Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox went to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's grave this evening (Tuesday) in the Sanhedria Cemetery in Jerusalem, contrary to the Korona's restrictions, and despite calls from the rabbi's sons not to go to the grave.

This is the seventh year in which the death of the rabbi is celebrated.



In the last two weeks, his two sons, the Chief Rabbi of Israel, the Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, and Rabbi David Yosef, a member of the Shas Council of Sages, went out calling not to go to the grave of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef due to the spread of the corona virus.

They called for lighting a candle in his memory in the houses but not for gatherings around his grave.



The rabbi's students were documented huddled around his grave and in the cemetery plaza.

Some were documented without masks near other worshipers.
