The IDF announced that the popular Torah classes given on Sunday at a central IDF base will resume, six months after it was canceled.
In August, General Aharon Haliva, who commands the IDF's Technological and Logistics Directorate, ordered that a weekly Torah class given to IDF soldiers be scrapped without specifying the reason.
The Torah class is called 'Sunday Happiness,' a play on the common phrase 'Sunday Sadness' which IDF soldiers use to describe their despondency upon having to report to base on Sundays. The class was given at Ir HaBahadim (lit. the city of training bases) near Yerucham, at which a large number of IDF soldiers are required to report every Sunday, and it enabled soldiers to utilize the extended downtime they have waiting for buses to learn Torah.
