After the closure of the Rashbi Zion in 7 Adar, and fear for the future of the place, rabbis in the Badatz of the Haredi community, led by the Jerusalem Governor Hagarit Weiss, issue a special protest letter about the Zion in Meron.
Under the heading ‘On Mount Meron by name’ the rabbis write, that “after the difficult decree in closing and closing the gates of Atra Kadisha Meron – the resting place of the Tanna Rashbi and RA Benno, and after the worshipers were prevented from coming and pouring out There is a great fear that this is the beginning and the beginning of the fulfillment of their plan that the place will be a place of tourism and amusement, God forbid, and that it will not belong to the ultra-Orthodox observant as it has always been. “
The rabbis of the community further add that “God forbid, if we remain silent at such a time, we will become partners in their plan to remove the saint from the place, and therefore it is the duty of every observant Jew to protest against this evil plot, and pray to God to cancel the plan in honor of the place. And in honor of the Rashbi Tanna.
It should be noted that during the night, after the police left the mountain area, dozens of worshipers broke through the entrance gates to the Zion compound, and during the night dances were held in the compound, under partial darkness due to the power outage by the council earlier this week.
