Rabbi of Makova Visits 'Beit Le'Pleitot' Institution Before Rosh Hashanah
Just days before Rosh Hashanah of the year 5787 (2026), Rabbi Yisrael Elya Rubin, the Grand Rabbi of Makova and a prominent figure from Kiryat Ata, visited the 'Beit Le'Pleitot' institution. This holy institution is renowned for its work in rescuing Jewish girls. The Rabbi's visit was to bless the apples and honey that would be distributed to the girls of the institution during the Rosh Hashanah holiday meals.
He was welcomed by the institution's management, Rabbi Chaim Elazar Rosenfeld and Rabbi Gabriel Pappenheim. During the event, the Rabbi expressed his deep admiration for the institution's extensive global activities, particularly upon hearing about the preparations for the month of Tishrei within the 'warm and loving home' of 'Beit Le'Pleitot'.
The Rabbi recalled his visit in the year 5780 (2019-2020) when a new wing was inaugurated at the institution. He remarked, "Certainly, since then, the activities have expanded manifold. I hear much about the rescue efforts; it is a blessing for all of Israel, truly saving the generation." He also acknowledged the significant work of his long-time friend, Rabbi Moshe Yona Rosenfeld, the president of the institutions, who is currently abroad raising funds for them.
The institution's director, Rabbi Chaim Elazar Rosenfeld, presented the Rabbi with details of the ongoing operations and the expansion of rescue efforts through the establishment of the 'Bechad' and 'Bishvilcha' organizations, which support single-parent families founded in recent years. The emotional peak of the event occurred when the Rabbi, with reverence and fervent love for his people, blessed the apples and honey for the girls. For several minutes, he showered them with blessings in biblical and rabbinic language, leaving a profound impression on all attendees.
