Preparations are intensifying in Vizhnitzer Center for the upcoming atzeres of protest known as Za’akas HaTorah, with organizers planning to transform the area near the home of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara into a functioning bais medrash filled with avreichim engaged in uninterrupted Torah study.

According to organizers, the initiative was ordered directly by the Vizhnitzer Rebbe, who instructed that hundreds of avreichim and bnei Torah arrive carrying gemaros and standers. The goal is to establish a vibrant outdoor bais medrash, conveying the message that the proper response to what participants describe as persecution of Torah is more Torah, more learning, and the powerful sound of kol Torah.

Organizers said the Za’akas HaTorah protest will take on a distinctly Torah-centered character. Rather than a conventional demonstration, participants intend to continue their regular seder halimud throughout the gathering. Leaders in Vizhnitz say the event is meant to give voice to the anguish felt by lomdei Torah, their wives, and their families over what they describe as the imprisonment of bnei Torah solely because of their dedication to learning.

At the same time, organizers say police have raised objections to holding the protest at the planned location near the attorney general’s residence. Sources within the chassidus said a final decision on the venue is expected Wednesday morning following additional consultations with law enforcement authorities.
