A wave of protests by massive groups of ultra-orthodox Jews, known as Haredim, recently exploded across Israel. The protests resulted from the arrest of a young Haredi student who failed to show up at an army recruiting center at his designated time. The riots throughout the country blocked major thoroughfares and led to clashes between Israeli police and the protestors. Large portions of the Haredi population in Israel oppose serving in the Israeli army, believing that their sole role in the state is to study Torah.
