Shas chairman Aryeh Deri wondered on Tuesday evening how charedim are allowing themselves to stay at home on election day and not vote in order to prevent Yair Lapid from remaining as Prime Minister, Arutz Sheva reports.
“The Torah world as a whole is in great danger,” he said in an interview with the radio station Kol Barama. “I can’t understand the reports about the indifference. We shouted a year and a half ago that a great disaster would happen, they didn’t believe us. Now they are in power and we all hear what Lapid is plotting to continue to do. He wants to recognize the Reform Jews and he says so openly. I say: Good Lord! How can people in the charedi public not go to vote? They want to take away their property tax discounts, cut their budget for kollelim and discounts for day care centers.”
He added, “The house is on fire and people are philosophizing? What do those charedim who do not want to vote prefer, that the left remain and Lieberman destroys the world of Torah for good? I turn to the entire public and say: There is no way that a charedi Jew who observes the Torah and mitzvos will not go vote, or vote for a non-charedi party. What did the President of the Council of Torah Sages, Rabbi Shalom Cohen, say before he died? God’s dignity is at stake.”

Interesting. Since when did he become a Gadol hador that we must hang on to his every word?
The Treifeneh State could recognize whomever they want and it will NEVER be a disaster or danger to our holy Yeshivah world. Hashrm promised that to us.
Let them make whatever rules they want and it will just show who they really are.
Very soon the Orthodox world will not accept or consider anything this Secular country does including but not limited to Geirus, Marriages etc.
We should of done this years ago but it did not happen. now HaShem is forcing this correct path down our rhroats.
BORUCH HASHEM.
