Dozens of “Rabbis for Ceasefire” protesters were arrested after blocking traffic to the Brooklyn Bridge on Thursday afternoon, according to authorities and sources.

At least 56 demonstrators were arrested at the Yom Kippur event hosted by Rabbis for Ceasefire, a group of Rabbis and Rabbinical students protesting in support of Palestine and against Israel’s military action in Gaza, according to sources.

Video obtained by The Post captured scores of protesters blocking traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge while sitting in front of a “not another bomb” banner.

NYPD officers swarmed in to arrest dozens of the keffiyeh-wearing protesters, while many clapped and sang in Hebrew as cops played an audio warning that they would be charged with disorderly conduct.

Protesters appeared not to resist arrest as they were cuffed, with many of them continuing to sing.

The protest event began at roughly 3:30 p.m. at Brooklyn Borough Hall to participate in the Yizkor ritual, a special memorial prayer conducted on Jewish holidays, including Yom Kippur, according to social media posts from organizers.
