In this episode, Founder and Director Shmuel von Weisl sits down with a Haredi commander from the IDF’s groundbreaking new Haredi combat unit, the Hashmonaim Brigade, to discuss the historic tensions between the Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) community and the IDF, as well as exciting new developments that promise to transform that relationship.
Please note: This episode was recorded one week prior to the recent terrorist attack in Jerusalem, which tragically claimed six innocent lives. The conversation has become even more relevant in light of the fact that two Haredi men courageously confronted the terrorists, preventing further bloodshed. One was a civilian who had received his gun license just a year ago; the other, a commander in the very same Hashmonaim unit featured in this episode.What do you think?
