This afternoon at around 6:00, a gathering took place in the holy home of the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a in Kiryas Joel, concerning the upcoming day of tefillah and assembly, "Zaakas HaGolah." The roshei yeshiva HaGaon HaGadol R' Eliyahu Ber Wachtfogel shlit"a, Rosh Yeshivas South Fallsburg, and HaGaon R' Yaakov Horowitz shlit"a, Rosh Yeshivas Beis Meir, attended.

The Rebbe shlit"a greeted the roshei yeshiva and discussed all the details at length.
With the help of Hashem, it was decided to move forward with the plans for one large assembly of all sectors and circles in the streets of the city, in accordance with the guidelines set in advance that were decided in the middle of the summer, when it was jointly resolved at the communal assembly that it will be dedicated to tefillah and supplication among a multitude of people, without any speeches.

Instead of speeches, a professional statement will be prepared for the press, which will proclaim the strongest voice of protest and kiddush Hashem in the broad streets, at the same time as we storm the heavens for Heavenly mercy with verses of Tehillim and selichos, with the communal prayer of countless thousands of Israel!

It was strongly emphasized at the gathering that extra funds should be donated for this, to ensure that the press receives the right message, which will resonate from one end of the world to the other.

At the gathering they also discussed at length a change that some wanted to make to what had been agreed upon, that there should in fact be speeches by various speakers from here or abroad. The decision remained, with the agreement of each of those present, to stay with the plan that was jointly agreed upon at the first gathering in the middle of the summer, as stated, for the benefit of the cause and so as not to run into difficulties from several sides, as everyone understands.

It was also decided, at the request of the leading roshei yeshiva, that the assembly should take place in New Jersey, closer to the yeshiva towns where the bnei Torah are now spending the beginning of the zman.

Now the askanim of all the kehillos will move ahead and arrange all the technical details to carry out the will of all the gedolei Yisroel, and to bring about the enormous gathering to arouse Heavenly mercy for our brethren, the Jews living in Eretz Yisroel who are in distress and captivity under the bitter decree, as the wicked government has reached a full decree of conscription that threatens all chareidi bochurim with prison or, Heaven forbid, apostasy.

The chareidi community is eagerly anticipating and hopeful to be able to demonstrate this historic event, and may no obstacles come, Heaven forbid, to disrupt the plans, as in recent weeks and days the Satan has tried everything possible to place stumbling blocks in the way.

After the gathering, the Rebbe shlit"a took leave of the distinguished roshei yeshiva shlit"a with warmth and many blessings, and accompanied them out to the street.
