A major anti-conscription rally is set to take place tomorrow in Jerusalem's Romema neighborhood, organized by prominent ultra-Orthodox rabbis from both Hasidic and Sephardic communities. The event will be held along Yirmiyahu and Sarei Israel Streets, with organizers expecting tens of thousands of participants. The rally is backed by influential religious leaders, including Rabbi Moshe Tzedakah and representatives from the Slonim and Chernobyl Hasidic groups. The demonstration is also linked to the Jerusalem Faction, a conservative group known for its opposition to the enlistment of yeshiva students. Although turnout is expected to be lower than last year's mass protest, the rally signals ongoing resistance within the ultra-Orthodox community to mandatory military service.
