Reply To: Israeli chareidi draft bill

gavra at work: May I also add that, for the majority of the last sixty five years, the exemption of bachurei yeshiva was not a law, but explicitly done by the defense minister. In other words, there never was (until the Tal law)any law exempting yeshivaleit. It was always at the discretion of the defense minister. The Tal law tried to codify this but was found unconstituional, hence the present law.
