An Israeli rabbi calls for immediate recruitment of ultra-Orthodox Jews. Rabbi Shai Biron: Religious people volunteering to participate in prayers for those fighting in the field is no longer enough.

Biron wrote that the Haredim know that reserve soldiers currently constitute more than half of the army’s deaths in Gaza, and he proposed what he called a “flexible partnership” to make the effort to recruit them successful. According to this partnership, Peron proposes to allow the ultra-orthodox to have their own brigades, which can be formed without any outside influence while continuing their lives as “haredim”
