kotlorism: it’s amazing how the anti-pelegs have managed to convince you that ‘there is no draft’… ‘if you sit and learn, you will not be drafted’… whata laugh! how naive!
the novominsker rebbe’s very own grandson – came to learn in america for some time. when he returned to israel – his status as a ‘learning boy’ had been rescinded (b/c he wasn’t learning in israel), and he was forcefully drafted. get your hands on the novominsker’s letter – it’s an eye opener.
i myself am personally familiar with a young newly married avreich who moved to a different town (from his yeshiva) and went to learn in a small kollel. but the law is, that if the kollel does not have at least 10 avreichim who are ‘potential’ soldiers, then no one of that kollel will get a p’tur. and so he was thrown in prison for 10 days for refusing to get drafted to the army. i know the boy!
so yes, they have managed to put you to sleep by telling you ‘everything’s fine and dandy’.
IT IS NOT!!!
