Gov't approves Giyus Law lowers exemption age to 21 for 2 Yrs
Jpost- The cabinet approved a revised IDF Draft Law on Sunday that includes plans to recruit charedim (ultra-Orthodox) into the military and lower the age of exemption to 21 for those who prefer to remain in yeshiva. The lowering of the age will be in effect for two years.
After 24 months, the exemption age will rise to 22 and a year later, it will increase to 23.
Even after the age rises, charedim will be able to complete their service at the age of 21 on condition they join the workforce through a track which provides professional training.
As part of the new law, representatives of the prime minister, defense minister and foreign minister will form a team responsible for evaluating suitable tracks for haredi service in the IDF and in alternative national service. The team will formulate a plan that meets the security, economic and social needs of the country and the haredim by November 2022.
