The committee charged with increasing national service by
hareidi-religious Jews accepted, Tuesday morning, a proposal by Member of
Knesset Elazar Stern (Hatenua') to recognize emissaries of the Chabad Lubavitch
hasidic movement as doing national service within the framework of yeshiva
students providing aid and assistance to Israelis outside the country's
borders, subject to certain criteria.
Stern cited Chabad for working on a completely voluntary
basis without government recognition. He noted that at any given moment, Chabad
sends 250-300 emissaries around the world.
