41 Yeshiva Students to Spend Parshas Pinchas in Military Prison as Calls for Tefillos Intensify

Jul 3, 2026·2 min read

As Shabbos Parshas Pinchas approaches, organizations assisting imprisoned yeshiva students are urging the public to daven for the 41 bnei yeshivah and avreichim who will remain behind bars in Israel’s military prison throughout the coming Shabbos.

According to sources, dozens of Torah students will spend the day in Military Prison 10 after refusing to report to military induction centers in accordance with the directives of their rabbonim. The report describes their imprisonment as a consequence of their commitment to Torah study.

Sources state that yungerman Nehorai ben Chaya Michal and bochur Gavriel Rachamim ben Mazal Tov are expected to be released on Friday. Following their release, 41 bochurim and avreichim will remain incarcerated over Shabbos.

The sources also highlight the many organizations that continue to work around the clock on behalf of the detainees and their families, providing assistance and support throughout the ongoing crisis.

Askanim recall Monday night’s large protest gathering in the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood of Bnei Brak, where members of the Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah, roshei yeshiva, kollel leaders, and community rabbonim, led by Rishon LeTzion Harav Yitzchak Yosef, addressed thousands of participants.

During the gathering, speakers sharply criticized the government’s policies while offering words of encouragement and support for the imprisoned Torah students, whom they described as being persecuted solely because of their dedication to Torah learning.

According to sources, the following individuals remain incarcerated in Military Prison 10:
