Rav Shalom Cohen on Tuesday told his followers not to do any ultrasounds during pregnancy, Kikar Shabbos reported.
According to Kikar Shabbos, former Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar was also present at the gathering, as were rabbis from the Bonei Olam organization, which helps couples pay for fertility treatments.
“I am telling everyone: Today, I don’t know what they demand from pregnant women, to come, to do an ultrasound, to see if it’s male or female, to see if it’s whole or not whole. For what reason?
“I am telling you, the best thing is not to go anywhere.”

Become a Mesayem Today: “You’ll be able to tell your einiklach!”

Over 100,000 yidden worldwide are expected to celebrate in unison The Siyum of Daf Yomi next year, b’ezras Hashem, under the umbrella of The Agudah.

Each lomeid – past, present and future – is a most valued component of The Siyum and the Daf Yomi revolution. However, perhaps none can appreciate the Daf’s true influence as those who have learned it for the longest period of time.

Since April 2008, the Gateshead kehillah has benefitted from the leadership of its rov, Rav Shraga Feivel Halevi Zimmerman. Now, eleven years later, Rav Zimmerman is moving on, having been hired by the Federation of Synagogues in London to serve as the new head of its Bais Din, Matzav.com has learned.
Rav Zimmerman will assume the new position in several months, when the current head of the Federation Bais Din, Dayan Yisroel Lichtenstein, retires.
