Thousands of avreichim and talmidei yeshivos affiliated with the Peleg Yerushalmi faction held tefilos on a city street Friday night, tefilos that turned into a showing of support for the Sephardi talmid yeshiva who was arrested last week by the military police for failing to report to an induction center, and is now serving his sentence in a military prison.

According to persons who saw the event, the tefilla in Modi’in Illit turned into a real protest outside the beis medrash of the mora d’asra of the city, HaGaon HaRav Meir Kessler Shlita, and when davening ended, they began shouting insults at him.
According to many avreichim who were witness to the spectacle, “The protestors crossed a red line by turning a protest tefilla event into cries and scolding against a Rov and Moreh Halacha, and this crosses all borders”.
