In the article published by the rabbi in the "Olam Ketan" bulletin, he writes, among other things: "I realized that the recognition of the sorrow and suffering of the people who were injured in the earthquakes and the families of the dead was greatly lacking in the article."

The rabbi also added: "The whole State of Israel is pained by your disaster. The article comes from the belief that earthquakes do not happen by chance and it is an obligation to try to understand what God is speaking to us and to you. Forgiveness is with you if you were hurt."

A week ago, Rabbi Eliyahu wrote in the "Olam Ketan" newsletter that there is justice in the severe earthquakes in Turkey, which claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people.

In the article, the rabbi begins by pointing out the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea after the Exodus, and links this event to the earthquakes, due to the political positions of the countries from which the victims came.

As a result, he was criticized in the religious sector.
