Chapter I
The Torah World
Those with a genuine devtion to Torah must have the security and ability to learn without feeling threatened. The only way to ensure this is with a comprehensive arrangement distinguishing him from those for whom Torah is not their primary occupation, providing options for every path within the Chareidi community.
The stance of Hatzibur HaCharedi is that the only effective way to protect yeshiva students is by giving each individual two suitable paths, both first and foremost dedicated to Torah, none of them compromising or exposing them to risk of spiritual decline. This creates a clear distinguishment between those who choose to occupy themselves solely with Torah, and those whos primary occupation lies elsewhere.
Such an arrangement would simultanously accomplish two things. It would, most importantly, protect the Torah world and enable every person who is suited and able, to dedicate himself to Torah study without interference. It would also increase the number of Charedim performing meaningful service which in turn has the potential to gain the acceptance of the broader Israeli public and the legal authorities.
What We Will Change
1. Regulate the status of full-time Torah students: Anyone who is genuinely committed to Torah and dedicates his life in practice to full-time study must be able to learn with dignity, without having to fear arrest or any other interference. This is a fundamental and non-negotiable condition for any cooperation between representatives of the Charedi Public Party and the governing authorities on this matter.
3. Greater Independence for the Torah World: The movement will work to significantly increase the earning capacity of Charedi families, so that every household can enjoy financial stability and a dignified livelihood. The more financially secure and Torah-supporting families there are, the more yeshivos and kollelim will be able to rely on traditional Jewish models of private communal support, rather than remaining dependent on external government funding.
