The Jaffa Military Court on Tuesday, 4 Nissan, decided that Yeshiva Bochur Meir Brodiansky will be released by week’s end. Meir is affiliated with the Jerusalem Peleg faction, and as such, he did not register with the draft and is therefore AWOL. He was arrested by police at a routine car inspection when they realized he is wanted by military police.
The court sentenced him to 20 days imprisonment, which should end this coming Monday. However, for each ten days served, two days are removed in addition to time permitted for leave, hence the rabbonim believe he will be released before Shabbos.
Attending the hearing were HaRav Tzvi Friedman, HaRav Baruch Shmuel Deutsch, HaRav Shmuel Markowitz, Mashgiach Yeshivas Kol Torah HaGaon HaRav Yerucham Brodiansky, HaRav Mordechai Auerbach (A brother of HaGaon HaRav Shmuel ZT”L) and HaRav Eliezer Diner.

All these rabbis should be in military demanding immediate release of Elor Azariya
Why is the government treating these traitorous gangsters with silk gloves,not only should they give long prison sentences to someone not registering with the army,but they should also put on trial all these so called traitorous Rosh Hyeshivas and Rabbi’s who encourage this outright criminality and sedition,in any other normal country these traitors would be serving long prison sentences or even might be hanging from the gallows
you are not updated guys at YWN – the prosecutors appealed and he received 45 days with one week holiday for pesach.
If you don’t live here, you might not be aware that many kids from leftist communities also avoid “holy” army conscription. That the army admits openly that only about 50% of draft candidates end up serving in the army. Oh, and BTW, do you consider the lefty, anarchist, palestinian- supporting academicians, artists, “intellectuals,” etc. who openly encourage disobedience by avoiding the draft to also be “traitorous gangsters” who encourage this outright criminality and sedition,” etc. ?
Let’s be consistent about it. You should demand that ALL draft dodgers be considered criminals who deserve long prison sentences — or none of them. Unless you have some special disdain for rabbonim, roshei and talmidei yeshiva.

Yes I am aware that some people avoid serving with all kinds of excuses ,but all of them do register with the draft as required by law,and then it is the army’s decision whether they are drafted or not,but these ignorant savage gangsters and maurauders are being instructed and encouraged by some traitorous criminal Rabbis to break the law and NOT register as required by law,even though they know that if they are Yeshiva students they will get an automatic deferement.
These animals together with their criminal So called Rabbi’s need to get long prison sentences.
By the way I am a chareidi Jew myself,and am utterly disgusted and ashamed by the criminal gangsterism perpetrated in the name of Torah and religion.
What a gigantic CHILLUL HASHEM
