Private Binyamin

Ma'ariv claims that a third of Israeli national religious girls today serve in the army instead of doing national service. Sounds wildly inflated -- and the paper does not say how it reached that figure. Still, even if only a sixth of the girls go to the army, it would be a revolution.
The paper attributes the growth in numbers to "the change in the status of women in religious society in the last several years."
