Some seventy Yemenite rabbonim, dayonim, and roshei yeshiva led by Rav Shlomo Yosef Machpud, Rav Pinchas Korach, Rav Ratzon Arusi, Rav Yefet Tari, and Rav Yitzchak Tzabari, signed a declaration calling on the tzibbur to read the public Krias Hatorah together with the Targum on Shabbos and weekdays per ancient Yemenite custom.
They quoted Rav Samuel Hanogid from his Sefer Ha’ittim, who wrote, “Neglecting the obligation of public translation is akin to heresy, and those who do so are considered transgressors.”
