Rookie MKs Planning to Launch Knesset Beis Medrash
(Thursday, February 21st, 2013)
When Yesh Atid MK Dr. Ruth Calderon delivered her first Knesset address which included a Gemara shiur some MKs smiled, others were astounded and others displeased. What they did agree on is the PhD in Talmud from Bar Ilan University was a different kind of MK, and it appears they were correct.
Together with fellow rookie MKs Rabbi Shai Peron (Yesh Atid) Yoni Chetboun (Bayit HaYehudi) Elazar Stern (The Movement), Calderon is planning to launch a new Knesset beis medrash. This beis medrash will provide a place for elected officials to sit and learn, or to participate in weekly shiurim which they plan to give on Tuesdays. Other MKs will also be invited to give classes and participate in the weekly program.
The chareidim haven?t yet indicated if they will be participating.
