Quotes of the Day
Selecting a Quote of the Day for today was tough, as I found a few that would each qualify... so I will offer four quotes for today:
1. Specifically when the Haredim are showing signs of integration, they are being banned.. I have not heard of someone sitting with them even one time to come to understandings regarding the issues of work and the draft. They are just banning them. Instead of bringing them closer, and integrating them, we are bringing polarization and animosity. Yair Lapid has interviewed the entire world, he could have interviewed people from the Haredi camp and from Shas, and speak with them.
-- Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv Rav Yisrael Meir Lau
2. Yair Lapid is entering the Finance Ministry with an empty toolkit. He has no experience in finance and he has no political experience. But I hope that he has intelligence and has the ability to learn. He must build for himself a group of external people - former directors, etc. who will help him with the humongous backload that will be waiting for him. Not everything that he said during the elections will he be able to fulfill
-- former Finance Minister Avraham Baiga Shochat
3. At home we learned that actions are important and not words. We are men of action. When I have what to say, I will say it.
-- MK Yair Shamir (Likud Beyteynu), explaining why he still has not given his inaugural speech in the Knesset
4. I think the Jews’ place is in Israel, regardless of economic or diplomatic or political calculations. A Jew should be in Israel.
-- Minister of Social Welfare Moshe Kachlon, at an aliyah event in new York

there are a whole bunch of things that i don't understand about rav lau's quote, but i'll ask about one in particular. what are the issues regarding work? OK they want separate sex training. fine, let's do it. but actual work, what is the issue? if some guy from bnei brak wants to work at RAD, let him apply. if he can't bring himself to work under a female supervisor, that's his problem. what issues need to be resolved here?
ReplyDeletethey cant work until the army issue is resolved, so they have a work integration problem automatically.
DeleteThey arent educated in non-talmudic studies, so they need training programs and systems that will allow them to be trained to a certain level within a reasonable amount of time. They also need to deal with bagrut testing. I dont know how necessary "mehadrin workplaces" are - they seem to only be in place for the haredi women, while the men who go to work seem to do fine going right into the general workforce.
rav lau's quote isn't accurate. i just heard mk gafni say that he has spoken with lapid plenty of times. there is a keness in the knesset today to talk about helping chareidim in the high tech world. wadr to the rav, that type of talk is victim talk and inaccurate talk at that.
Deleteand of course, the mks pushing the keness aren't from UTJ.
"OK they want separate sex training"
ReplyDeleteI think you meant to write "separate-sex training."
"showing signs of integration" - until I read the comments I was very confused because I thought this meant they want in on the coalition and that is signs of integration, but meanwhile all the talk from the charedi MKs is very anti-army (which isn't so much about integration). It seems to me that the charedi MKs don't come out and ask for a army-exemption to help charedim work, they only talk about supporting them in yeshiva.
