“AT THEIR ENLISTMENT BASES WE DON’T APPEAR” ,
ONE RABBI GOES AGAINST THE FLOW:
RABBI DAVID LEIBEL IS LEADING A GRASS-ROOTS REVOLUTION
Israel Channel 12 – Keshet.
Today, 13% of all Israelis – 1.3 million people – are Haredi (ultra-Orthodox Jews).
24% of all children attending 1st grade across Israel are Haredi.
Yet only a handful of Haredi men are integrated in the Israeli job market; even fewer are involved in the field of Israel’s defense and security.
Rabbi David Leibel is a Haredi leader, Torah scholar, philanthropist and entrepreneur leading major change within the Haredi sector.
Below is a link to TV program broadcast by Israel Channel 12, dedicated to Rabbi Leibel, Chairman of Achvat Torah, who is the driving force behind a series of projects aiming to integrate Haredi men in the country’s workforce, professional education, and the IDF – while carefully preserving their unique Haredi identity.
