Tonite at 10:00pm- Demonstration in Alon Shvut in front of Judge Alexander Ron’s house:

The Rosh Yeshiva of Of the Od Yossef Hai Yeshiva, Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, was arrested today after the investigation of a few students by the Shabak was not advancing. The Rabbi arrived for the investigation in the afternoon and at the end of the interrogation he was told that he is arrested.

An urgent appeal was filed in which the court and the judge on duty- Alexander Ron, resident of Alon Shvut, was asked to discuss the issue of rabbi Shapiro already tonight, and this in order to prevent a situation in which a Rosh Yeshiva, father of 11 children, would have to stay in jail overnight. Such appeals are common in such cases.

Judge Ron, who had already come home, refused to discuss the case and said that only tomorrow morning a date for the discussion of the case will be set- eventhough this meant that the Rabbi would have to stay in jail overnight.

Without even discussing the issue of insulting the honor of a Rosh Yeshiva, one has to ask: is the afternoon nap of judge Ron more important than the night sleep of Rabbi Shapira?
