Israel desperately needs more soldiers, but bringing thousands of Haredim into the IDF could transform far more than the size of the army. Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer, a Haredi rabbi who himself enlisted after October 7, explains why Israel’s old approach to Haredi military service is breaking down and why a new Haredi political movement is challenging decades of conventional thinking. From clashes over women serving alongside religious soldiers to draft exemptions, Supreme Court intervention and what he calls the “politics of poverty,” you’ll learn how this emerging movement wants to redefine the relationship between Haredim and the Jewish state, and why its vision of partnership could reshape both Israeli politics and the IDF.
