1. A bunch of hooey
Yaakov Adelstein ,   Kiryat Sefer   (06.12.18)
All the talk about integrating haredi into the work force is a bunch of hooey. For example, I am a kollel guy that wanted to be a civil engineer.. applied to Macon Lev.. which announced a special program for haredi. . only to be told that the council of higher education rejected this. .. for ridiculous reasons. (not enough teachers to teach haredim (maybe the council thinks they have to speak yiddish or something like that).. . doors to jobs that I apply to are closed. by absurd excuses.. let's cut to the chase.. the government.. makes pronouncements for election votes.. and delivers gonist..
2. TO HAREDI GUYS
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (06.12.18)
Yo....don't be a yellow fellow, put yo hat on the rack ,change your clothes from black ,wear green ,you know what I mean, army green , go vent your spleen ,like a mean machine, you will have fun when you get to play with yo gun.
3. Not so simple
David   (06.12.18)
The army isn't fit for the ultra orthodox lifestyle so in essence the government is trying to force the religious to abandon their level of orthodoxy.
4. To Daniel Ratner
Bart Cubbins ,   Israel   (06.12.18)
Exactly the point. If Moses would be here commanding us to join his holy army of Hashem, every haredi male would be trying to get in. Since the leaders of the state and the IDF are, how shall we put it, of lesser stature than Moses, your quote in inapplicable.
5. "High" Salaries?
Mike ,   Givat Zeev   (06.12.18)
Who told the committee that haredim are getting "high" salaries? That's false.

Anyway why is the job market insistent on army or "national" service? Most olim don't have it, and if they are qualified, it won't make a difference. What does "national service" have to do with needing a job and income? Who spoke from the mountaintop and created that value as a given? Nobody in the US has that.
