Much has been said about the involvement of the ultra-Orthodox sector during the war. Haredi volunteers come to the conference grounds, hospitals and hotels where the evacuated residents of the envelope are staying and make them happy. Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews have already applied to the IDF to enlist. The phenomenon manifests itself in full force at ultra-Orthodox weddings. In recent weeks, there has hardly been an event in the ultra-Orthodox sector in which the Israeli anthem Hatikvah is not played, with many documentaries circulating on social media. "Who would have believed," commented users.

This is not a trivial matter. For years, the ultra-Orthodox sector found it difficult to fully connect with the Israeli public. Although for many years there have been Knesset members and even ministers from the haredi sector, for example, the haredim found it difficult to celebrate Independence Day.
