Hasmonean Brigade GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
The Hasmonean Brigade (Hebrew: חטיבת החשמונאים) is an infantry unit in the Israeli Defense Forces under the Education and Training Command. The brigade was founded to accommodate Haredi soldiers, who were previously exempt from conscription in Israel. The brigade is currently being arranged and commanded by Colonel Avinoam Emunah and will potentially have up to 4,000 soldiers.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense says the unit is intended for single or married soldiers who wish to maintain their Haredi lifestyle and combine their religious studies with military service.
Enlistees will undergo 8 months of training to join the brigade, which includes rifleman, stealth, open terrain warfare, and night operations training. They are also required to sign a document stating that they will follow a halakhic lifestyle, which includes maintaining a beard and peyos, refraining from foul language, and dressing in accordance with Jewish law.
Organization
As of 5 January 2025, the first 50 Haredim had successfully enlisted in the brigade.
