Rabbi Dov Lando, a prominent Rosh Yeshiva, participated in a cornerstone-laying ceremony for the third phase of the "Beit Halevi" community project in Netivot. This event echoes the historic cornerstone-laying ceremonies for the first two phases, which were attended by Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch. During the earlier ceremonies, Rabbi Hirsch emphasized Netivot's special status and the great merit of establishing a magnificent Torah community in the southern part of the country, stating, "Netivot will be the largest Torah center in the south."

Over 700 families of scholars and important Torah students have already purchased homes in the Ramot Meir and Beit Halevi projects, relocating to Netivot with a vision of building a strong and glorious spiritual future. The project aims to establish a significant Torah presence in the city, which is increasingly seen as a burgeoning center for religious life in southern Israel.
