Positions and record
Core education: Called in December 2019 for high-quality secular subjects alongside Torah studies, with trained teachers and state supervision in Haredi schools.
Education reform: Argued in December 2019 that the state should first support Haredi families seeking broader education, rather than begin by confronting those who oppose it.
Bereaved parents: Argued in December 2021 that parents should be able to attend an infant’s burial and know the grave’s location.
