The great Lithuanian ultra-Orthodox rabbis, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky and Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, as well as Rabbi Shalom Cohen, president of the Shas Council of Sages, went out together tonight (Tuesday) in a dramatic call to get vaccinated. After a meeting with Rabbi Elimelech Firer, chairman To the healer, the latter issued a statement on their behalf and clarified that their position is that "anyone who can be vaccinated - is right to do so."
Rabbi Firer noted that he had recently been asked by the rabbis to inquire about the proposed vaccine against the corona virus, and presented them with his conclusions, including an unequivocal recommendation to get vaccinated.
"From the experiment that was performed properly and according to all the accepted and customary parameters in the world of medicine, it has been proven that there is no risk in receiving the vaccine," he clarified.
"Allergy sufferers of all kinds will consult with the family doctor on how to get the vaccine under medical supervision," Rabbi Firer added on behalf of the great ultra-Orthodox rabbis.
"Since the experiment was conducted among ages 16 and up, young people up to the above age who want to wait for the experiment of young people their age - they have something to rely on.
This is an important call, only the fear of responding to the vaccine in the Israeli public in general and the ultra-Orthodox in particular. "
