The Haredi Insurrection
Show notes
Is Israel’s social contract breaking under the weight of the ultra-Orthodox draft exemption?
In this episode, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi dissect the explosive civic and theological crisis surrounding the ultra-Orthodox draft exemption in Israel. They examine the historical roots of Haredi separatism, the post-October 7th need for additional soldiers, and the sense of mutual betrayal gripping secular and ultra-Orthodox communities.
