The "Achvat Achim" community in Harish held a festive "Simchat Beit Hashoeva" event during Sukkot, marking significant achievements in Torah study and community development. The celebration coincided with the completion of five years of intensive study of Shabbat laws by the scholars of the "Pri Tzadik" Kollel, and the launch of their new Torah book, also titled "Pri Tzadik."
The event was attended by prominent rabbis, including Rabbi Yitzhak Ratsabi and his son Rabbi Moshe Ratsabi, Rosh Kollel of "Pri Tzadik." Harish's Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Asher Zegdon, and Rabbi Yair Sharfi, founder of the "Achvat Achim" community and "Pri Tzadik" Kollel, were also present. Several other rabbis and community leaders participated, contributing to the evening's spiritual atmosphere.
Harish Mayor Yochai Fragie announced during the event that the building permit for the permanent structure of the "Achvat Achim" community has been approved. This development is a crucial step towards realizing the community's vision of establishing a permanent center for its religious and communal activities. Deputy Mayor Shlomo Peretz was also in attendance, having actively supported the community's efforts.
The "Pri Tzadik" book, authored by the Rosh Kollel and his scholars, is an 832-page compilation featuring over 300 contemporary questions and answers on Jewish law, scholarly articles on Shabbat laws, study programs, and reference materials. The launch celebrated the culmination of years of dedicated study by the Kollel's scholars.
The "Simchat Beit Hashoeva" celebration blended the joy of the holiday with the joy of Torah, highlighting the community's vibrant religious life and ongoing commitment to Torah scholarship and community building in Harish.
