Ultra-Orthodox leader Rabbi Kanievsky will be laid to rest - We will pay hundreds of million NIS

Sunday, when the leader of the ultra-Orthodox community, Rabbi Kanievsky, will be laid to rest, becomes one of the days when the State of Israel descends to an unprecedented low. The entire Gush Dan, which includes the cities of Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Ramat Gan and the cities of the Sharon, will be blocked and it seems that the Israeli economy will lose billions of shekels tomorrow.
The State of Israel does not know how to deal with about a million mourners who want to attend a funeral that will take place in a small cemetery in Bnei Brak. Each road number 4, one of the most important transportation arteries in the country, will serve as a kind of mourning camp for the ultra-Orthodox world.
Studies will be conducted through the zoom, buses will change their routes, soldiers will stay at home - and recruitment has also been canceled: for the huge funeral of "Minister of Torah", Rabbi Chaim Kanevsky, about a million people are expected to arrive - and the implications are enormous. Roadblocks all over the center will start at 6 a.m. rather than 7 a.m. as previously reported, and police fear a disaster.

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu arrived tonight at Rabbi Kanievsky's home in Bnei Brak. Lots of his followers broke through the checkpoints and approached the house. The police had to work for a long time to rescue Benjamin Netanyahu from Bnei Brak.
An assessment by the Ministry of Health states that the expectation of the participants in the funeral, which will begin at 12 p.m., is between 800,000 and one million people. They will arrive from all over the country, mainly from Jerusalem - and also from abroad. Evacuation and rescue helicopters will be on increased alert, and if necessary will be directed to land at Ramat Gan Stadium. It is estimated that many of those arriving at the funeral will be dispersed .
The police are going to be stretched tomorrow, and the fear is that a very large amount of police will be created, which will lead, God forbid, to a disaster such as the Meron disaster. The disaster that occurred last year resonates in everyone's head. "The police intend to limit the number of buses that will arrive at the funeral, and to stop some of them already at the Shiva interchange.
Sunday is always busy during the week on buses and trains, but tomorrow the rush is expected to break records due to the funeral of the rabbi, who passed away yesterday at the age of 94. Heavy loads and delays are expected tomorrow on central roads and bus lines in Gush Dan, and those arriving from Jerusalem A funeral and an attempt by hundreds of thousands to come to her and pay her last respects. Currently, the Public Transportation Authority in the Ministry of Transportation has not yet transmitted operating instructions different from the usual to the public transport companies, instructions on which lines to reinforce and which will change their route or be canceled. Without them companies can not update passengers on changes so they can prepare.
"Currently, the Israel Police's deployment plan includes closing Highway 4, with the exception of buses arriving for the funeral, and stopping public transportation in Bnei Brak," said a source in the public transportation industry. "It will be possible, as far as possible, to travel in Jabotinsky in both directions. We are preparing for a discussion with the traffic department of the police, after which we will hold a discussion with all operators where we will update and summarize preparations. Blocking Highway 4 between Raanana and Rishon Lezion will directly affect dozens of bus lines, and directing private car traffic to Ayalon lanes and Highway 6 will further increase the congestion there.
As part of the transportation operation for the funeral participants, the buses that will transport them will be allowed to bypass the blockage on Road 4, between the Morasha Interchange and the Shiva / Ganot Interchange. The intercity transport lines in the direction of Bnei Brak will start operating as early as 5 a.m., in an attempt to drive the hundreds of thousands to the funeral. The buses will not enter Bnei Brak, and will drop off their passengers at the Coca-Cola junction at the entrance to the city. Lines serving the secular population and passing on Route 4 will be diverted to other routes.
The Israel Railways, which can back up the intercity bus lines and transport participants to the vicinity of the event via the Bnei Brak station, operates on Sundays as often as possible, and the congestion will not allow trains to be added. The Sharon Railway is blocked for six weeks of urgent reinforcement work at stations along it, which limits the ability to transport trains from the Sharon region and the north to the Bnei Brak station, while bypassing the Ayalon tracks.
The train said that during the day extreme loads are expected on trains and stations, with an emphasis on the morning hours, and asked to avoid non-essential journeys. "For the safety of passengers, and in view of the real risk to human life that may arise due to congestion at stations and platforms, Israeli railway crews will regulate people entering stations according to the capacity of platforms and trains, and prevent entry to stations in extreme congestion," they said.
Soldiers at some of the bases in the center will be able to stay at home tomorrow - and enlistment in the army will also be postponed. The IDF said tonight that "given the army's desire to facilitate civilian space," there will be no arrival other than essential needs for the Tel Hashomer base and the third base in Ramat Gan. A new date will be announced later. The IDF said that access to the campus and the barracks should be reduced at the commanders' discretion. In addition, there will be changes in transportation for fighters from the center. According to the announcement, the Ramat Gan Stadium parking lot will move to the Tel Aviv-Beit Dani parking lot and the Tel Aviv Hadar Yosef parking lot will move to the Holon-Sharet terminal parking lot.
All schools in Bnei Brak, including of course Talmud Torah and Yeshivot, will not have classes. In some of the schools and kindergartens in other cities in the Dan Bloc, including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Givat Shmuel and Or Yehuda, distance learning will be held due to the expected disruptions due to the funeral of the "Minister of Torah". Director General of the Ministry of Education Dalit Stauber instructed the inspectors of the Ministry of Education in the Tel Aviv, Central and Jerusalem districts to hold a situation assessment tonight, and school administrations were asked to update during the evening if they decide to conduct distance learning.
The assessment of the situation will address, among other things, personnel issues, student transportation in special and regular education and the holding of tests. The Ministry of Education said that they would raise difficulties and fear of disruptions in these issues, then in some localities there will be no transportation, in schools there will be zooming studies and in kindergartens there will be distance learning or keeping in touch if they fail to recruit a substitute teacher. In schools where classrooms are not taught, tests will be postponed.
Studies at Bar Ilan and Ariel Universities will also take place online tomorrow. There will also be no classes in seminars around the country.
