Rabbi Samuel Eliyahu Blesses Minister Ben-Gvir at Jerusalem Prayer Service

Thousands of worshippers gathered in Jerusalem's Valley of Hinnom for a Sukkot holiday prayer service, attended by ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Amihai Eliyahu. During the morning prayers, Rabbi Samuel Eliyahu, the chief rabbi of Safed and father of Minister Amihai Eliyahu, bestowed a special blessing upon Minister Ben-Gvir. The blessing, known as "Mi Sheberach," is traditionally recited for individuals.

Rabbi Eliyahu called upon the assembled crowd to join him in wishing Ben-Gvir success, praying that he "merits to achieve double the success for the people of Israel. To implement the kingdom of David, a kingdom of holiness. May we merit complete redemption and very great success." The service, part of the intermediate days of Sukkot, took place in the Valley of Hinnom, with both ministers participating alongside the public.

The event also saw the participation of thousands of activists from the Otzma Yehudit party.
