Description

This shiur discusses the question of which members of Klal Yisrael are required to join a war effort. The sources are discussed in light of the modern day question of chareidim joining tzahal. Topics such as whether or not learning Torah should serve as an exemption, the Halachik status of the current war in Israel, and the question of women fighting in the army are discussed. The shiur is meant to provide Torah sources on this topic in order to provide a Halachik perspective. However, this shiur is not meant to arrive at any one definitive conclusion.
