Ya'alon okays reinstatement of Har Bracha in hesder program
None
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon has authorized the reinstatement of the Har Bracha Yeshiva into the hesder yeshiva program.
In 2009 then-Defense Minister Ehud Barak decided to cancel the arrangement which allows yeshiva students to study alongside serving in the army with Har Bracha after the head of the yeshiva, Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, refused to retract statements he had made supporting insubordination in the army under certain circumstances.
