The Supportive Wives Of Haredim in The IDF (video)

The Supportive Wives Of Haredim in The IDF

  1. Those interviews seem to support the idea that many (most?) who enroll in nachal charedi, aren't charedi (but want a more guaranteed religious environment).

    Though I wonder whether the more strictly charedi wives (a) might not attend tekesim and (b) might not want publicity that her husband is in the army vs. learning, so they'd be much less likely to interview.

  2. Good point. The women interviewed didn't look quite chareidi. However, the men shown in the background in the videos do look chareidi. So I guess it's the the fact that the more chareidi wives either weren't there or weren't willing to be interviewed.

    Anyways, it's great that this exists and is getting publicity, so that the trend will increase. I see chareidi soldiers in uniform fairly often; in fact, I just saw one on my way home. I'm happy that once-sensitive issues are being resolved, even if there's still a lot more work to be done.
