Record Charedi Enlistment Day in the IDF


 More than 530 ultra-Orthodox men enlisted in the IDF on Sunday, marking the largest single-day haredi draft in the military’s history.

Over 230 joined combat units, with others entering support roles, reflecting a growing trend of shared national responsibility as the IDF expands frameworks that allow haredi soldiers to serve while preserving their religious way of life.

Haredi Jews, often called ultra-Orthodox, are deeply religious Jews  who seek to preserve a traditional, God-fearing way of life with strict adherence to Jewish law. They are commonly identified by conservative dress and include several sub-groups, with some gradually integrating into Israeli society while others remain resistant to modern influences.

"I don't need to take a poll! 20 yeas ago I lived in Monsey, and the first time I heard the term the "Charedie" term was the name of the Satmar Shul on Maple Avenue called "Chareidim"

The IDF is pushing for a Charedi Draft Law to draft members of Satmar Shul on Maple Avenue??
No. They are actively seeking frum Chassidish Litvish and Sefardi Jews.
So actually you do need to take a poll - sorry bro
