Yeshiva bochur Yosef Levi, a talmid at Yeshivas Pe’er Yosef, was released from Military Prison 10 on Sunday morning after spending nearly three months in custody following his arrest at his home in Yerushalayim’s Armon Hanatziv neighborhood.

Levi’s arrest sparked protests and demonstrations, while his father, Rav Meir Levi, undertook an extraordinary show of support for his son outside the gates of the military prison.

For 42 consecutive days, Rav Meir remained outside Prison 10 with a shtender and Gemara, learning Torah day and night despite the intense summer heat.

He slept in his vehicle and refused to leave the area, remaining near his son throughout the detention while demonstrating his unwavering commitment to limud haTorah.

When Yosef finally walked out of the prison gates Sunday morning, he was greeted by family members and friends with singing and dancing.

The celebration outside the military prison was organized by the Nosnim Gav organization.

After nearly three months behind bars and 42 days of his father learning Torah outside the prison gates, Yosef returned home to his family and yeshiva.
