why post such drivel? this is news? the only agenda i can think of is to make religious jews look bad cmon, lets get some real news

That's a French saying : so the father , so the son . No other comments needed .

What an insult to all normal Israelis. These people remind me too much of the freaks in Tehran. They should receive no benefits from my hard-earned taxes. What an embarrassment to the country.

If these wise men are our guides and their words are to be taken seriously, then everything they say is noteworthy. We cannot pick and choose what we like and we don't like, just as we cannot close our ears to things we may not agree with. A man is only as good as his word. If his word is rubbish...

did you have a nice trip?

The sad thing is that there are people out their that actually take these clowns seriously !

We're not moving from here. These people belong in Iran or Gaza, not in Israel.

What ? Who he want to fill in The Arabs ? Idiot !!!

What a plonka? 20 is too young to get married, and there is nothing so uncultured and trustworthy than a Yeshiva Broker who shirks his family duty by looking AFTER his wife and family. How primitive can you get?

The Council of Torah Sages ! You are suppose to call the jews back there not TELL THEM TO GO AWAY !

And who defines that this person is a sage or a wise man. No one I know

If a married man has to provide for his family then why should we have to also do so?

He is such an embarrassment to Judaism. His idiocy is a big chilul hashem. CONVERT TO ISLAM!!

...they can go anywhere they want. Jerusalem is as much a state of mind and spirit as a physical place.

So single Chareidi boys over 20 have been told not to live in Jerusalem. Why should anyone who is not Chareidi care???? It doesn't effect any of the talkbackers except to have those who hate Chareidi and need to write their ongoing drivil. ( and YNET to again publish its' anti-Chareidi story of the day) Before anyone attacks me. I am NOT Charedi and I feel that ALL should have jobs. I just don't see the need for this type of article and the resultant responses. This one, in particular is a non-story.

...anyone who doesn't like it can just ignore it, since his words are not directed at you. So you can stop with all the idiotic, bigoted statements.

At 19 they should be serving in the Army and defending people like these Rabbis not getting married.

At 19 these boys are not "over the hill" or beyond marriage age. They should be serving in defending the country. Then they should study and settle down. This forcing them out is based on an old rule from back when the life expectancy was 40 years. So they would have been middle aged at 20, now they will live to 60 - 80 so they should not be subject to old rules.

Where there's a demand there's just gotta be a solution...nu?

Exept for the cold and rainy days , it was great .

Why are these draft dodgers allowed to get away with this? Age 20? Why aren't they in the army or in jail?

...I'm being asked to foot the bills!!!!

Because their parties are necessary to form a coaliton, that's why.

The fact is , its our tax money that pays for the life style of such religious parasites. Its our children that serve in army to protect these people. So when they go get a job , pay taxes and serve their country its no longer our concern!

Whey publish every bit of inane idiocy form fools who undermine the credibility of Judaism? This sort of nonsesne makes our faith look ridiculous, orthodoxy a sad comedy and it encourage fight to saner (and yetunrecognized) ways to express ones judaism. Give us a break!

A total Cretin! This jerk will be another "Sympathizer for the Devil". Another "Give up Jerusalem for Peace"! I suggest dropping him (via Parachute) over Baghdad or Teheran where his soul and his heart lie!! A disgrace to Judaism, but mostly, a DISGRACE to G-D!!

you are a fool, currently the law in the democratic state EXEMPTS theses students. so who are you to suggest they go to jail? and whats more, there are more non-religious ILLEGAL army-dodgers than yeshiva boys but somehow that doesnt bother you. because as i said, you are a fool

Have a family and support it? I was under the impression that these orthodox males didn't work even if they had families? I thought they lived off government stipends? I thought they didn't serve in the military because they had to spend all their time praying and studying holy books? What is the truth here?

The Halacha states that one should not marry until after he has established a parnasah so that he can support a wife and family. Living off hand outs is not considered a parnasa.
