Tens of Thousands Demonstrated in Manhattan Against Religious Persecution in Eretz Yisroel

By Binyamin Rabinowitz

On Sunday 1 Tammuz, tens of thousands assembled in Federal Plaza in Manhattan for a large demonstration against religious persecution (redifas hadas) in Eretz Yisroel including proposals to draft yeshiva students. The demonstration was the initiative of the Admor HaRav Aharon of Satmar and was joined by the Admor HaRav Zalman Leib of Satmar and other chassidic groups in America. It was also supported by the Eida Chareidis of Yerushalayim.

Meanwhile, with a deep sense of responsibility of "One to his fellow shall declare: Be strong," the masses of bnei Torah in the U.S. rallied to strengthen their fellow Jews in a reinforcement of nonstop Torah study, especially at times of laxity, such as Fridays and Shabbos. This is in direct response to the letters of encouragement written by the roshei yeshiva in America to the tens of thousands of students everywhere.
