Furniture Company Visits Top Rabbis, Hints at Ponevezh Yeshiva Renovation

The story · English

Ahead of the High Holidays, Anar Amiram, CEO of "Lavi Furniture," conducted a special tour visiting prominent Israeli rabbis. During these visits, he presented ornate prayer corners, each including a matching chair and lectern, tailored for personal use during the upcoming High Holy Days.

The tour began at the home of Rabbi Meir Tzvi Bergman, Rosh Yeshiva (head of yeshiva) of a prominent institution, where the company installed a new prayer corner in his room. Rabbi Bergman examined the furniture and inquired about its details. His grandson, Rabbi Avrahami Bergman, explained the company's work in synagogues and yeshivas nationwide. Rabbi Bergman then engaged with Amiram, showing interest in the company's activities and projects in Torah institutions.

Amiram then proceeded to the home of Rabbi Baruch Dov Povarsky, Rosh Yeshiva of Ponevezh Yeshiva, for whom a similar prayer corner was prepared. Prior to this meeting, Amiram toured the Ponevezh Yeshiva's main hall with Meir Eshak, a close associate of prominent rabbis. During the tour, the hall's structure and the yeshiva's needs were presented, alongside anticipated changes to the complex due to ongoing arbitration proceedings. This visit sparked speculation about the possibility of the yeshiva's main hall receiving new furniture from Lavi Furniture in the future.

The tour also included a visit to Rabbi Amram Fried, a renowned Halachic decisor. Rabbi Fried personally thanked Amiram for the prayer corner installed in his study, expressing his appreciation for the chair and lectern. Lavi Furniture, in operation for over six decades, specializes in designing and manufacturing furniture for synagogues, having furnished over 7,000 locations globally, including major study halls, yeshivas, and community synagogues. Amiram emphasized the company's commitment to tailoring each project to the specific needs and budget of the community, prioritizing comfort, durability, and long-term usability.
