Hundreds of students from the Breslov Hasidic sect's Talmud Torah schools demonstrated on Monday outside Prison 10, protesting the recent arrest of draft dodgers at Ben Gurion Airport. The protest occurred despite a directive from the Ministry of Education prohibiting students from participating in demonstrations during school hours. The ministry's circular explicitly forbids students from joining any kind of protest, especially political ones, and prohibits school administrators and teachers from organizing or leading such events. It also states that parents or other parties cannot cancel classes for these purposes. The invitation for the students' participation in the protest was reportedly organized and managed by the administrators of the institutions where they study. The protest is linked to the detention of Hasidim attempting to travel to Uman, Ukraine, a significant pilgrimage site for Breslov followers. This incident follows earlier reports of draft dodgers flying to Uman and a subsequent announcement by the Jerusalem Faction group of large-scale protests.
