Interesting Psak: No Tachanun

INN brings an interesting psak from Rav Dovid Chai HaCohen, rav of the Orot Hotorah community in Bat Yam and leading student of Rav Tzvi Yehuda Kook, as a result of yesterday's elections.

Rav Doci Chai HaCohen paskened that tachanun should not be said today, Wednesday, due to the great joy resulting in the results of the elections. Yesterday the rav had people come to daven, say slichos, blow shofar and pray for the success of the national camp in the elections. After the results became clear, the rav declared today to be a Day of Praise and Gratitude.

UPDATE:
And now Kikar is bringing the psak of Rav Meir Mazuz to not say tachanun today at mincha to recognize the joy of the electoral victory.

    1. though his wife is (she is famously religious. she has even been called haredi, but whoever says that is probably using the word loosely.
      to paraphrase the Chazon Ish, Lieberman holds like Ben Gurion who didn't say hallel and also didnt say tachanun on November 2

    2. That was the Ponevezher Rav, not the Chazon Ish.

  2. This is really gross.

    1. Taking sides in elections is foolish and ugly.
