HaGaon HaRav Yitzchok Zilberstein is urging the attendees of Sunday’s levaya in Bnei Brak for sar hatorah HaRav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l to use extreme caution to ensure that nobody gets hurt.
“The sar hatorah was very makpid on v’nishmartem me’od l’nafshoseichem,” Rav Zilberstein, Rav Chaim zt”l’s brother-in-law said, adding that everyone should follow in his footsteps and be extremely vigilant and careful at the levaya.
Israeli Police expect between 700,000 and 1 million people to attend the levaya, which will begin at 12 pm (6 am EDT) in Bnei Brak. The sar hatorah will be buried next to his wife.

If they want to control the crowd they should only let true talmidim who followed his psakim (including getting vaccinated) attend.
@rabbidr I can see why it has dr behind rabbi. By us in the Yeshiva it was always seen as a scorn and גנאי to be a Rabbi Doctor. If you can pose that the כבוד התורה should be so heavily diminished I finally see what my Rosh Yeshiva שליט”א meant by his scorn of such individuals. I am sure that you are not serious about what you write, do you?
Wouldn’t a bigger kavod hatorah been to listen to his psak?
Why is it a scorn to be learned and have a parnasah?
