URGENT CALL BY THE BELZER REBBE SHLITA TO SUPPORT AVREICHIM

At the Motzaei Shavuos tish, נעילת החג, Harav Shimon Wolf Klein, the longtime devoted gabbai of the Belzer Rebbe shlita, read a letter and declaration in the Rebbe’s presence on his behalf.

The letter stated that Klal Yisroel is now entering the third year of the מערכה — the ongoing opposition to Torah learning in Eretz Yisroel — as government authorities continue to cut funding and take various measures to hinder Torah study. In response, the Belzer Rebbe shlita founded קרן הצלת התורה to support kollel yungerleit. Over the past two years, the fund has raised 12 million shekels per month, while Belzer Chassidim have demonstrated remarkable mesiras nefesh in sustaining thousands of lomdei Torah. Many kehillos throughout Eretz Yisroel have since adopted similar initiatives.

The Rebbe issued a heartfelt call to all Chassidim, both in Eretz Yisroel and abroad, to undertake a monthly commitment of 900 shekel, or $300, toward supporting a kollel avreich. Naturally, those who are able are encouraged to support even more yungerleit.

The Rav added that whoever stretches himself to support Torah demonstrates true hakaras hatov to Hashem. He bestowed his blessing upon all supporters and their families that they be spared from agmas nefesh, merit the koach haTeshuvah, and be zocheh to greet Moshiach במהרה בימינו.
