The IDF is collecting data on working Chareidi youth, Kan News reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the IDF will try to meet the initial goal of recruiting 3,000 Charedim this year without creating a major clash with yeshivos. Therefore it collected information from income-tax data about Chareidim who are working and at the first stage, it will send draft orders to Chareidim who are not learning full-time.
Following the Supreme Court’s ruling last week mandating the draft of bnei yeshivos and the halt of funding to yeshivos, the office of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara wrote a letter to the IDF demanding that it immediately implement the Court’s ruling.
Baharav-Miara ordered the army to immediately draft 3,000 bnei yeshivos and warned the government not to continue funding yeshivos serving students eligible for the draft “directly or indirectly.”

Chareidim in eretz isroel are treated in a very undignified way, from Mainly government policies, all the way to having basic human decency. The are always chased down. And treated horribly like second class citizens, if you a chareidy living in the States or Europe… I highly recommend for you staying there… Israel is great place and all the above. politics in Israel are so terrible that they impact rights of Chareidim on regular basis, it’s almost horrifying.
So… those that are working and paying taxes and thus who are the Chareidim who are the least burden on the state are being drafted.
They really still believe they will get 3,000 – 4,000.
They have taken on a third, and perhaps the hardest front in a war already not going well for them.
Hema kar’u Venafalu, Ve’anachnu kamnu vanitodad.
If they are drafting people who are working, they are not drafting “bnei yeshivot”.
They are also conducting an inquiry into those who evaded enlistment and claimed the public welfare stipends as full time learners in Yeshiva while simultaneously earning income working in the private sector.
