Aish Machal and Aish Hatorah?

I’m not sure how much need there is for this “Aish Machal” program when the official Mahal (www.mahal-idf-volunteers.org) program (previously known as Mahal 2000) has been around for years and has an established reputation with those wishing to serve in the IDF.

I’d also like to understand why the author of the article chose not to mention the Aish in Aish Machal. Is Aish Machal another front or Trojan horse for the Aish Hatorah ultra-Orthodox missionary organisation? If so, why is this not stated up-front?

Israel and the IDF will still pay a stiff price for the incendiary cocktail of fundamentalist religion and military service, wrapped up in religiously homogenous units with their own rabbinic commissars!
