The IDF sent 1,000 of 7,000 draft orders to Bnei Yeshivos on Sunday following Attorney-General Gali Baharav Miara’s order last week.
The Chareidi Yated Ne-eman newspaper published a front-page article reiterating the instructions of the Gedolim to bnei yeshivos to ignore the draft orders.
The article stated that bnei yeshivos “should act according to the instructions in HaGaon HaRav Landau’s letter and as was clarified in a chizzuk talk at Yeshivas Mir: ‘The matter is clear. We know full well that no ben yeshivah or avreich will go to the army under any circumstances or in any manner.’
The Chassidish Mevaser newspaper on Sunday slammed newly appointed Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, who didn’t cancel the 7,000 draft orders that were approved by former defense minister Yoav Gallant, like the Chareidi parties were hoping.
However, it should be noted that it is unclear if Katz had the authority to cancel the orders, which were approved by Gallant following the order of Baharav-Miara.

Since the army can no longer trust marxist lefties who are throwing flares at the compound of Bibi Netanyohu, it is no wonder that they are resorting to their only other option:- Pick on some right wing ישיבה בחורים who shall never collaborate with these left wing elite marxists.
Also time to release Yigal Amir, who is so not a left wing marxist,that he would be very safe to have out on the streets of Israel. Also so less dangerous than all these savage terrorists who keep being releases in swaps.
Torah is under siege – Israel is under siege – Do you see the connection?
A proper analysis of the סוגיא would show that the פשטות הוא שיש כאן מצוה גמורה של מלחמה וזהו חיוב גמור maybe there is a counter issue that it’s a risk of שמד but it’s hard to believe that this is without exception אסור because the metzius is many do remain frum and not only basically frum but ודאי שמים ומדקדקי הלכה. In the hesder ישיבות. I am a lakewood yungerman with Bmg semicha and the emes is I know there are hesder yeshiva graduates that are גאוני עולם more than me. This is the words of this article “The matter is clear. We know full well that no ben yeshivah or avreich will go to the army under any circumstances or in any manner.’” 3 things not correct #1: even if correct this is not פשוט. Number 2: there are a number of metzuyanim from Chevron yeshiva, Ponivesh yeshiva that did enlist already, this is part of the reason the Roshie yeshiva are very absolute about this because they know if the door opens even the best guys will go because they saw this in small numbers even when the door is closed. #3: under any circumstances in any manner is very much a doctrine but is totally not the halacha view of this topic.
Its also not Clear that the Chazon Ish held this way in the current situation. 2 differences one is that he wasn’t talking during a prolonged war. Also in those days the olam hatorah was in a more serious danger of losing everyone. Is that the same today?
Dear dis honest ..
if there is a safeik that your Yiddishkeit will tank it is ossur gamor to go there.
Going to the idf is a lot more than a safeik it is at minimum a strong likelihood
You did not absorb in bmg any of the ruach of an emese makom Torah
To honest spirit its very obvios and clear that the chazzon ish would not aprrove even one word of your real stupidity and bashing the gedolay hador.
Honest Spirit – kudos on actually thinking for yourself and going through the inyanim here based on actual metziyus, rather than the falsehoods others quote here.
