According to Ladaat, the Chief Rabbi of Acco, Rav Yosef Yashar, has come up with an idea to strengthen the concept of the Torah learning being the true protection of the Jewish nation, in light of the decision to use criminal sanctions on those who will avoid the draft in favor of learning Torah. Rav Yashar's idea is to amend the prayer for the soldiers of the IDF and include in it the yeshiva students and all those who learn Torah. He has called on those shuls around town in Acco that say the prayer for the soldiers to now say the amended prayer.
