The study hall of the Torat Hamedina organization is located in the Beit Orot neighborhood on the northern ridge of the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem. Last Monday evening, a few dozen men, most of them dressed in the Haredi-nationalist style, some of them armed, were taking their seats in the hall where a book launch was about to begin for “Mashiv Haruah” (“Restorer of the Spirit”), whose aim is to posit “a Jewish alternative to the ‘Spirit of the IDF’ document,”also known as the army’s Code of Ethics.
