The repercussions of Defense Minster Ehud Barak's decision to expell the Har Bracha are escalating. Some one hundred former hesder yeshiva students doing IDF reserve duty, including officers and commanders, have sent a sharp letter to Barak saying they will no longer perform reserve duty as a result of Barak’s decision to expel the yeshiva from the Hesder agreement.
The reservists said in the letter, “If they are out - so are we.”
