Thousands gathered in Bnei Brak for the funeral of the head of the Sages of Lublin Yeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Meir Wosner, who died at the age of 82 after contracting the coronavirus.
As part of the police deployment, police officers arrived at the yeshiva building and toured the cemetery and the roads leading to it. Bnei Brak's municipal inspectors gave thousands of masks to the public throughout the funeral procession.
