What was said in the plenum

The bill, initiated by MK Moshe Solomon, seeks to establish a state body (a research institute, archive and museum) to commemorate the memory and legacy of Rabbi Haim Druckman, an educator and former leader of religious Zionism and member of Knesset. Most of the discussion in the three readings was devoted to praising his character and work and did not raise substantive opposition to the body of the law, with a significant portion of the speeches in the first reading actually dealing with other topics unrelated to the bill.
