Chairman and Secretary of New Degel HaTorah Branch in Beitar Illit Elected
by Betzalel Kahn

The newly-elected members of the Beitar Illit Degel HaTorah branch convened recently for a get-acquainted session. The board members had recently been elected, following the instructions of gedolei Yisroel to conduct internal elections in the Beitar Illit branch. More than 500 heads of families -- constituting over 60 percent of the bnei Torah community -- participated in the elections.

The get-acquainted session began with the election of chairman and secretary of the branch. Rabbi Yisroel Aisenstark, a prominent Beitar activist, was chosen chairman; Rabbi Yisroel Yitzchok Golumb was elected secretary.

Words of chizuk were delivered by Rav Avrohom Stern, rav of the Ohalei Torah community, as well as by Rabbi Avrohom Ravitz, Rabbi Moshe Gafni and Rabbi Mordechai Blau. Rav Meir Simcha Auerbach, the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Chacham Tzvi and rav of the Beitar Hadekel neighborhood, also addressed the meeting.

Closing remarks were delivered by Rabbi Yitzchok Pindrus, current deputy mayor of Beitar Illit and a candidate for the position of mayor.

The following also attended the meeting: Rabbi Yaakov Gutterman, mayor of Modi'in Illit; Rabbi Uri Maklev, deputy mayor of Jerusalem; Rabbi Avrohom Rubinstein, member of the Bnei Brak Municipality; Rabbi Moshe Frank, chairman of the Jerusalem branch of Degel HaTorah and Rabbi Bentziyon Kugler, a member of the Jerusalem Degel HaTorah executive board.
