Out of 10,000 draft notices sent to bnei yeshivos in recent months, only 177 showed up at recruitment centers and enlisted in the IDF, a discussion in the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Thursday revealed.
Lt. Col. Avigdor Dikstein, the head of the Chareidi sector in the Manpower Directorate of the IDF, told the committee that the Military Police sent 1,066 arrest warrants to bnei yeshivos who failed to report to draft centers, 2,331 “12” orders – which means arrest within a month, and declared 265 as draft dodgers.
Those declared as draft dodgers will not be arrested by Military Police but are forbidden from leaving the country and are subject to arrest by Israel Police if they try to do so.
Kikar H’Shabbat reported that the army has been heavily harassing bnei yeshivos to enlist, partially through daily phone calls to parents and family members.

Ywn your headlines are for the garbage.
You say ‘heeding” then you show a pic of visibly frum soldiers saying “idf” as if it typifies it, and you say only 177 showed up. That’s 177 too many.
BH the multitudes did heed, but stop thinking in statistics. Every neshama that sells out to amalek is a tragedy.
Listen to Mordechai and don’t go places you shouldn’t, and Haman will soon be hanging.
May the wicked soon fall
Uncommon Sense, to refer to Jews as amalek demonstrates your lack or sense or sensibility. ask a competent Posek to tell you how to do teshuvah, if possible.
With them getting rid of the head judge there is still other judges and even if they get an Orthodox judge doesn’t mean they will stop the draft.
The psychological impact of them drafting bochrim is itself very grave, cause it means to live your life like a zionist
Now that they freed thousands of Arab terrorists including hundreds of Arab murderers they have room to put yeshiva boys in prison instead. There needs to be a revolution. There are many ways to do this.
@somejewiknow – don’t call Chareidi Gedolim wicked. They may be mistaken, but wicked is taking it too far.
an Israeli Yid
the comments _soooo frum.whatever happened to “deracheha darchei Noam chol nesivoseha SHALOM. is there an iq test to offer comments?you should enforce it
@anIsraeliYid
at least they are doing tshiva by trying to keep the bucherim away from the zionist army
Dr yidd would like you not to call them amalek
he prefers eirav rav sitra achra or ovdei avodah zara.
amazed? haman?avodas Zora? get a life.move to ramallah.also part of eretz yisroel.”acheichem yalchu lamilchama vatem tayshvu poh.” according to many this is a milchemes mitzva! get a life.
It should be noted that is someone was planning to leave the yeshiva anyways, this was a splendid opportunity to leave and can an immediate job. Having been in the IDF is an excellent credential that opens many doors in Eretz Yisrael (outside of the chareidi community).
A resident from Eilat said there aren’t
Kevers of holy ones here for .e to pray,,,the Rabbi of lubavitch said,,,go to the kever of any soldier of the I.D.F.,for they are the truly righteous ones of our generation !!!!so….join the i.d.f. !!!!!!!
@… The lubavitch Rabbi never said that a true lie
The satmer Rabbi said to ask a Holocaust survivor that put on tefillin
This going to the army is only to shmad if they wanted they would make yeshivos army next to the Gaza.
Believe the rabbi that says it is only to shmad nothing to do with …. Here we go again…. “Protecting the Jewish people” say that in Russian with a TV character
Good good listen to our gedolim and roshei yeshiva including rav ovadia ztl who said the same exact thing that his son says today which is keep away from the corrupted zionistic religious Destroyers and the people who run it. Anyone who talks against them will be with Korach one day down below, and it will be a lot more than the 12 months you think it will be
anIsraeliYid:
You’ve made that joke before.
I laughed the first time.
so the next time hamas, or hezbollah, or iran fires missiles at these geniuses, the idf will “heed the gedolim” and only intercept 2% of them. the rest can study and daven for protection.
When Moshe called – 20% (chumashim) responded. Here the percentage is way less. Of course, if you count Am Yisroel in total, the percentage is all right, just some do not want to be the part.
shloime > the idf will “heed the gedolim” and only intercept 2% of them.
Actually, Iron Dome intercepts based on predicted landing trajectory. So, if your neighborhood does not want to rely on IDF, let community leaders sign a release form and send to IDF so that they could skip protecting areas that are already protected by their bitachon. This will at least help IDF to save on munitions.
lbj, they are not any of the disgusting alternatives you proposed. Many are tzaddikim gemurim buried on Har Herzl. As RSZA ztl suggested, go there versus travelling to Meron. And many are bnai torah from hesder yeshivot. your attitude is disgraceful.
177 fell through the cracks? (Fell/cracked under pressure). Nah. Those men have the incredible zechus of joining the IDF and would’ve probably enlisted anyways. Those who continue learning 3 sedarim have even a bigher zchus of keeping the country on their shoulders.
druin:
He obviously never said that. In the Jewish religion and Torah, “righteousness” is a function of following Torah and mitzvos. Being shmaded in the Zionist army makes “righteousness” less likely, not more likely, but that’s almost besides the point.
DrZionist:
Please describe the Torah’s definition of a tzaddik gamur, and then mention names of those on Mt. Herzl who fit that description.
And Hesder is, of course, “Religious Zionist”, which is “idolatry and religion biShituf” as per Rav Elchonon Wasserman and all the rest of the gedolim.
AAQ:
When the eigel worshipers called would be a far better comparison to the Zionist shmad army of that and all three gimmel chamuros, than, liHavdil, Moshe Rabbeinu and his army of basically total tzaddikim (in the Jewish/Torah, not Zionist, sense of the word).
I am very VERY torn here: first of all, I like the idea of IDF for those who couldn’t learn well. second, the fact that 177 yidden went while being told NOT to is pure chutzpah. third, I really don’t understand why a chareidi IDF division wont solve the problem. fourth, I think if you listen to law more than Rabbanim you might as well just do all gimmel chamuros and get it over with…
HaKatan, your name aptly describes your intellectual prowess. Those IDF soldiers buried on Mt. Herzl are kedoshim per RSZA ZTL and Rav Gustman ztl, the youngest member of RCOG ztl’s beit din. ANYONE who considers hesder shituf is not a gadol but a katan.
