Harav Dovid Yosef, the Rishon L’Tzion and Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, called on Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog to join President Donald Trump’s recent public call to honor Shabbos.

Speaking during his weekly shiur, Harav Yosef connected Trump’s White House proclamation encouraging Americans to respect Shabbos with the upcoming “Shabbos Kallah” before Shavuos, citing Chazal that Klal Yisroel will be redeemed through Shabbos observance.

“If a non-Jew respects our religion so much and calls for honoring Shabbos, then certainly we Jews should unite around keeping Shabbos Kodesh,” the Rav said.
