<font size=3>The media has widely reported that a Belz Yeshiva in England
has forbidden women from driving their children to Yeshiva. It was
further reported that if the mothers do not comply, the children will be
thrown out of Yeshiva.<br><br>
In a letter sent to parents last week, seen by the Jewish Chronicle, they
say there has been an increase in the number of mothers driving their
children to school and add that this has led to “great resentment among
parents of pupils of our [Hasidic] institutions”.<br>
The letter says the ban, to come into force in the summer, is based on
the recommendations of Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach, the Belzer spiritual
leader in Israel.<br>
It says that if a mother has no other choice but to drive her child to
school – for medical reasons, for example – she should “submit a request
to the special committee to this effect and the committee shall consider
her request.”<br><br>
The question is what does halacha have to say about this? <br><br>
