Only twenty-four rabbis from military yeshivas signed a letter in support of Rabbi Melamed from Har Bracha yeshiva. Rabbi Melamed publicly praised the soldiers who refused orders to evict Jews.
The Defense Ministry retaliated by shutting down his yeshiva.
Rabbi Melamed will soon sign a letter condemning insubordination in the army, even though Jewish religious law is clear: we do not follow the orders that violate the commandments.
