Drastic reduction in haredi recruitment since the new law

True aata exposed: During a hearing held today (Wednesday) monitoring committee equality law burdens chaired by MK Ayelet Shaked, provided by the Army recruitment figures among the haredi between quarters last year, showing a decline of more than 50% of Haredi army recruitment throughout the year and especially in the months since the law was passed and approved by the Knesset plenum.

Overall in recruitment began in July 2013 to June 2014 were 1972 haredi recruits.

Quarter 1 - July to September, 2013 - 601 haredim enlisted;

Quarter 2 - October to December, 2013 - 634 haredim enlisted;

Quarter 3 - January - March 2014 - 443 haredim enlisted;

Quarter 4 - April to June - 2014 294 haredim enlisted.

Recall the law for equality burden at the Knesset plenum in March 2014 but the proceedings caused much public furor during proceeding months already. Indeed, the data show clearly the influence of public outcry when in January - March decreased about one-quarter percent and the ultra-Orthodox recruits in March - after the enactment of the law - hiring rate fell to less than half compared to the number of recruits in the first half of the year.

However, compared to the same period last year - there was an increase in recruitment, by about 25 percent.

Note that the hearing last week at the committee Porush noted the decline in the past half year and mentioned that he warned in advance. "If you remember what we said six months ago, you can see why there is a decline," he explained. MK Yogev of Habayit Hayehudi added and defined the law as the law attack. "This law seriously damaged relations between the army and Haredi recruits," said Yogev.

Hiddush organization also opposed the law outlined by Yesh Atid, now rushed to criticize in light of the data exposed.

"All attempts at concealment did not cover the military conscription law that caused a dramatic reduction in the integration process of the Haredi community. All this because Yesh Atid insisted on an empty Act which contains criminal sanctions and effective law refused to be based on real economic sanctions", CEO said Uri Regev. He added that after passing the Law on ministries and all parties to do everything to prevent the rupture occur if the hits need to apply sanctions against the ultra-Orthodox public.
