Chinuch Atzmai in Bnei Brak
By Y. Rosner
The recent visit of the Director General of Chinuch Atzmai, Rabbi Eliezer Sorotzkin, to the schools of Bnei Brak, in which he was accompanied by the deputy mayor, Rabbi Avrohom Rubinstein and his deputy, Rabbi Menachem Shapira, and prime activists of the municipality, focused public attention upon the educational empire for Jewish daughters extant in the city. Entire neighborhoods which changed their religious nature to upgraded chareidi residents have created extreme congestion in the schools. The municipality is prepared to meet this positive trend with the necessary changes to solve this problem of overcrowding before it gets out of hand.
