Two weeks before the elections, seven bereaved family members who lost their dearest in the Swords of Iron war gathered at the war memorial and victims of hostilities memorial in Jerusalem and called for the enlistment of Haredim into the IDF. The families demand that the next government implement concrete enlistment measures, emphasizing that service and Torah study are not contradictory. Efi Shoham, father of Staff Sergeant Yuval Shoham, said that "it is unthinkable that an entire sector does not bear the burden." Eden Dayan, sister of Staff Sergeant Ro'i Dayan, called on the next government "to implement enlistment for everyone." Rachel Goldberg, widow of Captain Rabbi Avraham Yosef Goldberg, criticized the enlistment outlines in the last Knesset and Knesset members who "weaken in the face of the bullying of Haredi activists." The families emphasize that enlistment is a tool for connection and unity among the people.
