GEDOLIM VOTE! HaRav Edelstein Walks By Foot To Poll, HaRav Shalom Cohen Wrapped In Tallis & Tefillin

HaGaon HaRav Gershon Edelstein went by foot on Tuesday morning to the polling station to vote for Yahadus HaTorah in Israel’s elections.

HaRav Edelstein is makpid to walk to the polling station by foot, saying that it’s part of kiyum hamitzva, although it’s a considerable distance of almost half a kilometer (.3 miles) for the elderly Rosh Yeshivah.

HaRav Edelstein’s talmidim accompanied him with spirited singing.
