Ultra Orthodox Jewish children participate in protest against attempts to draft members of the cloistered community into the Israeli military, in an ultra Orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel, Monday, July 16, 2012. Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews, including hundreds of children, are protesting against attempts to draft members of the cloistered community into the Israeli military. The government is currently trying to find a formula to obligate ultra-Orthodox Jews to serve in the military before a court-determined Aug. 1 deadline. ? The current law largely exempts the community from military service. That infuriates many Israelis, since almost all are required to serve. Israel's Supreme Court ruled the law must be revised.
