By Shahar Ilan, Haaretz Correspondent: More and more yeshiva students choosing Torah over IDF service
Talkback
Title:No more country?
Name:Ulf
City: State:
A country is a consequence of its population. Israel is turning rapidly religious fundamentalist, ignorant and defenseless. Scientists and students are migrating, Arab and religious Jews population is in continuous growth. What is a future for such a country? Defense won`t be possible on Sabbath and Jewish holidays, there will be less soldiers, less technology and less workers, but they will support more passive `Torah readers`. I think this happened around 2000 years ago, before the fall of Jerusalem... Good luck with the religious parties!
