Tens of thousands of participants from across Israel are expected to gather on Sunday evening, November 5th, for a massive rally organized by the United Torah Judaism party in Bnei Brak.

Senior rabbinical leaders have issued a special call to action, titled "A Time of Trouble for Jacob, and from It He Will Be Saved," urging attendance as a sacred duty. They described the rally as a response to what they perceive as persecution of Torah scholars and yeshiva students, emphasizing the obligation to stand and act with all their might for the sake of Torah and its learners.

The rally has received approval from the Israel Police, and Ha'Amalot Street will be closed to traffic during the event. Public transportation, including bus lines from Haredi communities and train services to the nearby Bnei Brak station, will be increased to accommodate attendees. A special complex will be designated for media coverage.
