas and Bets a leftist who's against Shabas is very hard for him to to comply and they the army itself admits that's a very very hard thing. There are people in the army who are trying to do something and the present presently it's not yet there very far from it. Roshivit said last year that people should not give the Karen funds which were donated in the past to other moisters. How about if a person is already giving a homage to other stalkers, should he give additional funds to the car today? It really depends on the person's how how much money he has. If a person is is has very much money he's not he's not you think he owe me he give a little bit more than so then you can give a person who can't give more than doesn't give it depends on the person himself and a similar question maybe last year many donors used some of their savings to participate in the in this great mitzvah what can rash Shiva recommend to them this year as as much as they want to donate the meaning is to withdraw from their savings again. Is this the right thing to do? This is the same answer as I said before. So basically upon the personal situation one of them right we are of course all aware of for of the difficulty of raising an amount of hundreds of millions of dollars. Is there a possibility that the current government will make further cuts and we will have to raise hundreds additional millions of dollars because of those additional cuts to Kharidi families? Some are saying that if not for the Karin, a solution would have been founded a long time ago. Is this the case? Could it be that the mere existence of the Karan is preventing the sides from reaching an agreement? Let me answer the second part of the question first. Sure. You have to know that the the the worked to the the utmost possibility the utmost how much they could work in order for them to to try to make a a solution. There was no no nothing at all at all at all of the feeling of not necessary to make a solution. we have the money, we have to make a solution. It's first of all, let me it's it's it's wrong because it's not only the money. If there's no solution that then they have to conscribe the boys into the army now not the only problem of the army is is the mur if we have they have to find a solution for there shouldn't be a question of the of the of the of the conscription of the army. That's the main reason that's the main things. Of course, they were working on it to the utmost. This is a I must say this is something the question is totally not true. Totally totally not true. Now, as far as the first question is the current level will make further because maybe yes, maybe not. But we have to do what we can with what we have. Well, thank you brother Shashiva for these answers. If just a few words of before we finish to the anybody who will be part of this will be part it's not just you donating money you're part of the learning of you become a in the learning of and being af learning of is a tre a major for anybody who wears Everybody I I everybody who will join us will have all his Amen. Amen. Thank you very much.
