"Emes v'Shalom Ehavu!"

In a historic step of unity and kavod haTorah, the leaders of the Vizhnitz kehilla of Williamsburg sent a delegation tonight to the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a and conveyed the heroic and self-sacrificing decision, at the directive of the Vizhnitz Rebbe of Williamsburg shlit"a, to withdraw from their planned community within the borders of the expanded Kiryas Joel

The decision came after the direct request of the mara d'asra, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, who stands at his holy post to keep a watchful eye that Kiryas Joel remain as originally established, and who turned with a personal holy mission to the Vizhnitz Rebbe of Williamsburg shlit"a that for the sake of the future of Kiryas Joel, the plans to build the Vizhnitz community within the borders of the expanded Kiryas Joel should not be continued.

Satmar chassidim worldwide, and the residents of Kiryas Joel in particular, applaud the self-sacrificing step of the holy Vizhnitz kehilla, which was prepared to withdraw despite the enormous sums and resources they had already invested over recent years in the project in the Village of South Bloomingrove in the expanded Kiryas Joel, and are stepping back entirely in order to help protect and save the future of the holy city of Kiryas Joel, may it be rebuilt, which was founded with the heart's blood of the holy Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zy"a, to be a separate corner solely for his students who walk by his light and conduct themselves according to the foundations and traditions he set down, in accordance with the ways of the Torah and the tradition of his holy forebears.

The current 160 apartments, which will be ready in the coming months, will go to Satmar developers, who will sell them to students and chassidim of the Rebbe and conduct themselves according to the directives of the holy Rebbe, founder of the city, zy"a.
All the remaining areas will be sold after the days of Purim, which should come upon us for good.

The holy Rebbe, founder of the city, zy"a, the mara d'asra of Kiryas Joel, will surely be grateful to the holy Vizhnitz kehilla for helping to protect his legacy, the holy city of Kiryas Joel, about which the holy Rebbe zy"a expressed himself: "Were it not for Kiryas Joel, I would have accomplished nothing in this world," and in these great days of Purim, he will surely bring down good blessings from on high upon the entire Vizhnitz kehilla, and especially the esteemed askanim, and above them the Vizhnitz Rebbe of Williamsburg shlit"a.

The Kiddush Hashem is very great when one sees "Emes v'Shalom Ehavu."
Kiryas Joel remains Kiryas Joel!! By the strength and merit of that elder.

"V'ir Kiryas Joel tzahala v'sameicha"
