The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed that it has formed a committee to consider allowing women to serve in frontline combat positions, beyond the mixed gender light-infantry units in which they already serve.

Groovy kids. Not a life of health planned but the falafel. What honor for Torah family future full? Well, I have been noting comments. Hope we do.
Tired world of war. We want more hours of health in our homes. Why Israel still fights itself is a fools idea of gold safe gold. We are only to be mindful of mitzvots. Not ass, gold or microscope.
Candidly, we do have honor to be kosher in our eruv. Make them more inclusive.
This is fantastic!
Finally a real solution to the shiduch crisis. EXCELLENT!
There are about 1000 abortions in the IDF every year. Israel is the ONLY country in the world that makes women/girls serve in the army. Look at that chamor sitting among the girls.
I know I know Israel can only do wrong. erase all the good they do. and magnify all the bad. if only you applied the same logic closer to home.
Israel is the ONLY country in the world that makes women/girls serve in the army…
The only one besides Bolivia, Chad, Eritrea, Mozambique, North Korea, Norway, Sweden, Tunisia and Venezuela.
Stop believing lies that are fed to you about Israel.
if only people got this upset over issues in their own communities that they could work towards fixing.
