Hundreds of students from the "Or Yisrael" yeshiva in Petah Tikva celebrated with spirited dancing and singing, reportedly in defiance of recent government decrees impacting the yeshiva world. The students sang "Utsu Etza Vetofer" (Give Counsel and It Shall Come to Naught), a phrase often associated with challenging decrees. Earlier, the students welcomed Yaakov Asher, Chairman of the United Torah Judaism party and a Member of Knesset, with the song "Vekol Asher Ya'aseh Yatzliach" (And Whatever He Does Shall Succeed). Asher was accompanied by Eliyahu Brochi, a local resident and candidate on the Degel HaTorah list. The events took place under the leadership of the yeshiva's heads, G.R. Rosen and G.M. Rabinowitz.
