Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky determined: I will not support Hgr"a Yosef or his brother Hgr"y • Initial release

Incoming Chief Rabbinate elections are still stretching and various candidates are trying to win the support of the Gedolei Yisrael, including Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, who most of the candidates have already visited his home.

In Reb Chaim's bones mainly burns the issue of 'heter mechira', and he made it clear in recent days several times to his family and to his disciples that this issue will be the only factor in the decision to support this or that candidate.

Therefore, Reb Chaim explained emphatically that he will not support in any way the candidacy of Hgr"a Yosef, Rabbi of Holon, or his brother Hgr"y Yosef, because they both support heter mechira.
Hgr"ch is still undecided whether to support one of the other candidates Hgr"tz Boaron or Hgr"s Eliyahu, and it is possible that he will refrain from expressing support at all.

At the same time, that Chidushei Torah written recently by Hfr"ch, and which should be released soon, he sharply attacks the issue of heter mechira.

In addition, Rabbi Yaakov Shapira, one of the candidates for Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi, visited Hgr"ch, to be blessed and receive his support. Associates of Hgr'ch note that he refrained from providing Rabbi Shapira's request at present.
