1. Do they think this is any better? At leat be consistant.Just don’t come to my neighborhood collecting. There are alot of worthy mosdos to give to that actually love all jews. Luckily, the rest of the world recognises hypocrisy.

2. Now that the army has switched from “we need hareidim to serve in the army” to a “we need to draft hareidim to break the frum community before they take over” mode, any Jew serving voluntarily in the army is in a awful position. In the past, his army service was attributable either to a need for parnassah, or a desire to fight the goyim (both respectable, though the later would be disagreed with by those in the hareidi community who advocate peace). Now, voluntary army service makes you a collaborator with an oppressor.

3. Sounds like they should have had enough sechel not to embarass him and make a big stink over his uniform. On the other hand the soldier should have known what were the שיטות of the place he davened at.

4. you dont have the courage to print a message contrary to your limited vision.

5. interesahnt as an outsider i still think that they should allow in their shul poshuteh yidden who chose to have a job among the maginei eretz yisroel and not everyone has to be on such a high madreigah

   i mean not everyones all the same let people in shul with a different career choice

6. Nu, it was still wrong, but מי כעמך ישראל!

7. Baruch Hashem, this is a gevaldike Kiddush Hashem.

8. Did they say sorry ?

   It’s Elul

9. Oh. Now I understand. It’s okay to bar a soldier from davening with a minyan, and embarass him publicly, if he’s wearing a uniform. I must have missed that halacha. Good to know this before Rosh Hashana.

10. I don’t really care if it was against the uniform. Ultimately they embarassed a frum Yid and deprived him of davening with a Minyan. They have their priorities completely messed up. In heaven they will have alot to answer for their actions.

11. If “chas v’shalom” there are Arabs at their doorstep we’ll see if they disdain the uniform. Shameful.

12. against the uniform? huh, what difference does it make on the chitzonious of the person? we should be looking at the pnimious!

    But most of these animals who are too frightened to use their G-d given brain are too caught up in the ‘what will they think’ syndrome.

    Let us judge people as people and not trust some one because he dresses ‘frum’.

13. I suppose that now makes it legitimate to throw out people in Eastern European or Turkish garb. ‘Nothing against you as a person, we just take umbrage at your perpetuating the memory of the Eastern European nobility that persecuted and murdered us. And, oh yes, those delightful Turks that squeezed the life out of us, stoled our food and medicines so we could die of hunger and disease.’

    Great fashion choice.

14. Kol Hakavod. This is real ahavas Yisroel. PS wasn’t he the same person last week? Was embarrassing him publicly mutar just because of the clothing he was wearing?

15. Everyone has their opinion but, does it matter to anyone that these people( me) are willing to put our lives at risk to protect them?

    I had my own experiance; I was walking out of the old city on sukkot in uniform and I got spat at by someone who you would think (from the way he looked) that something like this is entirely beneath him. Sadly evidently not.

    But I thought to my self and I asked myself what I thought and I didn’t do anything, I walked away feeling bad for him and stil, if he is in a dangerous situation I’ll put my life on the line for him. Why? Because its why I went to the army.
