About this listen

 A podcast featuring light-spirited but content-heavy conversations between Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer, a Haredi community rabbi and head of the Iyun Institute, and his daughter Shira, a young and ambitious woman searching for her place in Israel. Conversations bounce between culture and ideas, Israel and Haredim, politics and society, all within the famed and feared generational gap.Copyright 2025 Iyun Social Sciences Spirituality

    The Rabbi's Daughter Ep.5: The Haredi Draft: Between Duty, Piety, and Identity
    Aug 7 2025

    What happens when Charedim join the army? And what happens when they

    don't?

    In this episode of The Rabbi’s Daughter, we dive into the tensions,

    hopes, and complexities surrounding Haredi enlistment in the IDF. We

    talk about Haredi identity, nationalism, and military service — and what

    lies in between.

    This is a conversation about pain, contradictions (real or perceived),

    and the evolving story of one of Israel’s most sensitive and

    volatile debates.
