Gur Rebbe May Lead Mass Protest at Military Prison Over Yeshiva Student Arrest

Tensions are rising within the Gur Hasidic community following the arrest of a student from the Shafat Emet yeshiva. On Saturday night, Rabbi Shimon Shisha, a recruitment activist advocating for yeshiva students, held a lengthy discussion with the Gur Rebbe, who expressed interest in the details of the situation and offered his blessings. The arrest has prompted preparations for a potential large-scale demonstration outside Military Prison 10 as early as Sunday, though it remains undecided whether the protest will attract thousands or be smaller in scale. Community leaders are expected to finalize the decision within hours. This possible protest would echo a previous massive rally held at the same location weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Rebbe of Sanz is also expected to interrupt his vacation to join the protest at the prison walls. The situation continues to develop, with further updates anticipated.
