As Britain prepares for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, Rav Chaim Dovid Weiss, rov of the Satmar kehillah of Antwerp, was asked whether a hachnosas Sefer Torah celebration can be held in the streets during the days of mourning for the Queen.
Rav Weiss replied that it should not be held, stating that Yidden should refrain from public celebrations like a chupah outside or a hachnosas Sefer Torah in the streets, which could cause hatred for Jews from non-Jews.
In a different ruling, the rosh yeshiva of the Gateshead Yeshiva, Rav Avrohom Gurwicz, said that since “the whole country is observing a full day of mourning and all schools and shops will be closed as a mark of respect,” therefore, “all Jewish institutions should act accordingly.”
