Rabbi Yosef Avior, 83, from the Shapira center, was killed Wednesday when his vehicle collided with a pole in the Hodaya junction near Ashkelon.
Rabbi Avior was a member of the conversion court alongside Rav Chaim Druckman and was considered a halachic expert on conversions.
His funeral will take place tomorrow (Thursday) and the procession will start at 3:00 PM at the synagogue in the Shapira center and head to the cemetery in Missuot Yitzhak.
