Haredis and religious zionists to hold mass prayer against J'lem partition
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Modern-Orthodox, Haredi 

Religious zionist rabbis and ultra-Orthodox community leaders will hold a joint prayer rally on Tuesday at the Western Wall to protest the partition of Jerusalem, in what is considered an unusual collaboration between these two sectors.

The event has received the blessings of Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, the leader of the Lithuanian Haredi community, Rabbi Ovadia Yossef, the spiritual leader of Shas, and former Sephardi chief rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu.

Large banners advertising the event were posted in ultra-Orthodox streets on Monday, sponsored by the Council of Torah Sages of the United Torah Judaism party, while in the religious zionist sector, pamphlets were spread on behalf of the Rabbis for the Land of Israel.

These pamphlets mentioned the "difficult state of security in Sderot and in the entire country," as well as "plans that endanger the whole nation that could tear Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem to pieces."
