A large protest is planned for Thursday evening, 7 Menachem Av, against the drafting of bnei Torah into the IDF ahead of planned voting on the new draft bill in Knesset.
The protest is scheduled to begin at 7:00PM at Kikar HaYeshiva, Dessler Street in Bnei Brak, until 11:00PM.
Coinciding with the Bnei Brak event, a Yom Tefillah is also going to take place in the Catskills, in Camp Morris, led by the leading supporters of the Peleg in the United States, Rav Aharon Schechter, Rav Osher Kalmanowitz, Rav Malkiel Kotler, and Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel.
Last Wednesday, a conference was held in Bnei Brak at the Breslov Hall in Bnei Brak. An emergency gathering of Roshei Yeshivos affiliated with the Peleg was held to discuss increasing awareness in the community.
Organizers are providing paid transportation from many chareidi population centers around Israel.

During Vietnam War Draft And Other Drafts Around the world, Bochrim had to apply for Draft Exemptions, but now These EVIL PELEG Are Teaching Bochrim (But they And Their own kids sit safely home) to act like WILD VIOLENT ANIMALS IN STREETS in Streets, GO TO JAILS FOR MONTHS rather than apply for a Draft Exemptions, which can be done in brief time, can even learn a Daf Yomi while applying for exemption and make a Good name for Torah acting like a mensch. But instead want to BURN SCREAM ABUSE people and DESECRATE the Reputation Of those who Dress the part of Bochrim
@ywn stop being over dramatic. In camp morris its gonna be a gathering for tefillah, not a protest. Very very big difference
agreed leahleh.
i wasn’t aware of this frightening fact. the the rabbonim listed in this article actually support peleg?
Leahleh, you’ve spoken like a complete ignoramus. To compare this to America’s draft exemption’s is utterly wrong. Even walking in to the Israeli draft office these defenseless bochurim are attacked by the officers psychologically, trying to coerce these bochurim to enlist. So the Gedolim of Peleg ruled that it’s not worth it for them to even enter the office to hand in their deferral. So please Leahleh, for our sake, so we don’t need to have your stupidity and lack of basic knowledge of the issue even appear on our screens, do not even think of arguing (or agreeing for that matter) with the Gedolim, even if you don’t understand their reasoning, because you will never ever be close to their level’s.
