The attempted recruitment of bnei yeshivos by Israel’s Attorney-General and Supreme Court reached a new stage on Monday as IDF induction centers prepared to begin registering over 1,000 Chareidim who were sent initial draft orders two weeks ago.
About 600 Chareidim are scheduled to appear at the induction center on Monday and about another 500 are scheduled to appear on Tuesday.
Following HaGaon HaRav Dov Landua’s repeated assertions that the recruitment of bnei yeshivos will endanger Klal Yisrael, YWN readers should not ignore the “coincidence” of the first “operational” day of Chareidi recruitment coinciding with an unprecedented threat to the Jewish state of a coordinated Iranian and Hezbollah attack.
Fourteen days is the legal minimum period to report to induction centers. However, the Moatzos Gedolei and Chachmei HaTorah and Roshei Yeshivos, both Ashkenazi and Sephardi, have instructed bnei yeshivos not to respond to the initial summons, which means that bnei yeshivos will be branded as deserters. On Monday, Chassidish leaders and Roshei Yeshivos also instructed their talmidim to ignore the first summons.
The IDF has estimated that about a third of the Chareidim who were summoned will comply with the orders and arrive at induction centers in Jerusalem, Tel Hashomer in central Israel, and Tiveria. They prepared for the arrival of bnei yeshivos by ensuring that only male soldiers who underwent special training will carry out the registration process. On a normal basis, the registration process is carried out by female soldiers.
The police prepared for protests and the first protest began early Monday morning, with extremists arriving at the Tel HaShomer induction center and clashing with the police, who set up barriers to prevent them from entering the induction center.
The protesters tried to break through the barriers. Police officers forcibly prevented them from entering the base and three people were arrested.
Female reporters complained about derogatory treatment by the protesters:

