Minister of Religious Affairs Rabbi Yitzchak Vaknin (Shas) revealed Sunday the framework for holding the celebrations of the hilula of the Rashbi in Meron.
“The issue of the hilula of the Rashbi was dealt with by the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis after realizing that we are expected to stay under different restrictions for a prolonged period. I asked the office’s chief executive to prepare a proposal that would allow the continuing litigation on the one hand and maintain the Ministry of Health regulations on the other,” Minister Rabbi Vaknin said.
“The hadlakos will be carried out in four complexes (Boyan, Gandi, Hillel, Toldos Aharon complex). Each hadlakah will be attended by the Rebbe or Rav, and ten other participants. Each hadlakah will take about an hour.
“The hadlakos will be broadcast live across the country.”
Rabbi Vaknin added: “There will not be any entry to the tziyun or its surroundings, no hachnasas orchim, no VIPs will be allowed, only those whose presence is required to fulfill their duties at the hadlakos.”
