Since Israel's establishment in 1948, young Haredim have been exempt from the mandatory military service required of their non-Haredi counterparts.

This illustration is inspired by Eyal Golan song " Am Yisrael Chai"...The nation of Israel lives. A Torah is back drop to a praying solider with both a traditional ultra-orthodox black hat and IDF helmet.
