Shavuot is a spring harvest festival that also marks the day of the Jewish calendar given to Torah on Mount Sinai. It is traditionally marked with an overnight Torah study and dairy consumption.

Israeli authorities denounced the guilt.

Mayor Givat Zeev said the building was unfinished and dangerous, and police ignored him to take previous measures. Jerusalem police chief Doron Turgeman has said the disaster is a case of “irresponsibility” and is likely to lead to arrests.

Israeli Fire and Rescue Services chief Deddi Simhi told Israeli Channel 12 that “this building is not finished. It is not even licensed for occupation and therefore even less conducive to events there.”

Television footage from that scene showed the five-story building incomplete, with concrete, a coat of arms and wooden planks exposed, and plastic sheets as windows. A sign pasted on a wall of the building warned that “access to the site is prohibited for security reasons.”

Defense Minister Benny Gantz wrote on Twitter that “my heart is with the victims of the Givat Zeev disaster.”

On April 29, an accident at a religious festival in northern Israel killed 45 ultra-Orthodox Jews, the deadliest civil disaster in the country’s history.

After warning of the seal of Mount Meron for many years, the holy site was unsafe for the thousands of visitors who take the Lag Baomer vacation every year.

About 100,000 people gathered at this year’s festivities, most of them after ultra-Orthodox Jews, powerful ultra-Orthodox politicians put pressure on the presence of interim Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others to remove attendance restrictions.

Experts have long warned that the Mount Meron complex was not adequately equipped to handle the huge crowds that gather there during the spring break and that the state of the existing infrastructure was a security risk.

The catastrophe sparked new criticism about the country’s broad autonomy given to politically powerful ultra-Orthodox minorities.

Last year, many ultra-Orthodox communities ignored coronavirus safety restrictions, achieving high incidence rates in their communities and angering a wide and secular public.
