Following the 'Rabbis' Letter' opposing yeshiva students' service in the Armor Corps due to the High Court's decision to integrate female combat soldiers, the Hesder Yeshiva Union clarified in an official letter that the union's council is in 'ongoing dialogue with the IDF' and that yeshiva heads are 'making every effort to enable the enlistment of yeshiva students in the Armor Corps this coming August.' The letter was sent to all Hesder yeshiva heads and signed by members of the union's council. The rabbis wrote that 'the letter published in the media in recent days regarding enlistment in the Armor Corps is not a letter from the council, the issuance of such a letter contradicts our position.'
