Cholent4Vaccines

With the numbers of vaccinated among the Haredi population remaining relatively low, the authorities are trying to figure out ways to encourage people to vaccinate. Ideas are being floated about incentives and punishments, or ramifications of not being vaccinated, and here is the best one yet.
Ariel Elharar, a reporter for Kikar Shabbat, is reporting that the City of Bnei Braq has come up with the winner of a plan to get its local yeshiva bochurim and avreichim to vaccinate.
According to Elharar, the City of Bnei Braq will distribute tomorrow, Thursday, to each yeshiva bochur and avreich getting the vaccine a bag that will include a portion of cholent, a bottle of cola and a roll.
The cola will probably be something like Crystal, so no big deal. But cholent for a vaccine? Will it be pareve cholent or will it include a nice dollop of kishke and a healthy portion of meat? If it is pareve cholent, it might not get the job done. Pareve cholent works in a pinch, but they need to hit a home run for the vaccine exchange.
I knew I should have held off longer...
