Tens of thousands of Israelis are expected to attend a large rally organized by the United Torah Judaism party in Bnei Brak on Sunday, November 5th. The event, titled "For the Sake of Torah and Heaven's Honor," is intended to bolster support for the party ahead of national elections scheduled for November 7th.
Senior rabbinical leaders, referred to as "the elders of the generation," have issued a joint letter urging all religious Jews to participate, calling it a "holy obligation." They frame the gathering as a crucial response to perceived persecution of Torah scholars and yeshiva students, emphasizing the need to strengthen the United Torah Judaism list, marked with the letter Gimel.
The letter, quoting Jeremiah 30:7, "For it is a time of trouble for Jacob, but he shall be saved from it," calls for a unified stand. The leaders bless those who attend, praying they will merit divine assistance, success, and spiritual contentment from their descendants.
Public transportation, including bus routes from all Haredi centers and train services to the nearby Bnei Brak station, will be augmented to accommodate the expected crowds. Ha'Moshava Street will be closed to traffic during the event. The rally has received approval from the Israel Police, and attendees are asked to comply with instructions from organizers and security forces. A special area will be designated for media coverage.
