Rabbi Dov Lando, a prominent Lithuanian-haredi leader, has initiated a significant move urging several haredi factions to withdraw their investment funds from Israel. This action is intended as a protest against the arrest of haredi yeshiva students who refuse military enlistment, and Rabbi Lando has approached the Eidah Haharedit to join the effort. The request is notable due to longstanding differences between the groups, with the Eidah Haharedit traditionally opposing cooperation with state institutions. Members of the Eidah Haharedit are weighing the proposal carefully, acknowledging Rabbi Lando's influence and the potential for dramatic financial consequences. In a rare gesture, Rabbi Lando also visited two detained haredi men at a military prison, underscoring the seriousness of the situation.
