City of Haifa to Start Including Chareidi Sector in Pesach
Activities
By G. Lazer
With the help of UTJ representative Aryeh Blitenthal and
Rabbi Yisrael Shlomai, a member of the Chareidi Matnas Board,
this year for the first time the Haifa Municipality will
include Pesach activities aimed at the chareidi sector.
Children will be able to attend three special plays during
Chol Hamoed, Nekuda Tova, Meshaneh Habriyot and
Achim Beleiv, which have been approved by Mishmeres
Hakodesh Vehachinuch of Bnei Brak.
The activities will be held at the Beis Yaakov hall at Rechov
Beitar in Haifa. Tickets cost just NIS 10 and separate hours
for boys and girls will be arranged.
Mr. Yaakov Broder, director of Hadar and the Matnas,
initiated the idea to expand cultural events to the chareidi
sector as well, saying that he is proud that for the first
time chareidi children will be able to take part in events
designed to suit their needs and that have received
rabbinical approval. The director of Esnachto thanked the
principal of the Beis Yaakov school, Rabbi Menachem Ostri,
for agreeing to place the school's hall at their disposal and
Mr. Broder for showing special understanding and making
accommodations for the spiritual aspects of the events.
