Kabbalist Rabbi Bneiahu Shmueli released a video statement on Tuesday to refute what he described as false announcements circulating in the name of Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Moshe Tzedakah. Shmueli stated that various messages attributed to Rabbi Tzedakah were fabricated, asserting that Rabbi Tzedakah's actual directive was, "Every person should act according to the opinion of their rabbis."

Rabbi Shmueli explained that when Israeli rabbis approached Rabbi Tzedakah regarding a "fateful campaign," Rabbi Tzedakah signed his name and included Shmueli, writing, "Every person should act according to the opinion of their rabbis, and may good blessings come upon him." Shmueli emphasized that any other messages attributed to Rabbi Tzedakah were untrue and taken out of context.

He further clarified that Rabbi Tzedakah did not issue specific instructions on what to do or not do. Instead, he advised that "every person, whoever they are where they study in the yeshiva, should ask their rabbi, and whatever their rabbi says, so it shall be, and that is best." The primary goal, according to Shmueli, is to elevate the prestige of Torah study and ensure individuals direct their actions for the sake of Heaven.
