Legal Adjudication for Soldiers
The purpose of the committee to advise the nascent Sanhedrin on military and security issues.
The committee deals with fundamental security problems, and advises the Sanhedrin so that it can operate in areas where, until now, rabbinical bodies have been unable to deal with them.
In parallel to the committee, a rabbi experienced with military problems was appointed in order to rule for requesting soldiers on halachic questions relevant to the military and characteristic of military activity:
Just like Sabbath observance in emergency situations, illegal orders to desecrate the Sabbath, kashrut problems, and even problems of faith.
