A Letter from HaRav Dov Lando shlita About Our Task and Our Stand Against the Government
To Bnei Yeshivos and Avreidhei Kollel Who are Faithful to the Torah, May they live lo"yt:
As all know, for more than a year we have been in a period of difficult quandary, since the legal status of lomdei Torah with regard to their being drafted to the army has not been settled as it had been for all the years. Many in the government openly work to draft lomdei Torah to their army. The time is delayed time and again and to our sorrow no legal solution such as there was has been found.
Our thoughts are always on this matter, that the learning of the bnei hayeshivos and kollelim take place in peace and tranquillity for them and their families. But if choliloh they will compel being drafted we will not be able to stand aside, and we will be forced to take actions that we do not wish to take. We all stand behind each and every individual that choliloh he not be drafted.
As we stand before the holiday of Matan Torah, we must strengthen ourselves and each other and our families, to know that our task is just learning Torah and nothing else. This task is the best and most praiseworthy task in Creation. We must also strengthen ourselves in loving our fellows and repairing our character.
Ashreinu mah tov chelkeinu umah no'im goraleinu shenossan chelkeinu beToraso vekideshonu beMotzvosov.
May it be His will that Hashem will to rejoice in His Torah and to be meyacheid Him with love, and that the Torah not leave our mouth nor the mouths of our children from now and forever.
Who writes with great pain and great hope,
