Agudath Israel of America, today, shared a Kol Korei from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America:
(Free translation)
23 Cheshvan, 5782
To our dear brethren:
The Jewish people in the land of Israel are in great distress – may Hashem help us! – because of the government in our Holy Land which wishes to impede Torah learning and fulfillment of the mitzvos.
In this time of distress it is incumbent upon us to join with the suffering of our brethren in the Holy Land, as their distress is ours, too; and also to cry out in prayer that Hashem have mercy on us and remove these decrees.
We therefore request that Thursday, the 29th of Cheshvan, be designated for reciting the Yom Kippur Katan tefillos or for reciting Tehillim, each place as appropriate, to awaken Heavenly mercy that we be saved from these decrees.
May it be Hashem’s will that in the merit of our prayers we shall soon see the salvation of our nation from these and all other distresses with the coming of Moshiach, speedily in our days.
