The Haifa branch of Machon Yerushalayim recently held a gala

HaRav Bamberger delivered an address. The branch, located
within Yeshivas Nachlas Helevi'im, includes on its staff
some of the most prominent talmidei chachomim in the
city. HaRav Yaakov Berkowitz is head of the branch. Two
years ago, an additional Machon branch was founded in the
Haifa Seret- Vizhnitz outstanding talmidei chachomim
and headed by HaRav Boruch Zoldan, one of the editors of the
new volume.
The event was attended by the Chief Rabbis of Israel, the
Chief Rabbi of Haifa, roshei yeshiva, Haifa and area
marbitzei Torah, the ga'avad of Makava, chief
rabbis of various cities, dayonim, Haifa chareidi and
religious communal leaders, and the heads and rabbonim of
the Machon. Among the roshei yeshiva who attended were the
roshei yeshiva of Nachlas Helevi'im, Knesses Chizkiyahu and
Seret- Vizhnitz.
The guest of honor at the event was Reb Hershy Friedman of
Canada. Known for his many activities on behalf of Torah,
Reb Hershy is also patron of the Machon Yerushalayim edition
of the Shulchan Oruch Hasholeim. The many speakers
cited Haifa's great merit in being an active partner in this
illustrious publication.
