The ways of the Lord are upright - also in recruitment | Rabbi Yoel Ben-Nun
Whoever is not willing to allow enlistment for young Torah scholars, who have combat fitness and want to enlist - his Torah is distorted.
Assessment
A prominent religious figure challenges the hardline anti-conscription stance within parts of the Haredi world, arguing that Torah values are distorted when they prevent willing, capable young men from serving. This internal critique signals a growing rift between those who see army service as compatible with Torah life and those who reject it entirely. The coming months will test whether this view gains traction in policy debates or remains a minority position.
