Modi'in Illit Laying Groundwork for Kosher Power
Station
By A. Cohen
Intense work has been underway for months at the future site
of the kosher power plant in Modi'in Illit. Upon completion,
the entire city will be connected to a power plant free of
all concerns of chilul Shabbos, making it the first
city ever powered entirely by electricity in accordance with
the rulings of the Chazon Ish zt"l.
Starting immediately after Rosh Hashanah bulldozers and other
heavy equipment rolled onto the rocky ground to dig, remove
boulders, crush rocks and lay roads. Gradually the stony
ground disappeared, making way for the construction of the
unique facility.
Mayor Rabbi Yaakov Guterman made unprecedented efforts to
obtain the certification necessary and to plow through
various bureaucratic procedures.
