They've been trying and failing to get them to enlist in exchange for free school, but it hasn't worked at all lmao. All the dudes wanna do is study Torah
You might be thinking of Karaites, which is a split from Rabbinical Judaism and they only think the Torah is valid and not the Talmud.
Karaites are a SUPER small religion worldwide, off the top of my head I'd say probably a couple thousand people. (Edit: more then I thought I guess, Wikipedia says 50k max)
The Haredi are definitely rabbinical Jews like 99% of jews worldwide and Talmud is extremely important.
Like important to the point where they dont even work a job, their wives work so they can study their entire life. But yeah "studying Torah" is just a shorthand for Torah + Talmud study.

however, you can study the Torah while fighting in the IDF...
Do they read the talmud or are they the ones who only read the books of moses?
