After weeks of preparations, organizers from the Gerrer chassidus, the largest Chassidish kehilla in Israel, have set the date and time for a large-scale vehicle convoy protest against the arrests of bnei yeshivos.
As YWN reported last week, there was originally a plan for the entire Chareidi community, Litvish and Chassidish, to carry out a mass vehicle protest, but it was called off at the instructions of HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau.
Following the cancellation, the Gerrer chassidus made plans for their own protest, and hope to be joined by other Chassidish courts as well.
The protest is scheduled for Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.
Convoys are expected to depart from locations across the country and converge at Military Prison 10 near Kfar Yona in central Israel, where dozens of yeshiva bochurim and avreichim are currently being held.
According to the plan, organized convoys will depart simultaneously from multiple locations, merge into a central procession along the way, and continue toward the prison.
Organizers stressed that they intend to conduct an orderly, dignified, and safe protest while adhering to all necessary safety and legal guidelines.
