Prominent Rabbi Visits Mount Meron for Yom Kippur Prayers

The story · English

Rabbi Meir Tzvi Bergman, a leading Rosh Yeshiva (head of a religious seminary), made a significant prayer visit to the holy site of Mount Meron on the 13th of Elul, during the Ten Days of Repentance leading up to Yom Kippur. This marked his first such pilgrimage to the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.

Rabbi Bergman traveled in a sprinter van that was previously used by Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, a revered Torah scholar, and is now utilized by Rabbi Mordechai Sternbuch, a prominent halachic decisor. The journey commenced in the late morning, with Rabbi Bergman arriving at the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in the afternoon.

During his prayers, Rabbi Bergman interceded on behalf of those who support his yeshiva and the "I Sacrificed My Soul" fundraising campaign. He also recited "Mi Sheberach" prayers for the recovery of prominent rabbis, specifically mentioning the Rebbe of Belz and the Rebbe of Vizhnitz.

A group of Rabbi Bergman's close disciples accompanied him on this spiritual journey. The event was documented by photographer Shuki Lerer.
