From Bnei Brak to distribute cholent at Thursday night vaccine drive
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe predominantly ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak is taking creative measures to encourage its residents to get vaccinated, including distributing steaming bowls of cholent on Thursday night in a late-night drive.
The city says its inoculation centers will remain open on Thursday night until midnight, with snacks and cholent, in a bid to drive up the numbers of vaccinations, according to Channel 12.
According to the Health Ministry, just 17% of Bnei Brak’s residents have received the first dose of the vaccine and 9% the second. The city is among the worst-hit in the pandemic.
