Students at Mir Yeshiva gathered for an emergency assembly on the conscription crisis, with Rabbi Betzalel Berman, director of the Yeshiva Committee's appeals department, detailing the full scope of orders and directives for the period, according to Israel Kohn (Kikar HaShabbat).
The Mir Yeshiva, one of the largest yeshivas in Israel, convened an emergency gathering this afternoon for its students regarding the ongoing conscription crisis. Rabbi Betzalel Berman, a senior figure at the Yeshiva Committee — the umbrella body representing non-state religious seminaries — briefed students on the full range of orders and instructions relevant to the period. The conscription of yeshiva students remains a deeply divisive issue in Israeli politics, with the government seeking to expand enlistment amid coalition tensions and Haredi opposition. Details of specific directives discussed at the assembly have not yet been published. The event underscores the sense of urgency within the Haredi community as new enlistment regulations take shape.
