Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky's funeral procession is expected to begin tomorrow (Sunday) around 1:00 PM in Bnei Brak.

The ceremony, which is expected to be attended by hundreds of thousands, will cause many traffic disruptions and a partial shutdown of Gush Dan as early as this morning.

The police will start blocking roads as early as 07:00, and Road 4 will become a kind of central parking and shuttle complex and traffic in parts of it will be stopped.

Police fear a situation where the incident will be too mass, which could result in casualties.

This, after the funeral procession of Rabbi Hauser, during which four people were crushed to death.

The ultra-Orthodox public believes that this is a funeral that will exceed the number of participants at the funeral of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and warned that the city of Bnei Brak, unlike Jerusalem, is not suitable for events of this magnitude.

"Jerusalem is a city with wide roads and streets where it is not difficult to allow the passage of such a huge number of people. Bnei Brak is mostly built of narrow entrances where the great danger is seen," they said.

"Our public does not see eye to eye in such cases. Its goal is to get as close as possible to the stretcher of the great of the generation, Major General Chaim Kanievsky, so the police on the road are unfortunately not interested in them.

I suggest to the public that he give up moving to the city on Sunday. "
