1. A shinning example well done
Haim ,   TA   (07.09.13)
2. Offer the same opportunities to Haredim
Tim ,   Brighton   (07.09.13)
all over the world So many with brilliant minds who are often discouraged from a Mainstream University Education might find it attractive to undertake University Education in Sciences and Technology in a Haredi Friendly Setting in Israel
3. Gemara studies sharpens the mind..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.09.13)
Tora +Science makes wonders. Secular and Haredi children deserve the same opportunities.
4. You have to admit that charedim with their gemara heads
Kalman   (07.09.13)
are the smartest around.
5. Unlike secular Israelis, ALL of S. Korea study Gemara
Kalman   (07.09.13)
in schools. They did so after investigating why orthodox Jews are so brilliant and came to the conclusion that it is because they study Talmud. How long will it take for Israel's Education Minister to realize what orthodox Jews knew all along and even non Jews in Korea understood.
6. Good work people.
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.09.13)
Very happy for you and for the people of Israel. May you go on to succeed in every walk in life.
7. Good work but....
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (07.09.13)
First of thank you all for the great work done. I wish more and more hareidim join army in many different field. I want to know how many woman were capable of doing the same job but were excluded to give hareidim this chance. I want hareidim to join army and share their responsibility but not on the expense of woman rights.
8. wonderful news
Ilana   (07.09.13)
so great to read such news.
9. What a disgrace
Jo Jo   (07.09.13)
Get back into the beth hamedrash and stop infiltrating the secular army. Don't turn your back on religion just to placate the zionist interlopers. Buttul Torah is the worst crime. Saving Israel is not at all a religious duty.
10. haredi good work
iletzter ,   ta   (07.09.13)
what a stupid talk back ! If there is already some good thing to say about haredis- this idiot needs to come and spoil it ! Have you you asked the same about the developers in Rafael ? I suppose an idiot is an idiot.
11. Already in the army
sena ,   Israel   (07.09.13)
These chareidim were already in the army before Lapid. He had nothing to do with their enlistment. Many Chareidim go to the army and do their share of work. Lapid is just ruining things.
12. Exactly why Khareidi rabbis dead-set against it!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   netzarim.co.il   (07.09.13)
These soldiers are learning the value of education and knowledge -- can no longer be kept like mushrooms. Kol ha-kavod to these Torah-keeping soldiers.
13. Israel is losing out on some brilliant minds
A.C.   (07.09.13)
because of their irrational imposing of military duty.
14. Where is Charles Petah Tikvah?
(07.09.13)
15. 3 . give proofs !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.09.13)
How many of those "sharp minds" were awarded a Nobel prize ? How does it come that the poorest are amongst those "sharp minds" ? Now , those two were highly motivated , selected after many exams , studied , and with results , great results . Lets hope that they now see that their charedi "life" is worthless , that they become TRUE 21st century people . A sad news , Dr Ch. Mahler has died .
16. 3 , Give proofs TRY # 2

17. #12 Wrong. Charedi Rabbis are not against charedim working
Here's your answer ,   Paqid   (07.09.13)
as you can see, they're working all over the world except for Israel where they cannot work unless they spend several years in a corrupt immoral anti Torah G-dless military. This is what the Rabbis are against. If the IDF will be run strictly according to Torah, the Rabbis will view the army differently. In the meantime, since religious Jews must learn Torah every spare more of the day and may not sit idle, they have to continue in Yeshiva.
18. Nice to read good news
Az   (07.11.13)
once in a while. And it certainly is more of an opportunity than anything else, to actually follow the principles instead of just talking about them.
