The Grand Rabbi of Alexander visited the West Bank settlement of Immanuel on Thursday for a special visit aimed at strengthening his followers. The visit included a tour of the construction site for a new synagogue (shtibel), the inauguration of a new Torah study center (kollel) named "Chay Olam," and a public audience for community members ahead of the High Holidays.

Upon arriving at the shtibel construction site, the Rebbe was welcomed by the head of the local council, Eliyahu Gafni, and synagogue trustees. He received a detailed update on the construction progress, completed phases, and future plans for the building, which is intended to serve as a center for Torah study and prayer.

The Rebbe showed keen interest in the construction details, inspecting various parts of the structure and reviewing the architectural plans. He then participated in the inauguration ceremony for the "Chay Olam" kollel, led by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Sherler, where he affixed a mezuzah and toured the study hall.

The visit concluded with an extended audience session for the High Holidays. Community members, rabbis, and public figures, including the chairman of the religious council, Ofir Simchi, came to receive blessings for the new year.
