The government will have to inform the High Court about practical steps to recruit ultra-Orthodox to the IDF - but its representative in court has not yet been determined. As of this time, there are no regular working meetings between Beharve Meara and the government ministries involved in the issue.

Without her consent, the government will not be able to hire a private lawyer to represent it at High Court. The Union of Yeshiva in Eretz Israel, which represents a number of ultra- orthodox yeshiva students, submitted its response to the court on the conscription law through attorney Shmuel Horvitz. "The decisions of the court and the state affect 63,000 young citizens, who indisputably did not violate the law," the union said in a statement. "There is no dispute that from the point of view of the law, none of them is evading," it added. The court needs to know who the representative is who is updating it - whether beharve Miara, through the attorney's office, or a private attorney.
