Editing The Disengagement Plan (section)

==== Rabbinical Opposition ====
A congress of Rabbonim for Peace was held against the Disengagement Plan in Tel Aviv (December 2004).

Throughout the year preceding the plan's implementation, several rabbinic forums convened and declared their negative opinion regarding the plan. They ruled for their students and followers that the order to evacuate Yidden from their homes was an immoral order, and therefore a soldier receiving such an order should refuse it and avoid assisting with the plan.

One of the main gatherings was held by the Congress of Rabbonim for Peace in Teves 5765, organized by the Rebbe's shliach to Tel Aviv, Rabbi Yosef Shmuel Gerlitzky, with the participation of Congress members: Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, the Sadigura Rebbe Rabbi Avraham Yaakov Friedman, Rabbi of Kiryat Arba and Chevron Rabbi Dov Lior, and Rabbi David Meir Drukman, Rabbi of Kiryat Motzkin.

Additionally, on 15 Adar I, a massive gathering was held at Binyanei HaUma in Yerushalayim, organized by Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpo and Rabbi Gedaliah Axelrod from the World Headquarters for Saving the Nation and the Land, with thousands of participants. The gathering was held under the title "Mi LaHashem Eilai" and included speeches supporting order refusal. During the gathering, the participating Rabbonim wrapped themselves in sackcloth and blew shofars as an expression of mourning over the plan's progress.

About a month and a half later, on 26 Adar II, another gathering for the Religious-Zionist public was held at the Ramada Renaissance Hotel, led by Chief Rabbis Rabbi Avraham Shapira and Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, along with Roshei Yeshivos and city Rabbonim affiliated with Yeshivas Merkaz HaRav.
