Due to the plague of the corona and the instructions forbidding congregations: After the reading of a member of the Council of Sages, Rabbi David Yosef, not to attend the celebration of his father from the late Rabbi Yosef, whose day of rejoicing will take place next week on Wednesday, his older brother, the first To mark Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, joins the call not to go up to his father's grave.
The president of the Council of Torah Scholars, Hacham Shalom Cohen, also attached his signature to the written reading.
At the beginning of his letter, Rishon LeZion wrote: "To our brother Beit Yisrael, following the known situation, I appeal to our brother Bnei Yisrael to maintain their health and refrain from coming to the Zion of Maran Amor Ateret Roshnu Zatzokal and Zi'a."
Although there is a virtue to surpass the Zion of the Tzaddik on the anniversary.
This year I am - due to the current situation. "
Like his brother, Rishon LeZion also called on the general public to study in the books of Maran HaGara Yosef: "And everyone will take upon himself without a vow to study on the night of the Yarzeit C. Cheshvan next upon us, and also on his day, in the books of Maran Zia, Maran Zi'a will be sent to pray for those who seek good health, success in the Judiciary, and in all Mili Demitav.
Letter from the rabbis
As mentioned, this week Rabbi David Yosef published an identical call, "Under no circumstances should I go up to Zion," he pleaded.
"Naturally a lot of people will come together, which is a real fear of danger. So this year please do not go up to Zion, he said. The
head of the 'Yehava' institutions added:" There is no doubt that if Dad was alive and asked a question in halakhah whether to go up or not - he would Says not to go up, certainly not overcrowded.
If we gave up on Lag B'Omer - we can also give up on G. Cheshon. There is no doubt that this was Dad's wish. "
He said, "For anyone who loves Abba, who sat that day, C. Cheshon, and will dedicate one hour to studying Torah for the upliftment of the soul of our Rabbi Ovadia Yosef ben Georgia. One hour of Torah study for the upliftment of his soul is worth much more than ascending to Zion."
The real test will take place next week: Will those who cherish the memory of the late Rabbi Yosef obey the teachings of the Sephardic rabbis and cherish the memory of the greatest of the generation by studying his teachings and not by dangerously reaching Zion in the Sanhedria neighborhood of Jerusalem.
