Dozens of talmidim of HaGaon HaRav Yaakov Yosef Shlita came to Yerushalayim’s Bucharim neighborhood to rally on his behalf, in a showing of solidarity after the rav has been threatened and the subject of criticism for his major role in the Emanuel Beis Yaakov affair.
The rav, who has been lending support to Yoav Lalum in his discrimination battle against the Emanuel Beis Yaakov and Chinuch Atzmai, announced his withdrawal from the case last week amid mounting threats against him.
Lalum announced that he has been compelled to leave his Jerusalem home and he and his family are residing in a hotel in the center of the country, also due to threats against him.

Who is paying for his hotel stay?
Talmid shegala, golin rabbo imo.
Why does it matter? Maybe the hotel gavce it to him for free. Maybe his supporters took up a collection. Perhaps he has a rider on his homeowners policy that covers secret hotel stays when people threaten his life. Grow up.
