In an emergency protest rally which took place this past Sunday in Yerushalayim regarding the draft of yeshiva students, dozens of roshei yeshiva of Sephardic yeshivos met in answer to the call of HaRav Shalom Cohen, Rosh Yeshivat Porat Yosef of the Old City. He spoke clearly and sharply against the terrible decree. "We shall prove to them that the more we present a united front, they will have no power over us.
