simcha -“Would you choose army or kollel?”
This question has no basis in reality. It’s just a question to get e/o goats here in the CR due to the political fight in Israel.
The zionists here are going to be pro-army and the Charedim aren’t.
E/o in Israel does how they were raised. Charedim aren’t raised with this option. While MO and Chilonim are. So most MO and Chilonim do go and most Charedim won’t go.
I want to point out the hypocrisy of some of the posters here. Most of the Zionists scream that all Israelis have to serve, but most of these posters are Americans. So every country needs an army including the US and Israel, esp. in times of war. The US is at war and Israel even though technically they aren’t but it’s just like they are. So why don’t these American Zionist Posters join the US Armed forces? If it’s the right thing to do then it shouldn’t matter if they draft or not. The only ones that I know in the US armed forces are Charedim. At least two from Lakewood alone. How many MO have joined up? How come you haven’t?
