4. G-d will vote 4 the one who sends Leifer BACK 2 Australia!
(11.08.19)
N.B. Leifer is member of this sect. Leifer is a pedophile. Leifer is being assisted by another member of this sect, namely the deputy minister of health Litzman.

So if they want to resolve this problem...they need to get down to some serious work!
5. So much for individuality. Brainwashed bumpkins!
David ,   Hartford USA   (11.08.19)
There should be no government welfare for these folks. If you can't afford to study full-time without government welfare, then you can't afford it. Nothing wrong with that.

But you've spent your younger years leaning Torah to the exclusion of everything else? Then you are in big trouble.

Go find a remedial high school and learn everything they have to offer. Suck up the knowledge like a sponge. After 12 hours of school, spend a couple hours on Torah if you have the energy. But learn math, world history, physics, chemistry, and a few computer languages. At least you'll be able to support yourself and your family.

Israel has too many Hillels and these turf wars are the results. Time to greatly reduce, if not end, this madness.
6. These are not Jews! They belong to weird cults!
