A Haredi Mother Sending Her Children To Serve [Divergence 4/5]

Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to a Haredi mother named Dina about her two children who serve in the IDF, one of whom was critically wounded in the current war.

Oct. 7 accelerated the already-complicated conversation about Haredi service in the army. Here, Dina shares with us her first-hand experience as a mother of chayalim. In this episode we discuss:
  • What is it like being in the Haredi minority of IDF parents—and what is it like being one of the comparatively few IDF parents in the Haredi community?
  • What is the experience of religiously raised soldiers remaining observant in the army?
  • What is it like for a mother to send her son into battle?
Tune in to hear a conversation about how we might, as Dina puts it, be machmir about how we relate to others.

Interview begins at 7:16.
