Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein, the rov of Ramat Elchonon and renowned posek, addressed questions from mispallelim after reports circulated claiming he had issued a psak allowing chillul Shabbos to avoid army service, Lechatchila reported.

During a shiur, someone asked Rav Zilberstein about the alleged ruling, and he responded sharply: “Whoever publicized that does not know his right hand from his left hand. One didn’t hear what I said, and publicized it. It’s all a tale.”

He clarified that his words were in the context of a completely hypothetical situation. He had asked what a Yid should do if, chas v’shalom, a government would issue a gezeirah forbidding limud haTorah. In such an extreme case, he said, it would be mutar to travel on Shabbos to escape.

“But where is that happening here in the Land of Israel? Do the authorities prevent Torah study? Of course not! If when they do their army service, they want to learn Torah, will someone oppose that? G-d forbid!” Rav Zilberstein continued. “This was said only about a scenario where the nations of the world ban Torah study.”

One participant mentioned that his son was mechalel Shabbos “because Rav Zilberstein said to desecrate Shabbos and not to enlist.” The rov reacted with disbelief: “Maybe he had a dream. Maybe he dreamed a dream! I did not say that.”

When asked about bochurim who are not shteiging in Torah and instead spend their time wandering the streets, Rav Zilberstein was clear that such cases are different: such a young man should “enlist where Rav [Aharon Leib] Shteinman said – of course. What’s the question? Of course he should.”

The specific framework he was referring to is the IDF’s Netzach Yehuda battalion, established to accommodate those from chareidi backgrounds who cannot sit and learn full-time. The program allows them to fulfill their army obligations while continuing with some level of limud haTorah.

The Tel Aviv-based Rosh Yehudi outreach organization will once again host Yom Kippur tefillos in a public area this year, after receiving official permission from the municipality. This approval follows last year’s Supreme Court decision allowing gender-separate services at Meir Park.

On Thursday morning, Rosh Yehudi was granted a permit from city officials to hold davening at the park on Yom Kippur eve, starting at 5:30 p.m., as well as on Yom Kippur day itself, between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

“We are expecting a large and calm prayer per the approval of the municipality and Supreme Court,” Rosh Yehudi Chairman Yisrael Ze’ira told Ynet. “We invite the residents of the area to a unifying and uplifting prayer, as one person with one heart, in accordance with the municipality’s approval.”

The annual event has sparked significant tension in recent years. In 2023, fierce confrontations broke out when anti-religious activists tried to halt the service and tore down the makeshift partition the organizers had set up using Israeli flags, after the municipality initially banned separate seating at public gatherings.
