This week, the Israeli army will start sending out conscription orders to ultra-Orthodox men because their status as yeshiva students is no longer valid. Recruitment is a sensitive issue for the Netanyahu government, which faces social and legal pressures. Although ultra-Orthodox have enjoyed exemptions from military service for decades, the system has been challenged in court and now the army will send out 54,000 conscription orders, ensuring conditions for maintaining the community's distinct lifestyle.
