New Beit Medrash in the Knesset

By Gldmeier @gldmeier


What do you think of this?
MK Rabbi Shai Peron (Yesh Atid) and MK Dr. Ruth Calderon (Yesh Atid), along with MKs Yoni Chetboun (HaBayit HaYehudi) and MK Elazar Stern (HaTnua), are planning on establishing a Beit Medrash program in the Knesset.
The purpose of the program will be for MKs and Knesset employees to learn some Torah once a week, on Tuesdays, and to have discussions about Judaism.
Every week a different MK will take a turn leading the discussion, teaching a talmudic topic.
According to Kipa, the haredi parties have not yet decided whether to participate or not.
Looks to me to be a good idea...
it brings new meaning to the phrase Ki Mi'Tzion Teitzei Torah - From Zion will come forth Torah. This would be the heart of Zion and specifically Zionism that would be teaching Torah...
