Blow To IDF: 12 Hesder Roshei Yeshivos Forbid Talmidim From Serving In Tank Units

Twelve leading Roshei Yeshivos of Hesder issued a joint statement on Tuesday declaring that they are forbidding their talmidim from enlisting in the IDF’s Armored Corps in the next draft cycle.

The move comes in response to the IDF’s decision to advance a pilot program integrating female soldiers into tank units. The program, expected to begin with the November draft, was advanced following the High Court ruling requiring the IDF to integrate female soldiers into tank units this year.

In a letter sent to the IDF, the Rabbanim wrote: “We, the undersigned, Roshei Yeshivos Hesder, whose students are serving on the front lines of the war, view the High Court’s decision requiring the IDF to integrate female soldiers into tank units with great severity.”

“We are pained by the weak response of the government and the IDF, which expressed no opposition to this move. As Roshei Yeshivos, we are fully aware of the weight of the responsibility placed upon our shoulders. The IDF is the army of Am Yisrael, and the kedushah of the military camp is the foundation of the IDF’s spirit and its success in defeating the enemy. Integrating female soldiers into tank crews alongside male soldiers has both spiritual and operational consequences that harm combat effectiveness.”

“After careful and extensive deliberation, we have concluded that service in the Armored Corps is prohibited according to halacha, and therefore we will not send our students to serve in the Armored Corps beginning with the next draft cycle,” they wrote.

Why, after nearly 30 years, have they not addressed the issue of missionary intrusion into IDF bases? For that matter, what of the IDF's active recruitment of gay men and women? How is that different from mixing men and women? And not the least of which is the issue of ensuring army food is kosher. Throughout its history this has not been a priority for the upper echelons who despise our Torah.  What you will see below is going on 24/7, 365 days a year for years and years and years...

How Can This Be Kosher?

This is the other war (aside from the military one) which I don't think that most of our people even understand is being waged against us - the War on the Torah and Jewish Identity.  If you care at all, you can't keep choosing the same "leaders" who not only are letting it go on, but who are themselves actively promoting it!!!

HASHEM YERACHEM ALEYNU!!!!!
