And I believe that they did the right thing by going into the army and participating in the defense of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Full-time Torah study anchors ultra-Orthodox beliefs<\/h2>\n<p>In Hebrew, the ultra-Orthodox are called Haredim. The term was first used in the late 19th century by several rabbis and is derived from the Prophet Isaiah\u2019s description of being \u201cfearful or astounded by the word of God,\u201d according to Rabbi Beryl Gershenfeld.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod\u2019s word is not supposed to be intuitive; you have to look deeply,\u201d said Gershenfeld, who grew up in Philadelphia but has lived in Israel, studying and teaching the Torah, for half a century. \u201cUnderstanding the Torah is the crucial mission of life.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<!-- AP \"Read More\" embed (place mid-article) --><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He runs two Jerusalem yeshivas \u2014 or seminaries \u2014 for ultra-Orthodox boys and men.<\/p>\n<p>Such institutions are \u201cthe beating heart of the community,\u201d said Rabbi Heshy Grossman, an administrator at a prominent yeshiva in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Inside the residential yeshiva, students aged 17-22 in white shirts and black pants spend long days praying, studying and discussing sacred texts and commentaries. Etl Lovy, 22, is completing his five years of study at the age when families start matchmaking for marriage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a lot of belief in what we\u2019re learning,\u201d he said a day before the start of summer break.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Torah guides every moment of daily life<\/h2>\n<p>Lovy enthusiastically described how days begin at 7 a.m. with a prayer and continue with Talmud studies until late evening, learning \u201call commands from God and how to get close to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As he took a sip of water on the hot day, he whispered a prayer. \u201cEverything comes from the one above,\u201d he explained with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>For the ultra-Orthodox, each commandment and each good deed is not just a God-given obligation, but a way to find fulfillment and holiness.<\/p>\n<p>And the highest one is studying God\u2019s word \u2014 especially for men. Women receive a broader education in secular subjects like math, and they are expected to work while also raising large families. Ultra-Orthodox Jews believe many forms of birth control are opposed to God\u2019s will, a view held by other conservative faiths but not all branches of Judaism. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/topmovingpross.com\/?p=2712\">South Korean and US militaries shorten drills by about half after Trump ordered a reduction<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy life is not about making money, or building a nice house,\u201d said Lovy, who plans to continue to study the Torah while his future wife works.<\/p>\n<p>For the ultra-Orthodox, \u201cevery second of life is devoted to God,\u201d said Rabbi Emanuel Feldman, adding that other Jews will either follow suit or \u201cdisappear into the mainstream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Orthodox are fighting assimilation,\u201d said Feldman, who in his late 90s has witnessed the growth of the practice and still writes columns for a popular Haredi weekly magazine. \u201cIf you don\u2019t study Torah and observe the commands, you become like any other Mediterranean country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the ultra-Orthodox follow civil law so long as it doesn\u2019t interfere with religious belief, such as forbidding or \u201caffecting\u201d the study of the Torah.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The ultra-Orthodox Jews\u2019 complicated relationship with Israel<\/h2>\n<p>Much of the Torah studies tradition was lost during the Holocaust. When the state of Israel was founded shortly after, it gave ultra-Orthodox scholars special rights so they could rebuild, said Shlomit Ravitsky Tur-Paz, director of the Israel Democracy Institute\u2019s Religion and State Program.<\/p>\n<p>That included an exemption from the military draft, originally for a few hundred scholars and in later decades broadened by conservative governments to everyone who wanted to engage in Torah learning full-time, she said. The same body of men was also largely outside the workforce.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But the ultra-Orthodox have grown rapidly, outpacing other Israelis. Ravitsky Tur-Paz estimates they will be about 25% of the population by 2050, and about 40% of the potential army draft. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsraelis aren\u2019t concerned about the Haredi way of life; they\u2019re concerned about their way of life,\u201d she said, adding that includes everything from welfare tax impacts to how much time non-Haredi Israelis might need to serve in the reserves. \u201cThe question is, who\u2019s paying the price for your choice of life? This has become the issue everyone is talking about.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>For many ultra-Orthodox, there\u2019s no debate \u2014 they\u2019re fulfilling their individual obligation to God, and nothing else matters more. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe importance of the Torah is a genuine feeling, and not just an escape, not just an excuse,\u201d Rosenblum said. \u201cHaredi world will put Torah first, and then Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fewer than 10% of ultra-Orthodox men reaching the conscription age of 18 enlist, according to a parliamentary committee, and they usually join separate units accommodating their religious practices. Reacting to a recent <span>bill protecting the ultra-Orthodox<\/span> from draft evasion prosecution, the Israeli army\u2019s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, called such exemptions \u201cinconceivable\u201d while troops are being asked for \u201cunprecedented sacrifice.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But most ultra-Orthodox rabbis are adamant about their youths\u2019 exemption from the draft, to avoid \u201cdiluting their piety\u201d at a critical age. Other Jewish men in Israel are required <span>to serve<\/span> for nearly three years, and women for two years. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudying the Torah is itself a spiritual protection,\u201d Feldman added \u2014 an argument wearing thin with many Israelis, especially since about 1,000 troops have been killed fighting Hamas in Gaza and <span>Hezbollah militants<\/span> in Lebanon since the 2023 attack.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he had any qualms about his peers serving as soldiers while he devotes his life to studies, Lovy, the yeshiva student, said he prays \u201call the time\u201d for soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we think because we believe in the Bible, we believe this is the right way to live. We don\u2019t apologize,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m doing what God wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP\u2019s <span>collaboration<\/span> with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.
