Two prominent rabbis, Dov Landau and Moshe Hillel Hirsch, have issued a joint letter calling on the public to attend a large gathering scheduled for Sunday in Bnei Brak. They described the event as a "sanctification of God's name" and emphasized its importance in light of what they termed a "campaign for the honor of heaven." The rabbis urged attendees to come together as one to "increase the sanctification of God's name in public."
The appeal specifically addressed yeshiva students, those working to support their families, and students in advanced yeshiva programs, encouraging their participation to enhance the sanctification of God's name. Concurrently, another letter signed by over 150 yeshiva deans, led by the Council of Torah Sages, was released. This letter strongly urged voters to cast their ballots for the "Yahadut HaTorah" (United Torah Judaism) party, identified by the letter Gimel (ג'). The signatories declared it a "great obligation to vote for list Gimel and thereby sanctify God's name publicly," warning against abstaining from this duty or voting for parties that do not align with rabbinic approval, to avoid desecrating God's name.
