We are servants of Hashem and lovers of His Torah who support Talmud Torah, Yeshivos, Kollelim and Talmidei Chachamim, and who daven for and stand with those who physically protect the Jewish people in Eretz Yisrael.
Our commitment to Torah
Torah learning is the life force of our holy nation. We remain wholly committed to supporting Torah, Yeshivos, Kollelim and Talmidei Chachamim.
Our support for those who protect us
The IDF and Israel’s security and intelligence services bear responsibility for the physical protection of the Jewish people. We support them and daven for their success.
Our position, stated plainly
We will give only to Torah institutions that do not publicly speak against, protest or delegitimize the IDF while it bears the burden of defending Jewish lives.
תורה ושמירה · Torah and protection
The same tefillin, the same Tehillim
Every morning, soldiers across Eretz Yisrael lay tefillin before they go out to guard Klal Yisrael, and every morning, in batei midrash around the world, we daven for their safety. Our Pledge asks that the Torah world we support never publicly turn against them while they stand guard.
Why now
Hatred of the Jewish people has gone global. Intimidation and violence now reach the streets of Europe, North America and beyond, most recently in the horrific massacre at Bondi Beach, Australia. The illusion that any country is a permanent safe haven is collapsing.
Our people’s future is increasingly tied to Eretz Yisrael, and Jewish safety across the Diaspora depends on the strength of the Jewish state. In these dangerous times, we stand as one, in unity and responsibility, confident that the strength of our people lies in the alignment of Torah, security and mutual commitment.
Our Pledge takes no position on the current debate regarding the draft. It addresses only the propriety of public opposition to the IDF during an ongoing defense of Jewish life.
