A historic rabbinical court session was held for the 'Prison 1000' project, which supports Haredi men studying Torah. The judges presented the first payment check to Avraham Angel, a "prisoner of Torah." The initiative has received widespread praise for its integrity and is preparing for its first collection, which will be a small amount due to broad participation.

A significant and emotional rabbinical court session took place for the 'Prison 1000' project, more than a month after a movement united the Haredi sector. The leading rabbinical judges convened for a dramatic session around the discussion table. The peak moment occurred when the judges rose and personally presented the first payment check to Avraham Angel, described as a "prisoner of Torah." The project has garnered unprecedented admiration for its integrity and is preparing for its initial collection, which will be a small sum due to the large number of participants.

The 'Prison 1000' initiative aims to provide a financial safety net for Haredi men who choose to dedicate themselves to Torah study, offering them a monthly stipend. The project's organizers emphasize its transparency and the broad support it has received from across the Haredi community. The initial payment to Angel signifies the project's operational launch and its commitment to supporting scholars.
