Harish Community Celebrates Torah Achievements and New Building Approval

The Akhvat Achim community in Harish held a significant celebration during Sukkot, combining the traditional "Simchat Beit Hashoeva" festival with major milestones in Torah study and community development. The event marked the completion of five years of intensive study of Shabbat laws by the scholars of the "Pri Tzadik" Kollel, culminating in the publication of a new Torah book of the same name.

The "Pri Tzadik" book, authored by the head of the Kollel and its scholars, is an 832-page work featuring over 300 contemporary questions and answers across the four sections of the Shulchan Aruch, scholarly articles on Shabbat laws, a study program, and comprehensive references. The publication represents the culmination of diligent, in-depth study by the Kollel members.

Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, the Mayor of Harish, Yochai Fragie, announced the approval of building permits for the community's permanent structure. This news was met with enthusiasm, signifying a major step towards realizing the community's vision and establishing a permanent center for its religious and communal activities. The Deputy Mayor, Shlomo Peretz, who has been instrumental in supporting the community's efforts, was also in attendance.

The evening was graced by the presence of prominent rabbis and Torah scholars, including Rabbi Yitzchak Ratzabi, Rabbi Moshe Ratzabi, Rabbi Asher Zidon (Chief Rabbi of Harish), Rabbi Yair Sharfi, Rabbi Tamir Khazi, and Rabbi Shlomo Kadosh. The event fostered an atmosphere of joy, unity, and spiritual upliftment, highlighting the community's vibrant religious life and ongoing commitment to Torah study.