Why the headline “extremist” clash with police.
Maybe the Bagatz and the Attorney General are the real extremist!
As a resident of a Torani settlement, I believe in the benefit of Torah study and I’m sensitive to the needs of all Frum Jews to avoid exposure to immodesty and the false values of secular society. However, nothing I saw in these videos convinced me these men are zealots for Frumkeit. A Jew cannot prevent Chilul Hashem by committing one.
Despite the many challenges serving in the IDF can have to one’s spiritual wellbeing, it is not exactly Russia during The Cantonist Decree!
Instead of calling women “shiksa” and behaving like clowns, they should educating others by example. How about sitting down near by with open Gemaras and learning together peacefully. Or daven Rosh Chodesh tefila outdoors and sing Hallel loudly. That would be a Kiddush Hashem.
The State is not Jewish.
If you notice, NO frum person “CLASHES”
If you notice, NO frum person “CLASHES” with the police. They are simply passively protesting by sitting.
These guys used to be extremists. Thanks to the AG, Supreme Court, Lapid etc and the brilliant example of how to protest by achim bneshek, they’re now considered mainstream by Chareidim
Why does YWN keep disparaging them as extremists? They are protesting for all Jews
Let’s hope no one gets hurt. Those who say they’d rather go to jail than the IDF may get their wish, but I doubt they’ll appreciate it, and likely only for a very limited time. OTOH, if their visit to the big house is during bein hazmanim, they won’t miss seder, only the tiyulim. B”H
Anyone with a black hat who protests is an extremist?
What word would ywn of used for Pinchus ben elozor ben Aaron hakohen if they were in business then. Pinchus had no precedent of someone in biblical times doing such an action in a public domain and to a goy
The first reaction would have certainly been epic chillul hashem.. Lunatic..
Watching the 1st of these 3 clips, I couldn’t help notice these grey uniformed people, that they were “round haired heads” in direct violation of לא תקיפו פאת ראשכם.
When someone is so far removed from such a basic tenet of our תורה, cannot be surprised by how they glorify in attacking religious Jews instead of attacking Arab terrorist thugs
“YWN readers should not ignore the “coincidence” of the first “operational” day of Chareidi recruitment coinciding with an unprecedented threat to the Jewish state of a coordinated Iranian and Hezbollah attack.”
That would. of course, be the “Zionist”/anti-Jewish – not “Jewish” – “State”.
They prepared for the arrival of bnei yeshivos by ensuring that only male soldiers who underwent special training will carry out the registration process.
Mamesh tzadikim…
Ah, this fills me with so much yiras shomayim and a love for the ways of Torah.
Is it possible for anyone who learns Torah even just a few minutes a day, to think the above words?
I have plenty of friends who served in gaza during this campain. I have friends who lost relatives HaShem Yiracheim there.
I feel the need to adress the contradictory headlines by YWN. Some days write like you represent the Frum world. Other times (like the above headline) you sound like a leftist.
Lets be clear, as per you own other headlines:
Right now all Gedloei Yisrael, the Sfardi , Litvish , and Chassidish all
aid the exact same thing- “DON’T SHOW UP to the draft office” . HaRav Dov Landau (as reported on this site) said the heter HaRav Shteinman gave to report to the draft office [to seek deferal’s] does not apply, making it inherently assur to do so.
right now there is no “degel hatorah” vs “Eitz”.
There is a clear war on the Yeshiva world. It’s clear that the deep state tzionim controlling the chain of command of the army, inteligance , and other security services went to sleep on simchas torah (after inspiring anarachy and sina by tiniokos shenishba that no nothing of torah nebach against us) to create a major threat to the country in the name of re-enforcing the courts power and opinions – and wage a war on Yeshivos chas v’shalom.
even after the pogrom on simchas torah , these eirev rav continue to create anarchry and chaos to deatabilize the country all in the name of this distorted agenda.
My irreligious reltives that live in EY are sick to their stomech because see this themselves. they told us “realize plenty of the fry see through these lies and undertand that this was a set-up”.
Plenty of tinokos shinishba understand that something very wrong is taking place.
the same police that we’re shev v’altaase for the eirev rav inspired protests are beating Bnei Torah becuase they learn – why are we exremists? are we suppossed to let them beat us?
can you please stop reporting this stuff? Please!
It’s the 9 days, lets daven that HaKadosh Baruch wake us all up to Torah and Mitzvos and live this life and that HKBH protect all the Yidden and that we see Geula already!
These are the days for us double down and be m’chazeik ourselves and really yearn that Acheinu Bnei Yisrael including every tinok shenishba that was deprived of everything jewish by these tzionim (and even they the minority the reshaim that were machshil the rabaim themselves should do teshuva).
I have heard through reliable sources that the Rebbi from Gur and the Belze Rebbe and also the Vishnitz Rebbe from Bnei Brak, all these 3 big Rabbonim, they all told their wonderful Chassidim that the best way to fight this recruitment is by learning in the Bais Medrash.
I guess these protesters belong to a small group or no group at all.
May all of those called complete their service shalem beguf u’benefesh, in the zechus of participating in the Mitzvah of protecting the Am Hashem haYoshev b’Tzion.
May all who are either being given bad information by their shamashim or who are too blind to see the truth be zocheh to having Hashem open their eyes so that they can see the truth.

Last week, these idiots were carrying signs that they are “willing to die” rather than sharing in the burden of protecting EY against attack from all directions. At some point, if they persist in attacking the security forces, give them their wish.
They aren’t extremists. Stop using that word. That’s a ridiculous Israeli word used to discount anybody who disagrees with you.
To Mr. Chaim Baruch. Please understand that Pinchas Hakohen went out with a spear to put an end to the plauge. Others were in the camp saying Shema and crying. Only Pinchas recieved Hashem’s blessing. There are times when action is needed.
@Mordechai Hayehudi – that’s exactly the argument being made in favor of Chareidim serving in the army – there are times when action is needed, where davening and learning are not enough. The Chareidi view has always been that no, we only need to learn and daven, and leave the rest to HKB”H. Reconciling that view to their need to go out and protest is indeed a conundrum for their worldview – they’re trying to have it both ways, and they’re tartei d’sasrei.

Please stay calm. When someone is physically assaulting or throwing rocks and fencing at the security forces and trying to force their way into buildings while screaming “Nazi” and “shiksa”, they are EXTREMISTS and terrorists and should be treated as such. Same for any leftists who cross the line from peaceful protests with signs to physical attacks on the police.
