הראשון לציון הגאון רבי יצחק יוסף לקהילות היהודיות באוקראינה: לדאוג שאם עולים לארץ - שיוכלו לחנך את בניהם ובנותיהם על דרכי התורה הקדושה. גדול המחטיאו יותר מההורגו. pic.twitter.com/WdIm69UPwB

Chief Rabbi Rav Yitzchak Yosef sent a letter to someone (I do not know who this is but it seems to be a rabbi involved in getting refugees out of Ukraine and getting them to Israel.
Rav Yosef writes to this person saying that if the Ukrainians are going to be brought to Israel, it should be taken care to make sure they educate their children to Torah and mitzvos - it is far worse to cause them to sin than to kill them. Each case should be discussed on an individual basis.
I just dont understand this. Only in Israel is this an issue of education them to Torah and mitzvos but if they remain in Ukraine or move to France or Germany or the USA or wherever else it is ok to save them but not encourage them to go to religious schools? And, it is better to let them die in Ukraine, where they arent getting a religious education either, than to bring them out and save their lives? case by case basis - really? they are trying to escape a war and get out as quickly as possible and someone is going to spend time and make them hang out in the danger zone while they try to figure out the options for religious education? This just doesnt seem realistic. Besides for that, most people would probably say anything and agree to anything just to get out and then do what they want when they get to their destination.
