Several dozen Haredi men and boys protested today in front of a Bnei Brak youth professional guidance center that they accuse of promoting military service in the IDF’s designated ultra-Orthodox tracks.

The protesters briefly blocked the car of the Netivim Center’s community director, Elazar Miara, until officers intervened to get him out, a police spokesperson tells The Times of Israel.

There were no arrests, and the protest has dispersed, the spokesperson says.
