Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Meir, founder of the Shvut Yisrael yeshiva, has criticized the haredi community's approach to the debate over drafting those who do not actively study Torah. In an interview, he argued that the current strategy is both morally and legally flawed, emphasizing that not all members of the community should be exempt from military service. While acknowledging the importance of Torah study and the fears within the haredi community about the potential negative influence of military service, Rabbi Ben Meir suggested that these concerns can be addressed if there is genuine willingness to find solutions.
