The Haredi Public: A politically responsible voice from Israel's ultra-Orthodox public - opinion
Fortunately, and finally, substantial numbers of haredi Israelis are moving away from this hostile approach. They think for themselves and are seeking alternative political leadership.
In recent years, the ultra-Orthodox community in Israel has been plagued by a politically responsible voice emerging from within the Haredi public. This new political party is rejecting the insular and self-defeating mindset of previous haredi politicians, who have dismissed the concerns of the general Israeli public and refused to participate in national defense or contribute meaningfully to society.
The new party believes that Haredi people are an integral part of the Israeli story, and they refuse to abandon their unique identity while advocating for full integration into Israeli society. Their proposal includes creating special military service tracks for Haredi youth, expanding state-supported haredi schools that provide a broader secular education, and working with the IDF to ensure a fair and inclusive defense system.
The Haredi Public party is founded on the belief that Haredi society has the potential to grow and mature, taking on a larger and more constructive role in the future of Israel.
