It should be posted and summarized or translated everywhere.
Hopefully, I'll produce a post about it at a later time to keep it in the public eye (from my little corner, anyway).
But for now, I want to make this point:
Rav Zamir noted how charedim compromise nearly all of Zaka and Hatzola.
After any kind of tragedy involving the deaths of Jews, Zaka comes to clean up the dead bodies in a respectful manner for burial — in a particularly gory event, this includes collecting Jewish blood, Jewish ashes, plus bits and pieces of Jewish flesh and Jewish bones.
Because in many situations, Zaka members found themselves among the first responders, they also trained themselves in first aid — meaning, Zaka saves lives too.
There are a lot of ignorant voices screaming about all charedim avoiding army service (which is no longer true anyway, as Rav Zamir notes).
But charedim (including yeshivah men) make a huge contribution via Zaka and the paramedical emergency services of Hatzola.
And maybe all the people frothing against the yeshivah men for avoiding the army draft should recall that is the charedim of Zaka and Hatzola who, for decades now, come to clean up the horrific and heart-breaking results of the policies implemented by the same people who seek to draft the yeshivah men.
