Rabbi Shmuel Betzalel, a prominent member of the Council of Torah Sages and head of the Porat Yosef Yeshiva, has sent a letter of encouragement to Yaari Lieberman, a groom who was arrested during his "Shiva Brachot" week, a period of celebration following a wedding. In his letter, Rabbi Betzalel praised Lieberman for his dedication to Torah study, stating, "Fortunate are you that you merited to be among those who sacrifice themselves for the study of the holy Torah. Be strong and courageous, and do not let your heart fall, for God is with you wherever you go."

The Rabbi further offered words of comfort, wishing the groom a swift salvation, a return from darkness to light, and a reunion with his home, studies, and wedding joy.
