Mayor Lupoliansky Receives Blessings from Gedolei
Yisroel
by Betzalel Kahn
Jerusalem Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky, who heads the United
Torah Jewry candidates list, visited the homes of gedolei
Yisroel last week and received their blessings and full
endorsement for the upcoming municipal elections in
Jerusalem.
The round of visits included Maran HaRav Eliashiv, HaRav
Aharon Leib Shteinman, HaRav Moshe Shmuel Shapira, HaRav
Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz, HaRav Nissim Karelitz, HaRav Chaim
Kanievsky, HaRav Shmuel Auerbach, HaRav Gershon Edelstein,
the Admor from Vishnitz, the Admor from Gur and the Admor
from Belz, shlita. Lupoliansky reported to them on the
extensive campaign activities throughout the city and
received their blessings both for his mayoral race and for
the success of the UTJ City Council list.
They also warned against the plague of reticence, urging each
and every individual to lend a hand in the municipal election
campaign, considering the many challenges the chareidi
representatives face at city hall.
This week Rabbi Lupoliansky continued paying visits to
gedolei Yisroel to ask for their blessings in his
efforts to increase kovod Shomayim through the
momentous battle for the sanctity of Jerusalem and the
expansion of chareidi representation in the city.
