Rabbis establish a hotline for religious soldiers

Senior rabbis and yeshiva heads convened at the Sderot Yeshiva and launched a hotline to provide religious soldiers with halachic backing and legal assistance, against the backdrop of the struggle over the sanctity of the camp in the IDF. The conference was attended by prominent rabbis, including Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira, Rabbi David Fendel, Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, Rabbi Tzvi Kostiner, Rabbi David Dudkevich, and Rabbi Yigal Levenstein. The rabbis discussed halachic issues in military service and the need to expand support for soldiers. The head of the Sderot Yeshiva, Rabbi David Fendel, emphasized the importance of organized struggle and independent initiative. Rabbi Dror Aryeh from the 'Oz BaNamer' headquarters said there is a consensus on the issue and stressed the need to create a common language with the IDF. The headquarters of 'Women Warriors for the Sanctity of the Camp' in the Chotam organization stated that there is no address in the army on this matter and they welcome the establishment of the hotline.
