A vast
majority of Israelis have repeatedly expressed their support for integrating
Haredis into the military. They also support (if not with similar zest) their
integration into the workforce. But it’s not clear whether they’ve considered
the long-term risks.

of recent government proposals widely viewed in the hareidi world as a threat
to Torah study, hareidi-religious leader Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman issued a

imperative to ignore the discourse of hatred that defines the ultra-Orthodox as
ignorant parasites, and it is equally imperative to ignore the discourse of
hatred that defines the secular as religion haters and enemies of Judaism.

is the time for responsible politics that sees drafting the Haredim while at
the same time taking into account the values that they hold most dear as two
vital sides of the same national coin.

Now that they
are nearing 20% and growing fast, Israel must either integrate them or collapse
under their weight. Drafting them is the first and biggest step toward doing
this.
Many, perhaps most, Haredim realize this, even
if few will say so in public. Very few of them may want to serve in the army;
but how many non-Haredim, if given the choice, would want to serve, either?

If you
succeed in reaching an agreement on such an important tissue, you will be able
to reach agreements with the haredim on other matters as well – and certainly
promote your agenda. If you choose not to follow this path, you will be
responsible for a civil war, should it break out.

If the
government declares all-out ideological war on the chareidi world and insists
on the draft of 18-year-old yeshiva students, then all the trends towards
greater chareidi participation in the IDF, and in the private economy as well,
will likely be reversed.

I recall
entering the IDF draft office for a skills assessment exam. The army personnel
were shocked to see a Chareidi girl interested in enlisting. One of the men administering
the exam told me I was crazy and that I should apply for an exemption before it
was too late.

The
ultra-Orthodox in Israel chose the political arena because they want to enjoy
the best of both worlds. Now that there is a possibility that they will be
treated like any other player, they yell “Gevalt! A community in Israel is
being boycotted!” But this is not true. No one is boycotting the haredi
community.

co-leader Aryeh Deri looks set to record his second failure since reentering
politics last year: His enthusiastic support for Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, a key element of his strategy throughout the election campaign, now
looks like a losing bet on a horse that’s likely to buck him off, together with
all the other ultra-Orthodox representatives in the Knesset.

With Prime

parties, ultra-Orthodox institutions stand to lose huge sums of state funding.

…
Netanyahu may not be eager to face down the politically powerful Haredi parties
with whom he has long partnered. He is thought not to trust Yesh Atid or
Habayit Yehudi, whose leaders could compete with him for leadership of the
country, and may need Shas and United Torah Judaism’s support against them in
the future.

“This
is a way to generate change in Haredi society – quietly and from the
bottom,” he says. “Our three yeshivas could put out 600 graduates a
year, all of them agents of change. They will return to their communities, to
the sudden discovery that they’re not such bad marriage prospects after all –
since they keep a Haredi lifestyle and can also support themselves. This is the
way to transmit the message that learning a trade is something good. It’s a
foot in the door,” says Peleg.

But for
now, this solution is tolerated only for the drop-outs. Most Haredi youth won’t
study anywhere but a full-fledged yeshiva. And even this limited program for a
small population must stay out of the limelight, with no mention of civics
studies or army service. That’s the only way the rabbis are willing to go along
with it.

In any case, we cannot
assume that dealing with the problem requires flexibility (or “submission”)
only from the Haredim, and it is important to understand that the non-Haredi
community, in overcoming one of the challenges, will likely pay a price that it
had not necessarily anticipated in relation to the others.

ending the all-encompassing government support system for those not even
attempting to get a modern education or earn a living. The “world of Torah”
will be strengthened, and Israeli society healed.
