They are tzadikim who have literally dedicated their lives to Am Yisrael, Eretz Yisrael, and Torat Yisrael and are extremely serious about all the mitzvot, including areivut.<br /><br />In any event, the hesdernikim certainly don't need me or anyone else to defend them. But you should know that a significant number of so-called secular soldiers not only joined the beinish"im for davening on Shabbat and even during the week (including getting up early for Slichot during Elul!), but also sat with the hesdernikim as they sung Shabbat zemirot and had a beautiful oneg Shabbat.Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-49566353156397441432013-01-01T19:06:29.844+02:002013-01-01T19:06:29.844+02:00the opposite perspective can be drawn. if this was...the opposite perspective can be drawn. if this was a lubavich unit , tfillin would have been on him by the 1st lunchtime. this can be seen as the lack of theologic seriousness in the mitzzvot of hochacha and areivusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-54874132917216881992012-12-29T21:24:33.132+02:002012-12-29T21:24:33.132+02:00Yaffa - Thanks and shavua tov!

This is the sort of thing Rav Lichtenstein wrote about in his essay The Ideology of Hesder. And there is much of it out there. Although not a Hesdernik, I ran into many such incidents over the years. Your son will see this again during his years in the reserves. What's more, it happens many times when we don't see it or someone doesn't say anything.<br /><br />May Hashem bless him and all his colleagues with great success in their learning, in their soldiering when need be, and with true kirvat E-lokim.Mordechai Y.
