Talks are underway between Naftali Bennett of Bayit HaYehudi and Yair Lapid of Yesh Atid towards reaching agreement on the ?share the burden? issue. If the dati leumi and secular parties reach agreement, in all likelihood, Bennett?s next battle will be with some of the rabbonim who represent the dati leumi tzibur.
Following the release of the Plesner Committee report a number of dati leumi rabbonim spoke out harshly against the committee?s recommendations, which are in line with the Lapid plan to compel chareidim to serve in the military. Rabbonim who signed their names to that document include Rabbi Dov Lior, Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, and Rabbi Tzvi Yisrael Tau.
The Rabbonim Shlita at the time spoke of the ?spiritual threats? facing the State of Israel and the need ?to increase limud Torah sevenfold?.
In a related matter, Rabbi Chaim Druckman Shlita, a leading posek in the dati leumi community has met with Naftali Bennett following the elections. The rav was unwilling to divulge details of that meeting but told the press ?I rely on Bennett?. When asked to comment on his vision of ?sharing the burden,? Bennett is quoted by Yisrael Hayom as saying that ?we must address two mitzvos here, learning Torah and serving in the IDF.?
Yisrael Hayom quotes persons close to Rav Druckman as saying ?things may change down the line but for now, Lapid takes the matter to an extreme.?
