The conscription of yeshiva students to the Israeli Defense Forces has been a highly contentious issue in Israel and outside it^[1] for decades now, at least since 1977.^[2]

Large protests have been held against the conscription of yeshiva students in Israel and worldwide. Two of these protests had more than 200,000 participants and were significant in the ultra-Orthodox community:^[3]

• The ultra-Orthodox demonstration against the Supreme Court (Hebrew: הפגנת החצי מיליון),1999.
• The ultra-Orthodox demonstration against conscription of yeshiva students (Hebrew: עצרת המיליון), 2014, summarized in conscription of yeshiva students.
