Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef described Israel’s school core curriculum studies program as “nonsense” and said pupils should study in yeshivas instead where only religious studies are taught.
Yosef’s
comments sparked criticism toward the Sephardi chief rabbi, who was
accused of promoting dependence on government handouts and charitable
donations instead of advancing self-reliance.
“There
is nothing like the holy Torah, the Torah is above everything,” said
Yosef in a recent synagogue address, first reported by the Kikar Shabbat
news website.
“If
a pupil is asked where do you want to go, a yeshiva high school [where
religious studies are taught together with the core curriculum] or a
holy yeshiva, there is no doubt, a holy yeshiva, there is no doubt,”
declared the chief rabbi.
