Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel Must Now Enlist for Military Service | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Thousands of Jewish ultra-Orthodox men clashed with police in central Jerusalem. This comes after Israel's highest court issued an order for them to begin enlisting for military service. Military service is mandatory for most Jewish men and women in Israel. Politically powerful ultra-Orthodox parties won exemptions for their followers to skip military service. Instead, they study in religious seminaries. Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, joins to tell us why military service is compulsory in Israel and why the ultra-Orthodox community had been exempt from it until now. Rabbi Menken shares what the reason is behind the change and why now. He discusses some of the concerns for the Haredi community when it comes to mandatory military service and how it could change their lives or lifestyle. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
