The Vizhnitzer chassidus in Bnei Brak has announced a major gathering scheduled for this Motzaei Shabbos for young men and avreichim affected by Israel’s military draft requirements, as the chassidus continues its campaign against efforts to enlist yeshivah students and kollel members.

According to an official announcement released today, the asifa is intended for all members of the chassidus classified as draft-eligible, including bochurim and avreichim between the ages of 17 and 30.

Organizers said the gathering will focus on the challenges posed by the draft issue and the proper course of action for those facing interactions with military authorities.

The program is expected to feature addresses by the Strikover Rebbe and attorney Menachem Stauber, who will discuss both the legal and spiritual dimensions of the current situation.

The upcoming event follows a similar gathering held approximately six months ago that was geared toward yeshivah students. At that assembly, Rav Shimon Shisha provided participants with detailed guidance regarding interactions with the military establishment and the procedures surrounding draft offices.

During his remarks, Rav Shisha outlined how young men should conduct themselves when summoned to military induction centers. He emphasized the importance of understanding precisely what information they may hear, what materials they may view, and how they should respond to military representatives.

Following those instructions, participants were advised not to engage in discussions or maintain contact with military authorities unless they had first received detailed direction from qualified professionals experienced in handling draft-related matters.
