The decision to stop providing security services for former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife and children was at the top of the headlines all week. But another Israeli public figure could very well require security detail after receiving threats: the elderly leader of the Lithuanian ultra-Orthodox community, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky.
Kanievsky’s home has received threats recently from vaccine opponents, who were angered by the rabbi’s clear instruction, directing parents to vaccinate their children without delay. The rabbi issued his instruction after meeting with the health ministry, and following the ministry’s announcement on opening vaccination for children aged 5 to 11.
