Talmud, prayers and urns: the Israeli city where voting is based on what the great rabbis say

In Bnei Brak, a city with a high ultra-Orthodox population, students focus on Talmud studies rather than upcoming elections. Rabbi Yehuda Shatz emphasizes moral development through Torah study. The political landscape shows dissatisfaction among Haredi voters, particularly regarding military exemptions. Netanyahu distances himself from ultra-Orthodox partners amid criticism of their alliance. The community values military service, recalling past support during crises. Despite challenges, Haredim find happiness in spiritual pursuits, prioritizing family and moral integrity over political promises.
