Charedi, the Government, and Money

Given the state of coalition negotiations between UTJ and Kadima, this post The Charedi view of the government and money from last year is still very relevant.

Of course, you are right on the mark, with two additional comments:

1. This is about both money and power, namely the power of certain Rabbeim to control the distribution of government funds. The lack of respect for the integrity of government institutions will inevitably lead certain leaders to encourage violent protest to protect that money and power.

2. For those who believe that this is 'their' problem - some very bad news. Funding for all religious institutions is tainted by this issue. The very first in line for cuts, and adjustments to their program benefits is none other than Yeshivot Hesder. The challenge is profound ... so profound that it's not clear that there even will be Yeshivot Hesder, as we currently know them, five years from now.
