Enlistment
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I’m a student and I still haven’t enlisted. Should I leave my studies now and enlist (from a halakhic, moral, etc. perspective)?
Answer
For reserve duty? Only if they call you up.
Discussion on Answer
I didn’t understand. Are you in the academic reserve track?
No. I just postponed it. (More precisely, this was asked in the first person on behalf of a cousin. Not that it matters). ??
Okay, never mind. If they postponed it for you, then everything is fine. When they start looking for volunteers, we can discuss it.
I haven’t enlisted at all. I meant that I was planning to enlist later. ??
