Israel’s Chief Rabbi, Rav Kalman Meir Ber, was involved in a minor traffic accident Tuesday morning while returning home from Shacharis.

A statement issued by the Chief Rabbi’s office said the incident took place shortly after the rabbi completed his morning prayers.

As a precaution, Rav Ber was transported to a hospital for medical evaluation and testing to ensure that he had not suffered any internal injuries in the accident.

Doctors conducted a series of examinations, and after the tests were completed, the rabbi was discharged a short time later after no significant medical concerns were found.

His office stated: “The rabbi was examined at the hospital and released shortly afterward – with no abnormal findings.”
