It is difficult for Hareidim to serve until parents can feel their innocent boy can go in Hareidi and emerge Hareidi. For this to happen their needs to be an entire division that is Hareidi. Totally separate from every Taava that seduces children who grew up Hareidi but by the end of their service tragically they diverge from the community. Only then can the State expect people to show up for drafts.

They believe that mystical forces protect them and give kochos in ways we cant understand and the only way to release those kochos is going to Uman.

Is removing an accidental murderer from society a צדק / משפט issue or giving into the יצר הרע desire for vengeance…
