The mother of a Haredi lone soldier who immigrated to Israel and enlisted in the IDF flew in especially for his beret ceremony. The soldier is assigned to a significant role in Lebanon, as reported by the source covering Iran developments.
The mother of a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) lone soldier who immigrated to Israel and enlisted in the IDF flew in from abroad to attend his beret ceremony, according to the source covering the Iran front. In a statement, she expressed profound pride that her son chose to make aliyah and serve, calling him part of the national effort of the Jewish people to live securely. She noted that just last week the unit held tests in Gemara and Halacha, highlighting the combination of military service and Torah study. The soldier himself said: 'My brother learns and I fight — we are the connection of the people of Israel in its glory.' The channel reported that the soldier is now entering a very important role in operations in Lebanon.
This story follows previous reports from The Zioneer on the pride and concern of parents whose children serve in combat roles during the current conflict. The Haredi enlistment track in the Netzach Yehuda battalion has seen growing numbers even amid ongoing debate over military conscription for the ultra-Orthodox community.
