Its resolution is due to the fact that many ieshiva scholars have been diagnosed with the virus since the ultra-Orthodox establishments resumed their studies on 23 August.
Gamzu also infuriated the Haredi network and other politicians with his opposition to a massive collection of Jasidic pilgrims in the Ukrainian city of Ouman over Rosh Hashaná, who falls this year on 18 September, for fear of a large outbreak of coronavirus.
Some have accused Gamzu, who sent a letter to the Ukrainian president imploring him to ban hajj, from assaulting a Jewish pilgrim in the city through local residents, including the leader of the Bratzlav Hassidic sect in Israel, Nahman Benshaya, who said on army radio on Wednesday: “Gamzu’s letter has the Bible of anti-Semitism in Ukraine. “
Miki Zohar and Ze’ev Elkin of Likud echoed this position, claiming that the Israeli tsar of the coronavirus has stoked anti-Semitism with his hajj posture to the tomb of Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav.
Following Gamzu’s letter, the Ukrainian president announced earlier this month that the country would “significantly restrict” Jewish visitors’ access to Rosh Hashaná at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but did not specify the extent to which the pilgrimage would be limited. the prime minister had made such a request, but many members of Bratslav’s Hasysidic sect held Netanyahu accountable and swore they would never do it politically again.
According to the Twelfth Canal, after the Jasidim withdrew their support, Netanyahu told the rabbi leader that he was running to find a solution that would allow them to enter Ukraine and make a stopover in Eman.
Since then, the government has formed a panel to consider a imaginable proposal to allow some to travel, although it is not sure that Kiev is open to it.
Chain number 12 reported Wednesday that two Bratslav Hasidim in Uman had a coronavirus. Citing the mayor of the city, the network said there were fears that they might have inflamed other people.
