Abstract
This article analyzes the ways in which Haredi yeshivah students reflect on their exemption from military service in Israel. It demonstrates that this view is composed of three aspects: an idealistic vision of yeshivah dedication and exemption from obligatory military service; students' critique on the yeshivah-based religiosity emphasized by contemporary leaders and founders of the community; and students' fantasy on Haredi military service and militarism. Analysis of the Haredi view on military service highlights a deep transformation in Haredi religiosity in Israel and changing relations with the Israeli state and society.
