The Or Chaya seminary in Yerushalayim was shut down on Wednesday following a devastating fire caused by an electrical malfunction that left 48 people injured earlier in the week.

The closure was ordered by the Yerushalayim Fire Department as a result of safety concerns surrounding the building.

In response to the fire, the commander of the Yerushalayim Fire Department strongly criticized the structure, labeling it a “death trap.” He further warned, “next time, the students might not be so fortunate,” emphasizing the severe risks posed by the building’s inadequate safety measures.
