For charedim who claim that Bnei Yeshiva get a Levite exemption, I wonder how they explain why Shevet Yissacher had to serve in the army.

My daughter told me about a conversation between a Charedi woman and Gadi Eisenkot. The woman said something to the effect, "We're afraid to send our children to the army, because it might influence them that they won't come back as observant Jews."

Gadi Eisenkot responded: "I just lost a son in Gaza. You're concerned that your son might not come back as an observant Jew. Other mothers are concerned that their son might not come back at all."
