WATCH: HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shternbuch, shlita, to a Yeshiva Bochur being pursued by the IDF military police: “One must have true mesiras nefesh. Over there, one becomes corrupted immediately — they are liars and cursed resha’im.”
When the bochur asked if he should be afraid of them, Rav Shternbuch replied: “Absolutely not. Tell them you spoke with HaRav Shternbuch, who has forbidden you from going to the army.”
