Haredim Protest Military Conscription

Lesson Brief NRG
On February 2, NRG reported on the recent demonstrations caused by ultra-orthodox seminary students. The students were demonstrating against being forced to report to military recruiting offices, an issue Israel has been dealing with for some time. Four people were arrested during the protests, among them the head of one of the ultra-orthodox seminaries. The demonstrations are a sign of the growing rift within Israel's ultra-orthodox community regarding Israel's military conscription.
