Reply To: Learning Torah protects

Yeshivaman- honestly, I think you’re 100 percent correct. I don’t think learning protects is the real reason. There are too many holes. I think the real reason is either because of the association with Zionism or the spiritual challenges of the army. I have what to say about that too but not on this thread. I don’t want to hijack the conversation. In case I’m wrong about the learning protects argument, I would like to understand it better. But to me, the learning protects argument is an attempt at a more politically correct excuse on why Charedim don’t want to serve.
