Chikli addresses the Haredi public: "Leave the arguments behind and leap forward"

Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli addressed the issue of recruiting Haredim today (Wednesday), urging the Haredi public and yeshiva students to enlist and assist Israel in the war. In a post he wrote on social media, Chikli also presented the Haredi brigade in the IDF, sharing a video of the brigade commander, Avinoam Emuna, who invited the Haredim to get in touch and enlist in the brigade.

Chikli began his remarks by quoting the Book of Nehemiah: "And they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem... and we set a guard against them day and night." And I said... "Fight for your brothers, your sons and daughters, your wives and homes."

"The war we are engaged in has proven the nature of the enemy before us, his aspirations, and his intentions." "The war before us is not a war of choice," said the minister. "The establishment of the Haredi battalion is a tremendous announcement, and a historic opportunity to take part in a just war against forces of evil and impurity."

"I call upon you, my young Haredi brothers: act like Nachshon ben Amminadav," he added. "Leave the arguments behind, leap forward, and lead the change." The people of Israel truly and sincerely need you.
