Preident Isaac Herzog called today (Tuesday) on the Chief Rabbis Rabbi Kalman Ber and Rabbi David Yosef to declare a day of fasting and prayer for the hostages at the swearing-in ceremony of 28 new judges.
"I call on you to declare a general day of fasting and prayer for our sisters and brothers who are in the hands of murderers," said the president.
The Chief Rabbis responded to his request: "We accept his request, the request of the President of the State, and we will declare it in the coming days."
