Sephardic Chief Rabbi Flies North for Penitential Prayers
Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef traveled by helicopter to northern Israel on Tuesday evening to attend a central penitential prayer gathering. He was accompanied by Shas party chairman Aryeh Deri.
The event, held at a stadium, is part of a tradition established by Rabbi Yosef's father, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a revered spiritual leader known as Maran. The journey and the prayer gathering were described as uplifting.
