Member of Knesset Dov Lipman – called a "rasha" (evil one) and an "apostate" by Rabbi Aharon Feldman – responds to the stinging attacks on him from haredi rabbis, including Feldman, over the government's plan to draft haredim and to compel haredi schools funded by the government to actually teach secular subjects as required by law. Lipman is also asked about Women of the Wall.
Lipman was interviewed on Zev Brenner's Talkline radio show last night. Following him, Brenner interviewed Rabbi Levi Brackman about similar issues.
The second Lipman audio file is missing Brenner's full opening question because the commercial break was only a minute long (because Lipman had to leave to go to Knesset) and I wasn't ready to record when the show came back on.
