Hundreds of Vizhnitzer avreichim are expected to hold a protest on Wednesday under the banner “The Cry of Torah,” following a directive from the Vizhnitzer Rebbe, Kikar H’Shabbat reported on Tuesday.

According to the report, the Rebbe instructed hundreds of avreichim and bnei Torah to gather outside the home of a senior figure in Israel’s judicial system to protest against the persecution of the Olam HaTorah, the attempt to humiliate the honor of Torah and its students, and the imprisonment of bnei yeshivos.

The protest will take the form of a public beis medrash. Avreichim will bring Gemaras and shtenders and continue their regular sidrei limmud at the demonstration site.

The chassidus said the purpose of the protest is to give voice to the pain of Lomdei Torah and their families in light of the reality of Bnei Torah being thrown into prison solely because of their commitment to Limmud Torah and adherence to the guidance of their Rabbanim.
