The first reading of the law for drafting yeshiva students into the IDF (aka "shivyon b'netel") was passed in the Knesset last night.. The Haredi MKs were understandably extremely emotional and extremely upset about it. Among the responses were MK Porush handcuffing himself to the podium, MKs Eichler and Gafni and others tearing their shirts in mourning, going out to say selichos, blowing shofar..
Here is some video of the Haredi antics... (I am surprised they found it so difficult to unlock the handcuffs..)
