At a panel discussion held in the Wolfson Yeshiva in Jerusalem, when the chairman of Lehava organization Benzi Gopstein openly declared his support for the torching of churches. Benzi Gopstein openly declared his support for the torching of churches.

To the astonishment of the remaining participants in the panel, who tried to confront him with words, Gopstein repeated his stand that church torching is a Torah commandment and is part of idolatry elimination: “Of course you should burn them.”

Two days after the Shin Bet decided not to declare his organization illegal, the chairman of the Lehava organization was recorded saying that he supports torching churches as part of Torah commandments calling to eliminate idolatry.

The argument among the panel participants was published in the Kikar Hashabbat website. “Do you support torching churches in Israel, yes or no?” asked Benny Rabinowitz of the Yated Neeman newspaper. “Maimonides says you should burn. Do you support or oppose Maimonides?” answered Gophstein. “Don’t talk to me about Maimonides, I asked you what do you say?” Rabinowitz insisted until he was answered – “Of course I do.”p>

(Moses Maimonides (/maɪˈmɒnɪdiːz/ my-MON-i-deez), a preeminent medieval Sephardic Jewish philosopher and astronomer,became one of the most prolific and influential Torah scholars and physicians of the Middle Ages.
His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah still carries significant canonical authority as a codification of Talmudic law. In the Yeshiva world, he is called sometimes “haNesher haGadol” (the great eagle) in recognition of his outstanding status as a bona fide exponent of the Oral Torah.
