New Beis Medrash for Bostoner Chassidim in Beitar Illit

By B. Kahn

Bostoner chassidim held their first tefillos at Kedushas Pinchos, the new Bostoner beis hamedrash in Beitar Illit, on parshas Vayechi. Makeshift preparations enabled the still-not-quite-completed building to accommodate the many guests. Most prominent among them was the son of the Admor, Reb Meir Horowitz, head of Bostoner institutions in Eretz Yisroel.

Final completion of the building is set at several weeks from now. The official chanukas habayis will take place with the Admor's return from his stay in the U.S. Until now Bostoner chassidim in Beitar used the home of HaRav Moshe Shimon Horowitz, a grandson of the admor who resides in Beitar and is also rav of the Beitar chassidim. With growing crowds making this option no longer viable, the ahead-of-schedule move to the new quarters was decided upon.

At the conclusion of Shabbos, many additional guests arrived from all over Beitar for a festive melave malka. They included the mara de'asra, HaRav D. Z. Ordentlich, Council Head Rabbi Y. Gerlitz, his two assistants, Rabbi Akiva Ovitz and Rabbi Y. Z. Pinchos, among many others.
