A three-day secular musical event which took place in Tzfas
caused much inconvenience to those who visited Tzfas on
rosh chodesh Elul to daven at the graves of the
tzaddikim there. Due to a decision of the municipality
and the city's police department, the thousands of
mispallelim who flocked to the city from all over the
country had to park their cars outside the city's limits, and
then, after paying 10 shekels, board busses taking them to
the city proper. From there, they had to walk from the city's
center to the graves of the tzaddikim.
This decision upset the mispallelim who come to Tzfas
every year in honor of rosh chodesh Elul. Since so
many people arrive in Tzfas for this purpose, and they
include many elderly people and children, it is not
reasonable to force them to march in the beating sun to the
graves.
