It's also a privilege, because IDF service involves many mitzvot - including saving lives (which is both a positive mitzvah, i.e. <i>piku'ach nefesh</i>, and a negative mitzvah, i.e. “<i>lo taamod al dam rei’echa</i>”), inhabiting/settling the Land of Israel, and others.Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-61391421784447482452013-07-03T00:09:13.533+03:002013-07-03T00:09:13.533+03:00'What’s the source/halachic justification for ...'What’s the source/halachic justification for not serving in the IDF?'<br />It is a controversy I have never understood.
