Reply To: Regarding the Draft

Also, as the Rabbi of Berlin mentioned, Daas Yochid misses the point that talmidei chachamim MUST cease their talmud torah and go fight along with the rest of the am UNLESS torah umnaso, torah is their occupation full-time.

that would mean most chareidim not serving right now would have to serve except for the select few that are in it full-time. Back in the alte heim, there was a select elite group of talmidei chachamim that learned, and most other ‘chareidim’ back then worked. The Chofetz Chaim had a grocery store, chayei adam sold gunpowder, etc.
