Quote of the Day

Whoever wants to send his children to the Mamach controlled by the Ministry of Education where Judaism is not taught - they can go there. The Mamach was established by Shai Piron who wanted to destroy the Haredi education system. The gedolei yisrael are against it.

  -- MK Moshe Gafni (UTJ)

1. this is a bit of a change of tune. Until now Gafni has always said he is opposed to Mamach and will work against them and try to get them all shut down. Now he is saying the gedolim are against it but whoever wants to send his kids there, go ahead.

Interesting

2. The Mamachs are all staffed by Haredi educators and staff. Yes, they are under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, but Judaism is not taught there? What are those Haredi rebbis and teachers teaching, if not Torah and Judaism? Gafni does not hold the monopoly on Judaism.
