Religious girls protest pressure to join Israeli army The Education Ministry wants to fund groups that guide religious women into the military rather than perform national service.
Pre-military yeshiva head says army service drives female soldiers ‘crazy’ Rabbi Yigal Levinstein, who runs the Bnei David academy in the Eli settlement, also said the religious women are "not Jewish when they come out" of their military service.
Sephardi chief rabbi: Women can do the laundry in the army, not serve in combat Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef said that if Jews in Israel followed the Torah, "many [military] tragedies would be averted.”
