Naor Narkis, a candidate in the Democrats party primaries, has declared that on Tisha B'Av this year, all will learn Torah. The statement, reported by multiple sources, comes as the primaries heat up. Tisha B'Av is a Jewish day of mourning and fasting, traditionally associated with study and reflection. Narkis, who has been accused of violating his IDF service agreement in exchange for benefits, as The Zioneer reported earlier, is positioning himself on religious and national themes. The declaration is his latest public move in the primary race.
