The Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Eliyahu Abba Shaul, forbade his yeshiva students to attend the wedding of one his talmidim that was held Sunday evening in a banquet hall near Petah Tikva.
According to friends, the Chassan who was married last night was in a "problematic" relationship with the Hanhalah.
The directive given to the students was that whoever took part in the wedding would be taken from his bed and removed from the yeshiva immediately.
The official reason: There are no weddings in the month of Elul!
When students of other Yeshivas heard that few students showed to be "mesamach" the Chassan, they came running to the wedding.
The Ironic part was that the Rosh Yeshivah, Hagoen Hatzaddik R' Eliyahu Abba Shaul, participated in the wedding of the daughter of the Rabbi Tzion HaCohen Kook that very same night!
