putting aside the army issue, but this letter and many other reports that I have seen claim that charedim are not contributing members to society.
” …exempt from basic partnership in shouldering the burdens of security and of economic and social contributions to the public.”
Last I checked, many charedi males work, almost all females work, and all of them pay heavy taxes besides for the Meah Shearim camp, which is a drop in the bucket. so to say that we are not involved economically…
(Being involved socially, I don’t even know what that means.)
