Reply To: Israeli chareidi draft bill

coffee addict: You read exactly well. This is what Bayis Jehudi has been arguing for months now, that this is the first time that Israel will recognize officially that learning Torah is a service to the state (I can already hear the howls of apukerma and the like about this…) and therefore, special arrangements are bieng made for the population. May I also add that service includes ZAKA and many other civilian jobs. In other words, you don’t even have to actually go to the army to qualify for service. Why the chareidi leadership did not grab this law as a good one is beyond my understanding.
