At the conclusion of Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef's address at an anti-draft-evader-arrest rally in Bnei Brak, attendees shouted 'Deri home,' referring to Shas leader Aryeh Deri, according to journalist Eli Hirshman (N12).
At a Saturday night rally in Bnei Brak against the arrest of Haredi draft evaders, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef — a senior Shas rabbinical figure — delivered a speech. At its conclusion, attendees shouted “Deri home,” according to journalist Eli Hirshman (N12).
The demonstration is the latest in a series of protests by Shas and Haredi communities against military enlistment enforcement, following earlier rallies in Ashdod, Jerusalem, and outside the home of Supreme Court President-designate Yitzhak Amit. The rally had been publicized in advance as a major gathering; Rabbi Yosef’s weekly lesson was pre-recorded to allow him to attend.
