In a significant development, the Sanzer Rebbe has agreed to join the upcoming Keren Olam HaTorah mission to the United States following a heartfelt request from Slabodka Rosh Yeshiva Rav Dov Landau. The campaign aims to bolster Torah institutions facing dire financial shortfalls due to budget cuts and economic challenges.
The pivotal meeting took place several days ago when the Sanzer Rebbe visited Rav Landau at his home in Bnei Brak. The Rebbe had come to participate in a special gathering focused on strengthening outreach efforts for children from non-religious backgrounds. The event was attended by many leading gedolei Yisroel.
Following the event, the two gedolim held a private meeting in Rav Landau’s home. During their conversation, which focused on the pressing state of the Torah world, Rav Landau made an earnest appeal to the Rebbe, urging him to join the U.S. fundraising mission on behalf of Keren Olam HaTorah.
“I find it very difficult to travel,” Rav Landau confided, “but I feel it is my obligation.” He then turned to the Rebbe and said with deep emotion: “Join me—to help save the Torah world.”
Though the Sanzer Rebbe has not traveled abroad in several years, he was deeply moved by Rav Landau’s plea and has agreed to take part in the mission.
The upcoming trip will include major gatherings and meetings with leading philanthropists and central Jewish communities across the United States.
The mission will once again be led by the gadol hador, Slabodka Rosh Yeshiva Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, as well as the mashgiach Rav Don Segal, the Rebbe of Rachmastrivka, Rav Avraham Salim, Rav Dovid Cohen, Rav Shimon Galei, Rav Yaakov Hillel, and Rav Pinchas Abuchatzeira.
