Tzivka Greinlick: The Law Concerns Money, Not Torah Study
Tzivka Greinlick, the father of Captain (res.) Shaul Greinlick who fell in battle in the Gaza Strip, protested during a Knesset committee discussion against the legislation of a Basic Law on Torah Study. Watch.
Assessment
A bereaved father testifies before a Knesset committee against a proposed Basic Law on Torah study, arguing the legislation is about funding rather than the value of learning itself. His personal loss during the Gaza war gives his objection moral weight, framing the debate around whether the bill prioritizes financial allocation over genuine religious principle. The next step is to see if his testimony shifts committee deliberations.
