Aliya and IDF

Q&A from Rabbi David Bar-Hayim:

Q:

Dear Machon Shilo,
Is it the Rav’s opinion that Jews from outside Israel should make aliyah and enlist in the IDF at this time? Thank you.

A:

In my view, all Jews should make aliya to EY.
Enlisting in the IDF, which should immediately be renamed THE ISRAELI ARMED FORCES, is a separate and involved question.
Much depends on the person asking the question.
