2 rabbis ban service in mixed-gender units
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRabbis Zalman Melamed and Dov Lior issue a religious directive banning men from serving in mixed-gender units in the IDF.
The directive says the Israeli military “destroys modesty” and its guidelines are “directly opposed to the Torah.”
The ruling comes as lawmakers condemn controversial Rabbi Yigal Levinstein who said on Tuesday that military service makes women “crazy,” unattractive and strips them of their Jewishness.
