Reply To: Does anybody realize the implications?

This whole “having to choose between Torah and Zionism” situation does not exist. Saying that chareidi bochrim should do some sort of national service in lieu of the military service required by every other citizen of the state is not “forcing people to choose” anything over anything. Nobody is saying that bochrim can’t go to yeshiva nobody is forcing anyone to have any ideology over another. They are just saying that no matter what your ideology is you should still have to contribute like everyone else. That’s all.
