Saul Newman asked: is any one aware of a psak from charedi poskim, that
befeirush gives a hetter to either have an IDF, or to serve in it? for
males, of course>><br><br>I am confused as I dont know of any reason to oppose it. R. Elyashiv shlita and RSZA zt"l deal with many problems of the IDF.<br>The Tzitz Eliezer has a sefer on medinat yisrael. I dont have it with me but I would imagine he deals with many military questions.
<br>In the shiur of R. Zilberstein in Bnei Brak he occasionally deals with with IDF questions again with no hint of any problems.<br>Of course ROY has many such questions in his seforim.<br><br>I would be shocked if anyone except some extreme groups expects a modern Israel to live without an army. Questions about
<br>specific issues do not remove the evident need for the IDF<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Eli Turkel
