A memorial gathering was held to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the passing of Rabbi Y. Pinchasi, the head of the ARI kollel in Bnei Brak. The event also honored Rabbi David Betzri, an elder kabbalist and head of the 'HaShalom' yeshiva in Jerusalem, who passed away on the last Sukkot holiday. Rabbi Betzri had prayed in Rabbi Pinchasi's synagogue in his final years, having lived near it in Bnei Brak.

Speakers at the memorial included Rabbi Natan Ben Senior, head of the 'Binyan Zion' yeshiva; Rabbi Yitzchak Peretz, a colleague of Rabbi Pinchasi; Rabbi Yehoshua Pinchasi, Rabbi Pinchasi's son and successor as rabbi of the 'Beit Raphael' community; Rabbi Shlomo Betzri, rabbi of the 'Beit Yosef' community in Givatayim and son of Rabbi David Betzri; Rabbi Yosef Chaim Pinchasi, head of the 'Beit Raphael' kollel and son-in-law of Rabbi David Betzri; and Rabbi Yosef Pinchasi, head of the ARI kollel, son of Rabbi Y. Pinchasi, and son-in-law of Rabbi David Betzri.

The following day, prayers were held at Rabbi Pinchasi's grave on Har HaMenuchot in Jerusalem, led by his brothers and sons.
