Prominent Rabbis Visit Rabbi Nissim Ben Shimon in Sukkot Gathering

Translated & summarized from JDN by baba
The story · English

A delegation of rabbis and administrators from the organization '2000' paid a festive visit to the sukkah of Rabbi Nissim Ben Shimon, head of the rabbinical court of Tel Aviv, during the Sukkot holiday. The delegation was led by the organization's founder, Rabbi Shalom Azulai, and included Rabbi Yaniv Azizi, head of the global 'Ma'aneh Halacha' rabbinical court, CEO Ram Azulai, representatives from various departments, and editors of the 'Me'irim et HaShabbat' magazine.

Rabbi Ben Shimon warmly welcomed the guests and highlighted the importance of the '2000' organization, which he has supported for many years. He delivered a discourse on the mitzvah of rejoicing during Sukkot, emphasizing that true happiness comes from contentment with one's portion, drawing on Talmudic wisdom and incorporating moral lessons and inspiring stories.

The gathering transformed into a study session as Rabbi Azizi presented complex halachic questions received by the rabbinical court. The attending rabbis engaged in a lively discussion, debating various opinions and rulings related to Sukkot, with Rabbi Ben Shimon offering his authoritative halachic conclusions.

CEO Ram Azulai briefed Rabbi Ben Shimon on the organization's extensive activities, including its rabbinical court and other departments, aimed at strengthening Judaism and bringing people closer to God. Rabbi Ben Shimon expressed particular pleasure upon seeing the 'Me'irim et HaShabbat' magazine and learning about its wide distribution. He was also moved to read an interview with his nephew, Gedalya Ben Shimon, who miraculously survived a deadly attack.

Rabbi Ben Shimon expressed deep admiration for the significant work of '2000' and its dedicated members, offering a heartfelt blessing for their efforts in disseminating Torah, faith, and mitzvot. The event concluded with individual blessings from Rabbi Ben Shimon to each participant, leaving a lasting impression of encouragement and spiritual reinforcement.
