The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a Appoints New Board Members in America to Head the Holy Mosdos Yitev Lev in Eretz Yisroel

At a gathering held last night, Sunday night, in the Satmar Rebbe's shlit"a home in Kiryas Joel, the Rebbe shlit"a appointed a group of fresh, energetic askanim as board members of Mosdos Yitev Lev in America, to head the holy Mosdos Yitev Lev in Eretz Yisroel — both to assist the board members of the mosdos in Eretz Yisroel to expand the borders of holiness of the mosdos in Yerushalayim, Bnei Brak and Beit Shemesh, and for the many-branched activities of the American office, which is engaged in raising the necessary funds to cover and finance the holy mosdos in Eretz Yisroel.

The gathering took place at an opportune time, as Mosdos Yitev Lev is preparing in the coming days to approach the public of our chassidim with a major campaign to be able to pay the hundreds of kelei kodesh of Mosdos Yitev Lev in Eretz Yisroel for the upcoming Yom Tov of Pesach, may it come to us for good. Much strength is needed so that the office here in America can keep up with the heavy work of paying the melamdim and kelei kodesh of the holy mosdos in Eretz Yisroel.

Present at the gathering were the Chassidic R' Meir Hirsch, one of the leaders of our kehilla and our holy mosdos and one of the heads of Mosdos Yitev Lev, who in recent years has devoted himself with all his energy to the Yamim Tovim so that the melamdim and teachers in Eretz Yisroel can be paid for Yom Tov. Together with him were present the two devoted, distinguished philanthropists, HaRav R' Avrohom Brach, one of the leaders of our holy kehilla in Williamsburg, and HaRav R' Avrohom Yehoshua HaKohen Glanz, one of the leaders of our holy kehilla in Kiryas Joel, who in recent years have thrown themselves into the thick of the effort to help and stand at the right hand of Mosdos Yitev Lev, particularly with the expansion of the borders of holiness of our kehilla and our holy mosdos in Eretz Yisroel.

The following distinguished, longtime askanim in all matters of holiness were appointed: HaRav R' Menachem Yuda Schlesinger (Williamsburg), HaRav R' Avrohom Sofer (Williamsburg), HaRav R' Yoel Landau (Kiryas Joel), and HaRav R' Moshe Eliyahu Wertzberger (Kiryas Joel).

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a gave his holy blessing to the new board members, and noted how the mosdos have grown beautifully, bli ayin hara, in Yerushalayim, in Bnei Brak and in Beit Shemesh, and with that the burden and the obligation of the large sums that must be sent from America have also grown.

The Rebbe praised the workers of the office and the askanim of Mosdos Yitev Lev, who, Baruch Hashem, have succeeded in raising income much more than before, but it is still a case of "a handful does not satisfy the lion," and outside help can still be used to expand the activities, and so that the mosdos in Eretz Yisroel will have a listening ear to turn to in times of need. For this reason the fresh, devoted board members are being appointed, so that together with the above-mentioned askanim they will head all the activities, with Hashem's help, to magnify and glorify Torah.

The Rebbe concluded with words of chizuk to the board and askanim in lashon kodesh: "I, the small one, will IY"H also make myself available for everything that Yitev Lev needs. Whether one needs to go near or one needs to go far, whatever needs to be done, we will do everything for the success of Mosdos Yitev Lev! It is a privilege for all of us, it is a privilege for me, and it is a privilege for you, that one can lend a hand, a shoulder, to the holy mosdos."

The Rebbe also expressed the wish that the merit of the founder of the mosdos should stand by all who help the mosdos, that they should be helped with everything good, and be blessed with success and great siyata dishmaya.

Afterwards, HaRav R' Meir Hirsch described in a few words the heavy burden that rests on the Rebbe shlit"a to cover the holy mosdos in Eretz Yisroel, and strongly praised the devoted askanim HaRav R' Avrohom Brach and R' Avrohom Yehoshua Glanz, who devote themselves with heart and soul to the success of the holy mosdos.

Eretz Yisroel is higher than all lands
