More than 3500 mothers signed a petition calling on Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot to allow Rabbi Peretz Einhorn to deliver a Torah lesson at the IDF Officer Training School every Sunday.
The mothers say they do not understand why Rabbi Einhorn should not be allowed to give a motivational speech to soldiers when they are not involved in activities and are outside their army bases.
Tzfat Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu and Ramat Gan Rosh Yeshiva Rabi Yehoshua Shapira have called on other mothers to sign the letter.
