Collective Pursuer
Question
In my estimation we are not in that situation, but if we were to reach a situation where it is said that Haredim who do not enlist are endangering soldiers in battle, and let us assume that one individual alone would not make a difference, but only the Haredi collective—does such a thing as a collective pursuer apply to the public, or since one individual does not change anything, is there no law of a pursuer?
Answer
Clearly there is such a thing as a collective pursuer. Any people I am fighting against is a collective pursuer. But why is someone who does not enlist a pursuer? At most, he is not saving.
