A larger than usual crowd is expected at the kever of Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef ZT”L on Yom Kippur Koton for Rosh Chodesh Adar II 5774. Yom Kippur Koton will take place on Thursday, 27 Adar II at 13:00.
Heading the tefilos will be HaGaon HaRav Reuven Elbaz Shlita, and organizers announce many other prominent rabbonim will be present due to the harsh gezeiros being faced by lomdei Torah in Eretz Yisrael today.
A large number of participants are expected due to the atmosphere just days ahead of the Million Man Atzeres, scheduled for Sunday, Rosh Chodesh Adar II.

thursday isnt rosh chodesh
#1- Yom kippur katan is not on rosh CHODESH, so what are u saying?j
since shabbos is erev rosh chodesh, we observe yom kippur katan mukdam on Thursday
@rc. It doesn’t say that Thurs is Rosh Chodosh. It says that Thursday is Yom Kippur Katan for Rosh Chodosh Adar 2.
rc – it says in the article Rosh Chodesh is on Sunday (actually Sunday and Monday – 2 days this month). Yom Kippur Katan is supposed to be erev Rosh Chodesh but seeing as how this month it will be on Shabbat we don’t say tachanun or similar tefilot then (or on Erev Shabbat either) it’s pushed up to Thursday
