Rabbinical Council for Shabbos Sanctity Discusses Upcoming Summer Programs
By Yechiel Sever
As Torah and educational institutions and seminaries put final preparations into place for camps and other summer programs, members of Vaadas HaRabbonim Lemaan Kedushas HaShabbos, founded by gedolei Yisroel, met on Erev Shabbos Parshas Shlach to discuss the obligation to arrange trips only to Shabbos-observant sites.
According to a standing directive by gedolei Yisroel shlita, "During a time when hands are upraised to wage battle against Shabbos, this is a war to uphold religious observance and no time for reticence. Every effort must be made to raise high the banner of Shabbos."
The meeting, which was attended by HaRav Yeshayohu Lieberman, head of Haseminar Hachadash in Jerusalem and director of Batya and Esnachto, which helps arrange recreational excursions for seminary students, was convened to examine collaborative means to put a stop to Shabbos desecration at various attractions around the country.
