Religious Zionist MK Simcha Rothman, the chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, slammed the term “evasion law,” which some media outlets have been using to describe the law being formulated to regulate the status of lomdei Torah. Speaking in an interview with 103FM Radio on Tuesday morning, Rothman said: “I came to the conclusion, and every reasonable person knows this, that even if the government passes a law under which all members of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah will enlist in Golani, you’ll call it an evasion law.” “When this government passed the same law that the previous government passed, you called it the ‘Equality of Burden Law,’ and now it has become the ‘Evasion Law.’ This issue requires a process; if we do it incorrectly, it will fail, and if we do it correctly, it will lead to integration,” Rothman asserted. Rothman’s brother is HaGaon HaRav Natan Rothman, a renowned marbitz Torah at Wolfson Yeshivah in Bayit Vegan, a Rosh Kollel and the mechaber of Sharei Daas and many other sefarim.
