At the Metivta religious school in Bnei Brak, under the leadership of Rabbi Shmuel Eliezer Stern, the chief rabbi of western Bnei Brak, young children celebrated a "Chumash party," marking their first milestone in Torah study. The event was attended by a distinguished gallery of senior rabbis, including Hasidic rebbes from Daas, Alexander, Biala Bnei Brak, Rachov, and Kalishitz, whose descendants study at the institution. The mayor of Bnei Brak and his deputies also participated in the ceremony.
In a joyful moment at the event, Rabbi Stern broke into an energetic dance with the mayor amidst the children’s circle, highlighting the festive atmosphere. The celebration was marked by music and cheers from the children, emphasizing the community’s commitment to religious education and tradition.
This event reflects the close ties between the city’s municipal leadership and its religious authorities, as well as the importance placed on early childhood religious milestones in Bnei Brak. The presence of multiple prominent rabbis and the mayor underscores the communal support for Torah study and religious life in the city.
The celebration also featured inspirational messages reinforcing faith and perseverance, with references to maintaining trust in God even when success wanes. The event was part of a broader series of religious and communal activities taking place in Bnei Brak and other Haredi communities.
