Leading Rabbis Visit Organization 2000 Leader's Sukkah
A delegation of rabbis and directors from Organization 2000 paid a significant visit to the sukkah of Rabbi Nissim Ben Shimon, the chief rabbinical judge of Tel Aviv, during the Sukkot holiday. Rabbi Ben Shimon warmly welcomed the guests, expressing his long-standing affection for the organization.
The delegation was led by the organization's founder, Rabbi Shalom Azoulay, who has maintained a decades-long friendship with Rabbi Ben Shimon. Also present were Rabbi Yaniv Azoulay, head of the global 'Ma'aneh Halacha' rabbinical court operating under Organization 2000, CEO Ram Azoulay, representatives from various organizational departments, editors of the 'Me'irim et HaShabbat' magazine, and other prominent rabbis and scholars.
During the gathering, Rabbi Ben Shimon delivered a discourse on the mitzvah of joy during Sukkot, drawing on Talmudic teachings about finding happiness in one's portion. The discussion evolved into a lively Torah study session, with Rabbi Yaniv Azoulay presenting complex halachic questions received by the court. The rabbis engaged in a deep analysis of these issues, particularly concerning Sukkot observances, with Rabbi Ben Shimon offering his authoritative rulings.
CEO Ram Azoulay provided an overview of Organization 2000's extensive activities, highlighting the efforts of its various departments in strengthening Jewish observance and bringing people closer to God. Rabbi Ben Shimon showed particular interest in the 'Me'irim et HaShabbat' magazine, learning about its wide distribution and a featured interview with his nephew, Gedalyahu Ben Shimon, who miraculously survived a terrorist attack.
Rabbi Ben Shimon expressed deep admiration for the organization's broad impact and commended those involved in its sacred work. He offered blessings for the new year and emphasized the great merit of those who work to spread Torah, faith, and mitzvot. The event concluded with personal blessings exchanged between Rabbi Ben Shimon and each participant, leaving a lasting impression.
