HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau issued a letter following the Supreme Court’s discussion on the Chareidi draft law.
In the letter, the Rosh Yeshivah calls on Bnei Torah to gather for the recital of Tehillim and tefillas Yom Kippur Katan over the impending decrees for Bnei Torah and the precarious security situation in Eretz Yisrael.
“To Acheinu Beis Yisrael, residents of our Eretz Hakedosha and in every location,” HaRav Landau wrote.
“All of us, yirei Hashem, see and feel the yoke of the galus that is burdening us in all walks of our life, in the wickedness of the Umos HaOlam and the evil plots of the people in power in our land to uproot us from the source of our chiyus, to uproot the bnei yeshivos and kollelim from limmud haTorah.”
“And therefore we call upon the bnei yeshivos and kollelim and all yirei Hashem to gather on erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan for tefillas Yom Kipper Katan and the recital of Tehillim to awaken rachamim. And Hashem should save us and provide us with the zechus to receive the Torah b’ahavah uv’simcha…”

I am busy with special prayers today לכבוד יום-ירושלים
I am Davening today for the safety of those who put their lives on the line to protect the Am Hashem haYoshev b’Tzion, and who are thereby being Mekayem Halacha Pesuka as brought by the Rambam and the Rema. I am also Davening that what Pirkei Avos says is the potential pitfall of Chachamim not being Zahir in what they say and thereby leading others astray – and note that Pirkei Avos is addressing those it refers to as Chachamim – will no longer be the case here.
