JERUSALEM (VINnews) — A dramatic agreement is being developed between the Gur chasidic community in Israel and the Defense Ministry. In the framework of the agreement, 250 young members of the chasidic group will enlist in the police force and in return the rest of the chasidim will receive an exemption from IDF service, according to a Galei Tzahal report.

Discussions regarding the possible deal have been taking place between senior Defense Ministry officials and Rabbi Avrohom Binyamin Zilberberg, a close associate of the Gerer Rebbe and one of the influential members of the community.

Last week the final meeting took place at a Defense Ministry office in Tel Aviv in which the ministry agreed to exempt the members of the chasidic group from age 18-26, numbering several thousand, and in return 250 members will join the police force.

This is good for thephysically rough police force the Israeli Mishtara, Ger has proven that they are an asset. They’ve performed their ניסיון for the job amicably about two years ago.

Why not include any other government agency jobs – Provide training and give them a desk job working for the government.

Yes – they issued a denial but the one that issued the denial is the one in Ger that can least be trusted, So the denial is not worth much anyway.
If the media printed the story about the deal, it is probably very true.
