Yonatan Reiss

Rabbi Yonatan Reiss is the founder and owner of the Chadvata-Yeshiva in Yavne, Israel, which prepares ultraorthodox Jewish students for military service while maintaining their religious commitments. As a father of five and a prominent figure in the Haredi community, he advocates for a balanced approach to education and military service, believing that not all ultraorthodox individuals are suited solely for full-time Torah study. He envisions a future where a third of the population studies Torah, a third serves in the military, and the rest engages in secular professions, reflecting a harmonious society.
