MUST LISTEN: Yanki Farber – Will Charedi leaders agree to IDF draft quotas?

VINnews Podcast

Yanki Farber, the most well-connected Charedi journalist in Israel, joined the VIN Podcast for an exclusive interview about the recent Charedi draft discussions.

In this bombshell interview, Yanki shares an exclusive behind-the-scenes analysis of last week’s talks among Gedolim and Charedi leadership, regarding the Charedi draft, and specifically whether to make unprecedented concessions.

Yanki discusses the following:

• Are the Gedolim ready to allow the IDF to draft non-learning Charedim?
• Why has there been a shift in the position of Charedi leaders, who seem willing to make unprecedented concessions?
• Is there a concern that if the door is open for Charedi bochurim to serve, it will attract boys who should not be leaving yeshiva?
• The surprising benefits that at-risk Charedi boys have experienced when joining the IDF
• Would there be backlash if the Gedolim make concessions?
• Are the Gedolim all in agreement about the next move?
• If no Charedi draft deal is made (as Yanki predicts), what will the repercussions be? Will the yeshivas lose funding? Will the Likud coalition collapse?
