Letter from Rav Dov Landau Shlita Ahead of Shavuos.
Rav Dov Landau Shlita has issued a heartfelt letter offering chizuk to yeshiva bochurim and kollel yungeleit in the days leading up to the Yom Tov of Shavuos. Amid growing instability and the looming threat of a draft, Rav Landau urges the Torah community to strengthen one another and their families, emphasizing that our primary tafkid (mission) is Torah learningthe very foundation upon which the world was created.
In the letter, he alludes to the potential for the chareidi political parties to leave the governing coalition if the Giyus (draft) law is not enacted in a way that protects Torah learners. He warns that Israeli authorities are openly plotting to recruit Torah scholars into the army, and if they attempt to do so by force, the Torah community will not remain silent. “If, God forbid, they recruit by force, we will not be able to stand by. We will be forced to take actions we do not wish to take, and we will stand together to defend each and every individual so that, God forbid, they are not drafted.”
