Why Don’t Yeshiva Boys Serve in the IDF?

What’s really behind the divide between the Israeli army and the yeshiva world?
 In this powerful first episode, Rabbi Shoff dives deep into one of the most emotional and complex questions facing the Jewish people today: Why do some fight in the army while others stay in yeshiva?

He explores both perspectives — the soldiers’ sacrifice and the Torah learners’ devotion — with honesty, empathy, and depth. This is not a debate; it’s an invitation to understanding, unity, and compassion among Am Yisrael.
