Meeting of One Hundred Roshei Yeshiva

By Yechiel Sever

At five p.m. on Monday 13 Teves, some one hundred roshei yeshiva and prominent figures of the Torah world from all over Eretz Yisroel, gathered in the Beis Hamedrash of Oholei Yosef Talmud Torah on Rechov Hirsch in Bnei Brak. The purpose of the emergency gathering of these representatives of the whole of Klal Yisroel's yeshivos was to protest the appalling decree of forced army service.

The participants came in response to the call of HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman to assemble and plead for our lives in view of the public announcement of the decisions of the Shaked Committee regarding the attempt to coerce bnei yeshivos to be drafted so as to sever them from their Torah study.

The Decisions of the Assembly are ( available here. )
