Egged Hiring Drivers for Mehadrin Lines
For the first time ever, Egged placed ads to encourage
Jerusalem's chareidi residents to join company-sponsored
training courses in preparation for jobs as drivers on the
mehadrin lines. Suitable candidates who hold regular
drivers' licenses and meet Transportation Ministry
qualifications will participate in a six-month course at the
Egged School of Driving, including both theory and hands-on
instruction.
Egged's Advisory Council on Chareidi Transportation Matters
praised the initiative. "Without a doubt placing drivers who
keep Torah and mitzvas on the special lines will contribute
to dialogue and understanding of the needs of the chareidi
passenger," says Rabbi Shlomo Rosenstein.
The driver training program is being sponsored in cooperation
with the Joint Distribution Fund.
