Shlav Bet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shlav Bet (Hebrew: שלב ב, English: Phase B) is an Israel Defense Forces recruitment track intended for Haredim over the age of 26 seeking to complete military service. The program is managed by the IDF's Haredi Military Administration.[1][2]
Recruits undergo 2–3 weeks of basic training and then are integrated into various reserve units across Israel. The training process includes strict prayer times, kosher meals, and daily Torah study.
An additional 4-week training course, intended to allow for Haredi reservists to serve in homeland defense units, was introduced in March 2024.[3][4]
