haredim

New polls found that the majority of Israelis believe haredim should be forced to draft to the IDF.

Does Israel need all those technological bells and whistles, high-tech fences, and super-sensitive sensor systems? Certainly. But it also needs more personnel.

RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS: As Israel continues to navigate the complexities of its societal fabric, this study offers a crucial insight into the mechanisms of conflict and perception among its people.

As the haredi community navigates new challenges and opportunities, its incremental engagement in both workforce participation and military service is becoming evident.

In 2002, only about a third of haredi men, and just over half of haredi women, were employed. Those numbers surged between 2003 and 2015.

Early Tuesday morning in a post on X, Chabad Director of Media Motti Seligson said a group of "extremist students" broke through a few walls in properties adjacent to the synagogue.

Soldiers from the Netzah Yehuda and haredi companies are fighting inside the Gaza Strip, the Nezah Yehuda spokesperson reported on Monday. 

Change will come when leaders teach that we share responsibility for the army, economy, and for the unity of the country, says Yossi Levy, CEO of the organization changing haredi views about IDF.

Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews have enlisted in the IDF since the start of the war, although the majority remain opposed to military service.

Changes are taking place in haredi society and many have been volunteering to help the war effort, but more needs to be done to ensure the country's burdens are shared more equally.
