So far, the celebration has passed peacefully. Tens of thousands of people celebrated the Rashbi's celebration in Meron tonight," said Kahane. He added: "As a lesson from the severe disaster that occurred in Meron last year, this time we took significant safety precautions to ensure the safety of the celebrants. Due to the congestion that occurred between one and three in certain places on the mountain, and mainly to prevent dangerous situations, we were forced to carry out a regulation process that led to a long wait for some of the celebrants. This incident was handled and everyone who had to wait arrived in Meron. "It is important to note that the event is not over yet. We are continuing to work to ensure that the celebration continues as usual and to allow everyone who bought tickets to arrive in Meron, celebrate, and return home safely.".

The revelry in Meron ended successfully with all the celebrants healthy and safe.
That is precisely the role of a state.
Do not allow autonomies that lead to chaos and danger to life anywhere.
Governance.
And, in contrast, we have enormous challenges in the field, in almost every corner of the country.

Thank you to the Israel Police and congratulations to members of Matan Kahane who managed this.

"Last night and during the night, the first day of the annual celebration took place on Mount Meron," the minister said this morning.

This year, we learned lessons, and preparations were made that included investment in infrastructure, a new operating concept, and joint work by all parties. "During the recent period, I came to Mount Meron to approve police plans for the celebration, and it was clear to me that professional and good work was being done. Our top priority was the responsibility to maintain the safety of those celebrating during the night. "I stayed on the mountain during the night and closely followed the events. Happily, we managed with joint forces to allow the masses to hold the celebration peacefully during the evening and night, without any casualties and without any special incidents. "The success so far is the result of careful preparation by the Israel Police, led by the district commander, Superintendent Shimon Lavie, and the Commissioner-General, Major General Kobi Shabtai, Project Manager Zviki Tesler, and the other parties involved, who worked for many months to make the celebration possible. ""Also noteworthy are the tens of thousands of participants, who also understood the magnitude of the hour and helped us get through the night peacefully. I call on the celebrants who will arrive today to act according to police instructions so that they can happily celebrate the event. "I would also like to thank Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Matan Kahane, who led the event on behalf of the Israeli government."
