Netanyahu did not have enough seichel to put on a yarmulka for the occasion ?
We wish them success.
at least put on a kippa in their presence…
I wish them lots of luck and siyata dishmaya.
Netanyahu is a fake!
He, thru his proxy, Lapi, is doing everthing to destroy Torah! Phech!
The Kippa is supposed to cover the brain if one has.
He should always wear one. However, here he wanted to appear as one of the stam “people”, not necessarily as a religious one.
what a clown, same time as he has his “heartwarming meeting” he signs the release of 104 convicted terrorists.
Is the presence of the chief rabbis more significant than the presence of the ?????? If he doesn’t cover his head for the ?????, why should he for them?
May I ask what was heartwarming? Did he back off on ???? ????? Forced ???? of ??? ????? Cutting child subsidy payments? Forcing the degradation of our ?????? ??????? by groups like WOW? That would be heartwarming! But a simple photo-op with some election winners? That’s just political posturing!
#1 & #3 are so on point… c’mon Bibi.. show some respect.
I can’t believe everyone missed R’ Yosef’s brilliant yet respectful rebuttal. Unscripted and spontaneous. Smart man.
Kipah is not necessary if not for tefillah or eating. So cool it every1!!
Chacham Yitzchok Yosef Shlit”a was really sharp.
Even the most anti secularists wear a kippa in the presence of such Rabbis. Even goyim do in Jewish events and holy places. Show some respect is right!
