Organizers of the pilgrimage to the tomb of Rabbi Yitzhak Gabra published an access plan for the event, expected to draw tens of thousands. The plan details new access roads, shuttles, and parking, despite a police ban issued Wednesday, according to the organizers.
Organizers of the pilgrimage to the tomb of Rabbi Yitzhak Gabra in Moshav Aghur published a detailed access plan for the event, expected to draw tens of thousands of participants. The plan includes a new access road connecting the 'Eretz Kedem' compound with the tomb site, bypassing Moshav Aghur, a dedicated parking lot with shuttle services, and expanded reception areas. Starting Sunday, vehicles will be directed via Route 35 from Beit Guvrin junction, while Route 38 from Srigim-Aghur will be closed. Shuttles will operate from Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, and Beitar.
As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, Jerusalem District Police Commander Superintendent Avshalom Peled signed an administrative order banning the pilgrimage, citing the organizers' failure to meet safety conditions set by experts. The publication of the access plan indicates the organizers are proceeding despite the police order. The event is still in the planning stage, and whether authorities will enforce the ban remains unclear.
