The Yesha Council is arranging a massive rally for next Monday night in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv. The theme: \"Destroy the PA, Bring Back Security.\" The Iggud HaRabbanim in Israel, headed by former Chief Rabbi Avraham Shapira, has called upon the government and army to fulfill the religious obligation to defend the residents of the Land of Israel from their enemies.
Arutz-7\'s Effie Meir reported on two spontaneous demonstrations in Jerusalem along the above lines: \"The Pesach vacation has not started yet, but many high school students say that because of the general situation here, it’s hard for them to study. Some of the youth have therefore organized a couple of \'youth\' rallies. Outside both the Prime Minister\'s home and office, high school and college students gathered early this week to say they refuse to accept neither the terrorism nor the widely-publicized \'refusal to serve in Yesha\' phenomena. It\'s not clear when they\'re planning to leave. High school student Niva Ben-Shachar of Migdal Oz said, \'I have many many matriculation exams, and lots of stuff on my head, but despite this, we are going through a terrible time, and I and the other youth feel that we just have to do something already…\' Another girl said, \'We\'re not a political movement; all we\'re asking is that the terrorism stop and that we receive a fair chance to fight back… I can\'t sit any longer at home and do nothing…\'
\"Outside the Prime Minister\'s office, youth from the Yesha community Shilo gathered on Sunday, and many others have since joined - many of them with sleeping bags. They have an interesting plan for next week: to meet with MKs from the left side of the political spectrum, including Meretz leader Yossi Sarid and Trade Minister Dalia Itzik (Labor).\"
The Chief Rabbinate of Israel has determined that next Wednesday, March 13, Erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan, will be a national day of fasting and prayer on behalf of the nation of Israel and for Jews worldwide. A special prayer service will be held at the Western Wall.
