Without shame: 147,000 shekels distributed to draft dodgers at a festive event in Bnei Brak

The 'Prison 1000' project distributed 147,000 shekels to military draft dodgers at a festive event in Bnei Brak. The initiative, led by rabbis, gives 1,000 shekels for each day spent in military prison. One draft dodger received a check for 16,000 shekels.

An event of the 'Prison 1000' project took place on Saturday night in Bnei Brak, where cash grants totaling 147,000 shekels were distributed to military draft dodgers. The initiative, led by mainstream rabbis, gives 1,000 shekels to draft dodgers for each day they spent in military prison. Footage from the event shows one draft dodger receiving a check for 16,000 shekels after serving 16 days in prison, with the check bearing the title 'Torah prisoner'. This is not the first event of the project; at the end of September, a large procession was held in Jerusalem for draft dodgers released from military prison, where similar grants were also distributed. The headline and article adopt a critical tone toward the event.
