Rav Shmuel Auerbach, head of the Peleg Yerushalmi group which opposes yeshiva students even appearing at IDF induction centers to receive exemptions, instructed parents to remove their children from chadorim and schools sympathetic to the group and place them in the Peleg’s own institutions due to the interference of the Education Ministry in chareidi schools. Rav Shmuel warned of the importance “to guard the container of pure oil passed down from generation to generation.”

Unlike most chareidi institutions, Peleg takes no funds from the government.

Rav Aharon Teitelbaum of Satmar, who also opposes Israeli government funding of schools, praised Peleg’s policy at a recent tish.

Due to the transfer, the number of boys learning in Peleg’s Tiferes Tzion Talmud Torah in Bnei Brak grew from 240 to 800. The group’s Sarah Shnerer Bais Yaakov in Bnei Brak has 570 girls and its Ohel Rochel high school has 350 students.

610 boys are registered in a new Talmud Torah in Yerushalayim and 490 girls are learning in a Yerushalayim Bais Yaakov. A smaller Talmud Torah was established in the Neveh Yaakov neighborhood of Yerushalayim and close to 300 students registered in the group’s Da’as Zekeinim Talmud Torah in Modi’in.
