The Yeshiva Committee (Va'ad Hayeshi vot) has issued instructions to yeshiva students ahead of the Bein Hazmanim inter-semester break, according to reports. The instructions come amid the ongoing controversy over draft evasion and arrests of yeshiva students who do not report for military service. The specific content of the guidance has not been disclosed. The controversy has been a leading issue in Israeli society, with an editorial in Ma'ariv in June calling for a freeze on arrests until after the formation of a new government. The committee's instructions may signal guidance to students on how to handle the situation during the break.
