We’re discussing one of Israel’s most contentious debates: the military draft exemption for the ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, community. Since Israel's founding, Haredim have been largely exempt from mandatory military service, a policy initially intended for a small group of Torah scholars but now encompassing tens of thousands of men.
With Israel facing a multifront war and a strained IDF, the debate over this exemption has shifted from one of fairness to one of sustainability. How is this impacting Israeli society, the military, and the future of the State? Aviva Klompas is joined by Dr. Michael Oren to unpack the historical roots, current tensions, and broader implications.
Key Topics Covered:
-The history of the Haredi draft exemption
-How the IDF’s manpower shortages and increasing demands on reservists are fueling resentment toward the Haredi community
-The role of Israel’s Supreme Court in pushing for draft reforms
-Broader implications for Israeli society, national security, and economic sustainability
