Along with educational activities, the ultra-Orthodox sector is making significant efforts to promote immunization.
Tonight, a special vaccination campaign called "Green Night" took place in Bnei Brak, as part of which everyone was allowed to come and get vaccinated.
The operation included an unusual incentive: cholent (khomin) in a bag.
During the day, we vaccinated hundreds of students and residents in Bnei Brak, as part of an operation by Ichilov Hospital, the yeshiva committee and the "For Yours" association.
