Eretz Yisroel Focus of Agudath Israel Motzei Shabbos Session
The difficult situation facing the chareidi community in Eretz Yisroel will be the focus of the Motzei Shabbos keynote session at the upcoming 91st National Convention of Agudath Israel of America.
Rundown of Week's Anti-Religious Laws
To give a sense of the amount and range of the laws and political actions taken against the chareidi community, we are giving a short rundown of the most important actions of the past week.
As Shabbos was ushered out, the sad news reached the public regarding the passing of the righteous Rebbetzin Channah Rokach, wife of the late Admor HaRav Aharon of Belz, who returned her soul to its Maker at the ripe age of ninety-eight. The world lost a great woman whose entire life was permeated with the ancient grandeur of yiras Shomayim and service to Hashem, deeds of charity, a spirit of majesty, exemplary character and middos, the pride of the Belzer dynasty as the wife-helpmate of the exalted tzaddik, the Admor of Belz. Huge crowds in Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak and Yerushalayim, escorted her to her final resting place on Har Hamenuchos, where her revered husband, the Admor, is buried.
Throughout his life, Reb Yisroel of Tchortkov tried to hide the magnitude of his greatness in Torah. In his younger years he succeeded and it was only from time to time that a tiny ray of this great light would inadvertently pierce the cloud of secrecy in which he was shrouded, revealing a glimpse of his true greatness.
